Double agreed.

It could easily be both.
The public may be busy with other games or real life. (People have those? Surprising to me too.)

Also marketing the game can be done in MUCH better ways if you took the time to think about it instead of rushing your game out the door anxiously.

That said, I'm sure Bowty will not post here again.

Well jeese guys, you all really know how to make a person feel good. Maybe there should be another rule that says, if the only reason you intend to post in a thread is to bad mouth someone, then don't post. Oh well, for anyone who wants to follow along here's what comes next.

After going too the beginning of the end and listening to the two mp3s

Hello. Is it on? Listen, I have strick orders not to say much but I will tell you one thing. This man is dangerous. He has the ability to change everything. I'm part of an organization that can help you. Just remember do not anger this man. Work with him. Give him what he wants for now. I will keep in contact. Oh, don't forget to switch to the first message. (end transmission)

Yes, you are almost finished for today. I just need you to answer this question. I came up with a name to call all of you. From here on out you answer to Suicidal Yore Imp. What does this name mean? Make sure you jot this name down. I see you can spell Suicidal. I'll spell the other two words out for you. Y as in yesterday. O. R as in Randy. E as in Ethan and I. M as in Mary. P as in Protect. You have your names now.


In the source code you will see

which leads to

In the source code you realize you need to anagram and the result will be 4 words which are "I am your disciple."
That takes you to: http://www.thegatereaction.com/iamyourdisciple/

You are mine now wrote:

You have finally reached the last phase of the game.
It was festive, don't you agree?
I have one last task for you, in honor of the anniversary.
I want you to take a picture of anything with the words 'I am your disciple' written on it and send it in to me, to show your dedication.

The picture can be of anything you can imagine, as long as the words are visible.
Hopefully you have a large imagination, as I appreciate creativity.

I am in your debt.

Sincerely,
Bowty.

bowty25SPLATgmail.com

P.S. Those who have completed all of these game tasks will be contacted again when the next stage is placed before you.

That's were I'm at now. I'll try to fix an image and send it in.
(edited to add a piece of information that might be needed later and correct spelling)

Well, I've checked his myspace and this is what's on his blog. What do I think? I think it's worth checking out and see what happens next. Could use some help. There is no way of knowing until we try.

Invitations have been sent out. If you have not recieved one, please, still participate. You can find me at TheGateReaction

The invitation is extended

Those who are new might find themselves lost.
For this reason, I have decided to extend the invitation to everyone:

Dear sir/miss,

I have contacted you once before and now is the time. You are cordially invited to participate in an event that I have put together especially for you, but don't be afraid to invite your friends; My hard work should not go unnoticed.

Why, might you ask, are you obligated to participate in this event? My answer is, the virus.
A virus, alien, strange, unknown, unlike anything you could ever imagine, is in my possession. You are the possibility that this particular virus gets released into this world. You hold the key to unlocking pure and utter doom.

You also hold the key to salvation.

Where does it take place? In the infinite space that is the internet, of course.
You will find me at The Gate Reaction.

I hope you understand how truly serious this situation is and I hope you make it to the activities.

Sincerely,
Bowty.


He has 4 friends and at least one if not all 4 may be characters. http://www.myspace.com/hawkjones

WTF it's december 14th?

So check this shit out.
I had a couple of drinks at a bar with some people from work after work. It was a lot of fun and junk.
I also fell down some stairs before I went to work and broke this gate that keeps my niece from falling down the stairs like her dumb ass uncle. So I had to go buy one of those gates from walmart on my way home. Shit wasn't too bad, since I won 55 cents playing video poker, and the gate was exactly $38.55. Obviously, I used that 55 cents to bring it down to 38 bucks.
Weird huh?
Anyway, I guess i'm going to start blogging.
Oh and maybe one day the creepy ass eye won't be my pic anymore too.

Shape up.

So I've been going to the gym lately, it's good times. But I haven't gone in 2 days, I need to keep this up, get in shape. It'd be great.
Maria sent me a comment asking about some date, 2/5/08.
I checked her page, I guess I posted that date, but I don't remember posting that at all. If I did post it, maybe I was drunk or something?
I don't know, maybe i'll remember at some point. It's got to be significant.

All this crap

Buncha crap's been going on I guess, besides the obvious holidays. My computer freaking broke, cost me all this money to fix it.
I was really bored when the com was broke man. Made me realize how much it means to me, as dumb as that sounds.

Man, I can't wait for this cloverfield movie to happen, I'm way over hyping it.

That's really all that's going on though. It's just been a busy few weeks.

What the hell?

I got the weirdest message from some weird profile with the display name B,,xy. This shit doesn't even make sense. This profile also requested me to be a friend. If anyone is interested just let me know, i'll forward the message to you. I added this thing as a friend so you can see what I mean.

Bowty finally sends me something that makes sense

Got this message from this bowty guy, inviting me to something. I don't know, it's really weird. He said I can find him at The Gate Reaction, in the internet. The gate reaction was also spammed all over his myspace. I wonder what that means?
Maybe a website?

Tuesday, February 12, 2008


It took this long for me to finally do this....

So that message I got from bowty a while ago said 'You'll find me at The Gate Reaction.' It's a website.
http://www.thegatereaction.com
After finding it, I realize it's some kind of game, which is strange. It's pretty hard, can't figure it out right now but i'll keep messing with it.
Also, he has an email address there if you need some hints or whatever.

I recommend that you guys check it out, it's creepy.

Sorry for using so much space for these, but I got the feeling that if I don't post them no one is going to take the time to read them.

thanks faeryqueen21, I think he did. I just got a reply from him and a message from Endrid Mercy, LUCU D16, the author of the finalstage2.mp3

Sx Aff to me wrote:

Dear Miss Sylvia,

I would like to congratulate you on completing my test! Believe me when I say that I am most impressed! Your actions have driven me to not release the virus into the public.

Remember that you are now one of my disciples. As you have shown me your dedication in this act of devotion, I believe that you truly are one of my own. There will be more tasks to come, as any disciple will acquire.

Through me you can become enlightened more than ever before possible.

To repay my debt to you, please accept my gift:

I will contact you again soon.

Sincerely,
Bowty

I have now established contact. Await my next message. You will need to work together.


I sent him a reply in rot1 and rot2. Not sure I was suppose to respond, but wanted to let him know I got the message.
