well, I added the doctor with the message that you recommended I talk to him about witches AngBa...just wanted to give you a heads up, and we'll see what I get.

Hopefully it won't be neccesary for him to drive too far. I work near the medical center and hang out in/near the montrose almost every night of the week. I'll message the guy tomorrow while we're at work or whenever he next gets online.

Hung around for a bit to see if I could catch him on IM, but had an early start this morning...

Someone remind him that he's a scientist, and that he ought to hit up some colleagues in the anthroplogy dept, before he starts going feral on us! Smile

You could also let him know that he's in a 77 zip code - that's one less seven than the number of God, but pretty damn close (on second thoughts don't, it'll propel his paranoia to new heights...)

The email seems to have stopped coming through at the moment. The last I heard from him was that he was tired and would give my questions some thought, so I might search him out on IM for some idle chat.

I've been experimenting more with the postcards he sent. The last Greek quote made me think there must be something in the geometry - Da Vinci, Durer (both fascinated by geometry), and now this quote about somebody walking the line between two books.

So I now know more about Phi (and phi) than I did when I was at school, but I'm still flailing around trying to find something that isn't just a suggestion, something that doesn't just send me off on more speculative journeys (for instance... what was that thing about stopping off in Indianapolis all about? Laurel Hall is run with an endowment fund from Phi Kappa Psi... Phi! The number that defines the length of the arms of the pentacle! Phi! The Golden number! AV! Au! Its the fraternities godammit!)

Anyone with time on their hands might want to give it a go and perhaps we can brute force it. Or perhaps there isn't anything more than something allegorical there. Really not sure...

BTW, I also thought that the Greek comment (on the envelope) could be a warning to Jochen to "get off the fence". He was brought up as a Christian (probably Catholic), and this interest in occult power has plainly been dormant in him for a long time, but he took the road that led him to science.

This would imply that AV has known him for a long time and has been trying to push him into becoming one or the other.

We need to know more about his friends in France and who the family was that looked after him when his father died.

I know where he is!

Okay, I haven't been following this thread that much (haven't been logging in to the boards much at all lately), but I just watched the "I Feel Safe Now' video, and I KNOW where that is. You have no idea how hard my heart was pumping when I recognized it. I did a search in the thread to see if anyone else had noticed he was in Houston. Fortunately, you did. You see, I know the apartment complex he was entering in that video. My company does internet service there and I've been there multiple times.

Oh, also, I happen to know the owner of the Magick Cauldron personally. Let me know if you need any of this info

EDIT: Is there a chat room for this game yet?

LOL! That'll really trip his paranoia meter! I wouldn't let him know that (not yet anyway) if you have any conversation with him.

I don't think there's a chat room yet. Might be useful, but being asleep when most here are awake, I haven't really explored that side of things much yet.

Well, we could always make a room for it on the chat-sol IRC server. I'm thinking #av

EDIT: Setup now, for anyone that wants to join

There is another thread called "Does this Warrant a Look". I had see these videos and was watching them to see what developed. Could this guy be AV?? His live journal has a picture of texas. the caption is "Be prepared." His you tube account has the caption. "You can't run away from what you did. I'll follow you until you confess."..... so could these be related????.... I just thought I'd throw this out there.

I am actually BUSY at work today so I haven't had time to look - I think that it'll have to wait until this evening... Just from the descriptions though, it very well could be...

Wabonan, i'm so glad you said that, when I first saw the livejournal, i had that thought too, but then i thought "Nah....LG15 is in cali, this is in Houston" but it would be hellacool if that livejournal has some connection......

another reason why i felt they were connected? I couldn't watch the videos on etchings account, just like i couldn't watch the Dr's videos. so far, those are the only two profiles i haven't been able to watch.

cue twilight zone music.......now.

Got a reply from the Doc! He seems a bit tetchy about all the people telling him they know where he lives ...

Quote:
$redacted,

As a bioinformaticist I am sure you understand computers more than me. I am ok with basic operations but people yell at me "Make a blog!! Make a web page! Make message areas!!!" like I am a computer expert. It is very tiring. Yes I could learn but it is not my interest.

Many people ask me for my details and are trying to find me. I do not believe it is my work that makes AV angry and I am worried that too many people will talk about me and AV will find me again. I mean no disrespect but I must not talk about my work for many reasons. It is concerned with Human evolution but as for the details I am prohibited.

Perhaps I will talk to you on Yahoo and you can tell me more about security I think that would be good.

Thank you!

So, okay, he doesn't want to talk about biology -- fair enough, I'll tell him a little about the work I've done to see what I can lure out of him.

Fair enough. I watched the three warning videos that you posted on YouTube, and given that several scenes appeared to depict human dissection -- which was considered an affront against God during medieval times -- I thought perhaps AV might have some sort of ethical
objection to your work. But that's just a guess.

No offence taken whatsoever. Early in my career I had a very unpleasant dispute with a professor who attempted to make off with some of my research and present it as his own, so I am all too familiar with the need for privacy in scientific work.

For what it's worth, in the past I have worked on software for primer generation for PCR and for site-directed mutagenesis. These days, I'm developing database software that helps biologists conduct data-mining experiments on gene sequences (human and otherwise).

I'd be happy to. The banana also said that you were looking for information about white witches; I might be able to help on that front as well.

I have to go out for an hour or so this afternoon to drop a friend off at the airport, but I will be around in the late afternoon/early evening California time.

Cheers,

(My sister goes to school about an hour away from Houston, and is Wiccan, so hopefully I can bring that up in a way that won't make him feel all twitchy about people hunting him down.)

Well, I chatted a bit with our good Doctor. Most of it is probably not worthwhile (I was supposed to chat with him about witches and the Vatican...I know...but he logged on while I was studying for an archeology test, so what can I say? My brain was thinking about core samples and stuff!)

I tried here really to just gain his trust and play it "stupid" a little bit to see if he would tell me anything of interest offhand. I didn't bother him with the whole location bit (someone mentioned we should tone down his paranoia, so I tried) I must say that I think I stumped him a little...because the places I double-post are places where he did start to type something, then stopped, and did not continue until I answered. (oh, and the few typos were because I had my book in my lap, sorry)

Offhand, his cat seems to be seeing things and being rather unhappy with the television (I'm thinking "The Ring"...hehehe, kidding). He even asked me a bit about spirits. I tried, as mentioned, to keep him in the realm of scientific logic, but I do think he's far too interested in the occult now to go back. Overall, I think he would definitely like to chat again about witches, I'm looking forward to it!

So AngBa, you're no longer alone ^_^ Looks like he sees you as our fearless leader, eh?

He asked me that last night Laughing I told him that we don't have leaders, we learn from each other (or something like that)...


He said one of his cat's eyes are different - and that the cat stares at a specific wall... UGH! A couple of hours and I'll be able to look at some stuff!

I was thinking that maybe we should ask the dr. if he is the man in the videos? he should probably know if AV is on to him. Although i don't think that is related.

The videos show a caucasian male with dark hair who could be about the dr.'s age. The park where the drop was made (or, not made) was in the bay area of texas.
