Aw, to heck with this secrecy rubbish.

It's a little bit of code that Bishop gives you, if he trusts you enough. Allows you to communicate without the System seeing the message. If you ever get a message with <sniffme> in it, then it's safe.

DO NOT start using it if you haven't been given it, though. There's an activation code, that Bishop gives you, that you'd need to use first.

To summarize the two chatlogs:

William Forth works at a datacenter in London, where he's lived all his life. Slewth figures into his past, and he considers the website some sort of "Matrix-like game" or something as a joke. His wife is sick, and some servers crapped out on him so he's having a bad day.

I asked slewth for some advice on bringing him over and some info...got this in response.

Quote:
It's probably going to take alot of pestering to get him over. He's much like myself...very private and reserved. You might need to gang up on him with a few others.

Thanks for finding him by the way. I just hope we're not too late.



In this one, I ask how old slewth is, since he figured into Will's past...
Quote:
Just old enough to be his father. I thought he'd remember me. You need to work on that. His curiosity will get the better of him in the end.

I need to speak to him. Basically he needs to do something for me. I can't say much more than that. Thanks for trying to help.

[spec]
Chris mentions needing to kill Alex Senior, but he died in a plane accident when bringing Adam to Atlanta didn't he?
I'm starting to spec wether or not that actually happened, or if he's staged his own death for some obscure purpose (like giving the power to Foo or his kid Alex, that now believes Adam needs to die as vengeance to his father)..

And what if slewth is this Alex Wright Senior? Then would we really want him to get in contact William Forth?

Well, it looks like it's going to take some doing to get this William guy on the interface (awesome solve, by the way). Hopefully slewth's right and we can get him curious . . . if we can just at least get him in there then we've done our bit. This should be interesting.

There are too many people with too many names, sigh. They're all starting to whirl round and round my head. Rolling Eyes

well someone mentioned someone saying we should try and get multiple people to contact him. I'm waiting for him to come online on skype, so lets try and get a few more people together, get yourselves the info ingame (gimme an indication slewth has been talking to you about this and I will), and lets reel this fishy in.

Bah, wish I had Skype. Do we have any other contact details for this guy or is it up to the Skypers?

There are no skypers in Deus City. Everyone are productive members of society.

Free??? Woop de woop. I love free things (I am a student). I also love downloading things, so downloading free things makes my heart soar like a bird that is very good at flying.

Also, I've just now realised why people have been messaging me with <sniffme>. I thought there was some kind of erotic subculture going on I knew nothing about . . .

Bah he's online! Chatting now . . . will update later. Anyone else speaking to him at the moment?

Edit: Gah, he's slippery:

