So yeah, he's a part of the game probably meant to give information about the other Vapor location in South America.


or possibly just a player like we are. just because someone is a PM for another game, doesn't mean that they can't play games that they're not involved in.

I mean, haven't we all been investigating VaporLofts prior to finding that LJ?

 		Wiki at VaporLofts
(first time posting...) Smile

There is a new post over at the point_system LJ. It references a Wiki at VaporLofts.

http://vaporlofts.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

Also... to help out with the text about Yokai/Mononoke, here is the Wikipedia page on Yokai. Definitely some overlap in the text.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yokai

i see how this can become very consuming.

(looking at page 1) At least from this forum, it started with Point_System inexplicably friending other people's livejournals. So no, it started in LJ.

 		OK, on the Vapourlofts (I don't care any more - I'll Anglicise it if I want to Smile) Wiki it asks
Quote:
"What is the Gateway?"

So I emailed them and asked. I can't tell you what exactly I said because Hotmail deleted it, but words to the effect that I was a prospective buyer and that I wanted to clear up a few things. Like Gateway One on the lounge and the randomly numbered room.

And the lighting. They say "lots of light" on the video, but it's like the inside of a coalminer's... nose Razz on all the pictures.

I didn't ask about the classified room, though. Seems they wouldn't even fob me off with a lie about that one. Maybe I'll ask about it later, worried about safety, or something.

 		one of my (many) theories is the 4 loft locations being teleportation areas, due to the fact that we found that huge generator drawing. what else would need that kind of power? plus the 4 locvations are evenly spaced around the world.

another is that those 4 locations represent the 4 corners or the earth, where the horsemen of the apocalypse supposedly come from at the end of time, slaughtering everything and everyone...

can't explain the ghostly face, but one train of thought regarding angels, demons, ghosts, vampires, etc. is that they are all ghosts or spirits moving freely between our world and theirs..,.

that's about all i've got for now.

 		what about that weird bassline you can hear while the tour guide is talking? if you have a subwoofer turned up it shakes the room, almost sounds like a weird heartbeat or something.

 		About that video clip, what are you guys hearing? I thought it was saying, "Why?" at first, but then I was hearing, "White noise" (which is probably because I was thinking of the EVPs from the movie White Noise). Anyone? Anything?

 		I thought the "baseline" as you called it was just her feet walking on the wood floor. (But it does sound a bit odd and may warrent further examination.)

As far as the ghost voice, I have isolated it and amplified it and it kind of sounds like it is saying "july".

Here is the clip I have so far....

 		I have perhaps the worst speakers in the universe, so I can't hear anything (haven't tried the above post yet, as it was made just after I clicked "reply" Razz), but is it possible that the rumbling you describe is just the sound of the tape motor or some other artifact from the filming?

Either that or it could be the whacking great big generator in the next room Smile

OK, having listened to the recording above, I still don't think its a voice. It sounds more like... I'm not sure. Just think its not saying anything. It might be saying practically anything with one or two syllables in, after all, from "ooh-arr" to "blerh" to "who is" to...

 		Has anyone had any luck getting the rest of the words from the generater pic. The ones that are really faint and did we find anything else hidden in the picture? The only other thing I can think to work on is the voice and it looks like someone's hard work is moving that along. I played with it for a while but was having a problem finding a free/shareware program to properly attack it. Other then that I'm not sure wear to look. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

 		[URL=http://www.livejournal.com/users/point_system/]The journal[/URL] now leads us to a Wiki page for Vaporlofts and seems to be gently pushing us in the direction of 'ooh it's a creepy voice' rather than a machine sound or anything else.

Ideas?

i. Monoclonal antibody units are deployed against lymphocytic toxins, but instead of the multi-specificity characteristic to previously developed strains of Vapor's mutliclonal test antibodies, these newly developed lymphocytic antibodies are directed against structural variants arising from characteristic merge failure. When used extensively, agents are able to exhibit temporary antisytemic reaction and can be given redundant overdoses to avoid the nephrotoxic effects of neuropathic inhibitors and to postpone or avert rejection of the (temporary) graft. Drawbacks include unpredictability, variable efficacy and adverse reactions (increased risk of neurological infections, varying degrees of psychosis/dementia, ranging upwards towards sudden death of parent/host, though further research towards rapid revival in flatline cases shows promise.)


ii. Research division studying near-death experiences (NDEs) have limited potential causes to psychiatric explanations or brief overloads of endorphins in the brain as causal agents for the NDE. Many NDEs share similarities with lysergic acid-, ketamine-, and hypercapnia-induced hallucinations. Research division does believe the core NDE is genetically imprinted on human DNA and triggered by serotonergic mechanisms to assist the brain and consciousness during times of critical failure (death).
