Heather & Mephisto

konamouse (9:45:35 PM): can you chat while you are playing?
xover222 (9:45:55 PM): Sure.
konamouse (9:46:14 PM): how've you been?
xover222 (9:46:22 PM): Frustrated.
xover222 (9:46:29 PM): Reggie's red knight came to visit.konamouse (9:46:38 PM): he did...what did he say?
xover222 (9:48:11 PM): Not much. I told him about reggie. He asked me if I knew anything about New River University. I told him I didn't. He left for New York.
konamouse (9:48:26 PM): oh, he talked to you?
xover222 (9:48:40 PM): of course.
konamouse (9:49:02 PM): so, you told him that reggie is gone, history, out-of-there.
xover222 (9:49:11 PM): Yep.
konamouse (9:49:13 PM): how did he react to the news?
xover222 (9:50:02 PM): Seemed disappointed. I felt bad.
konamouse (9:50:14 PM): why did he go to New York?
xover222 (9:50:30 PM): No idea. I saw the ticket.
xover222 (9:50:39 PM): He was flying into La Guardia
konamouse (9:51:02 PM): what did he ask you about that university?
xover222 (9:51:30 PM): I have no idea.
konamouse (9:52:06 PM): you felt bad? coming from you, i find that amusing.
konamouse (9:52:16 PM): are you becoming mellow?
xover222 (9:52:32 PM): must be the sensitivity class I have to go to
konamouse (9:53:15 PM): oh, don't get too sensitive on me, sweetie....i kinda liked the sharper edges you showed me when we met.
xover222 (9:55:43 PM): Liked?
konamouse (9:56:03 PM): yep, i did like it.
konamouse (9:59:27 PM): so, why did you resign so quickly in that game?
konamouse (9:59:39 PM): i was just trying to play the way you taught me, aggressive.
xover222 (10:00:03 PM): We played for pieces.
konamouse (10:00:15 PM): played for pieces? what does that mean?
xover222 (10:00:59 PM): Playing for pieces is what I call it when you get something for figuring out my game.

xover222 (10:01:06 PM): You want something. All of you do.
konamouse (10:01:38 PM): i want to be a friend.
xover222 (10:01:47 PM): I've got friends.

xover222 (10:02:32 PM): Magesteff told me about Jake.

xover222 (10:04:29 PM): Some sort of wandering do gooder eh?
konamouse (10:04:47 PM): actually, we don't do that much wandering, more like surfing (thru the internet).
konamouse (10:06:01 PM): and reggie's friend, the red knight, contacted some of my other friends, asking for help.
konamouse (10:06:05 PM): so we responded.

xover222 (12:23:41 AM): it was twisted to the side
konamouse (12:24:39 AM): bummer.

xover222 (12:39:20 AM): Who knows?
konamouse (12:39:33 AM): you promised to ask the orderlys about the red knight tomorrow.
konamouse (12:39:41 AM): can you ask them what medications you are taking?
xover222 (12:41:50 AM): I will

LOL. Our PM's are big fans of Fight Club. One of the administrators
on the NRU website is "Robert Paulson" -- the character played by
Meatloaf in the movie.

For those not familiar with the movie:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

"Tyler Durden" is the main
character's (Jack) alternate personality. Through most of the movie you
think Tyler and Jack are two different people - at the end you find out
that Tyler is Jack. Tyler and Jack start Fight Club, and then Tyler,
without Jack, starts Project Mayhem. Project Mayhem is a domestic
terrorist organization that protests corporate takeover of the culture, and
then at the end of the movie plants bombs to blow up all of the buildings
of major financial institutions and credit card companies.

"The first rule of Project Mayhem is that we don't ask questions about
Project Mayhem."

I find it interesting that there is a couple of multiple personalities in Fight club. There they also beat people up (like reggie did to whisel or whatever his name was)

personality change

mephisto has either been lobotomized or sedated. Wow what a change in his personae, makes me wonder if Reggie is on his way back. All of a sudden the brashness and arrogance is gone and he's totally cooperative even meek, easily led by kona. With the Fight Club references, could Reggie/mephisto/wheezy(I think probably another reggie personality) be also the Red Knight?

I think at this point just about anything is possible, because we simply don't have enough hard facts about Reggie or Red Knight. I mean, Caretaker has said lots of stuff, but if you wanted to play devil's advocate, you could say that he and Reggie are one, and it was Reggie's psychosis that led him to create all of the conspiracy babble that Caretaker's talking about. Or, it could all be fact and CT might actually be trying to protect Reggie and his fragile state of mind. I'm not sure we can say anything with complete certainty yet...

Mephisto said something about "shock treatment" when I first met him - as if Reggie got shock treatment and that is when he disappeared and Mephisto took over. As for his "nicer" persona, I asked him about that he he said something about a "sensitivity class" (I thought he was joking). However, he apparently is willing to chat/play chess with MosServ now (when I first met him, Mos was on his "ignore" list).

As for Red Knight/Caretaker - I feel that he is a separate entity from Reggie/Mephisto. Why would he mention the plane ticket to La Guardia? The military ring? He promised to email me more info tonight (in exchange for a picture - which I sent this morning).

SPEC: Reggie/Mephisto is an elaborate hoax, all set up with one goal in mind: getting pics of konamouse Wink

Too funny, Dishboy! Laughing

Well ... I have to admit part of me is getting a Professor John Nash* vibe from our pal Reggie. Except that if it's all in his head, it would make the game kinda pointless (unless it means a shift to a whole 'nother plotline...)

* Real-life MIT Professor John Nash was the subject of the Ron Howard film A Beautiful Mind, in which:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Nash suffered from paranoid schizophrenia, i.e. hearing voices & seeing people, and for years was certain he was working for the government, supposedly having been asked by an (imaginary) agent to assist with decoding patterns/messages supposedly included in newspapers and magazines. You can read more about his case and a review of the film here.
