Yeah i remember Alison saying that both his email boxes where closed.

We'll need to think of some other way of contacting him. Maybe Alison or Tracy or Emily could leave him a not somehow at avelon tech?

But then I suppose there's always a risk that Lyle will find it (damn him!!)

[01:32] Kjartan: err ladies
[01:32] * Kjartan can
[01:32] TracyBunn: I would assume so.
[01:32] Kjartan: hello?
[01:32] TracyBunn: I hope I connected this right.
[01:32] step: yay
[01:33] AlisonYoung: Hey... if you guys can see us... e-mail me.
[01:33] Kjartan: I don't know if they can see us...
[01:33] AlisonYoung: How long, Tracy.
[01:33] TracyBunn: About 20 minutes.
[01:33] AlisonYoung: Okay... I'll wait.
[01:33] Kjartan: you wanna take care of that step? I don't have alison's email on this puter
[01:33] TracyBunn: This is going to be a little cold, Alison.
[01:33] KSG: Hey Alison, Tracy.
[01:33] AlisonYoung: Okay..
[01:34] Kjartan: they can't see us KSG
[01:34] step: sent!
[01:34] AlisonYoung: Oh, yeah... that is cold.
[01:34] Kjartan: danke
[01:34] KSG: Er, yeah.
[01:34] KSG: That's quite weird.
[01:34] TracyBunn: Do you think anybody is on at this time of the night?
[01:34] * Kjartan wonders if they're really who they say they are
[01:34] step: yes!!
[01:34] AlisonYoung: Probably.
[01:34] AlisonYoung: There's always people around.
[01:34] * Kjartan wonders wether steps really who he says he is
[01:34] TracyBunn: Check you're e-mail... I'll wait.
[01:34] KSG: They can't even see the nicklist?
[01:34] step: us people with no life Smile

[01:35] AlisonYoung: Okay... brb.
[01:35] * Kjartan wonders in Kjartan is really who he says he is...
[01:35] step: so - is she in the ARM???
[01:35] Kjartan: Kjartan's got shifty eyes...
[01:35] Kjartan: I think that's what it's gotta be.
[01:35] KSG: Derk was in the ARM, he could see us.
[01:35] Kjartan: Its strange -- they can't both be in
[01:35] AlisonYoung: Yay... they can see us.
[01:36] TracyBunn: Oh good...
[01:36] step: but that would mean she is in the bad ARM Sad

[01:36] TracyBunn: Do you tell them or do I?
[01:36] AlisonYoung: Go ahead.
[01:36] KSG: Neither of them is talking like a voice recognition program, though....
[01:36] TracyBunn: Okay...
[01:36] TracyBunn: Here is the story guys.
[01:36] KSG: Yay, story!
[01:36] TracyBunn: As you can probably tell, we are both here and are typing all of this out.
[01:36] TracyBunn: sorry for that.
[01:37] TracyBunn: We are looking at Derks' program and the one that Alison is about to go in.
[01:37] TracyBunn: So we can't see you right now.
[01:37] TracyBunn: But we hopefully will in a minute.
[01:37] * Kjartan suggests getting windows or other GUI for multitasking...
[01:37] TracyBunn: Since everything is set up we are going in tonight...
[01:37] step: oh crap
[01:38] TracyBunn: in about 15 minutes.
[01:38] KSG: Oh crap!
[01:38] KSG: Email email email!
[01:38] Kjartan: E-mail em...
[01:38] KSG: What was her addy again?
[01:38] TracyBunn: Alison?
[01:38] AlisonYoung: yes, dear... hehe
[01:38] TracyBunn: Smile

[01:38] TracyBunn: I gave the 15 minutes to go speech.
[01:38] KSG: (You were right about her being *busy* with them.)
[01:38] step: emailed!
[01:39] KSG: Phew...hope they check it.
[01:39] AlisonYoung: 14 now
[01:39] Kjartan: step: is it alisonyoungSPLATyahoo.com? or alisonyoungSPLATexcite.com? I forget the address
[01:39] step: simple message: DO NOT USE THE ARM - WE THINK ITS A TRAP!!!
[01:39] AlisonYoung: How's it looking? Good still?
[01:39] * Kjartan sees Akbar
[01:39] JustLurking: alisonyoung123@yahoo
[01:39] step: alisonyoung123SPLATyahoo.com

[01:40] Kjartan: heya lurker

[01:40] AlisonYoung: 10? Darn... hold on.
[01:40] TracyBunn: Well, since Alison has decided to go piddle...
[01:40] step: if this is like the movies - they will check with 2 seconds to spare Smile

[01:40] KSG: *lol*
[01:41] KSG: Like 10 minutes isn't close enough?
[01:41] step: Smile

[01:41] * TracyBunn checks watch... 9 minutes

[01:43] AlisonYoung: Sorry... had to fix my hair
[01:43] *** Kjartan has signed off IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds).
[01:43] AlisonYoung: how long?
[01:43] TracyBunn: 7 minutes
[01:43] AlisonYoung: Hows the program looking?
[01:43] step: oO( poor Kj )

