[Deaddrop]Folio Collection Can We Get these Picked Up, or Find Someone to Do It? Hey. Just a reminder, we have two deaddrops that have been sitting there for weeks. So while we're waiting for Districts to go live, can anybody check for friends they have nearby and get these up? If you can pick one up, claim it here.

Sorry for the double post, but I wanted to bump the thread.
There were two pieces of a paper that seemed as if it was torn in half.

Good job apcfreak!! Here's a transcription, I'm not sure about a couple words if someone wants to correct me, but I thinks its pretty good.
Quote:
The searcher seeks only himself
For him to succeed he requires another
The anguished cry calls faith thunder
And a new mystery unfolds before him
The God Killer man seethes with rage
Blood ?divine? and Dust in the wind
The six pillars will fall when the city is burning
And the End will be known thirty years hence
Much will be unvealed[sic] in the Third Millennium
Deus Ex Machina shall renew the flame
The book will unveal[sic] the hidden brothers
A ?sodality? once before and once again
What is lost is found and rejoined
Preparations for the coming end are made
The Brotherhood a new name takes
And for three decades it then waits
Agents of darkness and light
Agents of color and prestige
Agents of change and difference
Agents of evil and lies
No man is safe from the deception
The systems born of evil only
Lies become truth become lies
Until the time of rebellion begins
Just so I'm clear is this IG or OOG for now?

Thanks apcfreak!
Though I admit, I share Johnny's question? If it's IG, does that mean we have a new DC player?

Thank you SO much for retreiving those pages.
I guess we do need to know if apcfreak is playing. If not, how do we figure out which "side" "found" it?

Does any particular side need to have it? I thought this folio (the one in NM) was only known to tCotSA IG, so it makes sense if they have it.
The FL folio was the one known to both sides, so it's only fair that the person who's retrieving it chooses.

apcfreak created a profile, so I believe that means the distribution of the information (and who to send it to) is up to them.
My bet is the info is OOG until we hear differently, then?

Hey guys!
I am still trying to get into Deus City right now, and I dont have any idea whether I am IG or OOG right now, and I am (secretly) hoping for a PM to message me about the status of this page. OH, and finding the page was no problem, I literally live about 2 miles away from Zimmerman Library.

Might as well forget about communication from a PM; they stay WELL behind the curtain.

Ya, I figured.
Well, what is the general consensus on who to give the info to?

apcfreak, the "consensus" here is you get to choose what to do with the folio. Here are the options as I see it.
Email it to Adam Brackin ALBrackinSPLAT gmail.com - He is the leader of the Underground movement in Deus City, and the head honcho in charge of the "get the folio pieces" campaign. He's fairly religious, believes in the prophecies absolutely, and wants to bring down the government in the future--since he believes the future can't be changed.
Probable outcome: increase in prestige, you'll go green(er). Adam will post it to his blog.
Email it to Ethan Sedgewick eldoradowatcherSPLAT gmail.com - He is the guy who originally sent us this puzzle. He's part of the organization that protected the folio pieces (which are from a folio created by Nostradamus) for over 500 years. He's mostly allied with Adam...we think.
Probable outcome: increase in prestige, you'll go green(er). Ethan will give it to Adam, Adam will post it on his blog
(He is the tCotSA representative in the game-->tCotSA being the Committee of the Sedulous Amalgamation, the other trailhead for this game)
Email it to Foo - foo.defiantSPLAT gmail.com He is the head of Defense-Corp in our time and the head of Deus City in the future. Interestingly enough, he is the most vocal in encouraging agents to attempt to change the future. In the grand security / freedom debates, he tends to favor the security end of things.
Probable outcome: increase in prestige, you'll go red(er). Foo will probably post it to his blog, but he's never actually got one so we don't he's never actually got one so we don't know.
Email it to Chris Brown CfreakSPLAT gmail.com Chris wants the folio too. I have no clue what he would do with it if he got it, and I have no clue why.

Don't forget!
The Union want the folio if only to maintain a power balance between Brackin/Theo and Foo.
Father Ziod and VNS also want it, I don't tknow why.

I want to apologize over here for disappearing as well. (Already got confused on the tCotSa forum...) Anyway, good job on sorting out the clues and finding the folio page!
