So at tis point Scyne and Keymaker are our only contacts... the blog stopped being updated, and the forum Jason started has gone dark. I guess it's down to finding the Chronokey.

Wish I knew whether this was a nice dark ARG about time travelling pirates, or something more light side about civil rights...

maybe it's about time traveling civil rights pirates who want to stop the assasination of MLK?
Or maybe it's about pre-pubescent radio pirates who really like math?

On that page thingy found... there's the message in the source (as by the usual method) reading...
"...they can keep the status quota"
Hmmmm

That's been on a few of the pages....seems like a misquote tho...or a clue. As I said before....Status quota?
EDIT: oh yeah....and if the keymaker has Jason....how is Jason supposed to visit the sleeping twins? or are we supopsed to forget about that.

The keys will work once we have the doors to put them in.
I guess right now all we can do is sit and twiddle our thumbs.

Ok, just had a chat with Scyne, it's a total mess. I really need to read back in the forum, sorry about me being an idiot . But just to calrify, the Keymaker did say we could have these papers, didn't he?
(I had to pull these from my MSN history, because I accidently closed the window, red=Scyne)
Quote:
Scyne! Where'd you go off to? You missed your own radio show
THings have been weird........ very weird.......
what do you mean?
I could have sworn that Jason lost something......
lost what?
I dont know... but he just keeps raving about the papers they have....
Oh! The papers
we heard about them
the keymaster told us about them
he has them, and he said we could have them if we contacted him
WHat?
Jason has them......
er...maybe I made a mistake
He has never let them out of his sight after they found them on their last dive.....
let me check
Trent has some i think......
but they have been clinging to them like glue
What are the papers?
what is on them?
Something about a pirate and a journey to do something.....
why are they so signifiant?
Beats me.....
where did they get them?
On a dive 1n the gulf
Did they show the papers to you?
Nah.... Trent seemed pissed that Jason told me about them...
Maybe it's sort of a treasure map
and they're getting greedy
Wild speculation, of course
The Keymaker did promise us papers
he said so in his recording

Yup, I remember Keymaker promising to make papers appear...and in the recording that we'd get our own hi-def copies when we e-mailed the key to him...
Oh! Did Scyne mention at all about what was so weird lately? (aside from the usual strangeness)

Okay, I'm just going over the websites again, to check if we've missed anything...I've found that on the Lux/JimSanborn page that if you choose to just 'view image' then the URL at the top lists the picture as Lux2.jpg ...if you change the 2 to a 1 you get another picture. Not sure if there's a clue in it but here's a direct link .
**This may have been mentioned...but I don't imediately recall it being**

Scyne said:

Justin said:

Scyne said:

Justin said:
Very little, just these papers
Justin said:
the Keymaster promised us high def copies of "the papers" so now we find out that Trent and Jason have them, weird....
Scyne says:
I dont know how he would have them
Justin says:
He mentioned it all in a recording, saying how they "wern't archeologists, they're just treasure divers"
Scyne says:
They have had the papers ever since they found them on their last dive
Scyne says:
Yeah.... Jason says that "arch" crap
Justin says:
ah, I see
Justin says:
so the Keymaker must know something about them
Scyne says:
Heh "Picks Up Chicks.."
Justin says:
heh
Justin says:
would you like to hear this recording?
Scyne says:
nah
Scyne says:
Hey I got to go but......
Justin says:
but?
Scyne says:
this ARG stuff is interesting.... you know the website keymaker showed us where you and your friends are.......
Justin says:
yes?
Scyne says:
it's crazy....
Justin says:
Yes, I'm a member ther
Scyne says:
I wish this was just a game
Justin says:
to the keymaster it is
Scyne says:
Just like Ilovebees or something
Scyne says:
yeah...... we are people... not pawns.....
Scyne says:
thanks for your help
Justin says:

Justin says:

Well I'm confused now. One of the unwritten rules of an ARG is that in-game characters make no reference to the game they are in... they don't know it's a game and certainly they don't acknowledge this site.
But here we have Scyne acknowledging the site and playing his part like he is Out of Game. That would be fine, except that Jason (who is clearly an in-game only character) involved Keith (AKA Scyne) in an In-Game action: make copies of the papers.
So then, either Scyne and Jason are In-Game or Out-of-Game...can't have one be in game and the other out, because Scyne claims to know Jason.
I will assume that Scyne is in-game and he just made a mistake. But please stop it because the ARG may implode.
To the PM's, throw us a bone here!
