I was going to post something witty here, but its been a long day, and FFVII is calling, keep the faith, BG will work out eventually, i hope.



Or at least tell us who played nora white


That's so sweet. You still wanna know who Nora is. Laughing

Why is everyone so quiet? Are you all still confused from last week or what? I just want to play BG. Smile I'm starting to have withdrawals. Smile

getting over the fact...

I have not given up, I just needed to go back and think it all through (again).

The whole Rhinojock27 thing has made me go back and try reassess what might be right and wrong.

I feel like I should start the game over and go through each clue and tick off what is really IG.

Like I started re-watching video 1 and trying to figure what clues we had answers for and which ones we did not. Doing a stocktake and at this stage excluding all of Rhinojock27s chat logs.

Sometimes to go forward you have to go back..

a longshot

Well, on marty's myspace (thesbian04) his number 1 friend is this black guy names Mr Mcallister. I figured that is its his #1, maybe they have had some form of contact and/or surely he knows the guy somehow!? Anyways, im new to this game, just started it today (read about ARGs in Game Informer) and it seems extremely interesting...but the clues...they just dont add up...im going to have to look a little deeper (write them down, orgazie, etc etc.) and try to figure this out. Anywaysm I wrtoe this "Mr. Mcallister" and asked him for any information on th3sbian04 (his display name is 'marty' {clue?}) but he hasnt responded. his last login was today so hes fairly active. all i can really do is wait...


EDHIT: Mr. Mcallister read my message, but he didnt reply. I looked at my sent folder.

Hullo guys, I think a time line would be a very useful idea.

We should include the date when we first recieved contact from this rhinojock27 on aim, so we know what to exclude.

I still dont really know what to do about this 'game' I think the PM is going to have to do something really awesome to get me and a few others hooked back in after what happend last week.

I personally wont be contacting anyone ingame until their is either a new update or a new video. It put me off too much.

I contacted stan and eddie a while ago and neither replied, so you know, I cant really be bothered.

And something else that really annoys me about the net threats thing is, they post on the blog saying they will accept any help from anyone, you email them your findings, and they tell you they already know, or solved it ages ago. So whats the point?

Ciss: I think we have the same feelings about this game.

* We are a good bunch of people frequently visiting the forum. I guess we are just waiting for something to happen. We want to play the game, but cant .
* The PM must do some cleaning up, make an update or something.
* We cant contact/interact with anyone without having clear evidence that they are ingame (this really hurts the ARG).


Stan havnt replied to my last email, dont know why.

Another thing, in the period between marts and may, the only thing happend in BG was the RJ thing (maybe we missed something?).

NOTE: I still want to play this game, but i cant do anything before something is cleaned up and updated.

Character Profiles

By chance I found the Bristel Goodman ARG a few days back and since then, and regardless of what my better judgment tells me, somehow I've been hooked by it... I've gone over the forums and read relevant topics to acquaint myself with what's going on, and by now feel like I should lend a hand with this sordid tale.

That out of the way, puzzles and cyphers have always intrigued me, but I'm not really well versed with them, that said, and wanting to lend a hand before getting in more practice with them, I've decided to help in a way I know I can, organization and research. To start I've begun work on detailed profiles for characters, including: Name, age, occupations, history, previous and current contact information, aliases, and possible connections with other characters within the Bristel Goodman world. I may not have been looking hard enough, but I couldn't find this information gathered together in any one place.

My plan is to add this info to the character section of the wiki created by cissmiace. If there's any other more useful function I can serve in the group give me a PM and let me know. I'm more than happy to help out in any capacity until another development in the story shows up.

My fingers are crossed that the game goes on, by this point I can't imagine living without closure of some sort...

I luff you, have a brownie: Brownie Laughing

You are most welcome! You sound like you know what your doing, which is great because I'm now so confused I dont even know where I am xD

Seperate charecter profiles is a great idea, if you want to make seperate pages then please go ahead and add as many as you wish, the wiki is pretty easy to add to and edit, and the naviigation menu is very easy.