[01:44] step: don't do it!!!!!!
[01:44] KSG: No...cheeeeeck your eeeeeemail.
[01:44] AlisonYoung: I wonder how Derk is going to feel?
[01:44] AlisonYoung: You know? When he sees me for the first time?
[01:45] TracyBunn: ? You're guess is as good as mine.
[01:45] AlisonYoung: Can we see them yet?
[01:45] TracyBunn: Nope...
[01:45] TracyBunn: working on that right now.
[01:45] TracyBunn: 5 minutes
[01:45] step: go Tracy!!!
[01:45] TracyBunn: This is harder then it looks
[01:45] step: get ready to scream people
[01:45] TracyBunn: Too many programs.
[01:45] TracyBunn: Not enough space.
[01:45] TracyBunn: Too slowwww...
[01:45] * KSG is quite ready *
[01:46] TracyBunn: 4 minutes
[01:46] KSG: I think it's just us. Should we set off some highlighters?
[01:46] KSG: Six! Russel! JustLurking!
[01:46] step: JL is here
[01:46] KSG: Good.
[01:46] * AlisonYoung sits in her chair and waits.
[01:46] TracyBunn: 3 minutes
[01:46] TracyBunn: Come on.. load.
[01:47] TracyBunn: I'd like to see their reaction to all of this.
[01:47] step: hahaha
[01:47] JustLurking: yes?
[01:47] * AlisonYoung puts on the "ARM"
[01:47] KSG: Noooo!
[01:47] AlisonYoung: Okay... connect me. But don't load the program yet.
[01:48] TracyBunn: 2 minutes.... roger.
[01:48] KSG: Crap crap crap.
[01:48] step: hurry Tracy! get the connection working!!!
[01:48] * TracyBunn puts her finger on the ENTER button
[01:48] AlisonYoung: You are in such a hurry to get this over with aren't you?
[01:48] TracyBunn: Smile

[01:48] TracyBunn: I just want Derk safe.
[01:48] TracyBunn: 1 minute
[01:49] TracyBunn: Oooo... a flash.
[01:49] TracyBunn: Nope.. my mistake
[01:49] KSG: o.O
[01:49] TracyBunn: Oh... there we go...
[01:49] TracyBunn: Hello everyone
[01:49] KSG: Here goes your two seconds remaining theory.
[01:49] step: ABORT!!!!!! ABORT!!!!! DO NOT GO IN!!!!!
[01:49] *** Kjartan has joined #avelon.
[01:49] TracyBunn: huh?
[01:49] KSG: We think it's a trap!
[01:49] step: stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[01:49] Kjartan: the tension builds -- reboot.
[01:49] KSG: (Just in time. WB.)
[01:49] TracyBunn: Ummm... Alison?
[01:50] AlisonYoung: yeah?
[01:50] TracyBunn: Me thinks we have a problem.
[01:50] JustLurking: doh
[01:50] TracyBunn: Well, they thinks.
[01:50] AlisonYoung: Oh...
[01:50] TracyBunn: Alison can't see you... hold on.
[01:50] step: holding
[01:50] *** AlisonYoung has signed off IRC (Quit: ).
[01:51] TracyBunn: Okay... we are both here now.
[01:51] KSG: It was Lyle in disguise as Harry that told us that the extra ARM was safe. We think he was lying so you would go in.
[01:51] TracyBunn: so, what's the problem?
[01:51] TracyBunn: Oh... Lyle?
[01:51] TracyBunn: How?
[01:51] step: if the no password thing is a lie - you could be trapped just like Derk
[01:52] Kjartan: We're worried that Lyle fed us false info about exiting the ARM
[01:52] KSG: He just came in here with Harry's name...we had no way to tell who we were really talking to.
[01:52] TracyBunn: (Alison) But how was Harry getting out if he had to use a password?
[01:52] step: plus, we have been unable to contact Harry to see what he know about the ARM
[01:52] step: *knows
[01:53] TracyBunn: (Alison) well, crap... get this damn thing off of me then.
[01:53] KSG: Do we know for sure that Harry did get out, or did Lyle say that, too?
[01:53] TracyBunn: (Alison) Tracy!!!
[01:53] TracyBunn: Awww.. crap.
[01:53] TracyBunn: Ummmmm....
[01:53] KSG: Please don't tell me she's stuck in there.
[01:53] TracyBunn: Okay... well, I can explain... really
[01:53] TracyBunn: It wasn't my fault.
[01:53] JustLurking: uh oh
[01:54] TracyBunn: The stupid cup just fell and...
[01:54] step: oh shit
[01:54] KSG: ...?
[01:54] TracyBunn: hold on... let me put her in the chair.
[01:54] TracyBunn: brb
[01:54] KSG: Well...I guess now we just have to go ahead with the plan....
[01:55] Kjartan: yeah, let's have em move forward with all speed... we'll worry about extraction afterwards
[01:55] step: ok
[01:55] *** AlisonYoung has joined #avelon.
[01:55] KSG: Yeah. We still need the password, just like before.
[01:55] AlisonYoung: Thanks...
[01:55] TracyBunn: sorry... it wasn't my fault.
[01:55] step: can you hear us Alison?
[01:55] AlisonYoung: huh? yeah... yeah, I can.
[01:55] AlisonYoung: Odd.
[01:56] Kjartan: What's going on over there?
[01:56] AlisonYoung: Can you see me?
[01:56] Kjartan: yeah, we can
[01:56] step: yup
[01:56] AlisonYoung: Well, it's nighttime.
[01:56] JustLurking: well, it should be about 1am
[01:56] AlisonYoung: And it's cold.
[01:56] Kjartan: do you know where you are?
[01:56] AlisonYoung: Hey... load me a jacket will ya?
[01:56] TracyBunn: Coming right up.
[01:56] AlisonYoung: Awwww... thanks.. much better.
[01:56] AlisonYoung: Umm..
[01:56] * KSG envisions Neo *
[01:56] * AlisonYoung looks around.
[01:56] KSG: "Guns. Lots of guns."
[01:57] step: Smile

