 		[trailhead?][TRISKABIBLIOS] Two new emails
I recieved two emails today from t.islingtonSPLATgmail.com
They appear to be related to the old triskabiblios, er, "thing" that was played about two years ago.
I don't remember what emails were in game at the time, but it seems legit.

Email One: (Sunday 9/9 10:11 PM)

(yes, that showed up upside down.)

Thoughts?

As a brief refresher, in the triskabiblios game, I was promised a key would eventually show up on the Colgate campus.

 		So, were this Duckie and this Triscal in the previous game?

And is there anything new about that website? It looks cool, I hope this is the start of a new ARG. Very Happy

EDIT: Here's his blog http://www.triscalislington.blogspot.com/
EDIT #2: another blog http://www.vibration13.blogspot.com/

 		There is a very active Triskabiblios community at Immersion Unlimited. From what I remember about this game, the creators preferred in-game message board discussion with players, and that didn't work out with the Unfiction TOS.

Was it a kerfuffle or a ǝlɟɟnɟɹǝʞ?

Either way, this is still not as cool as flipping a standard calculator upside-down after typing in 58008 or 5318008. Razz

 		I've always been partial to 71077351, but maybe that's just me.

Also, I like the word 'kerfuffle.' Smile

In a desperate attempt to stay on-topic... Has anyone noticed the code from www.triskabiblios.com? EOEOEIUAIYthsnglrty

It's quite a pretty website, really.

 		Don't know if this is a Trout or not, but I noticed that the box where EOEOEIUAIYthsnglrty is is a box you can type in - password maybe?

 		Trika Biblios is Thirteen Books, right-o?

What was the plot of the original?

Wasn't it, "71077345"?

Technically, TriskaBiblios is 3-Books. TriskaDecaBiblios is 13-Books. But for purposes of the original experience, we stuck with the 13 even though the PM misunderstood the difference.

Also. While the original PM (Toby) was running it, it was never a game. He had issues with uF's rules and basically gave up on his effort to change the world.

One or more of the players tried to take it over after that but I had already quit playing due to Toby's disrespect of the players.
Actually, I was removed from the Scribes list when I threatened to put my Scribeship up on eBay.

The original launch was really cool, though, due to the minute-by-minute site updates by Toby. And the large, ravenous player base at LazyLaces made for a wild ride.

Hey Rowan... I just got a chuckle remembering the "BamHammer".

 		That light in the bottom left is where you can input a password. Any idea what that code in the box means?
