 [REF]Story So Far

[coffeegirl18]

More than a little lost....

[poeticexplosion]

Hey coffeegirl!

As with most ARGs, there's no real way to "join" it. You should probably register an account on the sentryoutpost.com forum, but that's all I can think of. Just read whatever you can and help with whatever looks interesting.

The game seems to be just starting, so now's a great time to get involved. The only thing that's really new since that "story so far" was written is the package they found in alphabet city. You can read about that here:

Up to date

[WolfHawk]

Head over to the Sentry Outpost site. In the forums is a Field Work section. That has the current puzzles we are working on.

Ok, here's a very quick and very dirty reference. I have no idea how to do wiki and I know I am missing some information here but for what it's worth:

May 24
New post on StuRs blog: http://www.ronomi.com/2007/05/im_so_sick_and_tired_of_the_sh_2.html He has been assisting Bryce aka Themagician in investigating the boil.c file.

May 26
Bryce disappears from computer interaction.

May 27
Marie aka Mkaos is contacted by the police. Bryce has had a breakdown and is now in an asylum. He was covered in blood when found and is basically catatonic. His computer room was covered in deaad birds, blood, and feathers. His whiteboard had the following messge: /backups/121606 = boil and a big WARN MARIE!

May 29
Sapagoo creates a get well card for Bryce: http://www.sentryoutpost.com/wiki/index.php?title=Get_well_card

May 30
James Stone notes differences between opriginal boil file and current boil file: http://www.sentryoutpost.com/wiki/index.php?title=BOIL_Process and also that the boil file updates daily.

June 4
James Stone finds http://www.ronomi.com/MT/. on the server.

June 4-19
Two week gap in CL postings.

Kevin aka GetMeOut drives to Florida and meets BA. He gives us very little information other than she is a real person who can't sleep and does have the dreams posted in CL. He determines that she did not send the packages. Kevin acts "different" after the visit.

June 29
Access is gained to the second MUD which contains the following:

The Gate
Quote:
The Gate
Crumbling stones sketch a broad courtyard. The harsh glare of
afternoon. The sharp shadow of a huge tower across flagstones. The
drone of hundreds of monks hidden in shadow. The clanking of their
prayer wheels spinning in time. Occultation. There is no peace at the
gate. Light goes into the ground. The bones thrown reveal their
trigrams. Earth above. Fire below.
Contents:
choraz, The Altar, The Bargainers' Sigil, The Black Swan, Obtusitivity
Visible Exits:


Choraz
Quote:
choraz
Meditating. Raiment of a caretaker. Eyes shut but seeing. The left
hand, held aloft. Thumb and finger make a circle. Smallest extends
while others cross. The right hand hidden. An inappropriate smirk.

The Altar
Quote:
#The Altar
Broken. Discarded. Misused. Reborn. Given new purpose. Stones crackle
with current and fire.

The Bargainer's sigil
Quote:
#The Bargainers' Sigil
A strange, sinuous sign painted on the flagstones. A single line: a
tortured, beautiful path. It invokes the Bargain. It promises
spectacle.

The Black Swan
Quote:
#The Black Swan
Lucky. Trapped. Trussed in supplication. Fragile. Terrified beyond
struggle. The Bargainers' Sigil drawn around it.


Marie is informed that Kevin aka GetMeOut has hanged himself.

July 4
Access to the new MUD is lost again.

 Quick question

[Illuminant]

SableKing,

Some players have submitted their contact details to the Contact thread so they can be contacted by new games; other players are so active in the community that the developers can find their addresses in other ways; and lastly, puppet masters have weird ungodly powers. That's all any of us need to know.

And rest assured, this is definitely a game - the meta site can be found at EldritchErrors.com.

[Taluria-Not logged in]

What do you meant we can't access the MUD? I've been accessing it fine

[WolfHawk]

I couldn't get to it for a couple weeks. I'll have to try again.

[Chanur]

Has anyone been able to access the MUD since July 4 (besides Taluria)?

Since we seem to be doing a lousy job of keeping this up, here are a couple of resources to get caught up on the story:

[endercoaster]

stupid question, but it wouldn't be too late to start, would it? and I'm guessing just register at the sentryoutpost site?