[01:57] Kjartan: while you're at it... give her some "bling"
[01:57] KSG: (Take that as a suggestion.)
[01:57] KSG: *lol*
[01:57] AlisonYoung: Well, it looks like I'm downtown.
[01:57] step: Tracy load her a limo
[01:57] AlisonYoung: So, where do I go again?
[01:57] TracyBunn: I'm working on that step.
[01:57] TracyBunn: A cab actually.
[01:57] step: Wink

[01:57] KSG: Or a Harley, to dodge about virtual traffic with.
[01:58] TracyBunn: Okay...
[01:58] Kjartan: or a pimped out escalade... why not go in style
[01:58] TracyBunn: the AvelonTech building is loaded where the main State Farm Office is.
[01:58] KSG: Wait, can you drive a Harley, Alison?
[01:58] AlisonYoung: Whoever said that... no
[01:58] AlisonYoung: I can't.
[01:58] AlisonYoung: So I need to get to Veterans Parkway?
[01:58] TracyBunn: Yeah...
[01:59] AlisonYoung: Wow... that's a hike and a half.
[01:59] TracyBunn: I'm "hailing" you a cab.
[01:59] AlisonYoung: Oh... good.
[01:59] Kjartan: can you eliminate the driver's memory after she gets there Tracy?
[01:59] TracyBunn: Should be there in about 5...4...
[01:59] TracyBunn: 3...
[01:59] TracyBunn: 2...
[02:00] AlisonYoung: good timing
[02:00] TracyBunn: Tell me when you get there Alison.
[02:00] Kjartan: how long is the drive?
[02:00] KSG: Or the driver itself, for that matter.
[02:00] TracyBunn: I don't want you freaking out the cabby.
[02:00] TracyBunn: About 7 minutes
[02:01] TracyBunn: This cabby drives about as bad as I do.
[02:02] TracyBunn: Smile

[02:02] Kjartan: can you upgrade him to dale earnhardt?
[02:02] TracyBunn: hehe
[02:02] TracyBunn: Alison is married.
[02:02] TracyBunn: Smile

[02:02] KSG: *lol*
[02:02] Kjartan: what happens in virtual vegas stays in virtual vegas...
[02:03] TracyBunn: Smile

[02:03] step: hehee
[02:03] KSG: Haha
[02:03] * TracyBunn twiddles fingers
[02:03] TracyBunn: Drive man, drive!
[02:03] KSG: Load her up some good weapons if you haven't. Maybe not 'guns, lots of guns,' but definitely a big knife or something.
[02:04] step: so where exactly did you put Richard's office, inside another building?
[02:04] TracyBunn: I took out the State Farm Office and replaced it with the AvelonTech building.
[02:04] TracyBunn: about the same about of stories.
[02:04] Kjartan: good -- as long as it's not the tiger pit at the local zoo...
[02:04] TracyBunn: Layout is pretty much the same as well.
[02:04] TracyBunn: Less work.
[02:05] step: oh, i thought you were only loading his office
[02:05] Kjartan: good thunkin'
[02:05] TracyBunn: step: nope... whole darn building.
[02:05] step: gotcha
[02:05] AlisonYoung: okay... I'm here.
[02:05] TracyBunn: Yay
[02:06] TracyBunn: Anyone around?
[02:06] AlisonYoung: Not that I can see.
[02:06] Kjartan: hey tracey -- how about steel toed boots for alison... she's good with the kick
[02:06] TracyBunn: hehe
[02:06] TracyBunn: Kj want me to give you steal toed boots.
[02:06] AlisonYoung: Smile

[02:06] AlisonYoung: Might work better on the door.
[02:06] KSG: Smile

[02:06] TracyBunn: you want?
[02:06] AlisonYoung: no... that's okay...
[02:07] AlisonYoung: I'm feeling powerfull tonight.
[02:07] AlisonYoung: Smile

[02:07] AlisonYoung: Okay... is Jarod there?
[02:07] TracyBunn: yeah, why?
[02:07] AlisonYoung: Just incase I need codes for doors.
[02:07] TracyBunn: Well, I don't see why you would.
[02:07] TracyBunn: I didn't load any in.
[02:07] AlisonYoung: Oh.. okay then.
[02:08] AlisonYoung: okay... I'm inside.
[02:08] AlisonYoung: Stairs or elevator?
[02:08] step: what's faster?
[02:08] TracyBunn: Elevator, Alison.
[02:08] AlisonYoung: Okay..
[02:09] AlisonYoung: On my way...
[02:09] step: it's on the 17th floor, right?
[02:09] *** Kjartan has signed off IRC (Ping timeout: 181 seconds).
[02:09] TracyBunn: yep
[02:09] AlisonYoung: Hey Tracy.
[02:09] TracyBunn: yeah?

