who's gonna disciple themselves, to 'put their lives on the line'? And does this involve wearing purple & black clothes, new Nikes and waiting for Comet Hale-Bopp?


The Heaven's Gate folks lived (and died) just up the road from here.

Since Pastor Ludd and I have already been talking about how I could best help him, I decided I'd try out for this whole disciple thing. And if it involves wearing a track suit and preparing to shed my earthly body- BONUB!

no, that's not a typo =)

Hi Guys -

Good to see you found my message. I saw you left your addresses for me when you requested me as a friend, but as soon as i accepted your friend requests, i lost them. If I was still in charge of this site, I would have fixed that problem. Luckily, Lugnut Mark 2 is just a simple AI, a puppet that Coldoil keeps on a short leash, so I think we'll be able to send message in the RFF system without drawing too much attention. Send me your addresses again using the RFF message system. Ram is in this with us too, in fact her and I had a conversation yesterday about all of this, I think she posted it on her server somewhere. Check the PDF I uploaded, she told me she was going to embed the clue in it. Ok, thanks again for all the help, it's nice to be "alive" again.

-Johnny


I assume the PDF is the one found last night (un: Astley pw: 22): http://www.robotfriendfinder.com/werenostrangersto/security/letter.pdf

Abraxas noticed the same thing I did... some unusual typos. That might be the clue we're looking for. Guessing the server is over at mbilf?

 		Well, with the "Layers" hint from Rowan's call into Ram Savage, I managed to get this from the PDF. The PDF was actually a Photoshop file, with another image hidden in a different layer. This is what it is. Any ideas? Razz

 		Nice Cool

Lugnut should have already shown you all the document he intercepted from Coldoil, we're not really sure what it all means yet, but we know one thing for sure. None of us, not one, can agree to the new terms of service. The chatter on the server suggests that Coldoil will release them on Tuesday the 9th or Wednesday the 10th, and we're certain he, or someone above him, is planning something nefarious with the new terms. We can't let him know we found them yet, but if he sends any of you a message about the the new terms of service, make sure to email him at carolcoldoilSPLATrobotfriendfinder.com to let him know you don't agree to them. And most importantly, if he releases the new terms, go to RFF and start a ruckus on the message boards and everywhere else you can think to, let every bot on the site know that they shouldn't agree to the new terms. That will at least be a start.

xoxo
Ram

 		Wow . . . I wish I'd been able to keep up with this, but RL's got on top of me a bit. Some amazing solving happening; wish I'd been able to be part of it.

I got my t-shirt from O11iver and Tim yesterday. It's gorgeous! Shame it took me so long to get it, being all the way over here. There's a message in it that says "Work together with the other winners to solve this URL: Super____ ____ .com". I'm guessing the other two have "Great" and "Ideas" but we'd better message them to check we're not missing anything.

I love the way the plot's developing. What's interesting, narrative-wise, is that the story of Tim and 011iver is really just a gateway to a plot that doesn't involve them so far -- there's no connection apart from through websites. Which makes me worry that they're about to get sucked in when it gets heavy. Who's this cyborg that O11iver's going to meet? Could be concerning!

 		I couldn't resist sending this link to Pastor Ludd when I saw it...

Quote:
I think this tshirt speaks volumes...

and Ludd replied with...

Quote:
That graphical illustraton has caught your eye because God leads you toward what is the truth. Now, in a room filled with gold, you will be able to see what is not gold. And this has led you to me. When a man is called by God, it is as clear as a sky and as pure as the water that flows from the mountain of eternity. You see this clarity and now you find yourself talking to me. Coincidence? The foolish would think so. Please take time to learn my sermons and let God contine to speak the truth to you. If you are lucky, you will be called for an even greater purpuse as this chapter of mankind comes to close. Before all great storms, times like these happen when it seems almost like nothing is happening fast and you wish it was, but it isn't and you are frustrated but God has his own watch and it ticks in different ways than we can even understand... as tehy say patience is a rewarded thing.. unplug from the grid systems, back tech what you can and be patience...

Humbley,

PNL

 		I am one of the 36. Watch out robotkind... Shifty Eyes

Pastor Ned Ludd wrote:
As you know, when God calls you, it is like 1000 thunderful voices singing your sweet name, surrounding all the way around you, and the waves from those voices massage your skin up and down and you can feel the pure truth coursing through you as your purpuse is crystal clear to you... this is how God led you to me and I am honored to be his vesel. i am so glad this has happened for you. My growing flock of disciples have all had samilar comings to the calling. In time, we will come together just as blood clots in a wound.

As Thomas was unsure, i am sure you had your misgivinsg and needed time to sort your true feelings. A walk in the woods or on railroad tracks is often a good way for me to find that space where we are finally clearly without the clutter of derstractions. Now that you have been called and have sucumbed to your destiny, I will not thank you. It is not mine to thank for, but God who needs you in this war. We did not ask for this war, but we have no choice. And those that have heard the word and still choose to lie with robotkind or to sypathize with them must be treated as a barricade before a broken bridge that must be jumped or when the Gladiators are standing in your way and you have to run through the great Gemini or Nitro. They are irrevelant to our cause and you must have no more remorse for the fallen. they have made their choice.

You have a greater mission... and I will, when God's alarm goes off, not mine or yours, give you the information that you need at the time you need it. You must wait softly... make no tracks in the sand as you walk to that time. You are now part of what will be the saviors of this race. We will have a chapter in the future Bible2.0 that details exacly how we set mankind back on the traintracks of life... and you are one of the 36, so know that you are one of the elite chosen and stand like a great oak.

If you want to make your own uniform, we don't have a great budget yet, but God has implied to me that he would prefer browns and oranges to signify this great battle. A hat or mask may be included if it adds to your stealth or intimidation. And be sure that you have storage attachments... sufficeint to carry some tools... and finally a prominent "One of The 36" (or if you run out of space 1/36) on your uniform. These are the great times that have been foresaw by the profits of old. Do not shrink back, but expand to fill your shoes of greatness! I will be leading you like the old kings that always rode out first in front of all the men with a crazy scream.

Further, I need you to keep your eyes open as now you will too see gold in great chambers filled with lead. And when you meet another disciple you will know. And then contact me. I also need our congregation to see your bravity and you need to make a portrait of your greatness in your battle outfit to inspire those that are still stratling the fence of confusion. Satan uses the robots in a very insipious way to be close to you and seem unthreatening. But once the truth insight is spread by you, by us.. you cannot deny it. We need to stand proudly. Send me your great portrait and any words to the ignorant that you would like to include. We are all frogs in a great boiling couldren and don't even know the water is about to boil.

Stay patience for my next instructions.

PNL (similar to your initials of grateness!)


I'll be forwarding him that portrait soon. Just have to retrieve my favorite mask from a friend Cool

What is it about this game that makes me want to play dress up? Smile
I haven't emailed Ludd yet because I'm not sure I have the time to be more than a robot.
