Ashby Flea Market

So it seems to me from sifting through all these things the only obvious next move would be to try to chase down Ceshwan and Timecraft 13. Since according to that card: "Throughout San Francisco & Oakland, you will occasionally spot TIMECRAFT 13. It is a real vehicle in actual time/space Within that vehicle is a "man" named [descriptor omitted]. When you see the vehicle, approach the man and he will offer you a detailed presentation on the age old philosophy of End Times Preparedness. Gain intelligence. Take detailed notes."

It links to photos of the van uploaded Oct 15 which has quite the many stickers on it:

I have never seen this van ever. I am thinking we got to search it out. The Ashby Flea Market is every Sat and Sun from 7am-7pm. I'm assuming he'll be there. Right?

I think you may be right liz... I thought the exact same thing. Maybe we should take a trip to the flea market tomorrow..?

EDIT: Also, org... I'm actually very interested in what your take is on "Nonchalance" in general.

newciv

Crawling through the page source of http://www.organelle.org/organelle/index2.html, I came across the following phrase as a keyword: psybiocognitive disordre. As I had never seen this phrase before, I googled "psybiocognitive disorder" and came across the following sites:
http://www.aboutus.org/Organelle.org, which seems to be rather useless, and:
http://www.newciv.org/nl/newslog.php/_v187/__show_article/_a000187-000011.htm, which... doesn't seem useless. I also took a look at the following pages: http://www.newciv.org/nl/newslog.php/_v187/ and just plain http://www.newciv.org/. The former is certainly related, but I can't tell if the second one is in-game or out-of-game (I'm kinda new to this).
Also, if anyone has already mentioned these sites before, let me know. Very sorry.

*sigh* This game is just making me wish even more that I lived in San Francisco. Oh well.

Count me in, though 10am might be a wee bit too early for me. I can try though, BART over there. I'm scrapping my original Saturday idea (for now) because this new stuff has come up. I'll tell you about it tomorrow. Very Happy

nonchalance

Ok So the new login directed me to www.nonchalance.org/denied.htm wthe the message ACCESS DENIED :: Nonchalance quotient too low

Not to be stymied I tried accessing nonchalance.org/granted and was sent to a page that said 'one sek'. This redirected to a page that said 'uh' which just redirected to nonchalance.org. Nothing really major, but if you've got some time to waste, it might not be a bad idea to poke around on that site. I'll be there's something there.

Yeah, it seems like a lot of people are being denied to 3/L/S/3/W/H/3/R/3/

Not sure why... I'm allowed in... Try clearing you cache maybe??

EDIT: And I'm down for going to the flea market on Saturday... I also think we should go to 580 California and see if we can poke around the building some... try to find the 24th floor or something.

Could you be more specific? Or is that the way we 'gain intelligence' Wink

Ashby markey

Sorry for the double post but I can't edit I guess. I don't live far from the Ashby Bart so I'd be happy to meet y'all there. 10am on the day after Halloween might be pushing it though. Can anyone do noonish?

time time is in the head

1. given that it is the morning after halloween, and dia de los muertos (morning prayers need saying, people) could we possibly push the meetup back to about 12 (like MikeBerkeley so eloquently proposed) so those of us coming from the city can have time to get over as well?

2. I presume we'll be meeting by the timecraft, but in the small window universe that he does not align correctly (flux sheets are finnicky even to professionals) and is not there tomorrow morning, I propose we instead meet by the NW corner of the flea market, at Ashby x MLK Jr. way.

3. bring ~$4, there is a truck there with excellent breakfast burritos.

I think 12:00 may work better. It's going to be a late night for me Wink

EDIT: When you first log into the card page... a bunch of type appears. Here is what is says:

Secrets of the Pyramids Revealed! How to make a secret "inverse" book, "Secret" codes, How to build a house for $100, Find cool, valuable, or accidentally deleted genetic information, how to reverse engineer Juvenescence, Secret $1,000,000 schemes, 3D Postcard secrets, Michael Jackson's Werewolf secrets, Arise White Demon, A Ripe Wise Yeoman, Eavesdropping on phone conversations using only a small tin can, NAZI UFO secrets, How to always have enough old comic books, The sound of one hand clapping, Secret underground offensive photo craze, Get the hell out of a parking lot, Hobo Fashion secrets, Silverball Gardens, Hobo secrets.

