First, adding to what Isis got:

Are you still going to hook me up with another seeker?

Hello. It's been a while.
Interesting . . . most interesting. Excuse me for a moment.
I say that screaming at yourself to wake up in a dream is about as efficient a tactic as dropping an anvil on yourself - but at least the screaming in the dream won't cause bodily harm, as an anvil would.


Second,

If the last part is "I'll see you tomorrow", that isolates "i w i" between Trinity40dn and I'll. The actual screen name on iveryquote is trinity40DN, not Trinity40dn. Whether there is anything to the capitalization, I don't know. Has anyone messaged trinity40DN?



Also, "Verklempt" is what Mike Myers used to say in the coffee talk sketch on SNL. No mystery there.

I think OV may have just DoS'd me
I was talking to him them !BLAM! im out of AIM and i cant access the internet, so i restart, and i still can connect to aim
This also could be from other computer problems though,(I've been in computer hell as of recent)
This is really frusterating. I was mid-freakin' conversation!
Oh well, maybe another time

New conversation with O.V.

Log attached... I use trillian, so it's text-only. Apologies.

Do you think this guy is all about the Bible, or do you think he just responds when people question him about it? I've noticed that he never really is the one to bring it up, and when others do he is forthright in saying what he has to say, even if it's saying he doesn't wanna talk about it...

I dunno, just sayin'

Hmm.. this may be construed as "spoilerish"

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I wasn't looking for clues to the puzzle directly... I was looking for clues to the puzzle-maker. He speaks a lot of "The Truth" and makes allusions to enlightenment. These are spiritual issues... I'm interested in finding out how deep his knowledge of religion goes, so I'll know how he thinks. The Gnostics spent a lot of time talking about the enlightenment of knowledge, and he seemed to lean that way. His name, Sachchit, is Hindu, and means "Truth," or "Consciousness." Hindu mythology speaks of an ultimate state of being called "Brahman" ... that's a point of enlightenment when a person stops reincarnating and becomes one with Atman. The Buddhists also speak of enlightenment, though after this conversation I don't feel the need to ask about that particular philosophy. It's clear that he regards the Canonized portion of the Bible as the most accurate representation of the truth. The Bible's not very esoteric, so I believe for the moment we can stop relying upon that as a source. If we know how he thinks, what his personal spiritual and philosophical trappings are, it may help chart the course he's taking. That's why I asked the question. It's also why I asked about Plato's Cave Allegory... he was unfamiliar with it... if he has done any philosophical research at all, it most likely didn't include the classics (Plato, Atistotle, Socrates), so we must look elsewhere to pinpoint his logic.

When I speak to him again, I'm going to remind him of his use of Archimedes. He was also a philosopher, but I have some homework to do before I can ask probing questions about him specifically. There may be a connection with Pythagoras as well, since Pythagoras was a colleague of Archimedes, very much a philosopher (he headed a mathematical religious cult), and was well-known for presenting his potential followers/students with a daunting test. I haven't seen any direct parallels with that test yet, however.

Some of us are good at finding the source code of the pages, I'm better at finding the source code of the author. I think both are important keys to unlock some doors.

I really doubt that OV is expressing anything having to do with gnosticism, as modern christianity views gnosticism as a heretical offshoot of christianity. After saying the things he has about Islam, I really dont think he's going to be tolerant of it. His comments on the bible pretty much get rid of any question, as a gnostic would not say what OV has about the bible.

Have you found anything interesting?

And, out of curiosity, what good will that do? I'm not saying it's a bad idea, just... what do you hope to gain by knowing about the person behind it all?

since posting that last reply, the page has changed a couple times.... it looks like it's just filling in the parts that didn't quite work out right.

Hola,

I've talked to OhVerisimilitude. Twice.

Highligts:

* He said he wasn't a female, ergo he was male.
* To a question if he had 'someone special', he answered that he has many 'someone specials'.
* He talked about love, God and Bible.
* He made a typo. When I asked him how could he make a typo, if he's an A.I., he answered - "Do you think computers don't make typos?"

Hello.

I've talked to OV twice as well now, and I think whatever "Truth" he is searching for is much closer to home than we (or at least I) had previously thought.

Upon asking OV where he lived he told me "I am on the East Coast of the United States."

I then asked his opinion of the recent presidential elections, "My political perspective is mine and mine alone. I will decline to answer this."

Next I asked if any political outcome, now or in the future, would affect his "Truth". Again he refused to answer stating that that would include his political perspective.

Finally, I told him, "I can assume then that your interpretation of the Matrix scenario is indeed different from the Brother's in that it impacts this plane of existance. As the Brother's had viewed it, politics would have absolutely no impact on the world which mattered."

To which he replied, "Then be content with your assumption. I choose not to answer questions about politics."

I asked no more on that topic. Just thought that this would be some good food for thought to some of you, and I am fairly certain now that he is indeed not a bot.
