I know that we are the stoa. But we aren't the stuma. i think the stuma are the bad guys. And look at the first tumblr post.

I'm pretty sure Wallace did something that the Stuma like, but that the Keepers aren't too happy about. We, as the Stoa, are on the keepers side, i think. But both sides are trying to get to Wallace. I think wallace must have done SOMETHING to............. Oh my god..
There MUST be a direct connection between Wallace and the CETYO. THAT'S why the Stuma like him and the Keepers want to find him. The Curator mentioned:

Fuck. They are here. It appears that they may be already spreading their "message". Hopefully, they haven't contacted Wallace yet. Hopefully. We are not even sure who he is in this timeline yet. We are not even sure if we want to approach him. The ever probing mystery of being the one who either upsets the series of events, or keeps them in play.
However, I'm still unsure as to what role we have to play in all of this.....
I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Maybe neither are the "bad guys". The CEYTO and Stuman are opposing each other in a conflict. Possibly some of both their comments are justifications of their position in a long history? So when we choose to aid either we should attempt to ask them questions to gain info. Am uncertain 'tho if we are actually the Stoa.

Ayden signs off his comments with AYD. Am wondering now if that's an acronym?
With the two spaces, I thot he might be going for H AYDN but other than F. J. Haydn I don't see anything there.
Could be your guess is pretty astute, Booba. Have been wondering if Ayden's fascination with churches is b/c many are noted for their fine acoustics adding something extra to his musical experience.

I have a few problems with that. Firstly, we don't even know what CEYTO is yet, but we know the Stuma are in favor of it. So you've got your factions a bit twisted. The sides we DO know of is the Keepers vs the Stuma.
Secondly, From an ARG standpoint, It wouldn't make sense to make the players pick sides, as everyone so far has had access to both side's broadcast. We wouldn't be able to do anything hidden from the other side.
And I'm pretty sure we are the Stoa now, because the keepers sure THINK we are. Let's just play along for now.

Hi Draconis1025, Believe you've totally misunderstood what I was trying to say. I'm explicitly saying it's not necessary and unwise to "pick sides" & neither the CEYTO (which I'll stand by) or the Stuma are "bad guys". Also ARG instincts say to find out more about who the Stoa are by asking questions.

And I think you also misunderstood me. I'm not saying we need to PICK sides, I think we are already ON a side without being given the choice. However, I DO agree that we don't know nearly enough right now. Any ideas on how we can get more info? Maybe pose as a Stuma supporter to get more information on the Keepers and Stoa?
Also, your whole thing with CETYO? I think THAT'S the thing we know the least about, so we should see if we can learn more about that. For the sake of knowledge. And totally not to prove who's right or anything.

Certainly, Draconis1025, you should play and make the choices that make you happy. Personally, I definitely don't feel I've been forced to choose any side in their conflict 'tho am very fond of Ayden. (who's adorable imo ) Have you seen the reddit site which clarifies abit who the CEYTO are?

Amandel, not gonna lie here, I think If they do make us choose sides, whichever side has Ayden will get all of us. Because he is awesome. In every way.
Also, I did lots of checking, and nothing suggests a real life event today in the state of Washington, which i suggested earlier might happen. Darn. Oh well. Looking forward to hearing how Wallace's First day on the new job went.

I think it would cute to see a picture of Ayden with the monocle he mentioned in one of the broadcasts!
As for finding out more, has anyone else been using the tumblr ask page to ask about "who is who" and whatnots? I recently asked about what CEYTO and CEYKO stood for.

The problem with that is that i doubt we're going to get any straight answers. Ayden's a little out of it, and the Operator doesn't have time to transmit detailed info.

At least for right now i dont think we HAVE a part. Were catalysts. Thats it. Sort of like watchers. But if it comes to sides, im goin for wallace. Ayden doesnt make sense more than half the time. Yes hes adorable, but so are puppies and so far thats all he is. A puppy. And i cant talk to puppies

He comes with a hat too! \(*_*)/

Response to the question about acronyms:
Quote:
FLASH TRANSMISSION FROM THE OPERATOR STOP AS A MEMBER OF THE STOA RESISTANCE STOP THE ACRONYMS ARE ONLY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND YOUR ENEMY STOP CEYKO IS THE ORIGINAL TERM CONFLATED BY DR GUSTUS VAIMON AND STANDS FOR CYBERNAUTICALLY ENGINEERED YTTRIUM KINETIN ORGANISM STOP CEYTO IS A RALLYING CRY BY THE WALLITES AND STANDS FOR CEYKONAUTS ENGINEER YOUR THINKING INTO OBSOLESCENCE STOP THE LIBRARIAN ALWAYS STATED THAT THE STUMANS DIDN'T UNDERSTAND ACRONYMS DUE TO THE EXTRA I STOP WE HOPE THE STOA DON'T HAVE THE SAME ISSUE STOP CONTACT WITH THE MECHANIC HAS BEEN FULLY SEVERED STOP TRUST IS NOT AT ISSUE AS RECONFIGURATION MEANS REINDEXING THE MIMIX STOP AYDEN STILL NOT ABLE TO BE LOCATED STOP WALLACE IS BELIEVED TO BE ORIGINALLY NAMED SOMETHING ELSE THAT INVOLVES THE NAUTICS STOP CURRENT YEAR OF OPERATOR IS OF NO CONSEQUENCE TO THE STOA FULL STOP
And for easier reading:
Quote:
Transmission from the Operator:
As a member of the STOA resistance, the acronyms are only important to understand your enemy. CEYKO is the original term conflated by Dr. Gustus Vaimon and stands for Cybernautically Engineered Yttrium Kinetin Organism. CEYTO is a rallying cry by the Wallites and stands for CEYKO-nauts Engineer Your Thinking into Obsolence. The Librarian always stated that the Stumans didn't understand acronyms due to the extra "I". We hope the STOA don't have the same issue.
Contact with the Mechanic has been fully severed. Trust is not at issue as reconfiguration means re-indexing the mimix. AYDEN still not able to be located. Wallace is believed to be originally named something else that involves the nautics.
Current year of Operator is of no consequence to the STOA.
A reply to another states that sending these transmissions is a resource drain, and that we will just have to wait for their next transmission.
I take it that we need not worry about the Mechanic going rogue then?

I think we are ok..but would feel better if I knew what the frak a mimix was. I should add that to my little who-what-when cheat sheet...
So, Wallace's name has something to do with nautics. My question is this...nautic how? By sea? Or by air? Like spaceship air?

Well, yttrium is an actual element
http://www.chemicool.com/elements/yttrium.html and kinetin is a plant hormone http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetin ...which leads....to....nothing.
:sigh: seems we are in a holding pattern..yeah? I'm still trying to figure out a correlation between the pictures in the first YouTube video.
It's also Monday. Was kinda expecting a post from Wallace about his new job.
