Gail,

Your emAil was foRwardEd to me bY a friend. I am extremely interested in assisting at yOUr new gAming faciLity. How would I go about applying to woRk there? I am a recent college graduate, and I majored In marketinG, with a concentration in advertising and a minor in englisH. I believe I could be a valueable asseT to your company. I am brIght and a fAst learner, and I aM proficient in Microsoft Office products. I HavE lots of expeRiEnce wiTh gaming because I used tO be my college's Video Game Club President for 2.5 years. I've also been an avid gamer since I was a little kid. THE prospect of virtuaL reality also aPpeals to me, as it is the next step in all things gaming and marketing.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

~Amanda~


In it I say:

As far as pOssibly parTicipating in the study, that shOUldn'T be a prOblem whether staFf member or not, more tHAn likely easier as a staff member to be fair. There are toNs of duplicate forms and Declerations to fill out if you aren't part of the team previously, you know?

Ok so to get started. PROFESSOR FORESTER is the main man to speaK to but most of the time he's extremely busy so you would Need tO report to his number two Worker, Patricia Valentine. She will be able to aSsist you with Anything in regards to Board meetings, extra curricular activities and things arOUnd abouTs in those fields although PROBabLy not so much about thE gaMing or reSearch, although With those issues, myself Or Riley (WilkiNs) along with Paul MasTers can proviDe yOu with ANYTHING you need.

Now, with all that souNdly said and donE, I bid you farEwell anD a SpEedy response to this CommUnicitive email isn't Really nEcessary but appreciated. I'lL be IN touch soon Enough.

PROFESSOR FORESTER KNOWS ABOUT PROBLEMS

Very Happy I wonder who Forester is and what the problems are. Working on an email now. How would we go about getting a secure line?

EDIT: Going to try the other names that she gave me in emails. Let you know what I get.

EDIT2: So far nothing on the emails.

Tried the following, mirroring them after gail's address:

forester.professorSPLATgooglemail.com - doesn't exist (though I may have to have his first name...)
valentine.patriciaSPLATgooglemail.com - doesn't exist (yet?)
wilkins.rileySPLATgooglemail.com - doesn't exist
masters.paulSPLATgooglemail.com - didn't bounce back, waiting...
and in attempt to see if there might be diversions of the names:
valentine.pattySPLATgooglemail.com - didn't bounce back, waiting to see if it worked or if it and paul will be RL people that I just confused the hell out of lol


-Professor M. Forester. CEO: Apace Mindset.
Look a few post above, he responds to people who have used an application form on their website

You can fill it out on http://www.apacemindset.com/?p=drive Wink

 		Okay wow, I got a reply from Leon King via email:

Leon wrote:
Okay, who are you?

I was told that my gaming process was a beta test trial and that nobody would know about it? The Government apparently doesn't agree with what Apace are doing, think it's immoral or whatever? I on the other hand thinks it's freakin' great! I mean imagine the possibilities!?

And besides... With the fact that I'm possibly dying (no offence, would rather not discuss my illness) I thought hey, what the hell! You only live once right?

Goway was an imp, an imp whom I met in a game I played about a year or so ago... A game I had created with my own mind, my own imagination with the help of course of books; Stephen King etc. But I tell you now it's fantastic! The experience at least...

Except of course one of my old Professors, the guy you mentioned, Broxbourne. He tried to warn me away from it all, said he had worked somewhat on some of the stuff A.M did and it wasn't all about Gaming. But, by that point it was too late. I'll tell you something for nothing though, those games mess with your head; once you're inside you know NOTHING about the outside world, you seem to forget absolutely everything that has happened before you enter that world. - And they say you can contact people through space, time and other dimensions IE: I guess the way some people contacted me when I was A.M-Gaming.

At first I thought they were real, the surroundings were real, but now that I'm out of the A.M building here I realize I must have been chatting with people in the "real" world. I wonder if they knew I was inside a "game" - They tried explaining something to me (A.M) once before, said that warning a player they're playing a game is like trying to wake a dreaming dog; it should never be done.

...Wait, you said Diane had been experiencing things right? Well, I told her to visit A.M and join a game once they went Global. This was about a month or so ago.The last communication I got from her was on AIM telling me she'd met up with a guy called Lance and a girl named Maria who were beta testing on Sector XII; she and a couple of others recieved trial invites about two weeks later.

So this is all my fault, right?


I posted this over in the Weirdnesscity thread too inviting them to help us!!

My reply:

Quote:
Leon,

My name is Ari and I live in Florida. Me and a group of friends been in contact with Lance Denison, Maria McMichael, Diane Vail, Shawn Bree, Laura White, Rickey Mattews and Robbie Sheppard. They live in a London where they're the only people left in the city, maybe their world. Diane said you knew a lot about this type of space/time stuff and to seek you out. Thats how we discovered you and your past blog.

My condolinces about your illness.

Are all the games created borrow creative ideas from players minds? Like you said Stephen King. Lord of the Rings, etc. Have there ever been player that play the same game together? Or is it unique to each persons mind?

What is Sector XII? Is that the gaming department or it Apace Mindset devoted to gaming?

Do you know an Amelia or Jane?

No, this isn't your fault buddy. But your continued help would be appreciated! I submitted an application to ApaceMindset but haven't heard anything. I'd be interested in learn more. I included my phone number on their web page.

Thanks you for your time,
Ari / Brave777


Hmm, it may be interesting that he mentioned Stephen King.

I posted a comment on Diane's blog tell her what Leon said.

From Leon's comment I think we should be careful about what we say to Diane and the others.

It might help if we found out from Leon how he managed to end his game.

Yeah I thought about that too. Okay, well I'll delete my comment to Diane. Should we tell her or just try to steer her out of the game?? The info could prod the story line, but also may have an odd effect.

Thoughts?

 		Maybe we should try to steer her in the right direction to help her figure it out herself. I don't know if she is in any danger at the moment. There is always the possibility that if she was hurt in the game it could affect her in real life. You never know.

More info from Leon would be useful. I'll send him an email.

So, let me get this straight. Some techie created a Virtual Reailty game world that creates itself from the person's own mind? And we think that everyone in the Lif3 game is hooked up to it? We've been talking to...what all this time? Was Lance, Shawn and the others VR people or actual people? Is Robbie and Diane "real"? i know this is all a ARG, but...

It would explain the "end of phase one" email we got from Lance, and why email contacts were off and why they stopped talking to us....

Well. I'd be more inclinded to say that they're playing a game that puts you in a different dimension or alternate reality(think Sliders). They're all hooked up to this gaming machine(or were even transported), but there's some trans-dimensional communication or overlap. I think some weirder things will start to happen as the game glitches. It IS in beta after all right? I dunno, that's my two cents.

I'm going to guess that Leon's still in Cali. So we should be communicating with him later than with Diane damn it.

Uhhh... Yu-Gi-Oh? I know what it is, just not that much about it. Its like Pokemon with cards right? Hehe, that'd be great if they found Pokemon in London.

I sent an email to Lance, Shawn and Maria:
Quote:
Hey you guys there at all? Getting email yet?
-Ari/Brave777


Has anyone tried destegging/camouflaging Daine's new pics? Someone should.