[02:10] AlisonYoung: You wanna what?
[02:10] AlisonYoung: Smile

[02:10] KSG: Smile

[02:11] AlisonYoung: okay... 17th floor...
[02:11] KSG: Yeah, get mIRC.
[02:11] JustLurking: be careful
[02:11] Kjartan: I've got it on my PC back in Delaware...
[02:11] AlisonYoung: giftstore, ladies underwear and mouse traps.
[02:11] step: stay away from the traps
[02:11] Kjartan: *chuckle*
[02:11] * JustLurking gets distracted by the ladies underwear section
[02:12] AlisonYoung: Okay... I'm here.
[02:12] AlisonYoung: No code on the door.
[02:12] * AlisonYoung breaths
[02:12] * step too
[02:12] AlisonYoung: One hard kick and.....

[02:12] AlisonYoung: Two hard kicks and....
[02:12] KSG: Haha
[02:12] AlisonYoung: Tracy?
[02:12] AlisonYoung: How about them boots now?
[02:12] step: tougher in real life than the movies Wink

[02:13] TracyBunn: On the way...
[02:13] AlisonYoung: Yellow?
[02:13] Kjartan: If that doesn't work, maybe she can find you a fireaxe
[02:13] Kjartan: LOL
[02:13] AlisonYoung: Okay... let's try this again.
[02:13] * AlisonYoung rubs her leg.
[02:13] KSG: One of those big ram things cops use on doors?
[02:13] AlisonYoung: 3rd times a charm and...
[02:14] Kjartan: my ninja alison image has been destroyed
[02:14] AlisonYoung: Bingo..
[02:14] AlisonYoung: I'm in.

[02:14] * Kjartan checks boxers...
[02:14] * AlisonYoung checks under computer.
[02:14] AlisonYoung: I don't see it here.
[02:15] TracyBunn: Are you sure?
[02:15] KSG: It has to be in there!
[02:15] Kjartan: gawddamnit
[02:15] step: look carefully, he may have hidden it
[02:15] AlisonYoung: Pretty darn positive.
[02:15] AlisonYoung: I am looking carefully.
[02:15] KSG: Can you load up Lyle's office?
[02:15] TracyBunn: I can try... but that will take some time.
[02:15] TracyBunn: I really only put in the supporting walls.
[02:16] AlisonYoung: I'm going to check his computer.
[02:16] AlisonYoung: Maybe he didn't listen to Harry.
[02:16] TracyBunn: Okay... I'll try loading Lyles' office while you do that.
[02:16] step: do you think he may have camouflaged it somehow?
[02:17] AlisonYoung: possibly.
[02:17] AlisonYoung: I'm looking at everything.
[02:17] Kjartan: take a step back... does anything look out of place?
[02:17] step: see if you see anything that looks odd
[02:17] AlisonYoung: I wouldn't know... I've never been in here.
[02:18] AlisonYoung: Oh... this is interesting.
[02:18] Kjartan: ?
[02:18] AlisonYoung: Hold on a second...
[02:18] AlisonYoung: I think...
[02:18] AlisonYoung: This looks like...
[02:18] * step crosses his fingers
[02:18] AlisonYoung: I think he put in on the site.
[02:19] JustLurking: he did?
[02:19] step: the AT website?
[02:19] KSG: *loads up site*
[02:19] AlisonYoung: XXXXXX.html
[02:19] AlisonYoung: That's all I'm seeing.
[02:19] step: 6 chracters long, right?
[02:19] AlisonYoung: yes
[02:20] JustLurking: hmmm
[02:20] JustLurking: well, that's not a valid page as is
[02:20] step: what are the names of the female patients ?
[02:20] AlisonYoung: Oh, God... let me see if he has that in here.
[02:20] AlisonYoung: give me a second.
[02:20] step: i'm hoping he used his wife's pseudonym
[02:21] AlisonYoung: No patient logs that I can see.
[02:21] * AlisonYoung wades through everything.
[02:21] step: Betty only has 5...
[02:22] Kjartan: why would he harve harry's wife's name in there?
[02:22] AlisonYoung: okay... I think I found something.
[02:22] step: she's a patient
[02:22] AlisonYoung: He wrote... "Look for the numbers".
[02:22] Kjartan: the only numbers I see are 404
[02:22] step: at least that's something
[02:23] AlisonYoung: Do you think that it's connected?
[02:23] AlisonYoung: That the file name is 6 numbers long? Not 6 letters long?
[02:23] AlisonYoung: Oh... another message.
[02:24] step: possibly
[02:24] step: oooh
[02:24] JustLurking: what is that?
[02:24] AlisonYoung: It looks like... "The password is on the numbers".
[02:24] AlisonYoung: on/in?
[02:24] AlisonYoung: can't really tell.
[02:25] KSG: How many digits are the numbers on the log files?
[02:25] AlisonYoung: I have 6 X's.
[02:25] KSG: Er, I mean the phone reccords.
[02:25] step: 5
[02:25] KSG: Oh, crap.
[02:25] step: at least on the latest - let me check
[02:26] step: i have them written down somewhere
[02:26] AlisonYoung: Poop... does this mean we are going to have to do this manually?
[02:26] step: yeah they all look to be 5 digits long
[02:27] JustLurking: what if we add them all up?
[02:27] KSG: You'll get about six digits.
[02:27] step: is anybody scouring the website?
[02:27] * KSG is *
[02:27] AlisonYoung: Ooo....
[02:27] AlisonYoung: The log just updated itself.
[02:27] KSG: o.O
[02:28] AlisonYoung: 7XXXXX.html
[02:28] AlisonYoung: Next update in...
[02:28] AlisonYoung: 24 hours.
[02:28] step: hmmm i was thing the countdown timer - but that reads 284690
[02:28] KSG: I'm sure we can work this out in less than THAT.
[02:28] AlisonYoung: 1 of 2 updates completed.
[02:29] AlisonYoung: Tracy?
[02:29] TracyBunn: yeah?
[02:29] AlisonYoung: You done with Lyles' office yet?
[02:29] TracyBunn: Nope... give me a few hours please.
[02:29] AlisonYoung: That long?
[02:29] KSG: Gah.
[02:29] TracyBunn: Yepper.

