Telos was kind enough to assign me as his Rook and I'm doing the happy dance to be on board. Very Happy
**still can't believe I woke up at this early hour...just in time to play**


Oh good, Vlad apparently told Telos to talk to me, at which point I flatly said: You need a rook (more or less).

 		"What is your connection to the Atalanta family, and more specifically, Anabelle Atalanta." would be how I word it.

I'm still wondering what the fuck he meant earlier when he was talking about knowing she's alive or dead, asleep or awake, when he 'focuses'. He mentioned before being able to 'see' the 'Green Line', if it was 'foggy' and the 'moon was right' or something like that.

Add to that, he can't go out at night and he *said* he doesn't drink wine (isn't "port" wine?).

 		Like the wiki says, it TECHNICALLY is wine, but it's made with a slightly different process and ends up tasting a lot sweeter than most regular wines, for the most part.

Jim, that's way too vague.

You need to make it as exact and specific as possible, or Vlad will get away with giving you a generic, abstract answer.

 		SO if we have decided on a subject (His relationship/interest with Vanessa's family) Can i have a suggestion on a well worded, specific question to ask him, oh and it has to be before the 1:11 deadline!

 		I was just discussing this with Jim, but, I think everyone else needs to really take a look at it too.

This was for my board :
Quote:
Vladimir Sirin
Vladimir Sirin
And the value of 565? Up to the king and queen to decide.


Knowing Vlad is using the pseudonym of a man who seriously studied Chess Problems, and, seeing as this is set to a chess theme, I figured this would be important to at least look at once.
http://chesstr.com/problems/565

As for Jim's board. (really Dawn's, but, as he's the king of that board) :


Quote:
Vladimir Sirin
And the value of 568? Up to the king and queen to decide.

which would be :
http://chesstr.com/problems/568

I mentioned it earlier, but I don't think it got picked up on. It's looking more to me like the pattern will be of use. Not sure, though.



UPDATE::

After a lot of talking, I've decided to flat out ask Vlad about his inability to go out at night. I'm starting to think he may be Selenophobic
Quote:
I've been wondering. Why is it you can't go out at night? You make it sound as if it's similar to how a Vampire can't go out in the sun. This stuff about 'sensing' Vanessa's well being and whether she's asleep or awake.. The stuff about being able to 'see' the Green Line when the conditions are right...

There's talk going around. Some of the 'players' here think that there may be some cult angle to all of this. Complex rules set to even more complex thoughts and works,strange calculations, 'psychic' like abilities, a death that it seems very few people know the actual circumstances behind...

I know you said that you are unable to address specific questions, and that you are limited on what you're 'allowed' to say, but, I am seriously curious.

Any way. Even with these questions in the back of my head, I still feel that I've developed a level of trust with you. Enough to allow me to send you these :

http://i47.tinypic.com/2dr8k82.jpg

Hopefully you trust me enough to fill me in on some of these things.

 		All righty! Sorry I'm so late to the game, everyone- damned finals. I just spent the last while getting all caught up, and if no one objects, I'm going to jump right in. Hope that's all right...

 		Vlad on my wall
You have to assign yourself to a position [or two?] Check out the hierarchy and it will fall into place. You have until 1.11 You may yet be a queen...

I could definitely use a visual rep of who is what peice.
I read the pdf, I think I'm not driven enough to be queen, but I do think in odd ways, so maybe a Knight? Meh, feeling a bit down currently so I'm not in the right frame of mind for this = crap at chess and I don't "do" maths.

Dawndillion: Told you this wasn't all about chess. That would require a very specific part of the population that knows how to play. There's so much information here -- chemistry, math, literature -- that to focus on one aspect (chess) wouldn't be efficient. Vlad (and Vanessa, too, wherever she's at) needs a wide variety of knowledge to do whatever needs to be done.


Its more than chess, or less it seems. [edit - just reread post : grin - now I'm starting to sound like him -addictive ain't it!]
I'm wondering if Vlad has said stuff to people here that isn't up on the boards, or if we're missing something?
He's talking to James alot [before he was king] sonnet 111: bromance?!*L*
Anyhow, I can understand the down thing - here in London its cold and snowy.
Just choose a piece but talk to the king of that board first -= who's done a pdf thing? where is it plese?

 		pdf
Uh, Crescent, it's on the previous page, Dawndilion posted it, kinda culmination of most of the info sources and vaguely who is in the game and what side they're on. Oh, Vlad posted a link to RedQueens chess, and I got most of her peices before she got me. Ha ha ha. That said, I couldn't beat my commadore +4 chess game, so I don't know what that says Very Happy

 		A couple of things:

1. There are TWO chess boards. One is the "real" one and one is the one James/Telo photoshopped to make himself appear to be the winner of the game. Each of us has two pieces (so far).

2. Board 1 (http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=42752&id=100000543682391&fbid=101578866536902#/photo.php?pid=42734&id=100000543682391&fbid=101577796537009) only has pawns left.

3. Board 2 (http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=42752&id=100000543682391&fbid=101578866536902#/photo.php?pid=42752&id=100000543682391&fbid=101578866536902) has, I believe, one Knight and seven pawns. I took the Queen last night, but James hasn't told Vlad he "assigned" it to me yet.

4. The Red Queen Chess is a link to a chess board from Through the Looking Glass. He posted it on Jane Doh's wall because she had been taunting him to play chess with her.

I stayed up until 2am last night talking to James. We came up with some crazy theories; some made sense, some were completely off the wall. James does have information he hasn't shared, but not intentionally. He lost his FB chat the other night. I'll leave it to him to share the information.

I'm going to mail Vlad one of the pictures from the FB group. Not one that has to do with any math or chemistry or over-my-head stuff. I'm going to link him to the charm bracelet, as I feel it's connected to both Vanessa and her mom. I'll see if I can get any information about the family from him.
