Question On How We Are Getting Our Clues @ Noah Boddy

This is probably a bit of a dumb question but it kinda bugs me & I'm hoping one of you smart peoples can answer it Smile

Under user name we have both "ourfather" and "noah boddy" (both of which are login names at live journal) - & both of whom are giving us clues to find "noah boddy"... so can someone explain why noah boddy would be giving us clues to find him or herself (LA, optometrist, queens one plus one more clue yet to come) when the journal indicates that "ourfather" is looking for noah boddy to kill him (and the LA clue came from ourfather didn't it?) .... The question: why would noah boddy provide us clues for "ourfather" (& us) to find him.... something doesn't "sit" right about the way we are getting the clues... and it may be just because I am not good with web site stuff/codes etc... but can someone explain why we are getting clues from two separate sources (noah boddy & our father)? This did not happen with Push - our online clues came from Enoch, so can someone help with this question? Please- & thanks ahead of time....

In a way, this did happen with Push. Many of us were using press releases and future program listings at ABCmedianet in order to get Epsiode titles, which were in fact clues.

My spec here is that the NoahBoddy Livejournal is being used in the same way. An 'official' out-of-character reference. And then on the other hand we have OurFather's LJ, which is in-game like Enoch.

This from the rules posted at

http://www.cyberthea.com/noahboddy/rules.html


Hints and Number Clues may take any form (visual, spoken words, music, commercials, web-searches, banner ads, etc.) and may appear in any format (and at any time-frame) within the noahboddy.com websites and any officially linked website. Contestants may be required to identify and crack codes, riddles or other puzzles in order to identify Hints and/or solve Number Clues
and/or the Final Solutions. A Hint may require reference to material outside the Internet in order to solve the Number Clue related to it. A minimum of one Hint per week will be placed within the official sites or their official links. Producer reserves the right to vary the number of Hints and/or Number Clues per week.

Does that help?

Other users at live journal

That being said;

Here's something interesting at the livejournal site;
each clue color is a user name there.

I'd venture to say that, since those are really common names, they're not in-game. Especially since some of them are... well, not in-game.

And as for more than one online source? All the better... this is much more like an ARG than Push was, IMO.

thanks for trying to help clear this up Very Happy
Actually Noah Boddy answered it very well along with the yahoo groups questions about thea.
In answer to the two journals we were told this by NB:
1.

Re: the two LiveJournals.
* The NoahBoddy live journal is an informational journal to help
you, the contestant. As people have noted, that is where clues have
shown up. The site is in game in the sense that it will help you,
the contestants, to follow when the weeks turn over, gain extra clues
for the week's answer, etc. Consider that journal to actually be run
by Team Noah Boddy for the game and that should clear up that
confusion. The ourfather journal is, obviously, in game.

So that helped resolve any issue. I will delete my question in a few days so that space can be clear for more valuable questions here - unless you would rather keep. in which case let me know. Again thanks for all your help!

never.delete.anything

Amend. Annotate. Archive. Rehash. Review. Refactor. All of these are good, but never delete.

The gaming landscape is mutable enough as it is, without players self-censoring.

Agreed!

All posts are valuable to the community as a whole. Deleting a post is potentially removing a solution someone else could be looking for.

Very Happy

Although..... I suppose there are instances where it would be a blessing if the author would take it upon himself to remove his posts. (or not post at all Wink )

I don't know, I regularly employ the task of removing my posts, especially when I realize I asked a stupid question. It's one of the things I love about this phpbb platform.