I've been meaning to write up a FAQ as well, which I guess I'll do at some point, but currently I'm still a tad uncomfortable about what happend recently.

But I miss posting here and I miss Brrittany and Jim, so, even though I'll hate myself for it, I imagine I'll be back sometime soon xD And I never thought I would miss the insanity of this game either...

Ciss,

I miss you and Jim too. But we always have myspace and aim. I don't know where I'm at either. I'm all confused. I feel like i've been playing 2 games.


I need entertained. Smile I'm bored.

You guys can't give up...

Hey,

Where did the trail go cold?

EDIT: scarecrow.black said he/she was going to edit the wiki. Nothing new. What's up? Is he/she the PM? Trying to tell us something?

Sorry to disappoint you L. King, but I'm just your ordinary player in this thing trying to lend a hand the best way I know how. Thought I should clarify that before this goes any further. Sure wish I was the PM though... then I might know what in the world is going on right now.

cissmiace, glad to know I'm doing something semi-useful, I can understand how the recent events would make things more than a bit awkward, I haven't been following this for too long, and I really don't know you all, but seeing what happened still made things a bit uncomfortable for me as well. It's everybody's prerogative as to what they decide to do after that, but I hope that this group keeps going on, I'd hate to see it end, there aren't many that are openly working on this anymore, that's one of the reason's I've decided to help out, which was even a bit of a struggle to decide upon myself.

More on topic though, and trout me if this has been brought up already, as I've been working on the Profiles I was trying to pin other aliases to the name Bristel Goodman, going back over the videos again and such. I realized that I assumed that the unknown webchat participant in these cases was always this Bristel Goodman, who is known to be the murderer as stated in the invitation Eddie recieved. I don't know if there's anybody else still assuming that Bristel Goodman fills both these positions, but the first video seems to present a contridiction in that Nora is killed while in the middle of a webchat. This would place the murderer both at the computer and at the door of Nora's apartment at the same time, an impossibility.

To take this anywhere though, there has to be evidence that either Nora is talking with somebody else at the time of her murder, or that the unknown webchatter and the murderer are two different people. Still, the murderer ends up having the footage of Nora's death via webcam, which presents a problem... any suggestions from current evidence as to what's going on? Without some kind of evidence everything I just said is pretty much rubbish...

backtracking

Hey everyone dont give up I have been reading over the previous 60 pages of the first thread and went looking for some themes/xovers etc. Sorry if this post is long a lot has been going on and I have highlighted some of the more interesting things of the first 30 or so pages.

Anyway here are some things I found interesting:
Page 3 of original 60 pager - Liquorice sniper said after contacting Eddie "another weird thing: I am assuming he looked me up on Google, since I gave him my AIM addy, but he referred to me by a username I use on other sites, which I thought was a little weird. Kinda gave me the willies, honestly. I am sure he is just being resourceful though."
Dec 28th - Eddie emails MountainGirl and provides her with link to the forums.
Dec28th - Nekked_JCfaust posts (page7) and says The song is called "Breathe" and it's by the band NEKKED... I know this cause we wrote the f%ing song.... WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE? HOW DID YOU GET MY SONG IN THAT NIGHTCLUB???????? JC Faust.... NEKKED http://www.nekked.net
Dec 29th - TJ - Rhinojock27 logs on as guest (page 7) claims made account 2 days ago and not involved in game.
Jan 02 Darkling informs us that index file has been deleted on Bristel Goodman
Jan31st (page 15) PM gives a clue on forums - YmtoZyBwYXh0bSBmcmxpdHZ4 leads us to iron wheat on my space (also Ironwheat was online)
Feb 1st Esteed has chat with rhinojock27 (the one who claimed to be OG and is the first chat with him?)
Feb 2nd Esteed mentions a new disturbing photograph – (anyone know which on it is)
Feb 2nd page 18 - DaisyBloom (OOG) has her picture messed with (arbolita goes to college with her) www.myspace.com/daisybloom
Feb 4th Netthreats gives us a decoded message and the answer
Feb 5th Chixor notices Eddies email address is changed
Feb 5th page 23 Ironwheats profile becomes male – picture in forums.
Feb 15th Ironwheat myspace now 17 year old girl
Feb 18th – page 25 ranman (Guest) – "dont really feel like going back and reading all these pages again so i thought i would post this just incase it hasnt been posted lately if for no other reason so that the new guys will see the stange clues layed before us.. i found myspace.com/wayisnoway , which is rhino he has only one friend and its our first girl.... her name is Nora White she has the chat sessions with rhino on her blog that we seen on the video if i posted this when it has already been posted i appoligize... just tring to get involved." He also makes discovery of a real Nora White in New York, also gives us the NoraZone.
Feb 20th page 27 Ript comes on and accuses Brritany, Jazkat, Kronill, Ranman, Red_Encephalid of being PMs. (I believe he may have been right about the Ranman in hindsight) .

