@Leyton: Assuming that your post will help to get this thread back on the game-track I think you did the right thing.

@conspirator, the 555 was found yesterday. The obelisk is 555 feet high so it probably refers to the Monument itself.

I mailed the Benefactors yesterday and suggested that winning AT over would help their cause much more than trying to get rid of him. I also told them I won't associate with any violent group. Their answer:
Quote:
That is your path. To take.

- The Unity

So, I guess, I am now an EX-recruit. Dunno

Regarding Halflife3: I looked for a subdirectory or HTML-page with that name on ATs blog but got nothing.

OOG (irrelevant) -- just for fun

ah my dear old friend elendal.... I would say they do not search for the one but for its source. Would you not agree everything is not quite as Castaneda said it would be. Perhaps it is not just an interpretation issue but then... the books, oh the books, how to let go of what was learned in books.

Did J. fail to see he was led to water? I found it interesting how the system could not adjust and simply ignored what was beyond its own comprehension Wink A ghost perhaps how else would you explain it? At least even J. recognized there was a splinter in the loop.

Sometimes we step out into the wild to do what appears to be magic to those who watch. If the sleight of hand cannot be seen then what else can you call it? Even the Oracles at Delphi got it right sometimes. To deny them or ignore them is the privilege of kings, I ask you; who pays the price for such arrogance? They do not like what they hear so choose to make it go away.

Politics is not my forte; just an old warrior ensuring the right thing is done when innocence is involved. Then again sometimes those we least expect to be protected by protect us.

I dare not respond to you beyond this. You have enought to worry about without me mudding the waters further. learn to relax and let go.

Q:

who or what is the Echo?

A:

Recruit,

The. Echo. Was the first...betrayer.

He will lie. To all. Of us.

He will shear. The path of Unity. In two.

Do not. Listen to. Echoes.

- Your Benefactors

I've sort of been following this, and recent 'developments' aside, I'm pretty much confuzzled. Is there a wiki? Or could someone throw up a brief recap. I'm catching up on the reading, but that would help me a lot...

Thanks!!

so what is the next bit of the puzzle???? is it only the monument thats left?
thank you Leyton for your clarification that this is an ARG (I hope so!!!!)
it screams the unthinkable to be me still!

I found this post (sorry its from ATS debunk if you like, but there are some real and intelligent people there, as well as the crack pots!)

"Not unless it's meant to keep you guessing. I hope it is a game, but, it's a BS way to operate it. And given the current state of events, it's doubtful anywhere near the most appropriate game to play with people. The posters of this, game, if indeed it is fake and not just hi-level Cyber Terror with low-tech methods to keep you guessing and disbelieving, the posters should be penalized for nothing short of wittingly or unwittingly inciting terror by dropping the site as they did. I mean A Black Op Afoot. Come on.
I am a highly trained CounterTerrorist Operative and Citizen. And although no longer Active, persay, I am considered among those who are Our countries first line of defense against Terrorists. I may have "views" that are "questionable", but, I take my duties very seriously. I am making reports where they need to go. I plugged in the coordinates on a NASA map and I saw a Coastline. I turn on CNN and India's Coastline has had 10 Terror Attacks...convenient. What's more there really is an IEN Network, read my posts. Not Eye but Emergency. Intelligence Emergency Network. I am a former Intelligence operative for the Weapons Dept. of the Navy at the Pentagon. Oh, and there really are designers of portable nuclear reactors. And those False ads, cheap as they look, are written from a Terrorists perspective. If this is a game, it's a highly, highly, dangerous game, because if I were of the Enemies mentality I could use my inside knowledge and contacts (maybe if I were Enemy- minded I'd be aware of others who were, too) and turn this little "fantasy" as you believe it is into a reality. If it's a game. It probably needs to be outed quick. This Scenario IS a THREAT TO (GLOBAL)NATIONAL SECURITY. If for no other reason than it's damn near the perfect scenario and Terrorist cells in over 80 Countries with financial backing out the ass to latch on to it. Or, as I suggested, maybe they already have.
The Perfect Conspiracy don't you think. What if this Thread became the most popular one on ATS and spread like wildfire who'd put the Genie back in the bottle then. It would be a "Monument" as the e-mail posted earlier suggested. Unfortuanately without the true source of this, it cannot be confirmed as a game. Nor can the damage such game has possibly done be measured, has it spread the idea to the wrong heads already? Is this and the UN site the only sites with this. And if not should it be discontinued until the actual source is found. Not being paranoid, by far, just using common sense and prior operational field experience."

I'm out.

Yeah, you know what? I think the PM's have handled this poorly from the start. Between involving ATS and posting here the whole thing is really sloppy. I'm officially out of this one and I don't think they should be encouraged to continue the way they have been. Sorry, just my opinion.

Leaving the Game
or did the game leave us?

Yeah, I'm out too.

Between the cross-postings of the AT folks' fretful gushings and the erratic "gameplay", I'm just not having any fun.

Happy trails. Maybe I'll see some of you on another journey. Thanks for welcoming a noob. Very Happy

I have my doubts that any of the people posting here are involved in the actual game (sorry, I don't know the lingo and abbreviations). Like usual, when an ARG slows down for a day, all the weirdos come out of the woodwork and post as if they are In Game. I think it's just the CTs finding something to latch on to. I'd hope the game would pick up soon to keep things moving, but if things don't continue rolling soon, I'll be out too. Oh well, it was fun for a moment.

Since when? I've never had this happen on any ARG I've played when it's slowed down... - Delphi wasn't posting as being "I.G" S/he was posting their email correspondence between themselves and The Benefactors. This is what I get from it anyway.

But @ the same time why have TB not responded to my email earlier when this all hit the fan?

Thanks Raltenbach--while I was debating whether to continue to ignore these trolls and threadjackers or to make a short post stating their intrusion here is deplorable, you posted above reflecting my feelings precisely.

You've been here as long as me when have you ever witnessed trolls coming out of the woodwork when a game slows pace? 0_o lol
