 		4th Counter Intelligence Division
Youth Organization Now Recruiting
I sent an email to parousiaministrySPLATgmail.com detailing a recent spiritual awakening that my new character had. In my character's vision, God pointed out the one and only true church (guess which one!). Well, here's the response I got:

In God we Trust wrote:
We indeed live in dark and dangerous times. We believe that the age of Tribulations is upon this generation. Your spiritual awakening is one among many. I do not know your age, but certainly we always have a place for those that come to us. Apart from belonging to a church that does its very best to bring God to this world, you can also be part - if you wish- of a small group of men and woman fighting to see that our vision is fulfilled. We are specifically recruiting for the 4th 'division' of our youth organization. It is certainly one that seeks to find those that try to place barriers on our path.

Victory is upon us. I hope to hear from you soon.

Attached is the logo of the 4th 'counter intelligence' division. More information will be available on our website soon.


Initially, I wasn't certain who to send my email to, so I carbon-copied the entire thing to areyoufollowingthisSPLATgmail.com. I got a reply from 0 1 which confused me:

0 1 wrote:
I hope that they didnt noticed this email on the header. dont forget to always Bcc.


I couldn't tell if this was an OOG comment, or if it entailed some sort of odd connection between 0 1 and the church, so I left it alone. Did I miss something about 0 1? Anyway, that's that. Oh, and I think the color on http://parousiaministry.t83.net/ was changed...


Whipping Boy #1 done good? Yes? Have rest now?


P.S. 300th post! As Whipping Boy, I think the occasion warrants me an extra hour of sleep. Drool

@Zaranai>> The image looks like a combo of a DNA strand and the atomic energy symbol.

'Iconoclast' literally means a breaker of religious symbols.

The gun is definitely an AK-47.
Wiki: "It was one of the first true assault rifles and, due to its durability and ease of use, remains the most widely used assault rifle in the world. More AK-type rifles have been produced than any other assault rifle."
Ordell: "When you absolutely, positively got to kill every mother****er in the room. Accept no substitutes."

@Omega>> I read the comment as in game. Bcc to 0 1 because you are keeping him informed of your infiltration attempts... And yeah, ya done good!
4th Div. Okay, who reads Hebrew? Kos?

ETA 300th post? In this thread? Bah!

 		Lol, he meant his 300th post, Pancito. ;P And I agree with you, Omega, the church's front page has changed. That red circle wasn't there before, was it?

Googling Iconoclast doesn't get us anywhere, sadly. It's the name of a game universe that's been around since 96, apparently... Talk about needle in the haystack if we are meant to find anything IG about it.

I'm thinking the photo is of "the big attack on October 19, 2009" that 0 1 talks about in his "go on your own" message. It's dated Oct 20th, but it could be of the aftermath, especially if this attack happened late at night.

/e goes back to playing with the Wiki using context clues for translation. >Very Happy

 		Aha... See, I was scared away by the massive size of the BoL/SiD thread and have never read it. XD

I did sign up as a Shadow simply for the promise of chocolatey deliciousness, though. ;D

ETA: And, btw, Apolli says on her Facebook that the dead person in Japan who previously owned her cat was a he. I'm guessing that rules out fake-Yori?

I didn't realize he was against the church. Embarassed I've only been loosely reading the replies from 0 1. Guess I missed that rather important detail.

@Omega - great work! Thank you!
I have to figure out, whether there is english interface on a wiki. But if you have some questions, feel free to ask, because the source is international wiki standard, only the labels such as "Intro" = "Einführung" etc. are in German.

I'm working on it Smile

UPDATE. The killed friend of Polina seems to be not Yori.
I asked her in the cat picture comment:

Quote:
What a cute cat! I love his eyes Smile
But what was happened to your friend? It sounds very terrible!


and she answered now:

Quote:
He died in a car accident Sad


i.e.: it was a man and it was an accident.

But I'm sure, on the meta we will get some more intertextualities like he will surely like Koi and play with a watergun in office... (ok, future tense is inb this case a little bit wrong...)

P.S. That watergun thing killed me. As Yori, that cute and sympathetic girl, brought as a joke a watergun in her office, and then the office was assaulted with hard weaponed Army and Yori sat with her damn plastic watergun under a table and cried for help... I won't forget it. Never.

 		I can't speak Hebrew, but I think the Hebrew letters are RZYAL, Raziel or Secrets of God.

I wasn't around for VITD or Con08, so I'm kind of in the dark about a lot of the subtleties going on here. Anyone want to recommend a good Wiki or resource website for VITD and Con08 so I can catch up?


ETA: Thanks, kosmopol!

I got a message from PatRol, who noticed I'd made a userpage on the ARGR wiki site saying I was lost because I couldn't read German. He asked if anything was wrong with the wikis or if it was just the language thing, and when I said it was just language he sent this:
PatRol wrote:
You can change the language settings of the Wiki on the upper right corner of the wiki. There are some links right next to your username. One of them is called "Einstellungen". Click on it and you can change your account details.

Within that List of input-fields and drop-down lists, there is one entitled with "Sprache der Benutzeroberfläche:" Click on that drow-down list and change it to your language. Save your account details after that the whole userinterface of the wiki will be in English.

Maybe we should put this somewhere in the wiki, so that other native English speaker can change the user interface of the wiki to their language Smile

Best regards,
Patrol


You guys have no idea how relieved I was when I got that fixed. No idea at all. XD I sent him another message back saying they should put a link to such a page in the toolbox or something that says "Is this the only link you can read? Click here!" cause it'd make me laugh.

VITD wikis are:
http://vitd.wikidot.com/
http://vitd.wikispaces.com/

But Con08 unfortunately has no wiki. Perhaps it should be good, to write one. If I'll find time, I'll make it.

Otherwise here are two Thread to conspiracy, there is everything in it (Prepare for long reading Smile).

Oh, that is great help! Thanks to you and PatRol Smile I will link the language-change thing on a wiki.

Update: I posted a language change notification on a wiki.