That's as far as I have got but I don't believe we ever sold the greek letters puzzle.
What is interesting is LiquoriceSniper and DaisyBloom both have had incidents which are bit similar to what happened recently, where they almost become IG without knowing it.
Is this game trying to blur the lines?? or real and alternate??

I don't think any of us posted we were quitting. We just want the pm to update stuff. Get the game moving. We keep going in circles. It's all kind of confusing now after what happened. Which I still don't understand that whole Rhino mess thing. Smile

Also just to correct a few things. I was before Esteed. I just never posted it. I told Esteed I had messaged with him.

Also Jaz has always said there's two people involved.

Where are you Jaz? You promised.

Trak,

Thanks for putting all that up. I had forgotten so much. But really I'd rather go forward.

Thats amazing Trak!!! You have reminded me of alot that I had forgotten or had missed. Very Happy

Which greek letters puzzle are you refering too btw? Im not really with it today so I'm getting myself somewhat confused Laughing

scarecrow: I absolutley agree, I too have always thought there were two people involved, and I've always thought that the web chatter who says dont go - is infact a good guy trying to stop them getting hurt. But who is this? If it was Eddie surely he would say 'i tried to stop them'.
The only explinations I could think of for the webcam footage would be that the 'murderer' has implemented some form of tracking programe onto the webchatters computer.

However, another theory that has just sprung to mind is this:
The killer and the webchatter are the same, and is using a wireless computer and webcam that enables him to travel freely.
My thoughts for this stem from the fact that in video 5 (I think) we see footage of Nora's body on the floor, taken from the position of the killer.

There however is no evidence for either.

Edit: I forgot to mention, about what you said Trak, about what happend to Sniper and Daisybloom. That is again another problem I have. Especially in regards to the photo. That is crossing the border for me really, and your right it does have rings of the recent events.
Something is pulling at my alarm bells, and I'm not sure what it is.

Sorry for not responding so quick the greek letters are in video 2 and were translated to:
"λε δπως αυτα που; τι σας κανουν να κανετε; οβ ξζ φς ιγ πδ ιε"

τι σας κάνουν να κάνετε; = what do they make you do?

πως = how
αυτά = these
που; =where

The other bits λε δ and οβ ξζ φς ιγ πδ ιε are not Greek words. They can be translated to the following letters:

λε δ = le d

οβ ξζ φς ιγ πδ ιε = ov xz fs jg pd je
On Netthreats they wondered if the greek could be part of a one time number pad.
Also it was netthreats that solved the sign language and said it meant Bristel Goodman - yet when I went over all the people who had attempted to solve it noone had come close to Bristel Goodman, the variants I had seen include:
dogeltsoglt
legodatlegod
tlsogodetlsgod
tlmgodetlmgod
tlegodstlegod
stlegndstlegnd

I am now thinking should we trust Stan? - he tells us the net is a threat etc maybe he is the baddie. I mean we think he is helping us but is he really? - we need to have a real hard look at Stan is he friend or foe?
