Bye, bye

Well, sorry to do this to you guys, but I'm gonna have to drop out of this one now. It's been fun.

PM: Good job so far. You still need to work on a few things but for a first "go", this isn't half bad.

Everyone else: November is going to be a big month for new and exciting games to dive into. OC will be starting, as well as a few others. I hope to see some of you there.

Until then... Wink

Seems that way, I bet the real Molly will be pretty flaming mad when she finds out Twisted Evil

You mean "Jade". Razz
I'd suggest not bringing up this incident if she doesn't go first. Smile

You're right, what Jade doesn't know won't hurt her Razz . Sean just signed off though, maybe she'll come soon afterwards.

I just had a chat with Seven, here it is:

djlilia: Hey Molly
synapt1c11: Molly's away.
djlilia: And who is this?
synapt1c11: Seven.
djlilia: Where is Molly?
synapt1c11: At a meeting.
djlilia: And when is she coming back?
synapt1c11: I don't know.
synapt1c11: Molly's dangerous.
djlilia: Why is Molly dangerous?
synapt1c11: It was part of her job- company had something with someone, she'd settle it.
djlilia: So is she in a company meeting now?
synapt1c11: She's in one of the buildings around her location.
djlilia: And what was your job?
synapt1c11: I was high ranking.
djlilia: What about Jez?
synapt1c11: She's currently away.
djlilia: Where?
synapt1c11: Business, six feet.
djlilia: Do you know what happened to Eight?
synapt1c11: He worked with me years back.
djlilia: Yes, but what happened to him?
synapt1c11: I actually don't know. One day, he just was fed up. Moved to Colorado.
djlilia: Molly said he was dead, is it true, do you think Molly did something to him?
synapt1c11: I wouldn't be surprised.
djlilia: No wait it was Nine who is dead
synapt1c11: Yes.
djlilia: Do you know what happened to him?
synapt1c11: Messed up the job.
djlilia: Does Molly have something to do with this?
synapt1c11: They were tight.
djlilia: Oh Molly didn't tell me that
synapt1c11: She didn't like sharing it. I don't know why.
djlilia: And what about Alpha?
synapt1c11: Mysterious fellow.
djlilia: What was he's job at the company?
synapt1c11: He was in charge, more or less.
djlilia: Are you a close friend of Molly or what?
synapt1c11: Close.
synapt1c11: We met through Fatal11ty.
djlilia: What do you know about Emily and Fatal11ty?
synapt1c11: Emily.. sweetheart. Keeps quiet. Fatall1ty, he'd do anything for Molly.
djlilia: But where are they?
synapt1c11: Beats me, really.
djlilia: What do you know about this 3/14/56/43/27////?
synapt1c11: Oh, boy.
djlilia: It was on Molly's site.
synapt1c11: I know.
djlilia: She keeps talking about it.
djlilia: Do you know what it means?
synapt1c11: I know 3, 14, and 27.
djlilia: What do you mean?
synapt1c11: I've seen the string before, but I understand very little.
djlilia: She says those numbers they're relevant.
djlilia: Do you think she knows the meaning of this?
synapt1c11: Knowing Molly, quite well.
djlilia: Tell me what you understand about it.
synapt1c11: March 14th's her birthday- 27 divided by 3 is nine, she'd repeat that a lot.
djlilia: What is recognition 7?
synapt1c11: Screename I chose, and a program we had.
djlilia: Do you know why she repeated that a lot?
synapt1c11: Nope.
djlilia: What was this program about?
synapt1c11: Tracking.
djlilia: Tracking what or who?
synapt1c11: Mostly Molly, but anyone who was.. wayward.
djlilia: Tracking Molly?
synapt1c11: Girl's a wildcard. There was a whole squadron of people to keep an eye on.
djlilia: Oh ok.
djlilia: So are you staying with Molly and Jez?
synapt1c11: I'm in San Diego.
synapt1c11: Driving out on the way to Queens to pick her up, however. Jez, that's a story and a half.
synapt1c11: I got to get going/
synapt1c11 signed off at 5:47:40 PM.

Maybe you guys can make a list of questions you have for the character because sometimes I don't know what to say...

I have loads of questions...frankly, I don't know where to begin. Confused

First of all, the most important thing right now, those numbers...
We know what 3, 14 and 27 mean - although I don't get why 27 and 3 have to be there to make 9, whatever - and Molly told us that 43 days ago Nine was shot (you notice how that changes every day and therefor is very unstable for this combination? uh, let's not think about it...), so my question would be what is 56 supposed to be? Eight times Seven? Laughing
You know, everything is connected...

More questions:
What exactly is everyone's job?
If Molly says the truth, is Seven bad or doesn't he/she/it know the whole thing? If Molly lies, are Emily and Fatal1t11 in danger? Did Molly drive out there to find them, does Jez know and is she in danger?
How many "numbers" are working there (wherever and whatever it is)?
How many people share that AIM account? j/k Laughing
But seriously, why is Seven at Molly's account now? Are they together all the time? Did Seven take over? Molly once said, "He knows.", or something...
Is the number string complete or is something missing (because it looks that way)?
Sidenote: You can't really ask that, but why did we have to reverse the numbers, to what end? Still a mystery.
And why is everything about damn numbers?? Razz

latest entry

I don't know. I think I've had it. Sorry. Even more numbers? This is easy? No, it's not. I'll watch this for a while, but I'm not starting to think about those new numbers. Got plenty of math coming right at me from next week on. Rolling Eyes

PM question

Okay, I know that we are supposed to figure out these puzzles for ourselves. However, if the character already knows what it says, then why not just say it instead of trying to make a puzzle out of it?

It's one thing to make a puzzle and have the character react as though they have absolutely no idea what it says (hence the reason why they need our help in the first place). But to make the puzzle, which in this case is the same as all the other ones, and tell us that "this one is easy" is: 1) showing absolutely no talent in making any other type of puzzles and 2) takes away from the "believability" of the character.

Don't tell us that you know the answers, PM. Let us figure them out for you... that's why we are here.

hey, this is the PM. ItWasntMeISwear, you're actually kind of right. I started this thing on a whim, and I'm really not the best puzzlemaker. I'm just posting to say I'm discontinuing this ARG, seventh grade is (yes, I'm 13) is sucking up my free time. It's been fun Very Happy

I'd come here a lot and check out what you guys were thinking- guess you all met my brother Sean. I told him to sign that account off.. shows his listening skills.

I actually only slightly had an idea how I'd finally end the puzzle. But I will not tell.

A word of advice

Okay, I'm going to resist the temptation of yelling and screaming... instead I'm going to make the point that if anyone who currently goes to school wants to make an ARG... take this time to write it out, make the puzzles and then wait until school is finished before launching it.

This seems to be the trend (people not realizing how much time goes into creating and sustaining ARGs), which is why not a lot of people get involved with "News and Rumors" games. Now, that's not to say that a few good ones haven't panned out from this section, like "Rookery Tower" and a few others. However, the fact still remains that there have been a lot of games that have started and not finished due to the fact that people just don't seem to understand the hours needed to complete one.

Let this be another lesson to those who are planning on starting one for the fun of it... wait until you have the time to commit to it and nothing else.

I'm quite new to ARGs myself, but I saw something like that coming, I think... Rolling Eyes
I had a good time with the maps (no idea whether or not the "10 miles from 17" was your intention, jade, but it worked out pretty good as you can see on the map). Wink
