 		Ok. So we know the Pattern's in charge of that line now. Someone should probably mention that to Nicole...

It's sort of useful knowing that the Pattern is monitoring things. Maybe we can feed them misinfomration and distract them from Karen?

 		Just asked him, in code, if he had another way that we could contact him. Will keep you posted! Though I used the classic approach with the 11th word. Hopefully he'll get it.

Looks like you got the only reply. I didn't get one from him. I have a feeling the coded message will probably have the word pattern in it, it seemed odd for him to work that into his reply to you.


That's what I'm thinking too. But the Sebald code is supposed to be every 11th word after the bell ringing. Wondering if the 10-2 is a clue?

Edit: Got it! 10-2=8 = every 8th word. "the pattern is in control of this account"


Awesome job! Very Happy

 		No, but you guys, I love that this is the Lemony Snicket code! Okay, I'll post the last few messages and then I'm probably off to bed.

The world is quiet here, though there's this annoying bell-like ringing in my ear. I hope you are doing well. How has your day been? My little brother keeps sending me an instant message. He really likes to annoy me, I guess. How is the weather there? My brother is proud he learned the Konami code. Come on, it's not that hard. Told him but he doesn't want to hear it. He willl take any chance to seem better than me. Oh well. Mom and dad always say to let him once in a while. Anyways, getting back to work. By the way, do you like Mad Men? I just saw this episode that was good. Though the actors are very white. But I would not complain if Don gave me his numbers. Church bells ringing at this hour? Crazy.

Then we cracked the code

Amalie wrote:
Man, these ringing bells got even louder. Every day it gets worse and worse. when it is morning birds sing very loudly outside by my window. Do you have problems with birds? I bet some one like you must love nature anyway. I do not think that I have ever met a man who did not have ideas of another, better world in nature. My dad told me to get way into fishing this summer. We have a small boat, so of course he wants us to use it often. He loves contacting old friends to brag. It is very nice talking to you. My phone's ringing! Talk to you later!

I am sorry for not replying for some time, it seems like my phone will not stop ringing. Had to make sure it was no one that I had to respond to right away. Some people will do anything to ensure that you have as busy of a day as possible. The only comforting fact about this is knowing my job is secure. I always make sure to be happy, it's my moral code. Oh, there my phone is ringing again! Farewell!

Amalie wrote:
It's okay, I understanding. Sorry, my doorbell just rang. How inconvenient! Every time I try to sit down so I can get some work done, somebody interrupts me. Day after next, we are going to go to the zoo. Maybe it will help with the stress of daily life. Seeing animals frolic together and be happy is always nice. I love to read about where the animals are from. It is always interesting. Anyway, it is getting late. I should be getting ready for bed and lock up. My house is creaky. It must be the old wood. And I have to set the alarm! The ringing wakes me up even when I'd rather stay under the covers.


Sooo... Yep! I'm thinking that Jon/Joseph B. will probably be comfortable talking to anyone through this code. Hopefully he will contact us with some clue as to what to do next. [/i]

 		So it seems that whoever responded to my emails was either not the same person replying to yours or just figured he didn't need to send the same message twice. After asking about Zombies in the Snow I got back:

Quote:
Yes, of course!
Thank you for your support- Jon


I suppose I could try to reply in code but you seem to have a good rapport with Jon/Joseph.

 		For some reason I have never had a reply from the missing email or Nicole

Now I kinda thought we were leaving Mr Felt alone for now.

Given that I don't have anyone to email or can get a reply from anyone I'm feeling like a bit of a spare wheel right now lol if that makes sense.

However we are getting the information which is great!!

I hope he plays with another way to contact him .

Amalie! Have you had any word from Nicole as to wether or not she plans to let Karen stay with her?

I am gonna have a quick recap oer tals google document jut because this is getting very involved and has a fair few people, just to keep myself on track here.

With regards to the email thing and the Jon Joseph, might just be a continuity error? It doesn't seem to major, unless we are along with 2 different ppl using the same account - in which case it seems a good idea to get a secure line of contact in place.

God I hate typing on an iPad.

So yeah feeling like a bit of a spare tyre In the car boot at the moment but will still follow and see what's happening here And there...

Although can someone (for my own sanity) confirm if we are or are not still contacting an emailing the following

Mr felt and dark0 because last I knew there was a whole let leave them for now and yet some are still in contact? So yeah ... Dunno what's goin on right about now! Lol

(Sometimes I live I a permanent state of confusion so excuse me if I have missed a post relating to any of the above)

 		I actually don't think we should leave Dark0 alone. Not bombard him/them with intrusive questions, perhaps, but I don't see no reason for radio silence either.
I say go ahead and play.

 		No news from Nicole as to what she's decided about letting Karen stay with her. I think she wanted advice. Do we have advice for her?
Also nothing back from Papa Blackwell yet.

glad you said that! lol i was going to shoot an email off tonight, i also agree, i see no particular reason why we should leave him alone and go all silence Razz

i also recieved an email from nicole Smile

Hello! Sorry, haven't had time to reply to everybody individually, just been picking and choosing since (I think, at least the idea I was given) was that everybody's sharing the info so it's kinda... frustrating everybody asking the same questions over and over. But, rambling sorry. Thanks for the support. :3 No, i don't know anything about any Felt, but google brings up the famous Mark Felt (Deepthroat)- not sure if that helps or not? -shrug-


i was going to reply saying we got the connection a while back but i dont really think i have anything to ask at present.

I was going to reply saying oh i think it might be a good idea if you let karen stay with you i watched your video ect... but i dont wanna say that if
you guys dont think its a good idea.

@Amalie i say go ahead and say that nicole can stay? thats my vote anyway - i really wanna see what happens! LOL I think we have left it a rather long time to reply to nicole about what she should do, so it might be worth just biting the bullet and saying we think you should let her stay with you

I agree with this. When I recommended we should ease up, I didn't mean stop entirely.

 		I did mean to stop entirely, but I can be wrong. Go ahead and talk to Dark0, see if there's any way we can get on his good side.

At the moment I'm probably gonna take a break from this game for a day or two. I've got RL concerns to worry about, but I'll check back in when I can and if I get an email from anyone i'll post it.

Keep up the awesome job, guys

Okay! I will do that then.

Edit: Emailed her to ask if she had made up her mind. She said

I still want to talk with her in person, there's a lot that I still don't understand. No promises one way or another.
