 		In case the bit at the end is a clue, here is a transcription of *just* the Bacon quote:

Quote:

I would like to end our chat tonight with a quote from the famous renaissance author, courtier, and father of inductive reasoning Sir Francis Bacon: "There are and can be two ways of searching into and discovering truth. The one flies [click click] from the senses and particulars to the [break] most general axioms [*stuff missing, see link below] the way is now in fashion. The other derives axioms from the senses and particulars, rising by gradual and unbroken ascent, so that it arrives at the most general axioms last of all. This is the true way, but as yet untried." Thank you and good night Sammeeeees.


*For Bacon's full quote, see Aphorism 14 here.

 		Full Transcript (woah, I'm on a roll tonight Laughing ) in case the audio doesnt work for anyone;

Quote:
"Good evening. I am the man called Peeps. I would like to thank you Sammeeeees for taking the time out of your busy lives to help an ordinary man. As you know, in order to free the five and stop Spoocheeeee. We must first find the 5 pieces of the ancient Spoocheeeee sculpture. Our first step is to make contact with the White Rose 2. I understand that you're very close to making contact. The trail to the white rose is rarely/really easy, thankyou for your perseverance.

There are two topics I wish to discuss tonight. The first topic is our Sammeeeees/Spoocheeeee moles. It is very corageous of any Sammeeeee to step forward and risk all by attempting to misguide Mr Johnson. But you should know that if he senses you are a traitor to him, he will misguide you as well. And if you misinformation should embaress him, or cost him in any way, he will have the Spoocheeeee jackals bring you in for torture and execution.

The second topic I would like to discuss with you is about the safe-keeping of the ancient Spoocheeeee pieces. As we find each precious piece - and I do have faith that we will find them all - it is my opinion that we select one Sammeeeee to hold and protect the pieces. You may select the Sammeeeee in any manor that you wish, but do it soon. We should be prepared for the weeks ahead.

Please Sammeeeees, be careful as you step further into the land of Spoocheeeee. Nothing is as it seems, and very few have ever left Spoocheeeee alive.

I would like to end our chat tonight with a quote from the famous renaissance author, courtier, and father of inductive reasoning Sir Francis Bacon;
There are and can be only two ways of searching into and discovering truth. The one flies from the senses and particulars to the most general axioms, and the way is now in fashion. The other derives axioms from the senses and particulars, rising by a gradual and unbroken ascent, so that it arrives at the most general axioms last of all. This is the true way, but as yet untried.

Thankyou and goodnight, Sammeeeees."

 		Keeper of the pieces
I'm not happy about this instruction. Sad

In game spec: I think it would be far safer to keep the pieces apart - what is to stop someone from performing the ceremony and starting a new Spoocheeeee

Out of game spec: It's to make it easier for the PMs?

Probably have to do a poll or discuss in chat or something like that. Do we have a time frame for the decision? Again, I HATE this missive. Crying or Very sad

I think it is fairly obvious why one person is needed:

1. Since we have had a hard time getting to the meets. We need 1 person who can do the traveling, etc.. or (a small group that could work together as one)

2. According to the White Rose 3 confession. The artifact is the key to destroying Mr. Alan Johnson and therefore needs to be put back together.
This can be done only if one person has all 5 pieces.

WhiteRoseThree wrote:
Spoocheeeee's ability to control all is linked to an ancient sculpture. To protect their power forever, Spoocheeeee broke this ancient sculpture into five pieces and gave these pieces to Spoocheeeee Elders for safe keeping. We have a rare opportunity. The location of the pieces has become vulnerable. Three of the Elders have recently died and Mr. Alan Johnson has not been informed of their deaths yet. Find the Elders and collect the pieces, Sammeeeees, and you will destroy Mr. Alan Johnson and free "the five".

ETA:
I have to add my 2 cents:
It is possible that Peeps has ulteria motives for wanting this artifact found and restored. With it he would then have the power of the Spoocheeeees.

 		The Sammeeeee who is designated as the Keeper of the Pieces doesn't necessarily have to be the one that collects them all - different players can get the pieces, as long as they are willing to send them to the Keeper.

It would be easier to decide who it should be if we knew *where* the sculpture has to be recreated... if a *where* is even necessary.

I believe the decision as to who will be the Keeper will be easier once we figure out who WR2 is, and where they are located.

Edit - ok, guess I should have read the whole bloody thread first Very Happy OK, so now that we've found WR2, and WR2 seems to be a total Surfer D00d, we can possibly assume he is in Santa Monica as well, or somewhere on the SoCal coast - but just an assumption.

 		Peeps email
On a different subject - after the Gabcast where Peeps mentioned the dangers of being a mole, I emailed him with an explaination for my elusiveness in my last email to him:
Quote:

Good evening (morning?) Peeps,

Just got back from a movie and heard your Gabcast... how awesome it is to finally hear from you!

