We chatted again. Here ya go! I'm spoilering part of it because it might be a hint for the Cerebra game.
Quote:
11:35 AM chelllearnstruth: Obviously I can't sleep
me: Ah, sorry to hear it
chelllearnstruth: Thanks for sending your goons.
11:36 AM me: Wait, what?
I'm really confused here
chelllearnstruth: Mr "Townsend" wishes to speak with me. Thanks.
11:37 AM me: No way! I haven't even heard from him directly
Only in the e-mails about the Xpand program
chelllearnstruth: sure.
11:38 AM me: I'm really really lost here
chelllearnstruth: You're almost as bad as frost.
11:39 AM me: All I know about frost is that "Operation Frost" blog
You made that, right?
The poster was the same name as your page 129 blog
chelllearnstruth: No, I have no connection with it. Whoever did stole my title though.
11:40 AM me: Oh. Crap. I e-mailed them. I hope that doesn't end badly...
chelllearnstruth: E-mailed whom?
me: the Operation Frost blog
Since I thought it was you
chelllearnstruth: and I thought I could trust you.
me: Hold on! I didn't tell them anything
11:41 AM chelllearnstruth: Alright, since you did I'll use you.
As a double agent.
me: I don't really appreciate your wordage, but sure. That works
11:42 AM chelllearnstruth: Tell me what you find. I think they have Father.
me: certainly, you can understand why I would think it was you after seeing "The Left Arrow" as the poster
11:43 AM I'd be happy to!
I got a little worried back there when it sounded like you didn't trust me anymore
The whole Cerebra thing. I'm not really sure what exactly happened there
11:44 AM chelllearnstruth: "The Left Arrow" was my father's thing. He passed it down to me.
They stole it from him.
me: So you used it on yours and they stole it and used it on theirs? OK
I'm not being sarcastic here, I believe you
chelllearnstruth: yeah, it's that simple.
11:45 AM me: I was just confused is all
chelllearnstruth: Alright, calm down.
11:46 AM me: Very Happy
I'm calm
chelllearnstruth: Good.
11:47 AM What do you know about Mr. Townsend?
me: Not much other than that he's not much of a typist
11:49 AM Do you know anything more? He wanted to talk to you, right?
11:50 AM chelllearnstruth: I am talking to him right now.
me: What about?
chelllearnstruth: I am asking his identity.
11:51 AM me: you mean, beyond Allen Townsend?
chelllearnstruth: yeah
me: hey, didn't you say your father worked with Cerebra?
11:52 AM chelllearnstruth: I did. He's gone now though. It's not like I can get a hold of him now.
me: Maybe if we can get a hold of him (which is the goal anyway) we can find out more about Mr. Townsend
chelllearnstruth: I guess so.
11:54 AM me: by the way, have you had any luck deciphering that code?
chelllearnstruth: I'm having M.O.M. work on that.
me: How long's she been at it?
11:55 AM chelllearnstruth: She? It's a robot. Umm.... thirty-six seconds.
11:56 AM me: You're calling it "mom" it's only natural that my mind would associate a female pronoun with it
11:57 AM chelllearnstruth: Sorry, I'm just irratable now. I can't stand this headache.
me: Hmm... maybe you should lay off the Xpand stuff
11:59 AM chelllearnstruth: I might.
me: A few of my friends have been working on that code too. They seem to think it's font-related, but I'm not so sure
chelllearnstruth: Were you aware Mr. "Townsend" had an AIM account?
12:00 PM me: No, actually
is that how he contacted you?
12:01 PM chelllearnstruth: yeah.
me: huh, I wasn't even aware YOU had an AIM account until about 3 hours ago
12:02 PM chelllearnstruth: Haha, sorry about that. M.O.M. tracked down your AIM.
12:03 PM me: No worries there. I think you're actually the first person to get in touch with me on this. I just made it about a week or so ago
chelllearnstruth: Alright.
12:04 PM me: Lucky I did!
12:05 PM so, how's M.O.M. handling that code?
12:06 PM chelllearnstruth: Slowly. Too slowly.
12:07 PM me: I don't suppose you have any insight into its process?
sorry if I'm being too curious, I just really want to know where that code is going
chelllearnstruth: It seems...er.... Greek.
Then again, it's all greek to me.
me: haha clever
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
12:08 PM I kind of had a hunch it might be cryptographic
sort of Indana-Jones-y
12:09 PM chelllearnstruth: Ah, yes.
me: are you very good with those?
The thing that tipped me off was the U with the thingy over tip
top*
12:10 PM I think it's a vowel, since it appears so frequently

