 		Okay I'm thoroughly confused now. I thought that Violetskull wasn't going to join the Gathering until we dealt with Ted, but the Gathering page has been updated and there's now a Chapter VII page: http://www.freewebs.com/13crystalskulls/chaptervii.htm

Random puzzle Answer

YES or NO, Violetskull was going to go anyway! Violetskull is very scared of you humans.

Once again the Chosen Few have moved forward in gathering the skulls together. But, The Lurking presence of a particular pest continues to annoy the skulls. This will be dealt with soon enough. For the Chosen, as well as the Chosen Few, carry on as you have been. The skulls will remove this threat to the prophecy.


So the skulls are going to deal with the 'pest'? I don't get it..

 		I know!
What's the point of having Ted if we aren't gonna "see" more of him?

Well last night I emailed Violetskull to tell him we were ready for him to join the gathering and I got a different response.
Quote:
And so it shall be, once WE stop this pest. His treachery can not be tolerated any longer.

I know it's basically saying the same thing, but I thought might as well.

After recieving that response I decided to ask him about Ted and what was his connection with them. I haven't recieved a reply yet, probably because he's joined the gathering, but I'll still keep an eye out for a reply.

 		It is possible that we here at Uf are not the only players & there may be a bit of a game-jack going on? One that we are not quite aware of?

 		I did get a reply but I don't know from who, it's probably the next skull.

Violetskull Is no longer available. Chosen Few don't consern yourself with the rantings of a crazy old man. Continue on with your destany. Forfill the Prophecy. We will handle Ted!


What I found interesting is that they tried to do a picture of a skull:

I disagree. I think there would've been at least a few comments (or references in the posts) from other unknown parties if there was another group of players.

If you're referring to Ted... There are two possibilities.

1. There is no game-jack. This is part of the game.

or

2. The PMs are handling this game-jack very well--as though it were in-game.

Keep in mind that there is only one time when we have had direct contact with Ted. Every other time has been through the blogs of the Chosen. In other words, if Ted were not part of the game, the PMs would not have their characters continue to reference him.

However, if you're referring to something else, I'm sorry for veering off-topic. Smile

I got an email from Amanda after I let her know about our progress. Her response isn't important storywise... Other than that she'll be very upset if the Bears lose tonight.

I hope it goes well for me also. GO BEARS!!!

Thank you very much for the update. I have been a little lonely these past few days, so it was very nice to open my e-mail box and see that you had written to me.

Anyway, take care of yourself. I hope to talk to you again soon, just not about some strange voices in my head (keeping my fingers crossed).


Hugs and Kisses;

Amanda

Just wanted to update you on the latest happenings w/ the skulls. Violetskull (http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=violetskull) posted a puzzle, and the solve was that her greatest fear was humans.

As always, contact us if you hear anything odd. Too bad about the creepy guy--he contacted Aden, too. Anyways, hope you're doing well. Hope the Superbowl goes as you wish. Smile

Speculating, maybe the method used to "deal" with Ted will make the chosen start to distrust the skulls?

There's also a new post by Amanda about the Superbowl:
Quote:
I have been trying to figure out how to express my disappointment about the Bears Super**** loss last night to the Colts, but I have come up empty. The defense didn't play very well, "Gross"man played horribly (as was to be expected) and the Colts did an excellent job of keeping the ball away from Hester after he ran the opening kick-off in for a touchdown. In short, the 3 things that we needed to happen in order to win the game (good defense, special teams getting some results and "Gross"man playing well) didn't. So, we lost.

I expected more from my team and didn't get what I was hoping for. Such is life, I suppose.

My main problem is with Lovie Smith, and how he has handled the whole "'Gross'man in the quarterback position' situation. When asked awhile back if Lovie was going to keep "Gross"man in as quarterback, Lovie responded that they were winning with him in there, so why take him out? Well, Lovie, as much as I respect you, we were not winning with "Gross"man in as the quarterback. We were winning with our defense, special teams and our running game. We could have had Forest Gump in as quarterback and still done as well (in fact, some would argue that we did have Forest Gump as a quarterback. And I am not one to argue with them).

I understand that Lovie was trying to do the "honorable" thing by sticking with his man. But you are the coach of an NFL team, you don't get paid to do what is "honorable", you get paid to make decisions that will help the team win. And sometimes doing what will help the team win may include doing something that is not so "honorable".

So, as you can probably tell, I am a little ticked right now so I'm going to do what any well-respected woman would do when she is emotional - I'm going shopping.

The end of the fourth paragraph sticks out to me. Does this mean that we might need to compromise our honor in order to help the skulls "win," or am I looking too much into this?

 		So I just received this email via YouTube:

From "DetNella"

It won't take long for the skulls to find out I contacted you. So I have to make this quick. I shouldn't be contacting you, I am putting your life in danger. But, it is very important that you be careful how you transmit any information I give you. No, emails on open posts and don't use my real name, it will set off red flags and they will shut me down again. I am running out of options and I fear my life is in grave danger. The skulls have access to anything and everything attached to the internet. This is why I believe I was locked up in Ybor and nearly killed twice. We must tell the others!


So, I guess this is Ted. Dramatic fellow, isn't he?

EDIT: changed 'on Ybor' to 'in Ybor'. I mistyped.

 		I got the same message. Guys... We need to seriously consider how we are going to react. Should we send this out to the Chosen? If so, how? It's hard to say if Ted is friend or foe, so... I don't know what to do. However, we should hold a chat to discuss this as a group sometime soon.

 		Well how about this... We talk to all the chosen & we all agree that we do NOT bring another skull intop the gathering without getting some questions answered first - like exactly WHAT are they gathering for

 		Are you sure we should bring the chosen into this? I mean they've been spooked by him. Personally, I think we should be operating secretly, but I definitely agree that we need some anwers before adding another skull into the gathering.

 		If we don't tell the chosen what we are doing, they may think we have abandoned them. Plus, the skulls are the ones that are being secretive, we do not know what they are up to. Ted may be safe, he may be a misguided freakazoid, but unless we can talk to him, we won't know.

Plus, the skulls were hiden from the world & each other for a reason, so are we really doing the right thing in bringing them together? What if they plan to annihilate mankind?
