There is a scroll bar now and it also seems to show a certain amount of the conversation before you entered the chat room which is handy.

total meta moment:


!!!!!hehehe, thank you dear sweet PMs who listen to the needs of the players!!!!!

Remember guys, we still don't know if Brian is to be trusted. He may be just doing this for something that could ultimately put Eva or whoever in a worse spot. Don't give out too much if he starts asking questions.

Also, I wonder if we should tell Pat and Dave about this. Maybe they'd want to come into the chat too?

I got the same letter from Wilson - well if he wants me as a student SRI is rubbish - unlucky coincidence, I'll be at another chat at the same time (and as I invited I really have to be there) so I can't come. Really sorry for this.
Remember that strange math riddle on Wilson's desk? I do think the words have a meaning too - could be that he is forced to work for youkin, could be that he is blackmailed... gosh, anything could be...

and I can't make it but will be thinking of you all!

bah!

Okay, so here's what I'm thinking:

Firstly, we don't know if we can trust "Professor Wilson" or not, especially as we don't *actually* know whether or not this person is Professor Wilson. Frankie, Pat, and Dave all met us in person, and so, although we don't know whether or not we can trust them, we at least knew it was them that we were meeting.

I think it would be good to have a list of specific answers we would like to get out of this chat session. If we are all just asking questions, and we don't have the same agenda, it might be more difficult for US to maintain control of the chat, which I think is important. If HE maintains all of the control, then we only get out of it precisely what he wants us to.

I'd say it's probably a bad idea to invite any of the other people--Frankie, Pat, Dave. We don't absolutely know we can trust them, and if we don't invite them to the chat, we can decide how much information we want to feed them--again, maintaining the control.

The more control we have, the more difficult it is for us to be manipulated, and at least one site (psivolution) talks about trying to manipulate networked entities such as ourselves.

We could even potentially assign questions to specific people so that we don't have too many questions being asked at once--but that seems a bit too organised.

At any rate, my personal list of questions I'd like to ask are something like this:

1. Before we talk about saving Eva, can you give us any evidence to prove your identity and whether or not we can trust you?
(of course he can't do this, but it would be good to see what he responds with)

2. Do you know Frankie Francis, or Pat and Dave, and, if so, can we trust them?
(Again, this is more to establish whether or not they are all on the same side--although, potentially, if Pat and Dave are good guys, this could be exposing them)

3. What is Kenkon's ultimate goal?

4. Who owns subject180287, and what exactly is it?

5. Didn't you resign from SRI? How is it that you are now writing acceptance letters, etc.?

6. Where have you been? We know Eva was at your flat, even, and you were not there.

7. (Obviously) Where is Eva, and how can we help her?

8. Who is Eva's real father?

Okay, that's my first 8. Anyone else?

Excellent!

Also:

Who was Keir Jones' employer?

Is Erwin really just a cat? Is he with Eva?

What is in Youshi, and why did you ask Eva to drink it?

How is Melvin Geist connected to this?

I completely agree with the "not giving out information" thing that Olly said. If he says something about Montauk, for example, I think we should act surprised.

Teri is a friend of mine, she lurks because she has to work a lot and needs her sleep. She will usually log in like that and go on to work or to bed which explains why she didn't answer you.

[hobgoblin]

Oh good thought I was being spooked

Good call carmenmiranda, bringing some focus. If 3 ppl ask a question at once then he can easily pick and choose only the ones he wants to answer.