Quote:
[23:52:24] Matt Davidson says: Hello . . . William Forth?
[23:52:41] William Forth says: yeah
[23:52:44] William Forth says: who's this
[23:52:53] William Forth says: ?
[23:53:34] Matt Davidson says: Hello, my name's Matt. I know this may sound strange . . . or not . . . but I've been asked to find you. I believe you may already have spoken to someone about this?
[23:54:20] William Forth says: There was a matrix geek earlier, looking for me to join in his game
[23:54:23] William Forth says: yeah
[23:54:29] William Forth says: are you another of his kind?
[23:55:14] Matt Davidson says: Me? Well, I'm not really similar to him . . . but I am here for the same reason. The guy we've been talking to - Slewth - he really seems desperate to get your attention, huh?
[23:55:31] William Forth says: oh, that old demon
[23:55:40] William Forth says: Yeah you're friend mentioned him
[23:56:01] William Forth says: I don't know if I have the energy to face him at the moment
[23:57:19] Matt Davidson says: I'm sorry if this is all coming at a bad time, truly, but this all seems so important to Slewth . . . maybe if you just logged on and spoke to him, that might clear up some confusion? At the very least if you spoke to him it would stop him sending randoms off the Internet to talk to you . . . Smile
[23:57:40] William Forth says: This does seem odd
[23:57:48] William Forth says: I don't even know how he can contact me
[23:58:38] Matt Davidson says: I wish I knew more . . . all we know is that he wants to find you. He's a user at www.deuscity.com, if you sign up as a 'temporal agent' (sorry for the jargon) he'll be able to speak to you there. You don't even have to use your own name if you're not comfortable, we can get the message to him
[23:59:01] William Forth says: what's a temporal agent?
[23:59:06] William Forth says: is this a role play thing?
[23:59:11] William Forth says: do I have to be angry?
[23:59:46] Matt Davidson says: It's just the name they use on the site . . . it basically means the same as 'user', I think they're just trying to spice it up a little bit. You don't have to be angry . . . you can be though . . . do you want to be angry?
[00:00:04] William Forth says: I don't know
[00:00:13] William Forth says: this slewth guy makes me pretty angry
[00:01:03] Matt Davidson says: I would be too in your situation
[00:01:14] Matt Davidson says: But perhaps if you can talk to him? Explain your feelings?
[00:02:39] William Forth sighs
[00:02:53] William Forth says: I honestly don't know what i'd say
[00:03:25] Matt Davidson says: Maybe it would be something to listen to what he has to say . . . perhaps that would clear things up, give you an idea of what's happening
[00:05:04] William Forth says: hrm
[00:05:29] William Forth says: Life's running full steam at the moment, I can't really afford to waste any time
[00:05:58] Matt Davidson says: It would only be a few minutes, he's always lurking around . . . and it would remove this extra thing from your plater
[00:06:15] Matt Davidson says: Please think about it, it could be important, really important
[00:06:34] William Forth says: right.
[00:06:39] William Forth says: Well I'll think about it
[00:06:45] William Forth says: but to be honest
[00:06:52] William Forth says: my wife's off sick with stress
[00:06:58] William Forth says: she's pregnant too
[00:07:01] William Forth says: work's packed out
[00:07:05] William Forth says: and..
[00:07:16] William Forth says: I'm not really ready for a reunion
[00:07:51] Matt Davidson says: Thank you for thinking about it. That's all anyone can ask of you. Whatever went on with you and Slewth must have been big, huh?
[00:08:09] William Forth says: heh. You couldn't possibly imagine
[00:09:17] Matt Davidson says: Slewth must be pretty desperate to try and get in touch after something like that
[00:09:50] William Forth says: hrm
[00:09:57] William Forth says: ...
[00:13:03] William Forth says: well yeah
[00:13:14] William Forth says: so this time communication thing?
[00:13:19] William Forth says: is it really possible?
[00:13:53] Matt Davidson says: Well . . . all the evidence at the minute seems to indicate so. Healthy scepticism but . . . a lot of stuff's happened
[00:17:47] William Forth says: hrm
[00:17:54] William Forth says: I'm going to be off now
[00:18:07] William Forth says: maybe I'll join that interface some time.
[00:18:09] William Forth says: Not yet though
[00:18:16] William Forth says: I'm too busy
[00:18:38] Matt Davidson says: OK. Thank you so much for the time. Please consider joining . . . it would mean a lot to us. My name on there is Phoenix, if you do sign up drop me a line and we can talk, OK?
[00:18:53] William Forth says: sure
[00:19:11] Matt Davidson says: Thank you.
[00:19:15] William Forth says: I think i'll need more convincing
[00:19:18] William Forth says: but yeah
[00:19:21] William Forth says: I'll think about it
[00:19:46] Matt Davidson says: That's all we can ask
[00:19:51] Matt Davidson says: Speak soon, and take care.


I think we're wearing him down . . . *high-fives Jo-Mo*. I for one am VERY interested about his past with Slewth . . .

