There is a banker with a last name of "Bird". In Jones update.

I believe that "bird" is just period slang for a person. (Of course, that didn't stop me from trying "Bird Harris" and variants. Mr. Green )

from update for Richardson, we read:

Quote:
Colton White's gun—that's what the old Texan had told him when he sold it to him years ago. Back then, it had seemed like everything that wasn't Brooklyn—a gun that carried the wide spaces of the West chambered in its cylinder....


Colton White is the main character in GUN... from the GUN website:

Quote:
Set in the untamed West of the late-1800s
GUN is a free-roaming action-adventure game that takes you to a world without laws, where greed, lust and murder are rampant. As Colton White, a vengeful gunslinger, you must straddle the line between good and evil in a showdown against corrupt lawmen, a murderous preacher, renegade army psychopaths, merciless outlaws and relentless warring tribes....

storyline sound familiar? Wink

and this is the first explicit tie-in to the product is it not?

cheers.

http://www.crimelibrary.com/gangsters_outlaws/mob_bosses/capone/hart_10.html


from Wiki:
"Vincenzo Capone (1892–October 1, 1952). Called James Vincenzo Capone upon entering the United States. He left the family in 1908 to join a circus operating in the Midwest. Served as a lieutenant in the U.S. Army during World War I. Apparently changed his name to Richard Joseph Hart shortly after his discharge. He had a career as a law enforcement officer, served in the Federal Bureau of Indian Affairs and later became Marshal in Homer, Nebraska."

so that's how he met Whitecloud

Actually, from this, we learn that he's giving the Gun to his son - who is the one who gave it to Whitecloud.

 		So, why is the Alibi called both Laura and Louise?

Quote:
"Laura Rolfe? I brought this for you," Pete said, holding out a little red box with ribbons around it. "It's a present."


And while I'm at it, what does Armageddon give him at the end that's "almost as good as if Louise had shown up. Okay, it really wasn't, but it was something."

Money?

Damn, I loved this update day. Read through everything, connecting the dots, without the pressure of getting a card and never getting one, anyway. And I love the videos.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

First I thought Spider shot Lucy! I was shocked! I thought, "wow, I didn't expect THAT!".
But then I thought some more and it didn't make sense. Laughing

 		I dont' think Armageddon *gave* him anything physical. The text says:

Quote:
Pete shook Armageddon's hand and headed to his platform. Looking back, he saw Jones assessing the crowd in front of the station. Jones got his Bible out of his case and while Pete watched, found a spot where he could put his case and his hat.

"Have you heard the WORD of the LORD? It is all AROUND you!"


and THEN Pete says it was almost as good as having Louise show up.

I think it's the fact that Armageddon, who obviously was NOT a preacher (Bureau agent actually) was able to play that role well enough to convince Pete. Once Pete understood what Armageddon really was, seeing him go back to play that preacher role again as Pete was hopping on the train was the bit that was "almost as good." A conclusion to his story, you might say, and that, indeed, is satisfying.

But that's my opinion Razz

Hence my spec that next time warp will be to WWI and how "Richardson" got the gun.
