So I was out playing golf today and missed the event. Sad

However when I got back I had this waiting on my FB from Daniel:

Quote:

I'm going in to see Inspector Molinero at his request.

Inspector Bumstead disappeared, and "I'll be taking over the investigation. I would like to meet you to interview you about Mr. Hand and Mr. Book in order to continue the research. Please contact me as soon as possible. Thank you.

So I guess we won't be hearing from the good doctor until he is done talking to Interpol. Perhaps we should bug his assistant now?

I received an email that I am authorized as a "Contributor" on the "Memory Warriors" website.

Uh... Huh?

New post today on that blog:

Quote:

Request For Proposal
Posted on September 18, 2010 by MemoryWarrior

RFP 10-17-2010
Location: Worldwide
Expiration Date: 10/17/10

Apply to:
Memory Warriors, Inc.
memorywarriorSPLATgmail.com

Synopsis:
Locate a man calling himself "Mr. Hand" and inform Interpol of his location.

Is anyone still playing this game? This thread feels quiet, and I'm certainly not "playing" this in that I'm not exchanging communication. The fact that I'm the only one reporting it is... disconcerting.

To be honest I've been lurking but haven't jumped in - noticed a lot of chef's in the pot and figured I'd wait until there was a puzzle or some action to get involved.

I hope this doesn't start to fall to the wayside...

I've received some Wordpress invites, but I haven't been able to get any of it to work. I attended some of the party on Friday. I am playing and am interested to see how we're going to find Mr. Hand.

Did I mention I am confused?

I was also added as a contributor. Yet I am slightly confused. The blog asks for proposals. Sooo...proposal for what? A way for us to get Mr. Hand?

So add me to the list of confused people with this new development. As far as we know Daniel is at Interpol spilling his guts. This website seems to lean towards the theory that Daniel has joined the dark side. Yet their profile picture is...Mr. Hand!

So...ya...I'm confused. Twisted Evil

/eta:

In case someone didn't get the explanation from Memory Warrior:

Quote:

Folks -

I've hear from the grapevine that some of you are confused about the invites to participate in the Memory Warriors blog. I invited you because all of you are friends, or are an acquaintances of Dr. Schreber, and he is a key figure in our war against the strangers.

Perhaps I can explain our function, we are a well-funded, non-governmental organization formed to fight the strangers, like Mr. Hand, and Mr. Book. That's why I'm asking for a Request for Proposal, any idea no matter how absurd will be considered, the winner will receive the $100,000 to implement his/her/their proposal.

I've changed all of your user accounts so that you can now "Author" content (like posts) in the Memory Warriors blog, hopefully that will work, I'm still getting to know Wordpress. Comments from the public are still unchanged. When you log in to your account, a menubar will appear showing a bunch of options, choose "My Blogs", and select Memory Warriors. That's it, now you can post whatever you like, if it's relevant. I reserve the right to edit or delete anything that is on the site.

Here is some sort of a puzzle, zygotesix. I have no idea how to figure these out, so hopefully you or someone else can.

~~Hm...my QR scanner is not picking it up. Will keep trying...~~

I got it to work! It decodes to this:

Based on my latest conversation with Daniel we need to be looking for Emma's blog. Apparently it's on WordPress as well but I cannot find it so far.

Of course I am at work and can't slack off too much so if you guys can come up with something please let us know. Smile

I've had a few conversations with Dr. Schreber. Nothing too glamorous or interesting, but I'll post logs when I'm done with the one in progress.

This is the 'party' though:

[17/09/2010 21:26:04] Daniel Schreber: Oh well, can't blame me for starting early - on my beer consumption.

[17/09/2010 21:27:01] Daniel Schreber: i never got that there new math!