Alison dropped this hint:
<00:15:43> - <Alison[away]> swkqoc

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Which is rot-16 for images. http://avalontech.com/images/

Then the conversation started up again. Here's a heavilly edited log (still too long), because this was a two-hour conversation.

Quote:

<01:04:11> - <step> 3 odd, 3 even
<01:04:39> - <AlisonYoung> maybe that in of itself is a clue?
<01:05:15> - <step> yeah we found something earlier that suggest the pattern
<01:05:49> - <AlisonYoung> so maby the numbers that we are looking for are 3 odd numbers and 3 even numbers? with the first one being a 7?
<01:05:50> - <KSG> odd even odd even even odd
<01:06:00> - <KSG> That's what we believe we found.
<01:06:31> - <AlisonYoung> Well, that would fit with the thinking then.
<01:07:42> - <AlisonYoung> I don't know if this can be done by trying to solve puzzles and such.
<01:09:14> - <AlisonYoung> What I'm saying is why don't we split up a set of numbers amongst the rest of the team.
<01:09:42> - <step> brute force?
<01:09:59> - <AlisonYoung> Well, I don't see any other way right now.
<01:10:09> - <AlisonYoung> And time is running kinda slim.
<01:12:34> - <AlisonYoung> 40,000 numbers (well, less since we know that some are odd and some are even)... 3 people... thats...
<01:12:53> - <step> 5!, right?
<01:12:59> - <AlisonYoung> 13,333.333333333 numbers per person.
<01:16:00> - <AlisonYoung> Well... in 24 hours we should have a second number... that will definitely help.
<01:16:15> - <step> can we afford to wait that long?
<01:16:24> - <KSG> Not really.
<01:16:31> - <AlisonYoung> 40,000 compared to 4,000
<01:16:41> - <KSG> Alright, in that case it will help....
<01:16:54> - <step> i sure hope we find something in Lyle's office
<01:17:39> - <step> oO( 5^5 is 3125)
<01:17:55> - <AlisonYoung> so only 3,125 numbers?
<01:22:59> - <step> but a 1000 per person is still a tad too high :)
<01:28:09> - <step> do we have any clue how Richard picked passwords?
<01:29:10> - <KSG> Not unless Alison has something....
<01:29:34> - <step> random number generator probably :)
<01:29:48> - <AlisonYoung> I'm working on a number list right now.
<01:29:53> - <AlisonYoung> Just to confirm our findings.
<01:33:47> - <AlisonYoung> 3125
<01:33:52> - <AlisonYoung> confirmed
<01:34:20> - <AlisonYoung> 625 for combintions starting with 0
<01:34:27> - <AlisonYoung> *5
<01:35:28> - <AlisonYoung> 625 per person... is that reasonable?
<01:35:29> - <step> it's still a few too many :)
<01:35:35> - <AlisonYoung> okay..
<01:41:38> - <step> everyone was expecting this tomorrow so we are short-handed tonight
<01:42:06> - <AlisonYoung> Well, I figured the sooner the better. For Derks' sake.
<01:42:14> - <step> i concur
<01:42:17> - <Six> new thought, what was Richards birthday
<01:42:20> - <AlisonYoung> And the fact that Lyle was trying to get the code.
<01:42:31> - <Six> maybe he was stupid enough to use that as a password :P
<01:42:39> - <AlisonYoung> beats me.
<01:43:00> - <Six> well thats that idea out the window
<01:43:01> - <step> that wouldn't work anyways as it starts with 7
<01:43:13> - <Six> year first?
<01:43:18> - <step> 7000?
<01:43:28> - <Six> 761207?
<01:43:40> - <step> i'm half dead right now :)
<01:43:50> - <KSG> Backwards?
<01:43:59> - <step> after y2k i never use 2 digit years :)
<01:44:31> - <Six> twas a silly idea anyway
<01:45:19> - <step> i checked just in case - 404
<01:50:40> - <step> well, Tracy should be done shortly
<01:51:39> - <AlisonYoung> Well, I'm thinking "Puzzle" theory now...
<01:54:10> - * AlisonYoung waits for Tracy
<01:54:51> - * KSG has been thinking puzzle all along *
<01:55:01> - <AlisonYoung> :)