There is something that I wanted to clear up with you... I'm afraid you may have thought in my last email to you that I was purposefully being evasive with you regarding who I know to be a Sammeeeee mole, and who isn't. If this is the case, I want to apologize... but as you mentioned in your gabcast tonight, if the moles are caught horrible things will happen to my friends, and I couldn't live with knowing that something I might have said lead to their suffering.

This method of communication is HIGHLY insecure, but unfortunately my only means of communicating with you... and given that fact, anything I say here can be intercepted. Yes, I used this method to communicate our "fake" site, but I never gave the *real* site in this email, and for that very reason.

I hope you understand why I was evasive with you. It is not YOU I distrust, but the medium we must use to communicate. Please know that my allegiance is FULLY with the Sammeeeees, recovery of The Five (or Eight, as the case may be), and the downfall of Spoocheeeee.

Your faithful Sammeeeee,
Celina


Peeps emailed me back today:
Quote:

Hello Celina,

Thank you for your honesty. I understand your position. Please know that you do not have to apologize or explain yourself to me. I know you are forever a good and true Sammeeeee. I have received word again this morning that one or perhaps two of our "moles" still may not be as true as we had hoped. I do not yet have the name or names but should by the end of today. We must except the fact that these so-called Sammeeeees are aiding our enemy and figure out how we can still out smart Mr. Johnson and these new followers.

I look forward to any suggestions that you may have.
Peeps


So... Peeps himself is not sure which one of our many moles/double agents to trust. I don't blame him, I'm fairly confused myself anymore Very Happy

Thinking of suggestions to email him back with...

 		Ok just totally throwing my 0.02 out there, but if I were to choose a sammeeeee to hold the pieces, I would like to nominate kona.
I feel she would be a great candidate.

 		Speaking about the 5 pieces and who should hold them... here's my email to/from WR2 on the subject:

Me:
Quote:

Hi there white r 2,

My name is Celina and I'm a friend of Peeps, and other Sammeeeees you've recently met, Heather and GrumpyBoy. We are here to help Peeps, rescue The Five, and bring down Spoocheeeee!

I was wondering if you could help me with something... Peeps has asked us to pick one member of the Sammeeeees to hold the 5 pieces of the Ancient Statue, but we need more information in order to pick the right person for this task. Do you know: what will be done with the pieces when they've all be acquired? I'm assuming they need to be reassembled, but if so, does that need to be done at a particular place?

Any info you have on this very important task will be greatly appreciated!

Celina


WR2:
Quote:

Ceeeee-lina! Yeow! I am up and the fog is in and I am bummmmmin'! Yikes! Fo-oooog! It is wa-aaaay to early for me to think much about anything. Right? So, like - wait uno momento - I had to read your question again! Psyche! Right? Okay! Where am I? The five Spoocheeeee pieces! Yikes. Those freak me out. Spaz! I do not want to hold on to them. Wa-aaaay too much baggage for a cat like me! This is what I know about them - there are five of them - and you are so right! They do fit together kinda like this insane Spoocheeeee puzzle! Yeow! Right? But that is all I know. But I do know something else. I just have to remember what it is -- Let me crash for a little while and bam it will come to me! I am surfing my memory highway! Right? Nice.
Later
white r 2


So, no help on that front... yet. Maybe the "fog" will lift enough to get more info on the pieces and how they need to be assembled soon.

With the information given here, it looks like the PMs have made the decision for us. I only know one player who lives close to that location.

That's only one of 5 areas of power.....I'm not going to jump to any conclusions yet. Although the "mouse" part is a weird coincidence.

 		Betty's opinion of getting the pieces to one person

Hey Betty, did you listen to this?
http://www.gabcast.com/index.php?a=episodes&id=2892

What do you think about this comment: ...the safe-keeping of the
ancient Spoocheeeee pieces. As we find each precious piece - and I do
have faith that we will find them all - it is my opinion that we
select one Sammeeeee to hold and protect the pieces.

Any suggestions? This is a bone of contention amonst many of us -
we're worried about the potential power of all the pieces in one
place.

hi heather, hmmm. it could be very dangerous but i can see why peeps is asking. the pieces apart are no problem for spoocheeeee but together they have some kind of freaky friday power or something. this would give us (the sammeeeees) the power to stop spoocheeeee (even if its just as a bargaining tool) . let's say they are scattered and only one sammeeeee refuses to step forward when we need them, it could be disasterous. we could do an anonymous vote for "the keeper" and allow only peeps to know who that person is. peeps can be responsible for getting the pieces from whoever finds them to "the keeper". i don't think anyone else (other than peeps) should know who "the keeper" is. peeps wouldn't give up "the keeper" because his life depends on johnson not finding the pieces ever... but we can't be so sure about any other sammeeeees. let me say right now i do not want them! it would scare me.