[17/09/2010 21:28:33] Kriss: Well, I shall consider it
[17/09/2010 21:28:39] Kriss: It is Friday, after all
[17/09/2010 21:28:55] Daniel Schreber: so I sez!
[17/09/2010 21:31:19] Kriss: Is anybody else due to join us? I must confess I've lost touch with your progress these past few days, so I'll need a moment to catch up on your activities
[17/09/2010 21:32:35] Daniel Schreber: well, 11 said they would join us (emma's here with me) she says "Hi Kriss!"
[17/09/2010 21:32:53] Daniel Schreber: in one form or another!
[17/09/2010 21:34:53] Kriss: Well, give me some time to get caught up and I'll be with you Smile

[17/09/2010 21:35:02] Kriss: And tell Emma I said 'Hi'
[17/09/2010 21:35:12] Daniel Schreber: sure thing 2 both!
[17/09/2010 21:43:47] Kriss: I think I'm caught up with the last few weeks. I'm sorry for being out of the loop; life has gotten in the way recently.
[17/09/2010 21:43:53] Daniel Schreber: Just chillin' with a G&T
[17/09/2010 21:44:27] Daniel Schreber: np - i know how it goes!
[17/09/2010 21:44:58] Kriss: Well, it's a solid choice as drinks go. I've recently become addicted to Apple vodka
[17/09/2010 21:45:48] Daniel Schreber: then have one on me!
[17/09/2010 21:47:11] Kriss: Thank you, Doctor
[17/09/2010 21:47:21] Kriss: So when's the big day?
[17/09/2010 21:47:59] Daniel Schreber: Monday!
[17/09/2010 21:48:14] Kriss: Excellent
[17/09/2010 21:48:57] Kriss: When the others arrive, is it too much to hope you might share a passage or two?
[17/09/2010 21:48:59] Daniel Schreber: nothing like a good hefty drink to steel you for the critics!
[17/09/2010 21:49:19] Kriss: I fully agree
[17/09/2010 21:49:33] Daniel Schreber: if i'm sober and coherent by then!
[17/09/2010 21:49:52] Kriss: Well, we can only hope!
[17/09/2010 21:51:18] Daniel Schreber: did i mention i'm here with emma? you know, my assistant...
[17/09/2010 21:53:07] Kriss: You did. Lovely girl, you're very lucky to have her
[17/09/2010 21:54:15] Daniel Schreber: I know! I just wish she'd get out more and find a young man, get on with her life...
[17/09/2010 21:55:42] Kriss: Well, if only my schedule permitted me to help!
[17/09/2010 21:58:40] Kriss: Still, she seems happy to be working with you
[17/09/2010 21:59:44] Daniel Schreber: she's a real jewel ...
[17/09/2010 22:00:44] Kriss: She is. To be honest, I've wondered during the course of my conversations with her if her admiration for you isn't simply professional
[17/09/2010 22:03:15] Daniel Schreber: oh, I'm married to my work, she knows that, but something tells me she'll leave me sooner or later once she has met "the one"!
[17/09/2010 22:03:49] Kriss: Never underestimate the loyalty of a good woman, Doctor
[17/09/2010 22:05:25] Daniel Schreber: I'd never take advantage of her, I made that clear at the interview - in retrospect that wasn't the brightest thing to state in an interview!!
[17/09/2010 22:06:08] Kriss: No, sir. Rather shot yourself in the foot
[17/09/2010 22:06:35] Kriss: Of course, she must be terribly embarrassed by our discussing this in front of her
[17/09/2010 22:08:15] Daniel Schreber: she's away from the keyboard, having some cheese and crackers. all my colleagues are here...
[17/09/2010 22:08:58] Kriss: Really? I didn't realise you had so many. I guess it makes sense, but having only interacted with yourself and Emma...
[17/09/2010 22:09:09] Kriss: Anybody of note?
[17/09/2010 22:10:47] Daniel Schreber: Dr. DeFoote is here, remember the scientist who replicated my results?
[17/09/2010 22:11:16] Kriss: I vaguely recall the name, yes
[17/09/2010 22:12:40] Daniel Schreber: and, let's see...
[17/09/2010 22:17:38] Daniel Schreber: Margaret Cawley Dewar, the director of assn governance
[17/09/2010 22:17:51] Daniel Schreber: high mucky muck
[17/09/2010 22:18:35] Daniel Schreber: several scientists, you wouldn't know them.
[17/09/2010 22:18:54] Kriss: I know of Dewar
[17/09/2010 22:20:27] Daniel Schreber: you're doing better than I, the first time I met her was over mr. hand's offer!! she was ready to spit fire at me!!
[17/09/2010 22:21:30] Kriss: Really? One of the objectors?
[17/09/2010 22:25:02] Daniel Schreber: that's an understatement! the whole board took their cue from her and voted uninamously to refuse me to have any further contact with Mr. Hand...looks like they were right....Jus' a minute gotta go pee!
[17/09/2010 22:26:03] Kriss: No problem
[17/09/2010 22:28:16] Daniel Schreber: i'm back! boy that was a relief!
[17/09/2010 22:28:41] Kriss: Too much to drink?
[17/09/2010 22:29:15] Daniel Schreber: not 2 much, i'm onl7 slightly gipsy...
[17/09/2010 22:29:39] Daniel Schreber: lol...i meant 2 say slightly tipsy!!
[17/09/2010 22:30:16] Kriss: lol
[17/09/2010 22:31:55] Daniel Schreber: u c i had already had a few drinks before i cam online
[17/09/2010 22:32:20] Kriss: Well, that's understandable. It's your party and you can drink if you want to!
[17/09/2010 22:33:11] Daniel Schreber: emma sez not. she's taking my drinkie winkie away!! tell her not to!
[17/09/2010 22:33:50] Kriss: Leave him alone, Emma! Let the good Doctor enjoy his success
[17/09/2010 22:35:09] Daniel Schreber: Emma here: oh ok but he's pretty plastered! i wouldn't want him falling down drunk!
[17/09/2010 22:35:35] Kriss: Perhaps a coffee will do the trick?
[17/09/2010 22:36:35] Daniel Schreber: now he's bawling...
[17/09/2010 22:36:48] Daniel Schreber: and saying nonsense.
[17/09/2010 22:37:25] Kriss: That is strange. Anything you can make out?
[17/09/2010 22:38:41] Daniel Schreber: it's very personal
[17/09/2010 22:39:26] Kriss: Oh dear. I dare not ask further
[17/09/2010 22:42:37] Daniel Schreber: i should think so - oh he's gotten into the punch bowl FEET FIRST ...
[17/09/2010 22:43:50] Kriss: Oh dear. Time for bed, perhaps?
[17/09/2010 22:44:39] Daniel Schreber: at least it's time for him to lay down!
[17/09/2010 22:45:02] Kriss: Well, can someone else help you deal with him?
[17/09/2010 22:45:27] Daniel Schreber: Dr. DeFoote is here.
[17/09/2010 22:45:52] Kriss: Do you trust DeFoote?
[17/09/2010 22:45:57] Daniel Schreber: Dewar's not liking this, she's shaking her head.
[17/09/2010 22:46:24] Kriss: As far as I can tell, Dr. Schreber could care less what she thinks at the best of times
[17/09/2010 22:50:38] Daniel Schreber: yeah, and he really shouldn't!
[17/09/2010 22:50:49] Kriss: I agree.
[17/09/2010 22:53:10] *** Daniel Schreber added Tiffany Benson ***
[17/09/2010 22:54:03] Daniel Schreber: tiffany, you don't want to see this!!!
[17/09/2010 22:54:31] Tiffany Benson: what's going on?
[17/09/2010 22:54:35] *** Missed conference call. ***
[17/09/2010 22:54:47] Daniel Schreber: dan is resting
[17/09/2010 22:55:07] Kriss: You got him to relax, finally?
[17/09/2010 22:57:00] Daniel Schreber: yes.
[17/09/2010 22:57:16] Kriss: That's good
[17/09/2010 22:57:46] Daniel Schreber: dan almost got himself a concussion trying to fit feet first in the punch bowl!
[17/09/2010 22:58:04] Kriss: Poor guy. He seemed to get very drunk very quickly
[17/09/2010 22:59:13] Daniel Schreber: he's not know to be a heavy drinker.
[17/09/2010 22:59:19] Daniel Schreber: known
[17/09/2010 22:59:40] Kriss: Ah, I understand
[17/09/2010 23:06:33] Daniel Schreber: Now that "the life of the party" has collapsed, should we go on without him? Meg Dewar has left the building!!!
[17/09/2010 23:07:37] Kriss: She has? I imagine she was pretty angry, huh?
[17/09/2010 23:08:25] Daniel Schreber: I think people misunderstood the time that this was supposed to happen!
[17/09/2010 23:08:55] Daniel Schreber: she was puckered up like a prune when she left...lol
[17/09/2010 23:09:48] Kriss: How do you mean 'misunderstood the time this was supposed to happen'?
[17/09/2010 23:12:19] Daniel Schreber: 11 people were registered as attendees, but they must have gotten the time wrong!
[17/09/2010 23:13:40] Kriss: Oh, indeed. Seems to be the way
[17/09/2010 23:13:45] Tiffany Benson: I was at work earlier, too.
[17/09/2010 23:14:03] Kriss: Dr. Schreber changed the time on the invite a couple of times, as I recall.
[17/09/2010 23:14:42] Daniel Schreber: oh, i knew I should have taken care of it for him!
[17/09/2010 23:15:52] Kriss: Indeed. Perhaps if you rescheduled over the weekend,you'd have more luck? After all, people tend to have post-work plans on a Friday
[17/09/2010 23:18:56] Daniel Schreber: i don't think dr. schreber will feel up to it tomorrow, or even sunday!
[17/09/2010 23:19:14] Kriss: Well, that's understandable
[17/09/2010 23:20:10] Daniel Schreber: in his defense, he was just planning a little happy hour to get a jump on the weekend!!
[17/09/2010 23:20:40] Kriss: Well, that's understandable
[17/09/2010 23:21:13] Kriss: I'm glad you were there with him when this happened, Emma
[17/09/2010 23:22:05] Daniel Schreber: well, where else would i be!? it's not like i have a social life!
[17/09/2010 23:23:07] Kriss: I'm sorry to hear that. The doctor was saying that he was worried about you
[17/09/2010 23:24:21] Daniel Schreber: do you know how it is, tiffany?
[17/09/2010 23:25:21] Tiffany Benson: working a lot? yeah. and, it does seem to get more difficult to make friends as you get older...
[17/09/2010 23:25:46] Daniel Schreber: you said it grrl!
[17/09/2010 23:26:32] Daniel Schreber: it's so incongrous, saying something and being reminded that I'm on Dan's account!!!
[17/09/2010 23:27:00] Tiffany Benson: lol!
[17/09/2010 23:27:05] Kriss: Why don't you have a account, Emma? I've wondered that for a while...
[17/09/2010 23:28:16] Daniel Schreber: I just haven't had the time, i have no life remember!! (tapping my head)
[17/09/2010 23:29:01] Kriss: Well, it really is a shame. A great girl like you should have a social life. I'm sure he'd understand if you wanted to take the night off and just socialise
[17/09/2010 23:29:36] Tiffany Benson: I discovered a cool tapas bar in Chicago...
[17/09/2010 23:29:52] Daniel Schreber: oh, now that he's taking a sabbatical that might be possible!
[17/09/2010 23:30:11] Daniel Schreber: tapas!! i love tapas!
[17/09/2010 23:30:23] Kriss: I'm now craving tapas
[17/09/2010 23:30:34] Kriss: I've been crazing cannoli all day! lol
[17/09/2010 23:30:40] Daniel Schreber: only i won't take my top off or anything!
[17/09/2010 23:30:47] Daniel Schreber: ROTFL
[17/09/2010 23:31:08] Daniel Schreber: tapas - topless, get it?
[17/09/2010 23:31:13] Tiffany Benson: you two are hysterical!
[17/09/2010 23:31:29] Kriss: Do I get topless?
[17/09/2010 23:31:34] Kriss: LOL
[17/09/2010 23:31:55] Daniel Schreber: must be tipsy myself!! I make bad jokes when i'm tipsy
[17/09/2010 23:32:38] Daniel Schreber: so, you were saying, tiffany?
[17/09/2010 23:34:14] Tiffany Benson: well, my hubby and I had a lot of fun at the bar while we were visiting Chicago. We actually had more fun than we expected; didn't know we were barflies
[17/09/2010 23:35:12] Tiffany Benson: so, now we go to a bar every now and again at home. it's just something to consider if you want to hang out and socialize Emma.
[17/09/2010 23:40:04] Daniel Schreber: I'm a member of meetup.com, but not a participating member. Once again, time constraints!
[17/09/2010 23:41:05] Daniel Schreber: meetup sounds more like me that meat-up at the bar!
[17/09/2010 23:41:55] Kriss: lol
[17/09/2010 23:42:00] Daniel Schreber: ewww...i did warn you!
[17/09/2010 23:43:27] Kriss: wait, umm, wow. I wasn't aware of that site...
[17/09/2010 23:44:36] Tiffany Benson: me either. i'm looking at it now. interesting
[17/09/2010 23:44:51] Daniel Schreber: i must be tipsier than i thought - what site?
[17/09/2010 23:45:55] Kriss: meetup.com
[17/09/2010 23:46:23] Daniel Schreber: oh. i AM tispier than i thot!
[17/09/2010 23:47:36] Tiffany Benson: have you ever managed to meet anyone through this site?
[17/09/2010 23:47:45] Daniel Schreber: oh THAT's the way to go in a big city - if there's no connection you can just enjoy the event!
[17/09/2010 23:48:10] Kriss: fair enough
[17/09/2010 23:49:18] Daniel Schreber: I met someone at a meetup, but he made it very clear that he was happily married and was only doing it for the activities (tennis, hiking, etc.)
[17/09/2010 23:50:16] Tiffany Benson: Ah well.
[17/09/2010 23:50:32 | Edited 23:50:35] Kriss: Well, that sounds about right. The whole looking for someone online thng is always a minefield
[17/09/2010 23:53:31] Daniel Schreber: that's a depressing thought!
[17/09/2010 23:54:00] Kriss: Well, it's not to say it doesn't work out for some, of course

Emma has a diary: http://ekmdiary.wordpress.com

And I can't take the lead on this game much longer, I'm almost totally lost. Could use some back-up, to be honest.

I sent in my proposal to Memory Warrior:

Quote:

According to the Dr., Mr. Hand will approach and attempt to kidnap the Dr. sometime in the near future. I believe it is imperative that we manipulate the time and space of that meeting. To that end, I have a plan to lure and ambush Mr. Hand. Since the Dr.'s research has been completed, I believe it would be plausible for him to announce he has found another promising research project somewhere far away. It is important he not verbalize the actual place as Mr. Hand should not be able to procure any information other than the Dr. is leaving soon. Hopefully, if Mr. Hand expects the Dr. to leave to an unknown place he will be compelled to take the Dr. before the Dr. disappears of his own volition. The Dr. (or Emma) will announce a going away party (we do like our parties) at a specific time (probably the night before he "leaves") and place (probably our usual party place). Of course, Interpol will be hiding and waiting on and around the property. I suggest Emma bring her new friend John; I think he may prove useful. The rest of the guest list should be small - we don't want anything to deter Mr. Hand from showing up. At some point during the evening, Emma and John should go out for a stroll and leave the Dr. in the building alone (except for hiding Interpol people, of course). This should provide Mr. Hand with his opportunity to retrieve the Dr., which should provide Interpol with the opportunity to grab Mr. Hand. At this point, the Dr. should announce his intent to stay for one more day to wrap up with Interpol. The Dr. and Interpol should seem relieved and as though the ordeal is completed - as if they believe the Dr. is no longer in any danger. In reality, Interpol will continue their presence on the Dr.'s property waiting for the second kidnapping attempt. Hopefully, Mr. Book will choose to continue pursuing the Dr. in Mr. Hand's stead (the Dr. seems so important to their plans). If so, he will believe he only has one more chance and should appear during the Dr.'s new "last day," and Interpol should be able to acquire Mr. Book.

I'm trying to help out - I'm just not always sure how best to do that.

New post today at Memory Warriors with a Latin phrase. From what I can tell it says this:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

atrum angeli pulsatus terra aliae vent ex atrum populus coepi evanidus

and it translates to this:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

dark angel touched earth other vent out of dark populace began vanishing

I received the following (edited for brevity) response to my proposal from Memory Warrior:

Quote:

After 5 pm EST on October 17 our proposal portfolio will be complete. We will then begin to evaluate them on the following criteria:

1. How many dependencies does the proposal have? For example, "I plan to do x if y". No more than 5 dependencies will be accepted. (25 points)
2. How plausible is the proposal? (25 points)
3. Have the steps and measures of success been clearly outlined in the proposal? (25 points)
4. How successful do we think the proposal is going to be?

So, now you know the expiry date and you know the guidelines. I'd like to see some rival proposals!

Yikes. I have a final this week and I have to write a couple of articles for ARGNet. So I don't think I'll be able to author a proposal. Sad

I say we go with yours.