chelllearnstruth: That's ancient stuff. M.O.M. is better with new stuff, this could take a while.
me: yeah, if it were simply a font that had to be replaced, like wingdings or something, I'd have had it solved the day I got it
12:11 PM chelllearnstruth: I understand.
me: I'll poke around with it some more
12:12 PM chelllearnstruth: Don't poke too hard. You might hurt yourself.
me: haha I'll be careful.
I have all the codes pulled out of the program, so I won't get a headache Wink
12:14 PM chelllearnstruth: I don't think Mr. Townsend wants us digging into his progam though.
me: all the more reason to, I think
12:15 PM chelllearnstruth: Alright, you can't say I didn't warn you.
me: what's the worst that could happen?
chelllearnstruth: You could lose something that's close to you.
12:16 PM me: haha what's he gonna do? typo me to death?
Sorry, I didn't mean to make light of your loss, but I don't think he's responsible
chelllearnstruth: He isn't. I trust Mr. Townsend.
12:17 PM me: Alrighty, if you do, I will too
12:20 PM chelllearnstruth: Mr. Townsend is a great man. In stead of attacking him, just follow the program.
me: I can't just let that code slide though. I don't think it's his fault it's there. Did you get that recall message?
12:21 PM "Certain copies of the exam were defective and contained objects and messages that were not a part of the exam, and can be hazardous to the Group and Xpand Program participants."
12:22 PM chelllearnstruth: Someone's out to foil Mr. Townsends plans to save us.
me: Save us?
chelllearnstruth: I have to leave now.
They're coming
me: Alrighty! Be safe!
12:23 PM And let me know what M.O.M. churns out

I guess after my last post, the Cerebra people got in touch with her?

I just got a response from chell when after I sent in my answers. It looks like this is a direct link to the FROST game. Here is the transcript:


Re: Answers
From: Chell J <chellnj>
Date: Tue, Jun 8, 2010 11:03 am
Don't hope, know! These are all good answers, although three is slightly off, you understood. Alright, so it was found. And by it I mean a golden nugget in the world of finding stuff. Mmm.....nugget......

FROST is a league of secrets and keeping them hidden.

Stay Sensitive,
Chell

You can be a use.
So I shall make a truce,
You will not be my foe,
So I shall tell you what I know,
There's another team known as F.R.O.S.T.,
I believe they made Father lost,
Stay Well,

Underling? Murder?

Ok I've been having an email convo with Chell. First I asked: "What is your plan? Do you need me to do anything right now?"

Got reply:
Quote:
Do you mind having an underling or sidekick?
Currently I found a dilemma that needs a solution.

Sorry for the briefness,
Stay super,
Chell


I said "Sure why not, what's up?" Reply:

Quote:
Alright, your underling is ninjaPhilanthropist. I know he may be irritating at times, but you know.
Thank you for taking this, you are a real help.


Earlier I witnessed a murder, DETAILS AT 2:30.

Stay believing,
Chell


So ninjaPhilanthropist have you heard from Chell too? It's 1522EST now so I suspect I'll be hearing from Chell either via email or on her blog in 8 minutes?

Yeah, as you've seen in my IM logs above, she's been chatting with me. She said earlier that she only trusted the people who answered her questions so I rattled off the answers really quick, and she said she'd make me a Jr. Member.

New post is up: Page 6. Wonder what Erkingstice is.

Got an email just now from Chell:
Quote:
I'll create a way for all of us to be in contact. You might need to create another account on something, sorry.

Stay curious,
Chell

Looks like she's trying to put something together...

ETA: Added a postscript to her post:

Notes Regarding the Murder from Chat with Chell:

Erkingstice
~A small island off the coast
~If it's a sunny day and you're at a funeral, it is a custom to bring an umbrella.
~Women are not allowed to have jobs.

Suspects who have a vendetta against the royalty
~Clarence Goudem: "a married woman fighting the royalty for woman's rights"
~Maurice Shellmen: "been taxed higher because his fishing has gone low so he's been slacking"
~Ima Killa: "jailed fourteen times for unknown reasons"
~Winston: "a guard who lost his house and job after killing another guard"

Oof, it's 1020EST and Chell's in chat. Come on in people.

ETA: Just finished up chat with Chell & Winston Doctors. More info was given.

The Cerebra Group
- told Chell the possible message we decoded. Response: "That's almost possible."
- "Daddy told me to start following it because it was "All for Science.""
- asked if Father connected to TCG: "Kind of. He was a colleague of Mr. Townsend."
- Chell does not believe TCG is behind father's disappearance, she believes Operation FROST is behind it.

Winston Doctors
Facebook: here
He's been adding people as friends, so I made a friend request and was added too!
As a friend you can read more info in his profile:
- Email: ilovepurplekittiesSPLATgmail.com
- Political view: Revolution of Erkistice Party
- Birthday: September 11, 1990
I chatted with Winston and got the following info:
  • the king of erkingstice was murdered by a poisoned pen (they found ink in the wound)
  • the king was not at a funeral but his throne is actually on top of the original/founding king's grave

Chell says that according to the internet, people do not usually carry umbrellas when they are at the throne because "the thrown stands there as an umbrella."

Maurice Shellman
Chell found his blog: http://goodbyeerkingstice.blogspot.com/

Ima Killa
Chell found her Friendster account: http://profiles.friendster.com/121427049
There is a picture she uploaded titled "the land of Erkingstice" (see attachment)

No info on Clarence Goudem yet. All the suspects are "tall-ish" so I guess any one of them could have done it still. I guess we should start contacting these people and ask them questions about their involvement in the murder?
