I wonder if the 8 was pointing towards the name of the eighth song on the CD. The song is titled "I-E-A-I-A-I-O"

Not sure if the title is an actual lead, though.

something tells me that was an in-game post. Possibly an in-game character all along (he never did make an account). Oh, mods... Rolling Eyes

Looks like it.

@Lystella: That's what I was thinking, too. But I don't listen to System of a Down... "I-E-A-I-A-I-O"... hrm. I'll have to find the song and listen to see if there's a clue there.

I emailed Mr. Whitesides and am awaiting a response.

Oh... Didn't think about the fact that this could be prohibited, sorry.. *totally ashamed be*

Wasn't meant to be an in-game-"account"; just wanted to see if it's fun before spreading my data over the net once more.

Could a mod please delete those two posts...?

Sorry, learned something, read the guidelines, got smarter...

Wait, so, if you aren't an in-game character, than what were those last two posts? You messing with us? Sorry, not trying to be rude here, just a tad confused. Confused

No, I'm not messing with you...
This (A. Fridgeson) was just meant to become my ARG-character (don't like spreading my real data etc.). I then somehow got involved and now it actually is quite ingame. So yes, the post was ingame; that's why I would like a mod to delete it; didn't know about the exact rules concerning ingame-stuff...

Just concider me as a (normal) player, who never ever wrote that post (here). You'd have found out more about me anyway I guess.

Sorry for confusion; wasn't meant to be causing all this...

Another connection to the System of a Down song:
From Guss's Facebook: (emphasis mine)
Quote:
<PERSONALIZED>
Just wanted to congratulate those that accomplished breaking the speed of light last evening. You guys lit up the sky.

G. Whitesides


From the lyrics to I-E-A-I-A-I-O: (emphasis mine)
Quote:
I-E-A-I-A-I-O
I-E-A-I-A-I-O, why
As we light up the sky.


Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/s/system+of+a+down/i+e+a+i+a+i+o_20134800.html

ETA:
And this... From Archie's and James Bohon's Facebooks: (emphasis mine)
Quote:
<PERSONALIZED>
Just a head's up on the testing department, the plutonium-irradiated wedding rings that were taken from the couples that have volenteered for testing have bee placed on our clones and do not inhibit the Hivemind. Repeat; plutonium wedding rings do not inhibit the Hivemind testing.


From the song: (emphasis mine)
Quote:
Mine delusions acquainted,
Bubbles erotica,
Plutonium wedding rings,
Icicles stretching,
Bicycles, shoestrings,
One flag, flaggy but one,
Painting the paintings of the alive.
