I dont know if it's just my crazy mother and grandma, but they both say that getting pooped on is a sign of good luck. Growing up, anything that happened rarely seemed like it was good luck to them.

ChuckDideEate I don't know who these "some" are, though. What the hell, bird? I mean, really. 7 minutes ago from web


"Good luck to come" -- maybe something will happen on St. Patrick's Day? (so far away, it would be torture)

"Vineyards" -- may have nothing to do with wine, as far as we know! Could in fact just be a yard full of vines -- some colloquial name for a yard planted full of family trees?

"Bird" -- we don't know much about birds, except for briddes. But we do know Chuck was under the bird, for whatever that's worth.

It also might be a message saying that something is about to happen.

I don't know, sounds like stalling to me.

(OOG: If this is product related it could mean the product is delayed - (rather than wait for news I'd just get on with distracting us), if not we clearly need moar hints).

It's obvious Chuck's tweet is saying "Hey everyone, pay attention, something is going to happen soon."

Time for more TIMM fun!

let's hope you are right, Mocha. the build-up for months was enticing to say the least. everything past Jan. 16/17 has been uninspiring...

*Warning - mostly unrelated to the tweet, just inspired by it.

Hmm... The tweet got me thinking about birds in the game, and I couldn't think of any. But then I recalled the pterodactyl in ARH: http://www.flickr.com/photos/32903188@N05/3077646190/sizes/l/in/set-72157610578386669/

The page talks about magnetism and turbines, then shows a picture of a compass. A rotor is, in basic concept, just a spinning part. Everything about M-Rotors thus far has been highly cryptic.

Could M-Rotors be compasses?

I was thinking the "M" could stand for magnetism. But why would it be so important to Milwaukee to make sure their compasses worked, so much that they had to hire people to look after them? Maybe the compasses point to the Go.D.S.E.E.D. fragments that are near?

I was thinking about the compass connection myself, but why would you need to eject people to 're-seat' a compass? Unless we're talkin' some huge compass. And wasn't there something about M-Rotors being equipped to buildings?

I like the magnetism connection, and I was playing around with the idea of a manpower-driven magnetic rotor as a power generator, which is an idea that could be genuinely dangerous for people in it - but it feels like it makes a little too much sense for this ARG.

I don't know. Those last 2 tweets sound very "un"Chuck like.

turkeys are birds, maybe it has something to do with the champion dynasty fund turkey

Hey its BostonBeats...at school and forgot my password

I think the point about being under the birds could be kind of important in respects to the champion dynasty fund. Relia, remember the day of the meetup when joey left I asked if there was anything under the trophy. I don't remember if there's enough room but maybe if you unscrewed the top from the bottom then something might be inbetween the base and the turkey. Just an idea

/lurking

What if it's something with the equipment that causes some sort of interference? If we are assuming that the M-Rotor was a compass, what if something like the Rebreather, if functioning improperly, could through off the M-Rotor. And if it was thrown off... that would be the question, I suppose.

If the M-Rotor was a compass, hypothetically, what would the danger be in it being thrown off?

I'm glad there was at least something this week, even if it doesn't necessarily move the game forward. I really hope that this doesn't end... I finally started to get caught up and then.....

found this last weekend:
