Okay no offence but I got nothing from that whole long chat thing, can we do as the admins/mods ask us normally and just give a brief abbreviation of the chat and the most important/relevant parts?

Thank you guys.


oh, come on. Surely an experienced ARG player/creator such as yourself can understand the chat!

Heh, i'll try my best to summarize:


"Zita" is an incorporeal being on a higher plain of existence that cannot interfere with the natural developments of Mankind. She is part of a collective that has rules of non-interference. (if you've seen Stargate SG-1, Zita is like an Ancient). Anyway, Zita is bending these rules to tell us of these non-linear visions she is having and 13 souls that are a part of it. Her visions are as follows:

"An ivy-covered building, a metal sculpture, a princess, a young blond man."
"Tears. A young boy and a mother."
"Black and white floors, hallways, two halls, blood, a doll, a skull."

When she witnessed these visions, she felt "Happiness, focus, sadness, anger, ambition." These emotions are also non-linear

Zita said that there were souls within her who wish to aid us, and i posted the names above. They are all of Artists, mostly composers and painters.

Some bit of trivia:

In the chat, Zita used the British way of spelling "color", "colour". She also had a very European way of saying things, as if English was a second language. For example, she said "I am of the Earth." and "I use the intenet connection." No one from the UK or America would say "the Earth" or "the internet connection", they would say "I am from Earth" or "I am using a internet connection".

Also, Zita told us to search for her name. Doing so, we got two possible matches: Saint Zita of Italy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Zita) and Zita of Bourbon-Parma of Austria. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zita_of_Bourbon-Parma)

We have a second character, named "Becca Hall". She is a student in the UK who is involved in Zita's visions, namely the one involving "two halls". Becca believes that has to do with her dead sister.

Um, i think that's all. Unless someone else can add anything...

I don't think it's a matter of "can", but a matter of not wanting to read through all the nonsense to get the important pieces

ETA:

It's a lot easier to add large text files as an attachment and then post the main points in the message body. IMO

that's just laziness, then. The chat wasn't that off-topic. It isn't that hard to comb through the transcript.

Thanks so much for that! For whatever reason things weren't making any sense to me until I read your summary. Sometimes you just have to be there I guess. Or maybe I AM lazy Razz In any case, thanks! Now I feel back on track w/ this.

Now the question is what we are supposed to do with this info and why is it important enough for her to be breaking the rules of her kind to tell us?

Question: Do we know if the young boy and a mother are two separate visions or part of the same vision? Should it be matching up that we have 13 souls other than Zita, and then 13 visions? If Becca is linked to the "Two Halls" vision, does that keep that idea?

Young boy and mother as two separate visions makes 13 total.

 		Hmmm...
If there's an equal number of souls to visions, then it's possible that each soul and each vision match-up in some way... Perhaps we can cross-reference?

 		Hi, I'm new to ARG's but this caught my attention so I have done a little bit of digging.

I'm quite interested in the Zita character and after looking around a little bit I found the following Prince Zita:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zita_(Hittite_prince)

I found the letter to an egyptian pharaoh interesting, as this fits in with Zita's chosen code, but beyond that can't find much of interest. It could be a complete dead-end, and apologies if others have also seen this but dis-regarded it already.

Aqua Smile

EDIT: hmm so it's been so long since i last used a forum I don't seem to be able to make the link work, sorry, any help would be much appreciated

Welcome to the forums/ARG Aqua!

Interesting find on the prince - it's definitely possible at this point, but in the chat we had - Zita said to refer to her as a "she" - because it worked for her purposes. There have been a few references to religious (Catholic) items so far - so it almost points to St. Zita - whom deposse posted about earlier in this thread.

Right now - we're kinda stuck in trying to find a correlation between the "souls", and the visions. The email I got back, said that once we put them in the correct groups we'll figure it out...

 		Zita says that we already know that the souls go into two groups. That we are supposed to arrange them in Relation to each other.

That makes me think that they're supposed to fit into pairs? Where one soul in a group matches another soul in the other group? Unlikely, though, since we have 13 souls. Does Zita belong in the group of souls making it 14?

If we can't get pairs, is it that each group has a certain pecking order?

Good insight. If there's a few more questions that maybe need clarification like "is Zita counted as one of the souls" - I can try and send another email. The last response I got was hella long, and took a bit to decode heh.

But I'm happy to try again.

This post has been removed by the guy that is playing too many ARG's atm. He apologizes for any confusion.

You are now returned to your regularly scheduled ARG.

 		I think Wulf's got one too many balls in the air and he's getting his wires crossed. Oh the pain of seeing an ARG junkie on a bender! lol I'm sure there's some group you can go to for help. AARG or something.

Embarassed Sorry all - and yeah, I need help. That's the problem with ARG's over the holidays.. they start fading out, so you start looking for ones that are still active..

And after the holidays? Yeah - well .. lookit me now..

Deleted incorrect post to avoid further confusion. Laughing