They'll come after you pushing the technology for transformation and studied spontaneity. You're gonna be just like all those other shells of people stumbling around the streets of San Francisco. THEY are selling seminars in what can only come to you through divine intervention, like a brick hitting you in the face. Mass awareness is a DELUSION. ZEST, Diaretics and Jejunery sell you what you can only learn through feeling the winds and the eating of the grandma's magic spaghetti! Human potential is self-defined. Are we talking about Nonchalance Vs. Nonchalance? Are we talking about the current incarnation of Octavio Coleman? If the answer is yes, then we have cynical Powers-that-be manipulating the situation. If the answer is no then the Powers-that-be have lost control and the opportunists are playing a secret card to shore up their own positions.

Either way Nonchalance exists, but only subterraneanly. It withers and turns to dust upon exposure to air. But in this day, now is the time for cool heads to prevail. Delineations will be made about true nonchalance, false nonchalance, ape nonchalance, honeycomb nonchalance, ecnalahcnon, Nacho Lance, the Shokinaw Squad or Preternatural Ur Nonchaliptids, but these are all just words. Divination tools will be thrown around, chickens will be sacrificed, dice will be rolled, pennies will be thrown, jejune peccadillos and so-far unchallenged attempts to institute a police state will be discussed. But all of this has no bearing on actual nonchalance. Rocks will be overturned, graves unearthed, tunnels explored, holes dug, clouds busted, but there will be no reporting of this. Or, the report will be written on a piece of paper, photocopied & thrown into the wind, to be found by someone like you, folded up and placed under your bed.

Discovering IT, & then making IT easily apparent to others destroys the true nature of IT. When the curtain is thrown back, the spell is destroyed and what good are the destroyers of magic? What horrors will occur to those that break the spell? When they walk the lonely streets, what arcane mathematical emulations will cross into their mind from the echoing infinity of space and rewrite their entire synapse? We've been doing this for hundreds of years. WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS. THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING!

Fire lighters and spot blowers exist in all spheres, but are they truly effective? They ARE at giving heart attacks and ruining the séance. We can make our observations, pleasures and objections heard without succumbing to a tit-for-tat exchange in this non-war. OR ARE YOU BEING DISARMED ALREADY?

Once, these hobos numbered in the thousands and could be found smoking pipes and reading archaic manuscripts in the backs of candy and toy shops and arcades across the known world. Today, they are spread thin and avoid clustering because of the persecution. The Nonchalants have been hunted and tortured for aeons by the emissaries of the machinery. And as their influence has dwindled, the power of False Nonchalance has increased, so, the treachery of systemic delusional slack has poisoned the planet.

Today, the Nonchalants leave secret markings to show the initiated where to look and what is a product of the true, ancient secrets. These things aren't originally pointed out or communicated using words or pictures, but are vibrationally transferred. The Hobos keep tabs on places and inform others using the crystal electro-magnetic photocopier wave machine.

IS THE EPWA making a dent in this FALSE NONCHALANCE? WHAT IS THE EPWA? WHY DOES IT EXIST? I got a fence that needs removing. I can see it going either way. But if they get in my way, i'm gonna go UNDER THEM. IS THE EPWA making a dent in this FALSE NONCHALANCE? WHAT IS THE EPWA? WHY DOES IT EXIST? I got a fence that needs removing.

nonchalance quotient

access still denied for me, even after clearing my cache. do we think captking, you're still allowed in because your nonchalance level has somehow gone up? do we think you can only access the page a certain number of times because your access is denied? i think i accessed it about 3 times before i was shut out...anyway.

i guess i could do the flea market later. i just wanted to go earlier because i actually wanted to go to the flea market at the same time.
