It's probably apropos to point out the black-on-black text at the top of the page the squid made for my soldier photo: "Support the people, not the ideology."

I'm waiting on mine as well, although I did mention it to him yesterday on AIM:

You win whatever half of the internet I didn't give to Squid last night.

Also, as far as the "sending erotic poetry to important people..." Squid's an important person, as far as this game goes. Seems like a safe alternative for people who kinda-sorta want to keep their dignity, as well as a fun way to turn his own mission against him XD

Also also: DELICIOUS CAKE YOU MUST GET IT.

I havent looked on EVERY page so lemme share some stuff I found


The black on Black text, some pages with red text have more to them, just highlight the page and it reveals some hidden words:

http://www.freewebs.com/vampiresquid/fall/random.htm

And the links, like by clicking the M in "the truth is coming" and then clicking "chat", you can click the first 0 in august 2008, it brings up an interesting page.

Hey, thanks Illy. I was that guest. Which half of the Internet did the squid leave me?

By the by, I thought I had spotted all the pages by now, but I missed the 'random' page. Where'd you find the link to that one?

Also, I too am awaiting a response from the squid. I emailed him a story (just an irrelevant thing, something I'd written a long time ago) with a message embedded in it. The title of the email was "Support the people, not the ideology," and embedded into the story were a series of bolded letters that ROTted to "Brilliant idea, but how?"

Of course if the squid is dead now, there might not ever be a response.

He's not dead, so far. And we're talking to Instant tonight. She's...12, if I can remember correctly.

No, sorry, he's not dead, not according to Instant. Just damaged, somehow. Please excuse the disinformation.

Just follow the directions I put on bottom and click the circled guys pic, then highlight the text in the corner(top left)


*EDIT* **the red words saying "get in the car Sad" were already in the pic, not by me.**

Hey guys, just putting in my opinion. The missions are completley stupid/optional/lack alot of relevance to the actual. I think the PM was just trying to keep the few of us at the chat busy with some tasks we talked about there. lol

Ah- thanks. Any thoughts on the golden apple farther down the page? The fnord makes me wonder if it's a nod to the second Illuminatus! book.

The golden apple symbolizes chaos. After being snubbed by not being invited to a party, the Greek goddess Eris went and tossed a golden apple into the group of Hera, Aphrodite, and Athena. The golden apple held an inscription saying it was for the most beautiful one, and well, you know how goddesses can get.

The apple has come to symbolize Discordianism and chaos, and is one of Eris' symbols. My guess is it's a reference to the change, or chaos, brought about by revolutionary thought and revolutionary action.

Or it's a little nod to another game I remember. Possibly both.

essentially the missions are just to keep us entertained until sept 1st and hold not relevance. It's been kinda the theme through here.