[12/02/2007 15:32:34] Joe Smith says: Hi
[00:04:36] William Forth says: Hello? yet another stranger
[00:04:38] William Forth says: lemme guess
[00:04:49] William Forth says: you want me to join the 'interface'
[00:04:55] William Forth says: that's what the others want too
[00:05:11] Joe Smith says: I seek information and what is best for everyone, including you
[00:05:24] William Forth says: right
[00:05:29] Joe Smith says: from that im guessing you dont want to join the interface
[00:05:42] Joe Smith says: tahst fine with me, I want to understand why they want you to join
[00:06:09] Joe Smith says: thats a nice 1984 quote btw, you a fan of the book then?
[00:06:43] William Forth says: Heh, a fan of the irony, not of the truth
[00:07:18] Joe Smith says: the irony of 1984 is the truth in my opinion
[00:08:05] William Forth says: heh.
[00:08:19] William Forth says: So what does this have to do with what you want me for?
[00:08:57] Joe Smith says: oh nothing inparticular, just thought it was interesting, especially due to the big brothery nature of "Deus City", which I presume you dont believe in
[00:09:02] Joe Smith says: I have a suggestion though
[00:09:09] Joe Smith says: I want to find out what is going on
[00:09:12] William Forth says: I'm listening
[00:09:18] Joe Smith says: You, I presume what people to stop pestering you
[00:09:22] Joe Smith says: *want
[00:09:40] Joe Smith says: Im well connected in this system
[00:09:50] Joe Smith says: help me and ill stop them
[00:09:53] William Forth says: yes, yes I do
[00:09:58] William Forth says: they're nice enough
[00:10:05] William Forth says: and I can't bear to be nasty
[00:10:14] William Forth says: but they sem a little caught up in the future
[00:10:43] Joe Smith says: yeh, I know
[00:10:59] Joe Smith says: I do understand why they think this way, but im still treating this as a bit less than it seems really
[00:11:09] William Forth says: right
[00:11:19] William Forth says: so why do you think he wants to contact me?
[00:11:34] Joe Smith says: I have no idea, but I am curious, information is power
[00:12:14] William Forth says: and you want information, right?
[00:12:35] Joe Smith says: so here's my proposition:
Join the interface, tell me what happens and maybe why you are involved in this, I will ask the other to stop pestering you, and i know there are many many others who are close to contacting you
[00:12:41] Joe Smith says: for now, I am trying to slow them down
[00:12:55] Joe Smith says: so yes, i want information. you want out.
[00:13:02] Joe Smith says: play along and I'll get you out.
[00:13:04] William Forth says: but this is my problem
[00:13:10] William Forth says: I have no idea what my purpose is
[00:13:14] William Forth says: why he wants me
[00:13:20] William Forth says: I thought I had lost him
[00:13:32] Joe Smith says: so find out
[00:13:38] Joe Smith says: you are under no oblogation
[00:14:02] Joe Smith says: join the interface and help me to help you, then quit if you believe it to be nonsense and of no importance to you
[00:14:30] Joe Smith says: if your right, ill stop all this
[00:14:36] William Forth says: okay. I'm thinking of joining
[00:14:42] William Forth says: just to shut everyone up
[00:14:45] William Forth says: but not now
[00:14:49] William Forth says: it's late here.
[00:15:06] William Forth says: I might need to ask a few questions first tomorrow morning
[00:15:07] Joe Smith says: yeh, I know
[00:15:09] Joe Smith says: Im tired too
[00:15:35] Joe Smith says: any time you might be available/
[00:15:47] Joe Smith says: ???
[00:16:18] William Forth says: I'll probably be around briefly..on my tea break
[00:16:22] William Forth says: 10AM
[00:16:26] Joe Smith says: ok
[00:16:40] William Forth says: It'd be great if you could find out if slewth is from the future
[00:16:45] William Forth says: that's just...
[00:16:48] William Forth says: wierd
[00:16:56] William Forth says: I'm not sure if i'd believe you
[00:16:57] William Forth says: aw man.
[00:17:04] William Forth says: My head's so confused
[00:17:08] Joe Smith says: I'm not sure if i'd believe it myself
[00:17:12] William Forth says: I can't even think
[00:17:21] William Forth says: I'm going to have to go
[00:17:27] Joe Smith says: I know, i'm in the same position as you, I got dragged into this by a friend
[00:17:32] Joe Smith says: ok, ill try and talk tomorrow
[00:17:35] Joe Smith says: email me if you need me
[00:17:40] Joe Smith says: dnjoeSPLAThotmail.com
[00:18:14] Joe Smith says: goodnight
[00:19:10] William Forth says: thanks
[00:19:42] Joe Smith says: np, im here to help, pleasure to meet you
[00:20:09] William Forth says: I wish I could say the same
[00:20:13] William Forth says: but all this is a bit wierd
[00:20:19] William Forth says: I hope you can forgive me
[00:20:26] Joe Smith says: I know, I understand
[00:21:07] Joe Smith says: sleep always makes you think clear, have a nice rest.


well im pretty happy with the success I had there. Anyone else get anything good?
