I don't think anyone playing this game needs to feel guilty for not getting what B.A. is trying to tell us. PMs can guilt trip all they want but in the long run its up to them to tell a story we, the players, can understand. If we aren't getting it then they should look to themselves. I have retreated to lurker mode again until I have some idea what this game is about.

So are we not catching the clues to find new sites on the internet?

I run up the street and turn the corner hoping to catch up with the crowd of people asking about the angel. They must know something. They may even have her finger. The street is crowded with people, but I don't see them anywhere. I run into the coffee shop - the only place alive on this corner. They aren't there. Did I miss them or did I imagine them?


This sounds like she is trying to find us somewhere. I think that BA is like us, she may not have the answers, but she is looking for them. Maybe she needs our dreams to help her figure out what is going on?

Probably a stupid question, but has anyone given BA a link to the SO guys? If shes trying to find us, most of us are over there.

Okay this is going to tie back into my frustration expressed in the "mechanics" thread, which apparently you don't share, but- if this is what the situation is, why doesn't she tell us, or at least make that clearer?? Is there some psychic law against using clear and articulate declarative sentences in the Craigslists, along the lines of:

"I am sending you these messages because I am hoping that you will help me figure them out. I am haunted by them because they seem to be portents of some dire event. Let's work together to stop this from happening. Hugs and kisses, BA"

What if she isnt concious of posting them? Its just a thought that popped into my head. What if she is dreaming while shes doing it, or in some form on trance.

Like automatic writing but...asleep Laughing

Well, she's the one that gave us the URL to Sentry Outpost, through a puzzle in the packages she sent. Smile So presumably she knows about it.

Unless you're right and she isn't conscious she's doing these things. Shocked

I'm pretty sure she knew about sentry outpost and sent us there on purpose. before the most recent information about the hidden data, I thought she sent us there so she could keep track of what we are doing by moving us all into the same place.

Now I am thinking that maybe she dreamed about the location?

is it possible that she is some kind of program herself? I don't know how this would work with the craigslist postings. I wonder if there is some correlation with the site being down and the fires....dunno

The finger complicates any scenarios where BA isn't a "real" person.
I guess she/it could be channeling.

Although, didn't BA just "dream" about the broken angel finger? Wasn't it DC who left the package containing the actual finger with the psychic in Alphabet City? Or am I mistaken?

The packages, however, ARE a mystery! Shocked

Damn that just reminded me of a link someone showed me, I cant remember what it was called, I'll try and find it. Basically it was about mind crontrol through uses of games (args etc) via the interwebs Shocked I must of read it from this game, someone must of posted it.

Or I dreamt it Shocked