<01:55:13> - <KSG> I thought the brute forcing was just because we're not smart enough at this hour.
<01:56:16> - <step> the only 'weird' thing on the site is that the transcript in /canada has yellow text whereas all the others have white - i'm not sure how this helps
<01:59:43> - * AlisonYoung yells at Tracy to "Hurry Up!"
<02:01:36> - * TracyBunn (TracyBunnSPLAT3d344119.35556308.client.insightBB.com) has joined #avelon
<02:01:45> - <TracyBunn> Okay... I'm done.
<02:01:48> - <TracyBunn> Hello.
<02:02:26> - <TracyBunn> You ready, Alison?
<02:02:36> - <AlisonYoung> Yeah....
<02:02:50> - <TracyBunn> Okay... give us a couple of minutes to hook Alison up again.
<02:02:58> - <AlisonYoung> Yeah... can't wait.
<02:03:19> - * AlisonYoung (DerkSPLAT3d344119.35556308.client.insightBB.com) has left #avelon
<02:04:24> - * AlisonYoung (DerkSPLAT3d344119.35556308.client.insightBB.com) has joined #avelon
<02:04:32> - <AlisonYoung> Am I in?
<02:04:37> - <KSG> WB...can you see us?
<02:04:38> - <TracyBunn> You're here.
<02:04:44> - <AlisonYoung> no... sorry.
<02:04:50> - <AlisonYoung> But I can hear you.
<02:05:03> - <TracyBunn> You ready?
<02:05:11> - <AlisonYoung> Yeah... I suppose.
<02:05:33> - <TracyBunn> Exciting, I know.. but atleast we know you'll be back.
<02:05:38> - <AlisonYoung> :)
<02:05:56> - <KSG> Yeah, that's reassuring. :)
<02:05:57> - <TracyBunn> Okay... I'll try to get you closer... here we go.
<02:06:01> - <AlisonYoung> than...
<02:06:08> - <AlisonYoung> Oooo...
<02:06:13> - <AlisonYoung> Direct hit!
<02:06:17> - <TracyBunn> Nice.
<02:06:21> - * TracyBunn bows
<02:06:44> - <TracyBunn> I put his office on the 1st floor, so no elevator.
<02:06:49> - <AlisonYoung> Phew!
<02:06:51> - <AlisonYoung> Thanks.
<02:06:53> - <step> clever girl :)
<02:07:12> - <AlisonYoung> Okay... door.... and in.
<02:07:16> - <AlisonYoung> Where is it?
<02:07:29> - <TracyBunn> Okay... take 1st right.
<02:07:40> - <AlisonYoung> 1st right and...
<02:07:42> - <AlisonYoung> turn.
<02:07:46> - <AlisonYoung> now?
<02:07:53> - <TracyBunn> second door on left.
<02:08:03> - <AlisonYoung> Oooo... do I get to kick this one..
<02:08:09> - <AlisonYoung> Darn. It's open.
<02:08:12> - <TracyBunn> Sorry.
<02:08:13> - <step> aww
<02:08:17> - <TracyBunn> No ninja this time.
<02:08:23> - <AlisonYoung> You are nooo fun.
<02:08:26> - <Six> you could ninja roll in
<02:08:33> - <AlisonYoung> Oooo... good idea.
<02:08:37> - <step> lol
<02:08:50> - * AlisonYoung ninja rolls (walks) into the room
<02:09:08> - <AlisonYoung> okay.. where do I start looking?
<02:09:13> - <AlisonYoung> And what am I looking for?
<02:09:22> - <TracyBunn> Anything.
<02:09:25> - <step> everywhere and anything
<02:09:30> - <AlisonYoung> Filing cabinet?
<02:09:36> - <KSG> Sounds good.
<02:09:36> - <TracyBunn> Good start.
<02:09:40> - <AlisonYoung> okay...
<02:09:43> - <AlisonYoung> let's see...
<02:09:49> - <AlisonYoung> blah blah blah...
<02:10:04> - <AlisonYoung> Hmmm...
<02:10:06> - <AlisonYoung> how about...
<02:10:11> - <AlisonYoung> Employee Records?
<02:10:15> - <step> yes
<02:10:18> - <KSG> Sounds promising.
<02:10:20> - <Six> could be intersting
<02:10:30> - <AlisonYoung> okay... Employee Records it is.
<02:10:46> - <AlisonYoung> Hey, Tracy?
<02:10:49> - <TracyBunn> yeah?
<02:10:58> - <step> check your own file while you are in there
<02:10:59> - <AlisonYoung> You got a bad 6 month review.
<02:11:02> - <AlisonYoung> Just do you know.
<02:11:05> - <TracyBunn> hehe
<02:11:25> - <AlisonYoung> Ooo.. I didn't fair too much better.
<02:11:35> - <TracyBunn> We must hang out too much.
<02:11:39> - <TracyBunn> I'm rubbing off on you.
<02:11:42> - <AlisonYoung> Thanks.
<02:11:57> - <AlisonYoung> Oh.. Richards' file?
