[Trailhead]Fragmin Stems

Posting this in news and rumors from the "Could that email or IM be a trailhead, or SPAM?" thread.

Trailhead E-mail:
Quote:
Hello, my name if Fragmin.
I live in a different space/time than yourself.
Homo sapiens are not the ruling species in this place.
Both our realities are extremely alike, in almost every way.
The only difference is that, we here are aware of other realities
And we in fact use your reality's 'internets'.

Let me tell you the entire point of this 'email'.
What you would consider our 'election day' is close at hand.
The clear winner in this 'election' has devised a new 'law'
that they intend to enact once in office.
It is my job to have 'both sides' to the 'argument' before the new person 'takes office'

However, this clear winner has not told anyone of this plan, or this 'law'
Save for a few of his closest supporters, and colleagues.
Word cannot get out of this plan before it is submitted to become a 'law'
Not in our reality, that is...

So, using your reality's 'internet' I have created something known as a 'forum'
Upon this forum I would enjoy it if you and all of your friends 'registered'
This forum will be a debate forum, one section for the 'law's' supporters
One section for those who are against this 'law'
A section for discussion between the two sides
And a section for people to post their created campaign posters.

Now, You may wonder why I would want to have this forum, and your opinions
As I said, our realities are quite similar, and as such, our arguments for and against things are similar as well
I want to know the arguments for both sides of this plan before it is sent to public opinion
And the truth is, I am sort of 'on the fence' as you would say.
So, I need to know what the likely majority will think and say,
As well as, if it is put into place, and passed, what are the possible rammifications
I need to know...

...is it worth it?

So here it is,
your chance to help.
Every post you make on the forum will be a huge help for me.
I will post on both sides, and in the discussion areas as well.
I am both supporter and Devil's Advocate to both sides.
In addition to all the discussion in regards to this 'law', there is a 'poster' contest.
Anyone on the forum may post a 'poster' or 'sign' in support of their personal view.
And everyone can 'vote' as to which one you like best.
This is not a 'for' versus 'against' contest, but a mere contest of votes.
The created 'poster' on each side of the argument with the most votes, will be distributed to the people in my reality.
If you are lucky, the winner may recieve something special as well...

If you are interested in helping me, please, 'email' me at fragmin.stemsSPLATgmail.com
Once you do, I will tell give you the logistics on the possible future 'law'.
I do warn you, however, that this law, has the ability to save the world...
or to pit every single person on it against each other...

I eagerly await your response...

-Fragmin Stems

Haha, long time no see, N&R peeps Smile

I emailed him back saying it'd be cool to follow it, and asking him where his IRC channel is and where his forums are.

EDIT: Been talking to him a bit and set up an IRC channel, called #fragmin.

K, this is the conversation we had that he wanted me to tell folks about.

Quote:
18:31 FragminStems: 'hi'?
18:31 Fencer: Hello!
18:31 Fencer: You did it!
18:32 FragminStems I did 'it'!
18:32 Fencer: Why do you type in quotations so much?
18:32 Fencer: Like 'this'?
18:34 FragminStems: Well (not a 'literal' well, there is no water in this chat) I said in my 'blog' that I 'use' those when a 'word' has multiple 'meanings' or I am not sure it is 'used' corectly
18:35 Fencer: Ah.
18:35 Fencer: For the record, you have used all the words correctly so far.
18:35 Fencer: You have a blog?
18:36 FragminStems: Yes! I 'blog' in the 'internets' on 'frequent' occassionalties
18:36 Fencer: What is the URL for your blog?
18:37 FragminStems: I do not mean 'rudeness', but I am not 'sure' we are 'friends' yet...
18:38 Fencer: Oh, I see Smile
18:38 Fencer: In our world, many people who aren't friends still read other people's blogs.
18:39 Fencer: But I understand if you don't want me reading it yet Very Happy
18:41 FragminStems: I am 'more than' sure you are a 'nicer'. But I am 'waiting' for more of your kind who want to be 'friends' of Fragmin, 'before hand' (which I do not 'get,' because I have 'heard' humans only have a 'left' and 'right' hand)
18:41 Fencer: ah.
18:42 Fencer: I'll see if I can spread your story around.
18:42 FragminStems: You are a very 'nicer', Fencer!
18:43 Fencer: Thank you Smile
18:44 FragminStems: I am having 'friends' in the 'internets', and I am having 'emails' now too. I enjoy 'all' of that.
18:44 Fencer: Good.
18:45 FragminStems: Are you not having more 'questions' for Fragmin?
18:46 Fencer: Yes Razz
18:46 Fencer: I was wondering what this 'law' is that you were talking about?
18:48 FragminStems: Oh, yes, 'the law' that started 'the plan'. I don't 'knew' if you are 'ready' for that. It is very important though...
18:49 Fencer: How can I become ready?
18:50 FragminStems: When you seem 'decided' to 'the cause'
18:50 FragminStems: Tell me, is you of the 'age' that is of age to be 'voting' in your world?
18:52 Fencer: It is eighteen years old.
18:52 Fencer: I am currently not able to vote, though.
18:52 FragminStems: But that is the good'
18:52 FragminStems: Forgive me 'the good'
18:53 Fencer: That is good?
18:53 Fencer: Why is it good?
18:54 Fencer: I'm sorry-- I have to go now.
18:54 FragminStems: I have you and 'Charlieol', that are going to be 'strong', and going to have the right to 'stand' and 'take a stand'! (Though, do not take a stand 'literal', I have 'heard' it is called stealing and 'bad things happen'.)
18:55 Fencer: I have to go eat dinner. Please email me anything else you have to tell me
18:55 Fencer: Goodbye!
18:55 FragminStems: Oh my, that is 'well' all right.

I got the email at 10:14am this morning, much later than most of those that had gotten it already.

Guess he's just going down the list one step at a time...

I got the e-mail this morning as well. Unfortunately I think I'm a little busy ATM to play this one, but I'll probably follow along.

Actually, this look 'suspiciously' like a 'campaign' to get people to 'vote'.

Or 'maybe', some 'sicko' just wanted to 'annoy' the 'crap' out of 'everyone'.

I read through those emails and can't help but put. particular. emphasis. on certain. words.

My mental monologue has turned into William Shatner.

I remember someone talking during Red Monday about how government agencies could, very easily, diguise legitimate problems as ARGs and get so many more people and resources at their fingertips. It almost seems like this is some sort of public-opinion poll.. very cleverly disguised, mind you.

Or i'm just crazy.

Public opinion poll: I doubt it, but who knows?

Laughing that reminds me of this science teacher I had. She'd pause...after every second...or third...word. It was so annoying. ((Sorry, getting off topic now.))

*me pushes thread back on... topic*

He has a blog: http://smetsnimgarf.blogspot.com (note its fragminstems backwards). I like this one especially:
Quote:
I finally found out what an 'Eyearesee' is, and I tried to 'connect' to a 'server'. So, I randomly chose a 'server'. i chose irc.starchat.net and I chose a channel of #america-debate because it had the most 'number' of 'people' in it. they did not like the idea of multiple realities. and they do not like anyone who is a 'communist', or a 'marxist', or a 'satanist'.

I have no idea what those words 'mean', but I did get the 'concept' of a 'permanent ban' quickly...


We're chatting with him right now and a log will go up ASAP.
