Not over yet

Ok, it's not over yet. Angelo just logged on. I convo'd him:


Quote:

Rance says:

angelobeckettSPLATgooglemail.com (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
well of course im alive
Rance says:
we'd heard you were shot by a sniper
Rance says:
that was our most recent part of 'your life' lucian gave us.
angelobeckettSPLATgooglemail.com (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
oh my god, nope not me
Rance says:
well, that's good
Rance says:
you may want to lay low
Rance says:
I can't talk for long though.
Rance says:
we'd heard 'Today, at 2pm, Barry Angelo Bassett was killed by a sniper'
angelobeckettSPLATgooglemail.com (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
ok then
Rance says:
maybe that's not you
angelobeckettSPLATgooglemail.com (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:

Rance says:
where were you at 2pm?
angelobeckettSPLATgooglemail.com (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:
in a cafe
Rance says:
kk
Rance says:
well good to know you're ok and alive
Rance says:
if you learn anything new, let us know.
angelobeckettSPLATgooglemail.com (E-mail Address Not Verified) says:

Rance says:
I'll post our convo on the forums

Here's a theory I thought up:

Could it be possible that the sniper could have been the 'angelobeckett' we've been talking to all along? He might have killed the real angelobeckett, and gotten paid 20,000 for it, and just be using the dead man's e-mail address. But if this was true, why is Lucien in the middle of all of it, and why would the sniper have amnesia?

Just a little something a bored mind thought up. Rolling Eyes

Edit: Oh, btw, could the initials B.A.B on the paper be....Barry Angelo Beckett?!

Edit 2: I just had a convo with our 'angelobeckett' and all he had to say about the matter is. "Probably, I wouldn't be surprised." then he said he had to go.

hey everyone! -- this looks interesting...(please don't die like every other game i've jumped onto in the last 6 months) i've been lurking a bit and i'm wondering if in fact the real a.b. was killed by the sniper and this person we are dealing with just thinks they are a.b. -- i'm going to go back and reread this thread again -- a.b. knows nothing but his name -- right? -- why is he so sure that that is his name.

exactly -- i don't think this puppy is dying at all!!
a.b. (or whoever is using a.b.'s email account) is still communicating with us -- someone is dead (but not the game) -- the sniper victim could be the real a.b. and our email friend still needs to be identified or could be that the sniper thinks they killed a.b. but they are mistaken.... if anyone speaks with a.b. perhaps we should advise him to be careful and lay low --

anyone else working on the idea that the puzzle answers might come together to give us something too? we've got "her majesty's theatre" "sears tower" and "winston churchill"...

This is an interesting turn of events. While it's strange that Angelo or whoever he is isn't expressing much over IM, don't forget he has amnesia, so I'm not sure what we should expect him to say. I also think that it's possible that Lucian mentioned Barry's assassination not to throw us off, but to clue us into the fact that the man we're IMing isn't Barry Angelo Beckett. Either way, it wouldn't make sense that our man is the sniper: if he had amnesia for the past couple of days, how would he remember to do that today at 2pm? And he didn't say he had a gun, only the 20,000 pounds and a peice of paper.

My theory(ies): Our man wasn't the sniper, but perhaps an assistant. That would explain the money and the lack of a gun. Perhaps our man worked for Lucian as an informant. The other theory I have is that Beckett was the one who gave our man the bag with the money. Maybe Beckett knew he was being hunted, and our man was either going to try to prevent the assassination, or Beckett was given the money to try and find the hunter. Perhaps Lucian is the one who ordered the assassination...

That's just speculation, though. I'd hate to see this die so quickly.

EDIT: The more I think about it, the more I really think that Beckett was the one who gave our man the bag. It would make sense: he fills the bag with money, jots down his own email address and password, and the email of the person who he contacted, and B.A.B., maybe as his signature.

It's possible that either A. Angelo was running from the law, so he handed his stuff off to our friend, then was killed by police or other criminals later one (bank robbery? We should ask Angelo to check the news paper and obituaries next time we talk to him) or B. Angelo was running from criminals, and they got him later on

I'd vote for this one. Or somebody(lucian) is playing with peoples lives and just got our Angelo a new identity. Anything is still possible.

Perhaps it is more propable that Angelo got the moneybag from the Real Angelo..

Btw, He had a headache when he woke up, but no bruises as i understand.. So the amnesia is most propably due to being drugged(?)
-That would mean his amnesia is well planned thing.
Edit: and he had no personal possessions either.

Sniper 3
Don't miss the latest of the highly successful "Sniper" series starring Golden GlobeŽ winner Tom Berenger as expert marksman for hire Sgt. Thomas Beckett. After stewing in training camp, Beckett is called back into the field by the National Security Agency. His mission: to take out rogue American agent Paul Finnegan, now the leader of Southeast Asia's biggest illegal weapons cartel. An American government fiasco is in urgent need of a cover up, and Finnegan must be eliminated before the Vietnamese government suspects anything. Beckett accepts it, but one fact he can't deny is that Finnegan is the same man who saved his life during the Vietnam War. When the assassination attempt takes an unexpected turn, Beckett finds himself immediately disowned and turned against by the Americans, and pursued by the Vietnamese once again. Beckett must now clear his name and get back at those who betrayed him.
Actor(s): Tom Berenger, Byron Mann, John Doman

It has a sniper and somebody called Beckett, and it was aired yesterday.. (wron time though, so it's at least a different cinema.)
Edit: Fixed the quote, and i thought it only said beckett, but seems like this one was called Thomas..:/ Dunno.

More Googling...

Google Barry A. Beckett Third site from the bottom (eight rom the top)... 'A letter from the president'.
Google introduces the page with a
