Question for anyone out there...

I'm not taking any sides here right now...

Honest.

But I don't understand how Foo can say "info should be shared" but he's keeping his info under locks...

Perhaps there's a way that say, Foo would allow "read-only access" to the backdoor to Brackin?

So that way, he's not able to do anything but intercept information? He can't use it to get rid of Foo's connection or whatever?

I guess my point is that I don't believe Foo is against Brackin. I think he's mostly hurt about being fired when he was really just locked in a server room overnight, and that he's scared of what he's learned and doesn't know who to trust.

But I think we should still endeavor to hook these two up again.

Whaddya think?

QFT

This whole thing feels like high school drama to me, however I stuck with Foo hoping to get more information and to help change everything. Now it seems he won't give anything up.

Well, the problem is this is information from the future. So we are constantly 'writting' on it. I mean, what President Fujimoto said is that the world will be perfect as long as Foo is the one who holds all this information. By giving access to Brackit the future could be rewritten and the information would lost its value.


Quote:
You of course, can choose not to share information with someone, but really, the games are played with information to be shared.

But the sentence "try not to betray that side and don't ask others to betray their side IG" is not right. People can play however they want.


You are right. I was so worried about clarifying things that I did not realize I was telling other people how to play. IG you can play in any way you want, and if you get information IG, then is yours to give to anyone (but it's a well known fact that betraying the Foo side is bad mojo, while betraying Brackin makes you look cool Razz jk)

Oh, and I just wanted to say that at least I am not keeping any information to myself OOG. Everything I've gotten I've shown.

...

Everything that's being said here is confusing me.

Who are the gatekeepers? I want to join Foo, and I got an email telling me to ask the "gatekeepers" to let me in. But Jose (Arkaham) said he had no idea if he was a gatekeeper (Last night in IRC), so..

...

What is going on? o_O;

The Gatekeepers = Jose, Edward, David, Shaze and Montreal.


EDIT: One of the names there is -or will become- a traitor Shifty Eyes

ed - removed spoiler tag as this is valuable information.

In response to that:
Yesterday I didn't know. Then I got a mail from our comrade Montreal saying I am. So I'm not messing with you or anything, you just asked at the wrong moment

Welcome to the wonderful world of ARG, where half of the time you don't know what's going on, and the other half you're trying to figure it out.

Ah, fair enough.

Then I need to find an IC way to contact one of you.

Well, since I'm supposed to be a friend of David's...

Erm...

I just spot an inconsistency. o-o;

They received "half a terrabyte" of information from the future, but Fujimoto talks about the "600 MB of garbage". That's only half a gigabyte o_O;

Unless maybe MB mean something different in Deus City... Razz

montreal

ok guys and girls.

After reading the Moderator interventions in these DC threads and reading SpaceBass' essay on the topic, I will post some info (against my better judgment) on how to open up contact with the gatekeepers.

All the names are listed a few posts above this one, you may contact anyone of these names with the passphrase and we will take it from there.

The Passphrase:
In order to get the passphrase you need ot get Foo to give it to you...by earning his trust.

You'll know trust is earned when he replies with a few words saying something to the effect of 'I have decided to trust you blablabla''

The passphrase is included in these messages and so far, It's always been written in caps. Easy enough to see. Smile

Finally if you cannot manage to find any of the gatekeepers, well just look at the location listed next to my name on the left there...

You see it?

Good!

Now click on Profile and see if there is any info there.





For the record,

It seems really odd to spill out info like this since trust/betrayal seem to be important themes so far in DC, but this is how this community works and I will abide by the rules. I'm in your house after all fellow Ufers.

I wouldn't worry to much about posting, most of us on UF are well enough asstablished ARG'ers to respect the game and keep neebies from crossing the lines. Plus sooner or later someone will get or give the need info to the Attacken Brackens anyway. I think us finding out your info (the legit way) is the only way the game will progress on ourside.

Mendez he sill hasn't let you in??? He wrote me an e-mail and I told him you were cool. but that was before the passphrase. Also Foo doesn't want the Foofighters to spy on Brackin... I had a good chance to do just that but he said we were above that. Oh yea one other thing how do we let someone in??.. do we just send Foo a confermation or do we do something else??

Let me clarify:

The only hard and fast rules for using UF are found in the terms of service. No one's trying to throw a rulebook at you to force you to share information you don't want to share.

I think what most of us are just trying to say is:

1) We're also not going to stop anyone from sharing anything they want to share.

2) UF is out-of-game, so PM-made rules about what info you're allowed to share don't apply here.

3) We're not enamored of any game design that requires players to mistrust one another/keep secrets from each other.

Quote:
It is not yet safe for me to come from my hiding place though. You are one of the secret-keepers - I have enlisted some others to protect you five. Especially MONTREAL.

I'm very suspicious also of Fujimoto motives. And I want to know why Foo trusts Fujimoto so easily. Foo said:

Fujimoto knows the power of calling things by certain names. I realized he said something I had never told anyone before.


This is only one of a few things that make me think that Fujimoto is Foo, maybe Foo will reveal the truth.

So i sent Foo this:

Quote:
What that fujimoto said had you never told anyone before? And how would he know? I know we must seek the truth, but are you certain we can trust Fujimoto?


I posted this in the main DC forum, and I just recieved this from Foo:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
HAHAHAHA! I am absolutely certain that Fujimoto can be trusted IMPLICITLY! I trust him as I trust myself.
