More texting, if anyone wants to jump in with suggestions. The video he references is #7 (we think) http://youtu.be/Y9NjkxIkV6c where the home movie bookends the blonde woman sleeping.

Me: Hi Chris, it's Wani again. We all hope you are ok today, all things considered. Have you heard from your sister? Have you learned any more about your brother? 9:54 PM
+19092854175: I'm a little shaken up over here. All I know of my brother was from the note in the safety deposit box. 10:04 PM
+19092854175: And the mention of a first born from the journal. 10:05 PM
Me: I'm so sorry, Chris. I truly wish I could help more. I remember the line: 'I regret my son couldn't live up to his father's name.' ... was there another? 10:09 PM
+19092854175: Unknown sibling, my sister, me. That's it. I assume I'm the failure. 10:12 PM
+19092854175: Although I have a feeling we've seen the other. 10:15 PM
Me: Dont be so quick to assume! and not just bc I am on your side. I wonder if your dad was involving him before your dad died. Explains the note in the mask. 10:16 PM
Me: and other friends want you to know that if it is your failure, then failure is good. It shows you have strength and humanity. you can be be proud of that 10:16 PM
+19092854175: Rewatch the "sleeping girl" video. The guy with the kids. He bears a resemblence. 10:18 PM
Me: #7, with the home movie book-ending the sleeping woman... Does the little girl look like your sister? And something is written on his shirt? 10:24 PM
+19092854175: I don't know. I think my father is shooting that video and that guy may be my brother. 10:31 PM
Me: I see the resemblance. I wonder how old that video is. Is there... any chance that little girl is Melissa? 10:41 PM

New video.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Sounds like the police want Chris to kill uncle Don, and Melissa implies that Kathleen's parents will get killed if Chris doesn't do it

Very Happy double post
So... Chris needs us to answer a question. Should he or should he not kill his uncle don. I think i vote yes. There is no poll option on the forum as near as I can tell. Please let's vote on it. Smile

Should Chris kill uncle Don?

Yes ___
No __

Nevermind, I'm going to vote for Chris to use DNC as his proxy. Laughing

I vote for him not to. Well, sort of. D: I don't want him to! But it seems like the plot is pushing us this way.

Eeer, seconding the proxy, but using Don instead. Follow even more in his father's legacy. Or DNC, yea. Smile

I'm sold on the proxy idea. Tell DNC to save Uncle Don and inherit the thing.

This is an interesting debate...so let me be utterly useless and throw in about 4 differing opinions!

1) Chris leaves it- (or as I like to call it the "Chris gets everyone with less screen time killed" theory) I think this might work, calling their bluff, as they say about having a code to follow, well in theory if they follow this code then they are limited on the people they can kill

2) The Proxy- Well, if Chris' dad can elect Don as a proxy to do all the killing, why can't Chris keep DNC and/or Don as his people? It seems like he could make the rules as he went along, so why cant Chris?

3) DNC takeover- It seems DNC is rather put upon, he is called dumb and is second in command, maybe Chris could let DNC take over the role

4) Killing- Chris kills Don and takes over. This seems morally bad but cleaner. But I wonder, is it wise to put Chris at the head of an army of murders? I mean, he cant just tell them "everyone go home and please stop killing everyone" as most likley one of them would stab him and take over.


-Something that came up in IRC when I was writing this was the fact that DNC said on twitter that he would be killed and replaced. Presuming DNC on twitter is DNC we have seen in the bar (Which I have my doubts about) then why would he need to die to be replaced?. I wonder if DNC wants to lead (he takes glee in his work) but can not kill Don (pride, dedication to the system, or maybe he needs information only Don will tell Chris) so will let Chris kill Don and then kill Chris?

- Overall something here does not sit right, I mean the whole idea that Don set this up to lead Chris to this point is odd..I mean Chris has not been the sharpest tool in the shed so presuming he would get to here is a big jump. DNC has a message we won't like...I wonder could this be the message that killing Don is a waste of time? I mean that scientology angle has sort of gone missing, but if thats involved then Don is a medium rank grunt at that. Could Don just be a distraction while DNC is running the show from behind? It is always said second in command is the best place to be, it means you can control the leader without the issues if it all goes wrong..

I've tweeted this to Chris and I stand by my belief that Chris should not kill Don. Giving them what they want is exactly what shouldn't be done. It's just not going to work.


But, on an unrelated side note...has anyone else noticed that DNC isn't following Chris on Twitter anymore? o-o

Thanks waitress. Very Happy Oh my god that mask is a bitch to wear and cut my face so much I have little scabs around my eyes where the eyeholes are
I have more respect for DNC for wearing that mask long enough to kill someone. (eww, morbid XD) I couldn't wear it for more then a half hour at a time.

Aaaaanyway:
Okay, went with the proxy option. :< Not happy about it, but it makes the most sense. Let's hope he's smart enough to make whatever changes he hopes to make gradual instead of some sudden "Let's go home and stop this". He could even coem up with some reason for why they suddenly don't need to kill anymore. Smile He would be in charge, after all. AND his father WAS the one who started it all, he could be all "my father is speaking through me" or something. (Well, it started with whoever trained his dad, but they had a shared delusion, so blahblah)

Tweeted him about the proxy thing, might tweet him about the gradual change and stuff later if he responds. Will text him tommorrow night since it's fucking 1AM here. Oh the joys of convention life.

nice costume! Very Happy




It is strange that Adams asked Chris to end all killing his uncle. They could simply tap their phone and wait for an appointment to catch them all? what is achieved if Chris kills his uncle? The rest are still there, "saving" lives ... Chris can not assume leadership and say: Hey! this is over, everyone go home. Not work. It would be "saved" by another.

Well, Melissa wants Chris to kill his uncle. The uncle wants to kill him. And Adams also wants it. In which part is the detective?

Well, it could work.he'd just have to trick them instead of going "I'm dissolving this cult" he'd be telling them something like "I've been told bh soand so that the world is now finally in ballence so we are no longer needed." And not right as he takes power, but also not too long after.

It's a chinless grey skull mask (google that exactly) and a resperator I don't quite remember the exaxt model number for. Thanks for all the compliments! Smile so far only. One person has recognized me, and she was really nervous and ran off after saying "It's DNC!" XD

Also going to be entering into a "Heroes and Villans" contest on Sunday as DNC. XD Should be fun. They take you up on stage and interview your character. They take mainstream and indie stuff! Excited. :p


AAAAnyway. To get back to the acutual game, I'll be texting MDT about "are you okay, you're not talking to us and did you hear what we all think you should do, what ARE you going to do? ect" stuff tonight at about 9ish.

Sorry for the Double Post. ><

Texting some with Chris, but not sure if I should respond or just leave him be. Asked him how he was, if he had decided, and he said:

"I'm weighing my options. I don't like any of them. I can't kill my uncle. I can't run away..."

I can't think of what to say. I'm thinking about just leaving him be unless he texts me back. It's been half an hour, so I guess it's a dead end unless I prod him, but maybe he just wants to be left alone. Thoughts? Should I poke Chris with a stick? Or leave him to think?
