Then you understand what I mean when I say that whatever sucker got stuck with the task of following me around must have been bored out of their mind! Either that, or they decided to bail on their stalking job on the way out of GBC and went to the lake instead. Smile

Haha, yes, yes I do. Needless to say, when telling friends and relatives that I was spending the holiday weekend in "Gun Barrel City," I got a few worried glances. I had a blast though; the lake is really nice.

So far things have been uneventful, lol. Had an early ass flight, arrived in Portland at almost 8am Coffee .

I have been asked to do an interview with one PinkCloud
about I'm Sorry. Apparently she is part of a panel that will be asking questions/reporting(?) during Bricker's turn to speak. Am going to be trying to setup a time to meet with her later.

And lastly - considering going to buy a spare battery for the Crackberry, as I get the feeling, with all the tweets & whatnot, I'm gonna need it Wink

I'll be watching anxiously to see if you get any response from Hatch, PB, or if Jenny has anything more to say.

==edit==
You can read more about PinkCloud a.k.a. Mela Kocher at the ARGfest page here scroll about 1/2 way down the page.

DAMN I go away for one day and so much stuff happens.

So hullo from sunny Portland! The air smells like olives and I haven't slept much in the past three days!
No, I did not get kidnapped/murdered/etc etc etc on the train, though I did have an interesting conversation with Rage via text (when I could find a friggin' signal out in the middle of Montana, fdsgfs)

Quote:
(707): Staying safe, my dear?

(952): Yeah, old man. What, you worried about little ol' me?

(707): Just checking in. Have you seen a guy in an old porkpie hat?

(952): 'Fraid not. Why? Should I be looking for him?

(707): No you probably won't see him. Just still trying to track down the Cuban. Enjoy the scenery.

(952): Wait, you think he's here? Or did I read that wrong?

(707): I unforunately don't know who he's after. Just covering the bases.

(952): What about King?

(707): I'm driving up to the Astro now to check.

(952): Well... let me know, ok? You're my only link to anything right now. And I'm worried about King. Worried that his stubbornness may get the better of him this time.

(707): I'll keep you informed.

And... then I didn't hear anything after that. All that told me is that our Mr. Know-It-All actually doesn't know what's going on this time!

Anyway, I have breezed through the past couple of pages, so I think I'm sorta caught up! Convention maddness officially begins tonight. Right now I'm gonna go harass Wulf for a couple of hours and explore giant bookstores before things begin. :B

Well, that puts a rather large kink in the plans. Let's hope that he's alright. Not to mention that if there was a gunfight at his motel, Port needs to GTFO. Hopefully he's smart enough to do so.

I highly doubt Rage is actually dead; son of a bitch is too tough to just roll over like that. However, Schwinn mentioned to me yesterday that, hey, what if the Cuban was not hunting any of the usual suspects--what if he was hunting Rage?
Which, as it looks, may have been the case. The Cuban followed him down to Santa Rosa and, once again, Port just got caught up in the proverbial crossfire.

In the end! that makes Rage entirely inaccessible/useless right now for the plan he gave us and... well, gee. Now we're back to square one: up creek, no paddle. IMAGINE THAT.

In other news, Wulf and I got to chat with PinkCloud this afternoon--as mentioned earlier, she's running the panel that Bricker will be speaking in tomorrow. We were, more or less, attempting (read: failing) to help her understand what the hell is going on here so she can ask some relevant questions tomorrow. I guess there's gonna be some kinda follow-up interview later on? Maybe?

Also, she's apparently had some contact with the man himself in which he's said curious things--curious, meaning, not quite so convoluted as what he's usually said to us. I guess we will officially find out tomorrow whether or not he's going to pretend this is all 'in-game' or no, but until then, anxiously anticipating it.

Not to mention that thing from the Watchers.

All that said, goddamn, it was quite refreshing to at least sit down to talk/walk through with someone about the insanity that is this friggin' game.

In Rage's defense (wow...did I just say that?), he did mention that he had other plans this weekend. And conveniently he's been taken out of action just as the weekend kicks off. We can't do anything until you guys have the Portland package anyway.

Couple of things -
1) New tweet from Rage!
Quote:
secretly wondered for years if i could survive the cuban. guess i know now. poor poor cuban.


2) I sent an email to Bricker yesterday, asking some basic questions - when he'd be in, if he was still being followed etc. Tonight, I've traded several emails back and forth with him.
The highlights of those emails are essentially:
A) He had a crappy delayed flight, then the GPS in his car wasn't working on his way to the hotel..
B) He is unsure of where to go, or what to do tomorrow - apparently they didn't have a schedule for him like other conferences
C) He doesn't have any information/anything for Classical and I...?

I was under the impression there was some critical piece of the puzzle we were to be receiving here - and that's what we were waiting for...? Hrm - perhaps it will come tomorrow during the day.

Hopefully I can get some sleep now....

I'm as ready as I can be I suppose, lol.

I'm gonna try and keep my laptop with me as much as possible, but if not I'll have several different IM's running on my phone, as well as Twitter. If you want to contact me via IM, just use the email address on my profile for gmail/yahoo/msn(windows live).

Huh. So Bricker sent me this (in code, naturally), very early this morning:
Quote:
Is it safe in Portland? What do I do now?


So I'm just sorta like, '... ???'

Good to see Rage is alive, but what's with the typing style?

I got essentially the same thing last night. I couldn't tell if he was geniunely confused as to what to do this morning, or what. But since the schedule we have doesn't actually say WHERE everything is being held, I told him to ask the front desk. Beyond that, I never heard back from him.

I take it you didn't make it to the early conference either? lol

=edit=
We're currently sitting in the conference/panel discussion with Brian Bricker. It's an open question forum - any questions anyone wants asked? I'll be in the iRC channel.

Yeah, yeah yeah....

I got another of these silly emails from the PMs of this game:

Sat, 18 Jul 2009 7:27 AM ( 5 hours 56 mins ago )
From: "T Bettelheim" <distortedview>
To: me@myemail

Subject: Hi!

Just a quick note to say that we know who you are and to encourage you to quit playing I'm Sorry.

That is all.

102 255 204 68 85 68 34 306 255 255 68

Leet doesn't have a base for the code easily available, and I'm up to my eyeballs in work, so have at it brood! Did anyone else get one of these? Maybe they have had to fall back on another way to get out the next clue?

[Very Meta] While it is obvious that Bricker is/was in on the ARG from the beginning and it is for his book, I do have to wonder if this might not be a situation similar to what occurred when Jay and I ran Kronos:

The people that we were working for on promoting the movie Kronos was tied to, had a business disagreement and one of the "partners" was locked out of his own part of the company. Then the parent company fired Jay and I and everyone else from that existing "merged" company. We ended up running the last four months of that game "renegade", because we had no idea a) If the "fired" partner would get control of the movie b) if the movie would or would not release by any one at any time c) we had too much invested, and too many people playing to quit and d) we owned the rights to everything in the ARG and the rights to the script for the movie, and the parent company never had a hand in any of it, only the "partner" knew what we were doing. He said to carry on, and we were still in touch with him and he was trying to get his movie back to release himself.

The reason why I bring this up, is that Bricker may be a cog in the wheel, and the people running I'm Sorry took it out of his hands a long time ago. It is not unheard of for a publishing company or record label, or even a distributor, to move ahead with promoting a release, even if they don't have the full approval of the "author". It isn't the "author's" concern once some other entity has the rights to the work in question.