<02:12:05> - <KSG> Now we're getting somewhere.
<02:12:19> - * AlisonYoung picks up Richards' file and starts reading.
<02:12:25> - <AlisonYoung> Odd.
<02:12:34> - <AlisonYoung> Most of his file is blacked out.
<02:12:45> - <AlisonYoung> sorry.. no birthdate.
<02:12:55> - <KSG> Any other numbers?
<02:12:57> - <AlisonYoung> Hmm... let's see.
<02:12:59> - <step> what's not?
<02:13:13> - <AlisonYoung> No... no numbers.
<02:13:17> - <AlisonYoung> I'll keep looking though.
<02:13:45> - <AlisonYoung> Oh... I think I might have found something here.
<02:13:58> - <KSG> Yes?
<02:14:14> - <AlisonYoung> He was "written up" for using an unsecure code.
<02:14:21> - <step> oooh
<02:14:24> - <KSG> Awesome.
<02:14:44> - <AlisonYoung> Hmmm...
<02:15:05> - <AlisonYoung> It doesn't say what the code was or why it was unsecure though.
<02:15:11> - <AlisonYoung> Maybe personal?
<02:15:13> - <KSG> Aw....
<02:15:16> - <KSG> Probably.
<02:15:23> - <KSG> Which brings us back to finding dates.
<02:15:35> - <step> are there patient records in Lyle's office?
<02:15:45> - <AlisonYoung> Ummm... lemme check.
<02:16:00> - <AlisonYoung> A few... any in particular?
<02:16:07> - <step> not sure
<02:16:17> - <AlisonYoung> oh. Thought you had an idea.
<02:16:18> - <AlisonYoung> :)
<02:16:27> - <step> i keep going back to Harry's wife
<02:16:41> - <AlisonYoung> Where's Desoto?
<02:16:58> - <step> Il?
<02:17:00> - <KSG> (Desoto?)
<02:17:44> - <AlisonYoung> Illinois?
<02:17:46> - <AlisonYoung> No.
<02:18:12> - <AlisonYoung> It's mentioned as his place of birth.
<02:18:44> - <KSG> Google says Texas.
<02:18:48> - <KSG> Unless there's more than one.
<02:19:04> - <TracyBunn> That sounds right..
<02:19:28> - <TracyBunn> He did have a weird way of speaking.. he tried to hide it but it came out.
<02:19:56> - <AlisonYoung> Keep that in mind. Maybe it's important somehow.
<02:20:08> - <KSG> Six digits....
<02:20:20> - <AlisonYoung> looking for any digits I can find.
<02:20:30> - <AlisonYoung> Zip?
<02:20:58> - <AlisonYoung> oh.. Zip code is only 5 numbers though.
<02:21:28> - <step> 75115
<02:21:41> - <KSG> Five odds in a row. :(
<02:21:43> - <step> PO box only - 75123
<02:22:23> - * AlisonYoung is searching through filing cabinets
<02:22:40> - <KSG> Is there a computer in there?
<02:22:44> - <AlisonYoung> yes.
<02:22:47> - <AlisonYoung> That's next.
<02:22:49> - <KSG> K.
<02:22:54> - <AlisonYoung> I just don't want to miss something.
<02:23:01> - * KSG nods *
<02:24:34> - <AlisonYoung> Anything about Desoto fit with the numbers scheme that we are looking for?
<02:24:48> - <AlisonYoung> Just out of Curiosity.
<02:24:50> - <step> 6 letters
<02:25:10> - <AlisonYoung> well, D = 4 so that doesn't help.
<02:25:34> - <KSG> Could play with ASCII, base 64, etc....
<02:26:05> - <AlisonYoung> Nothing in the files that I can see.
<02:26:20> - <step> http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/handbook/online/articles/DD/hed1.html
<02:26:21> - <AlisonYoung> Onto the computer it is then.
<02:26:34> - <AlisonYoung> woah... slow down.
<02:26:37> - <AlisonYoung> What did you say?
<02:26:54> - <step> sorry, i forgot about the speachh stuff
<02:27:04> - <AlisonYoung> 'tis okay.
<02:27:27> - <AlisonYoung> Any ideas for a password to Lyle's computer?
<02:27:28> - <step> i have achat client that does TTS - does that to me all the time :)
<02:27:47> - <TracyBunn> A**hole?
<02:27:51> - <AlisonYoung> hehe
<02:27:57> - <AlisonYoung> Nope.. doesn't work.
<02:28:03> - <TracyBunn> Money?
<02:28:11> - <AlisonYoung> Nope.
<02:28:15> - <step> twelve miles south of Dallas on Interstate highways 35 and 20, U.S. Highway 67 the interstates?
<02:28:26> - <step> 3 odds 3 evens
<02:28:48> - <AlisonYoung> You could try the combinations with 7 being first.
