I am pretty certain that eldoradowatcher is IG. Only he and Brother Theo have black Karma status. Although this email did not reveal any pertinent info I will post it here for you to read.

Hi Ethan

I was wondering how you managed to get black karma. I know this is hardly of paramount importance to the struggle for freedom, but it looks cool none the less Smile

Best Regards

James

I would have the disagree; I believe these "karmic" indicators are
showing information of paramount importance.

As for my own standing, I must admit that I don't fully understand
the details of this color coding system. I know that when I first
entered the interface I was not of black karma. Exactly how I changed
I cannot tell you, but I believe that the system is reacting to a
multitude of inputs and actions. Fight boldly for what you believe the
future should hold, and I am confident that your color will represent
you accurately.

Oh, and Foo's karma is white.

This guy signed with an underscore before his name. Foo does that a lot on his mails. Not sure if it means something, I've actually began to sing the same way on my mails to DC characters, but I thought I may point that out.


And I'm number two in the top agents list! Cool

Hey guys, new poster here...

been interested in ARGs since i heard about iLoveBees way back when, and have finally decided to get into it...

so here goes...

just wanted to point out, on the karma issue...

of course we all know the obvious relation between red and green. Red means stop, bad, etc. Hell is shown as a mass of red caves covered in flame. On the other hand, green means go, good, etc. green is an all around peaceful, content color. these colors have been attributed to the colors of our individual auras by psychics, and correspond as such (red=anger,hate,rage, green=happiness,contentment,peacefulness)

However, there are still two colors left. Black and White. Christianity shows black and white as, respectfully, bad and good. but we're not talking about holiness... we're talking about karma. Most eastern religions that incorporate karma also find the yin yang to be a holy symbol. And with the yin yang, the roles can be reversed. although both yin and yang can be seen as the other from different perspectives, the black (yin) can be seen as the strong, the masculine, the levelheaded, while the white (yang) can be seen as the weak, the feminine, the misguided. (although i am buddhist, the terms masculine and feminine are not meant as a slight against a gender. they were used in a time that was different from today, a time where this type of belief was ok. in no way do i mean to say that women are weak and misguided.)

so, in case anyone out there thought black meant bad, and white meant good, remember that the rules of karma can be reversed.

also, the yin yang has many depictions. however, there is always a small part of the one in the other. I believe this may be a harbinger of things to come, as we have already seen betrayal in this experience (foo's betrayal). Be on the lookout. we have two black karmas so far. while i don't think Theo will be the one, as he is the first, eldoradowatcher is a possibility.

Also, on a less related topic, i have only a shaky understanding of how to really go about this whole thing. If anyone would like to start up a correspondance/generally help me, i would be deeply grateful

my email is morelaakSPLATemail.uc.edu

namaste,
Morelaak

Hey morelaak, welcome to the forums!

You're approaching the game from the right angle--try to figure out what's going on, and use everything from your past experiences, intuition, and search engine skills to do so. If you have any questions, feel free to post, drop by at the IRC channel at #deuscity, email me (you should have my contact information from the email I sent), or charter a skywriter to get the word out.

Thanks for the welcome. Razz
just realized that i forgot something in my discussion of karma...

as there are two blacks, there must also be two whites. Foo is the only one so far... i wonder... will we see another sometime in the future? And who might it be?

Ok, we've had a change.

My karma just turned to Blue.

Nothing else changed.

...

from http://www.thesoulelement.com/aura_colors.htm...

Quote:
Blue

The lighter brighter shades of blue, as found in the throat chakra, generally reflect a good imagination, creativity and good intuition. It's a calming and peaceful color. It can indicate the ability for clairaudience. The deeper shades of blue can indicate loneliness. The muddier shades can indicate blocked perceptions, worrying, over sensitivity, fearfulness. Royal Shades of blue indicate honesty, truth and good judgment.


Something is going on here. This is also right after i got my second response from Chris. He told me to check my Karma, so...

Hm, I've suddenly appeared on Foos list of distrusted agents along with a couple others. Wonder what I did?

well there has been a change there is one blue karma and 2 grey karmas. The grays must be ingame. The one named bishop has 100 prestige. Now I can understand how Jose is a bit ahead of me on prestige. We were both gate keepers and we recieved more points way back. But bishop was not on the radar until today. and the other grey is slewth he has 57 prestige I don't remember seeing him before.

I noticed the other changes as well. I was just wondering what I did to appear on his list.

It would sure be nice for Bishop to be a little more accessible. He IS supposed to be our contact for the Grey District.



Hey! Check that out! I'm now a "Veteran" here! Cool!

I believe slewth has made a post or two in some of the forums on DeusCity.

slewth has made posts in the Sportsplex Construction site (white district) and Safe House Epsilon (grey district) so far as I can see. I've tried in both to get his attention and see if he'll contact me. I'll report if I get anything.

I think everyone is over-analyzingthe whole "color" thing. Where is Foo from? The White district! What is his karmic color? white! From his post, I gather that slewth is from the grey district, and his karmic color? grey!

Spare some change (01/19/07 at 04:16 AM) by slewth
Could anyone spare a few creds please?

The whisper club's actually quite pleasant when you have a pocket full of donations.

C'mon, spare some change...

And to that no-brain, who clearly isn't from these parts, have you got a problem with me being here?
This was from the sports complex.

The same goes for Bishop. As for Theo, he is part of the Brotherhood, right? That falls into 'none of the above' or on the map, black. It makes sense to me. As for the blue, I'm guessing there will be a new color out there and this will deal with Chris's group. He is a communicator and as such would be blue (going into auras and the means of colors) and since Morlaak has been in communications with him, is now this color. As for the red/green deal it could be what morlaak was saying, or this could be a case of "what colors oppose each other?" and red/green are the easiest on the eyes (would you really like to see blue/orange or purple/yellow?) That's really all i was right now.*shrugs* ::looks around:: Does anyone have change for my 2 cents? LOL

Interesting...

If you look at the leaderboard for "most trusted" agents, you'll see I'm up there with 8. But then if you look at the list of agents that trust me you'll see 7 people on there (including Foo and slewth, but neither of them seems to be a factor since they trust other people who are unaffected). I bug report'd this and got this email back:

Quote:
An interesting problem to say the least. It seems to only be affecting
some people (for instance Foo's is correct) ... this might be a bug in
the data coming from the future rather than in the interface.

On the contact puzzle we got indication that there are 5 districts, each its' own color:
The reporter was from the red district.
The farmer from the green.

From other parts of the website, grey is industrial and white is business.

I can't remember offhand what, if anything, was said about blue.
