Sides

Thanks Mirror. After thinking about it I believe I signed up for Beacon of Light/Shadow in the Darkness on the LIGHT side. I usually try and choose light over dark. I see the name has been changed to Umbrati now - so was a little behind.

I recieved this too, I signed up for the light side, and it was sent to the email addy I used for this game (I've started a new account for games since then that is listed in the contact info thread).
I'm pretty new so I can't think what else it could be.

ETA- I've emailed back, if I get a response I'll post it.

I've received the email too.

The heart I think that it can refer to The Sacred Heart like Agent Lex said.

and for the beggining and for this quote from the email:

'For a thousand years the two sides have struggled in the daylight, in the darkness, blinded by anger and devotion to a pointless cause.
Only after the lost ones are found can the real struggle be truly won.'

I think it may refer to the War in Heaven.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_Heaven

EDIT: I found this site who talks about the fallen angels (the lost ones) and names them the fallen Grigori:

Yeah, I got the e-mail last night myself.

I don't know Ursula Le Guin's works myself, but could the e-mail have anything to do with that?

Being in seminary, I'm well aware of the Biblical possibilities of this e-mail... all "seventy times seven" of them. Laughing

I am so confused... where is the Trailhead? I cannot find it using search. There's a lot of threads all of a sudden, some locked.

Anyone understand any of this?

I also got the email.

Complete tangent: I leave this game alone to work on finals for a week, and look what happens. sigh. Oh well, here we go!

Also, do we have IRC channels yet? If not, do we want them?

More thoughts to come.

P.S. All this trailhead locking/unlocking and stuff is very confusing. IMHO, this needs to get moved to CF with potential ASAP, because I get the feeling it is going to explode.

@Holmes, I think we all agree with you on that one. 11 pages on less than a trailhead, 49 for pre-trailhead, etc. etc. This is gonna be at least CF material. Anyways, we are in the irc #pastry for obvious reasons. haha

As far as I can tell you either got the package or the email. Anyone get both? And checking the rosters, both sides did indeed get the email.

wow, i sorta zoned out on this whole thing, as when i first signed up it said i would be contacted when the game started. then i got the email a little while ago, and realized there was already a lot of information that had gotten figured out.

as for the websites, i'm guessing we still don't have the password? especially since the email says "the doors wield locks for which there are no keys."

also, yes, this is all very confusing with all the millions of threads and whatnot.
