Kind of a preamble to PO2, I guess....
Hey, how do we tell if we're an 'official' participant? I can't remember...
When PO ended the website stated that it was respawning with (some number I think in the 80's) new participants. It then showed a list of about 10 of us then stated the list was truncated. My name was there, Leyton's I think Lu's. But pretty much if you were ever logging into the PO website I think you are on the list.
@coffee and Leyton Play nice you two.
I am planning on emailing becs as soon as I get back to my home email.

She already said she was going to use her blog. She did specifically ask for 1 email. Participants work for Jason. All I see is that you go from one ARG to another, quoting and posting, but never really being part of the team. If you want to do it your way, that's fine. I'll give the list to becs and tell her that the rest will contact her themselves.
edit: Done, sent it. I'm out. Have fun.

Well I sent this tonight:
Quote:
Becs,
Long time no hear. I am glad to hear that you are working on getting your life back under control. I hope the information that Coffee is sending you will be useful in your talks with your counselor . I hope you really do begin updating your blog, I would like to hear more of what you and Martin were put through and writing about it may help you move on.
Stay in Touch
fishjp
We'll see what happens.

Okay seriously there's no need to argue w/ me.
She said in the email she sent me, she may start a NEW blog... And I've seen that she says "send 1 email w/ your collab experiences" - That did not mean nobody else was able to email her. And like I said from what I was politely informed, she was wanting to txt me and my phone number she had was no longer in use. - Wow, seriously chillax, I emailed someone.
Also... I've only ever actually been involved in 48 HiP and the original P.O so how your last comment come attempted put-down really made any sense CB, is beyond me. But whatever.

This kinda makes sense that it's starting in the beginning of May....because isn't the LHC due to start firing sometime soon?
EDIT: Just checked Google-- the particles will be 'injected' in mid-June and they aren't going to actually start accelerating them until August T_T

Due to events beyond her control Coffee was unable to post this and asked me to share it with the group.
Here is what Coffebean sent along with email addy's of those who replied:
Quote:
Becs,
Here's what you asked for and I wish you well. I won't be able to help
further. The others will contact you themselves, as I posted your email
where they can find it easily. Sorry it's kind of vague for the details, as
it happened a few months ago.
Jason was running an ARG, Project Ophiuchus, that Becca and Martin were
playing. At the point that it became overwhelming for Becca and Martin,
they sought outside help. They placed clues everywhere they could, which is
how we, the participants, became involved. We managed to overload the
security system at P.O. while Becca was able to delete the main database.
It still remains questionable whether respawning will occur with or without
effected data in the future.
Here is What Becs replied with:
Quote:
What you've done is a great start! I guess I was originally thinking it could
be more detailed, like a report with key things that happened and how you guys
all worked together to overcome them. Does that make a little more sense? Ooh
or how about just a list of things that you had to do together - like all of
the authorisation files and everything else along with some comments on each.
Did you struggle? Did you find it easy? How did you help?
I'll keep hold of the email addresses and if you can't help further, I'd
appreciate if you could pass it on to someone who could. Thanks for your help,
it's greatly appreciated.
Becs x
So any ideas on what we could add?

It is real (confirmed through OOG sources by Leyton), But it does not appear to be starting, more of a "is anyone REALLY still interested in this?" kinda thing. It looks like we can expect Becs to update her blog and some minor things to happen while gearing up for the main event.

Anyone else think its odd that Becs is asking for Info she has? What if this is Jason/Dani trying to find out what we did to his systems so we cant do it again?

I'm unsure of how Becs would have gotten 1in50 to allow him to use their email functions after everything... Plus I do believe the txt messages came from Becs, so UNLESS she's been compromised.

FYI, I know that some of you were wondering about logging back into PO's website.. I have done it several times (wishing & praying) and it does still work.. even the chat room is still open and running

Gotta love that chat room. It's just not the same with Moon idling in there though
Anyways, want me to come up with some more detail? I did spend most of the game typing a fair bit of the Wiki, so I know a good lot of what happened. I probably spent more time chronicling than playing
In any case, I think we should take a few comments from each of the players to add into whatever we send. If you're up for it, try to comment on different parts to get a bit of variety.

highwind, yes please do. As I said before, I came in late, and it was my first ARG, so I wasn't a lot of help. Here's a brief write up of the CERN map search...
At one point we were asked to look at a map of the CERN project to find a password to unlock one of the puzzles. There were four or five people actively searching for maps of the site that might prove useful and many more trying to interpret them. I recall that when we finally got the puzzle key it turned out that we were searching in too much detail. Still, at the time there were many people who knew the roads around the supercollider, where the cafeterias are, and many more details as we poured over the maps we had found in minute detail. These games are like that. You get involved...

The thing I recall most vividly was the search for someone in the Dallas area to retrieve the memory stick from the library. It seems like the better part of a month was eaten up in that search. (Although I think it was less than 3 days.)
I also remember waiting for the PO Mainpage source code to update every day at Midnight GMT (which was 6pm in my time zone, right when work ended)
ETA:
Just received this email:
Quote:
Hi Guys,
Thanks for helping me out with the talk. I really wanted to say thank you, so I've got you some small thank you gifts. Only problem is that I can't send them without knowing your address, so if you could pass it on that'd be great!
Don't worry, I won't use it for anything apart from this
I'll update my blog next week about the talk!
Thanks again,
Becs x
So of course I sent off my mailing address right away. Now as long as no one kicks in the door over night....
