 		Kate has 1 photo in her blog, and there are 5 grey man photos in Virgil's email account. I did download them, just in case our access to his gmail is lost; and would be glad to post them here, if anyone is interested. They don't look like the same guy to me. (Probably just random subjects... seems like the PM's could at least just get one actor to portray the mystery dude, lol.)

Wishing I were there onsite in Montreal to join in the LARP'ing! Thanks, Christien, for being our agent on the ground.

 		So Frederica Lopez of Colefusion actually emailed me today in response to an email of mine. They actually noticed me. Huh, that's unusually gratifying.

However, it does have an assignment in it, which I may need some help on. Is anyone in our pool of talent particularly artistic? Because I'm not very...

Here's what was said:

Hello Zobot,



Things are quite hectic here lately and we've been busy, I have just been given some instructions for our next task however. We require blueprints of the Proto-Arm that would be presentable to some of our other executives of ColeFusion. All the important workings of the Proto-Arm should be clearly labeled and detailed well.



Feel free to gather some of your team to help you and to begin brainstorming how the blueprints should be laid out. When you are done you can email me the finished blueprints and I will pass them along.



The deadline for this assignment is a week from today, if you require an extension please let me know.

Unfortunately I have not been told of any new online admin privileges that would be granted to you as a result of your promotion.

If your admin privileges are changed or there are new instructions for the current blueprint assignment I will send another email.

Thanks again for your patience, your dedication to ColeFusion has not gone unnoticed.

Federica


So I've got to design a blueprint. I do know some talented artists I could talk to for help on this OUTSIDE the players in the game, who have given me art for this before, but I'd rather have someone whose playing do it so I can name drop and hopefully swing a promotion for someone in Colefusion if it's at all possible. Is anyone here good at drawing?

 		Hey,
I found all 5 locations of the pictures in Virgil archives. I'm not sure if knowing where the photos were taking is relevant to the game, but here it is anyway.

The trip should be in order of the photo numbers:
http://maps.google.ca/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=213742393202099365645.0004a89977e0d11741a91&hl=en&doflg=ptk&ie=UTF8&ll=45.499459,-73.575826&spn=0.010122,0.026157&z=16

I hope that link works.
The street view of the locations were obviously take quite a long time ago, it is was during the cold season so it probably looks pretty different with the terraces and flowers missing.

 		Virgil may have been wacky but he was wired savvy http://twitter.com/advancethetruth. There's a 'find tweet followers' msg in his inbox.

Huh. Whoever's making this ARG is going all-out, I'll give them that.

I'm following it just out of curiousity.

On a sidenote, gah gah gah I need to make a blueprint for a prosthetic arm and I'm crap artisitically. Then again, I'm bad at nearly everything. Oh well... I can find a friend who can help with it, hopefully.

Thanks for tolerating me, everyone! Even if I haven't helped much...

 		The CJP used my Virgil story. Mentioning not to *whoopie me* (does-silent-whoopie Very Happy ) but b/c ALL the Vincent info is news to me so they used a City PD source. Coffee Hi Zobot. doing blueprints is tough and have myself no skillz with that sort of graphics. Maybe you can tweek something found online? Good Luck Z.

EDIT: Convo between Virgil & Vincent was moved to the Spam. Retrieved it & made screenies of the WHOLE thing. *Sigh@Lurker & Remember IP Nbrs are noted* Smile

 		Email espionage
I find myself wondering, since we found the password into Virgil's account, if there weren't perhaps clues we've missed to hack into ColeHardTruth and/or Stop3Points as well?

 		Possibly?

I don't know, if there was anything about S3P, I think it's a bit late now. The difference is that Virgil literally DIED, instead of ominiously vanishing like S3P and ColeHardTruth did. Which is unusual since it didn't fit our current antagonist's modus operendi.

Still, I'm skeptical about any more information being left over from S3P and ColeHardTruth. We're being spoon-fed information so far, and Virgil has been no exception... we found information from him, and now the next person to follow the bunny trail to seems to be Kate.

I AM confused about Vincent, Virgil's brother, vanishing. Kate knows nothing about it, but Vincent could be a potential ally or something. Has anyone tried emailing him?

EDIT: I'm working on the Blueprint I was requested, and so far it's going well, but it's not leaving me much time for anything else. Anyone helping Kate?

 		New email from MF

Quote:
​​Dear PR Depo,

We've been getting a lot of flak lately from various activist groups for supposedly not taking care of the planet, we find these allegations hurtful and aim to change that public image. Mr.Cole has just given the go ahead to start a green campaign and to launch a newly designed "ColeFusion Certified Green Logo" to place on our future products.

A well designed "certified green" logo will help people see that we care about the environment and that our products reflect our environmentally friendly attitude.



We'd like for you to design the logo and then submit it onto the ColeFusion website by clicking on "Add a PR Campaign", good luck PR team and I expect some excellent results.

-MF

 		I emailed Kate the pictures from virgils archives, and she said that they weren't pictures of the grey man and that he was a little paranoid.
She did say that his description and the feeling he got around him was "spot on"
I also emailed Vincent and got no reply.

I also emailed her. I believe that the Kate/grey man is the next chapter of the story.

Her reply was similar to what CapnZ received as well.
Quote:
Thank you CB,

I took a look at the photos. I think Virgil may have been more delusional than I thought. Those photos don't look like the grey man I've seen. But the description is spot on. Maybe he was getting paranoid and saw more than one manifestation of the grey man.

Thank you for sharing this with me.

-KB


I wonder if maybe there is an implication of a team or army of gray men and not a single gray man. Like the men in black from the Men in Black films....

 		I just tried to log into Virgils gmail account and it didn't work.

It's on gmail.com with theadvancementoftruth as user name and revelation119 as password, right?

It always tells me wrong user name or password.

What am i missing?

 		HI OEG: try user "advancementoftruth" and PW "revelation119". The answer to the 2nd security question is "Montreal". HTH
