My latest convo with Reggie:

[MosServ]

mos_eisley_bartendar: Hey, buddy.
mos_eisley_bartendar: I was hoping you could help me out with this "God" fellow.
xover222: he does not need help
mos_eisley_bartendar: Yes, but I do. I am curious about him. Can you tell me more?
xover222: no.
xover222: he knows i talk to people he does not like when i talk about him
mos_eisley_bartendar: What does he do when he's unhappy with you?
xover222: i lose room priveledges.
xover222: no chess
mos_eisley_bartendar: How does he know when you're talking about him?
xover222: i am not sure.
xover222: he knows when i do.
xover222: he knows when i do not.
mos_eisley_bartendar: Is the computer you're using yours?
mos_eisley_bartendar: Or is it his?
mos_eisley_bartendar: Perhaps he is logging your conversations?
xover222: this is a library computer.
xover222: we close in 12 minutes.
mos_eisley_bartendar: Maybe we can talk about him in a way he can not read.
xover222: i am listening
mos_eisley_bartendar: A phone, perhaps? Or maybe encryption of some sort..
xover222: no phone calls are allowed
xover222: when i called 411 they found me
xover222: i lost priveledges.
mos_eisley_bartendar: How about we do an encryption, then?
xover222: i do not trust myself when i am medicated.
mos_eisley_bartendar: Why do you take the medication?
xover222: i have to.
xover222: i hear things
mos_eisley_bartendar: What do you hear?
xover222: voices, sounds, beeps, my chess pieces talk to me sometimes.
xover222: they tell me where they want to go.
xover222: they are not very smart.
mos_eisley_bartendar: What do the chess pieces say?
mos_eisley_bartendar: Precisely, that is. Where do they say they want to go?
xover222: the tell me to move on the board.
xover222: they usually do not last long
mos_eisley_bartendar: Is that all they ever say?
xover222: yes.
mos_eisley_bartendar: Next time they tell you where to move them, will you write down where they tell you to move?
xover222: goodnight

Perhaps it's time everyone stoped digging into reggie and looked into what we already have. Just seems like everyones kinda whining about not having enough information, when we've probably got more than enough to work with.

Will someone please compile all those bits of code we've been given and put them in one place.

[addlepated]

Osmodius,

I put all three versions of the 25+25 character code here:

Hey All,

i was on vacation for a week and i missed the start of this show! I am so mad! Now just trying to piece together what happened last week and put it in some logical order.

Anyways, no one has yet mentioned all of Reggies references to the song/musical 'Chess" by Murray Head. Specifically, the song "One Night in Bangkok"

Here are some quotes of Reggies YIM conversations:

"i do not see you guys waging the kind of mate he is contemplating."
"go back to your bars, your temples..."
"it is a drag. it is certainly a pity. you should be looking at the board not looking at the city "

Now, here are the lyrics from "One Night In Bangkok"

Bangkok, oriental setting
And the city don't know that the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world
In a show with everything but Yul Brynner
Time flies, doesn't seem a minute
Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boys in it
All change, don't you know
That when you play at this level there's no ordinary venue
It's Iceland or the Philippines or Hastings
Or, or this place

One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a God in every golden cloister
And if you're lucky then the God's a she
I can feel an angel sliding up to me

One town's very like another
When your head's down over your pieces, brother
(It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity)
(To be looking at the board, not looking at the city)
What d'ya mean
You seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town
(Tea, girls, warm and sweet, sweet)
(Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite)
Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist
Whose every move's among the purest
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine

One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me

Siam's gonna be the witness
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
This grips me more than would
A muddy old river or reclining Buddha
Thank God I'm only watching the game, controlling it
I don't see you guys rating
The kind of mate I'm contemplating
I'd let you watch, I would invite you
But the queens we use would not excite you
So you better go back to your bars, your temples
Your massage parlors

One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a God in every golden cloister
A little flesh, a little history
I can feel an angel sliding up to me

One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me


Reggie also talks about things like "bald man", and the song references Yul Brenner. All in all, many similarities between the two. The one that stands out is CHESS. I am gonna get my hands on a copy of the cd from the London recording of the rock opera Chess to see if any other similarities jump out.
