04:18PM pcarson: Hey there
04:18PM mthesburg: Hello
04:18PM mthesburg: I will wait a few moments.
04:19PM pcarson: Got it. Trying to round up the troops.
04:21PM * ssmith has entered the room
04:22PM * ssmith: waits
04:22PM mthesburg: Almost ready
04:23PM * rmiles has entered the room
04:23PM rmiles: hello
04:23PM mthesburg: Ok, We will work to this slowly.
04:23PM mthesburg: I have noticed a problem today.
04:24PM pcarson: Ok.
04:24PM rmiles: OK..
04:24PM mthesburg: Many people have been upset
04:24PM ssmith: upset?
04:24PM mthesburg: Alecia is not only ruining my world, but many of yours.
04:24PM mthesburg: I hear I have unloyalist around me
04:24PM mthesburg: And so do you
04:25PM pcarson: *nod*
04:25PM mthesburg: And Ideltech is too small for that.
04:25PM * ssmith: looks around for Judas
04:25PM mthesburg: As is the place (wherever that is that you converse)
04:26PM mthesburg: What I am willing to do is broaden things for everyone.
04:26PM mthesburg: I want to make you happy.
04:26PM mthesburg: I want you to feel free to express and share ideas
04:27PM mthesburg: And for that to happen everyone can't live under the same house
04:27PM mthesburg: Alecia makes sure of that
04:27PM mthesburg: Do you want to share info with people who will use it against you?
04:27PM bwochinski: absolutely not
04:27PM pcarson: Of course not.
04:28PM mthesburg: Everyone..... please take a look at www.immersionunlimited.com
04:28PM * jwilliams has entered the room
04:29PM * fsilk has entered the room
04:29PM pcarson: Hmm, interesting...
04:29PM fsilk: Evening all. /me nods at Marcus
04:30PM mthesburg: Ok, I am sure many of you have thing to say to one another.
04:30PM mthesburg: Right Jude
04:30PM mthesburg: ?
04:30PM jwilliams: Hi
04:30PM fsilk: Jude!
04:31PM fsilk: How's things?
04:31PM jwilliams: Very well, thank you.
04:31PM mthesburg: You see Jude and I discussed this today
04:31PM mthesburg: We disagreed at first
04:32PM mthesburg: Jude believe you can work this out amongst yourslves.
04:32PM mthesburg: I believe this woman has just begun to screw with us
04:32PM jwilliams: Yes we did
04:32PM mthesburg: and we haven't seen anything yet
04:32PM pcarson: That wouldn't surprise me.
04:34PM mthesburg: So, hopefully this will allow Ideltech employees to go to a place of safety and people of other factions can stay where they have always been
04:35PM mthesburg: I just want a harmonious community. And sometimes the house gets too small and we need to make a new house in the lot next door
04:36PM * bshaw has entered the room
04:36PM fsilk: Marcus and Jude, you should set the privaledges on this board so that only registered users can view posts, as well as actually posting. Even that won't make it Alicia-proof, but it will allow you/us (the trsutworthy employees!) to vet everyone who has access to it.
04:36PM pcarson: Good point.
04:37PM jwilliams: I'll leave that to Marcus.. This is his baby
04:37PM mthesburg: Cypher-Systems is already going to help with what you said too. We ARE going to do like you said. But we will also have a special data code attached to the info. So if people cut and paste... we might be able to track who and where they sent the info
04:38PM fsilk: Nice idea
04:38PM mthesburg: This means.... we will know if you are selling secrets
04:38PM pcarson: Ahh, nifty.
04:39PM mthesburg: Any questions?
04:39PM mthesburg: Yes, we are getting chats too
04:39PM mthesburg: Yes, we will have file loading
04:39PM pcarson: Cool.
04:39PM * jdonahue has entered the room
04:39PM mthesburg: We are going to try to make you as comfortable as before.
04:40PM bwochinski: it sounds thoroughly planned out
04:40PM jdonahue: Hello
04:41PM mthesburg: It is. But necesity is the mother of invention
04:41PM mthesburg: Can someone catch the esteemed mr Donahue up on what has happened?
04:42PM pcarson: Doing so now.

04:42PM mthesburg: Which is going to Ms. Bristow.
04:43PM mthesburg: Any more I can do for anyone?
04:44PM jdonahue: Marcus, I know this may seem a little out of the question maybe, but have you considered putting a triple agent into Alecia's group?
04:44PM fsilk: Is she still an employee?
04:44PM fsilk: hehe good question John!
04:44PM pcarson: Have our logins been set up yet, or do we need to set that up ourselves?

short summary

The main point of the chat is that Marcus has set up a site for us to use in addition to unfiction. This may solve all of the board issues with in and out of game info. He will also have a chat room.

The site is:

http://www.immersionunlimited.com/

Also, Jude was in the chat but no Marty. No one seems to have asked where Marty was.

I talked with Jude yesterday about Marty (sorry, didnt copy the log). He said Marty doesnt like talking to people he cant see, he doesnt like emails or IM programs. He hasnt setup his Ideltech account either, thats why we havent seen him yet.

Ok, at the urging of Giskard (who assured me this wasn't TOO off the wall) I have a thought about Marty. Now for clarification there was this movie, called First Monday in October with Walter Matthau and Jill Clayburgh that gave me this idea. In the movie, Matthau's character is semi-obsessed with this case (their both Supreme Court Justices) about a company called Omnitech. His big issue is that they are completely unable to locate it's CEO. Once while bantering with Jill's character he speculates that the CEO is dead, that he's been dead for a while, and that the people now running the company are using him for a front man, someone to pass the buck to, someone to hide behind if things go bad...

Now my concern is this.
1. If Marty doesn't like to communicate through e-mail or IMs, how are we ever going to be in contact with him? It's not as if we'll be doing video conferencing with him.
2. From what I've gathered from others in the game, no one has ever had any contact with Marty.

Probably being overanalytical, but something is off here.

Urging & assuring, that's what I do Wink

Well, actually, I do think Marty is a worthy subject of speculation... why haven't we heared or seen anything from him yet?!

Sure, they say he "doesn't like to chat online", but yesterday was a conference with the "board" of Ideltech and it's employees, you can hardly say "oh I won't attend, 'cause I don't like to chat"... so what's REALY up with him? Smile

OK, a bit off-topic here but I'll ask anyway:
How in hell do you know about these conferences??? I've never seen any kind of broadcast messages (except for the one talking about ruware chat with Krystal and Nash) so I always miss them!!!

I think they are made through the Intellim messaging system but I'm always on the wrong side of the planet at the time Crying or Very sad. Am I correct?

I've just re-read Marty's history on the Ideltech site.
Quote:
In his spare time he tends Star Trek conventions, collects comics, and tends his NRA committee meetings.

Set phasers to semi-automatic!
If Marty is a member of the NRA isn't it possible that Thad know him?
Perhaps one of us who has contact with Thad could try and find out?

Yeah but how does Marcurs announce the meeting? Just sending an IM to everyone online at the moment telling them "Hey, we'll meet in 5 minutes"
If so, its just ridicoulous; if I knew what time the meetings were, I probably could try and attend (althouh it would be difficult being in the other side of the planet too Rolling Eyes ) but Im not a fortune-teller!!

sure

Slyfox I can ask Thad, but I would encorage you to email him yourself. I'm biased of course towards the Restorers' view points.

I agree with Slyfox and Shelina, some prior warning about meetings so us timezone challenged people can attend.
