Message about Marcus

Just received this in my regular email:
Quote:
Find him for a better tomorrow.


Then attached was this voice message.


Edit* This email and the one following were both sent from Marcus' email account at Ideltech.

I just received this one, but it's signed Alecia

The Subject line reads: To Get Your Attention
Quote:
I know most have you have shut me out. After the tragedy that occurred today we need to band together. We need to save Marcus Thesburg from The Restorers. I got into his account so for once I would be heard. I can also track his whereabouts. Please, if you know where he is, let me know.



Alecia

Yup, just got the same phone calls (from Alecia, and then just 30 min later, from Marcus).

I've posted both at IU (as the employee "Heather Hunter", which is me).

Sounds like the game has started one day early (from the US point of view).

I got the same things. So the Ideltech email is still working....what does that mean for Tobi's well-being?

speculation

I also got both emails. So we have one or two people dead, and the Ideltech building damaged. Both OE and the Restorers have expressed motives.

It may be that both are involved. Maybe the Restorers are behind the damage to the Ideltech facility, and OE is behind the deaths?

We need to know the extent of the damage to Tobi, if any.

Why would Alecia claim that she wants to protect Marcus from the Restorers, insinuating that Thad was responsible for the explosion, when the coded messages to her operatives to do the dirty deeds was on her website!?!?!

Yup, I don't trust her.

But I can't trust Thad either.

Obviously at this point there is little to no evidence on Thad and tons on Alecia. We know (completely oog of course!) that she planted the explosives from Mos' post on the OE codes clue, so all the fingerprints of Thad's don't really matter. Not to mention, shouldn't his prints have been all over? 'Elias' was working in the new building too. Hope the cops are counting heavily on that evidence. We also know, based on the OE codes that she planned both Jude and Marty's deaths carefully.

So far everything points to her being 100% responsible. But obviously she thinks she can steer us away from that.

For the record, I still don't trust Thad either. I'm not sure if he's working with Alecia, if he has outside interests and is just being setup as her fallguy, or what. But based on what he did in his 'gathering support' chat, I still think he's up to something. I guess if we figure out how to contact him we might get some answers to our concerns.

I've just mentioned this elsewhere, but as we talk about IG/OG issues, I, as a newcomer, had no idea that that information was supposed to be OG. How do I know what else I don't know?

I don't think it's that complicated. If it's on here or the guide, and ONLY on here or the guide, you don't know it. If it's also on your respective IU board, or you heard it from one of your teammates or a character, you know it.

The only way I can think of right now is this:
- what you read here is out of game
- if you read it somewhere else (a mail you receive, a post at IU) is in-game

Anyway, in this particular case, we had in-game clues leading to alecia anyway: the bomb was tracked to Washington, where she is located

Razz
Here I go again with my IG/OOG ranting.

We're roleplaying, sure. We need to keep stuff in-game, sure. I'm in Ideltech, so I don't know IG that Alecia planted the explosives. So I'll just keep that out-of-game and play on like a nice, responsible ARGer.

Waitasec...

No I won't. I can't. IG I should be furious at The Restorers and pursue a course of action to bring them and Thadd down. Except I won't. Why would I? I know Alecia is responsible. Why would I waste time barking up the wrong tree IG when OOG I know the truth?

If we all have knowledge of everything, we can't expect the story to progress naturally. We will necessarily be influenced by the OOG knowledge we all share with each other here. How can I expect the entire community to honestly not let OOG information affect their IG actions? I can't. It will never happen. Do you see any chat in the Ideltech forum that is railing against the supposedly culpable Thadd? There isn't any. The boundry between IG/OOG has already been fundamentally (and probably irreversibly) blurred. OOG info will affect the way each of us plays.

That's cool. I don't have a problem with that. Let's roll with it. Let's just not act like in-game is really in-game. In-game is in-game and out-of-game all wrapped up together. Of course we could also go that extra yard, stop using UF, use only IU, stop sharing info, and make in-game really mean in-game. I don't hate the nice folks at UF, but if AWARE is going to impose a sort of IG/OOG "curtain" on the players as well, let's make it a nice solid one.

P.S. - Sorry that was so long!

It can be difficult. But for one thing, we have little reason to suspect Thad, without oog knowledge. His fingerprints were all over. So what? He worked there, and he would nto be stupid enough to plant a bomb and leave his prints around. But the codes on OE do describe the building blowing up. So In game, we have every reason to suspect Alecia and little to suspect Thad.