<02:28:58> - <step> the first part was a quote - lost some chars there
<02:29:56> - <step> that gives us 120 possibilities
<02:29:57> - <AlisonYoung> Well, I'm not having any luck getting into Lyles' computer.
<02:30:17> - * AlisonYoung checks behing photos.
<02:30:21> - <AlisonYoung> behind*
<02:30:45> - <AlisonYoung> Nice paintings... a little abstract for my tastes though.
<02:31:56> - <AlisonYoung> Well, I'm not seeing anything else, guys.
<02:32:12> - <step> well 120 is a lot less 3000
<02:32:18> - <step> than
<02:32:54> - <TracyBunn> You going to disconnect for now, Alison?
<02:33:08> - <AlisonYoung> Yeah.. I'm really not seeing ANYTHING right now.
<02:33:22> - <TracyBunn> Okay...
<02:33:29> - <AlisonYoung> Ready?
<02:33:34> - <TracyBunn> Yep...
<02:33:46> - <AlisonYoung> Ummm...
<02:33:56> - <TracyBunn> You going to try?
<02:34:01> - <AlisonYoung> I am trying.
<02:34:20> - <TracyBunn> Well, you're not moving.
<02:34:23> - <TracyBunn> Consentrate.
<02:34:23> - <step> uh oh
<02:34:33> - <AlisonYoung> Okay... think "out of body".
<02:34:42> - <AlisonYoung> Now?
<02:34:46> - <TracyBunn> Nope..
<02:34:48> - <TracyBunn> nothing.
<02:34:54> - <AlisonYoung> crap.
<02:35:01> - <step> oh man!
<02:35:09> - <KSG> Great.
<02:35:23> - <AlisonYoung> Why does this poop always have to happen to ME?
<02:35:29> - <KSG> (How much do pianos cost these days?)
<02:35:31> - <step> i was afraid this would happen
<02:35:53> - <AlisonYoung> Well, I can always wake up Derk now. hehe
<02:35:58> - <step> i was surprised it worked the first time
<02:36:25> - <AlisonYoung> Maybe I'm just too tired to try right now.
<02:36:34> - <AlisonYoung> Loss of brain function.
<02:36:39> - <step> i hope that's all that it is
<02:36:54> - <AlisonYoung> It's hard to think let alone focus.
<02:37:15> - <step> oO( there is no spoon )
<02:37:17> - <TracyBunn> What was that?
<02:37:23> - <TracyBunn> Where were you just doing?
<02:37:28> - <AlisonYoung> Talking.
<02:37:39> - <TracyBunn> Well, say that again.
<02:37:43> - <AlisonYoung> What?
<02:37:49> - <TracyBunn> What you said earlier.
<02:37:58> - <AlisonYoung> Ummm... I can't remember what I said.
<02:38:13> - <TracyBunn> Ummm... it's hard to think let alone focus.
<02:38:27> - <AlisonYoung> it's hard to think let alone focus.
<02:38:42> - <TracyBunn> Hmmm... nothing.
<02:38:52> - <TracyBunn> Last time you said that your finger moved a little.
<02:39:10> - <AlisonYoung> Could be an electronic brain impulse.
<02:39:32> - <TracyBunn> well, why don't you sleep, Alison.
<02:39:39> - <TracyBunn> We'll try again when you wake up.
<02:39:48> - <AlisonYoung> Okay...
<02:39:54> - <AlisonYoung> Ummm.. Tracy?
<02:39:58> - <TracyBunn> Yeah?
<02:40:06> - <AlisonYoung> A bed please, if you don't mind.
<02:40:06> - <KSG> My brother suggests area codes.
<02:40:15> - <KSG> State, Desota. Six digits.
<02:40:18> - <TracyBunn> On it's way.
<02:40:44> - <AlisonYoung> What about state again?
<02:40:54> - <KSG> Er, Texas....
<02:41:08> - <KSG> Well look, a phone number is 1-(###)-###-####
<02:41:26> - <step> 214, 469, 972
<02:41:27> - <KSG> He thinks if we get the first six #s for Desoto....
<02:41:41> - <KSG> Crap, nothing starts with 7. :(
<02:42:55> - <AlisonYoung> well... 469 is EEO
<02:43:16> - <AlisonYoung> 972 is OOE so that doesn't fit in with what we are looking for.
<02:43:17> - <KSG> True....
<02:43:28> - <AlisonYoung> 214 is EOE... that fits too.
<02:43:56> - <KSG> 721469?
<02:43:58> - <KSG> *tries*
<02:44:19> - <KSG> :(
<02:44:20> - <KSG> Nada.
<02:44:51> - <step> those 3 are area codes for dallas county - i don't know what the city exchanges are
<02:45:16> - <KSG> None start with 7 anyway, so I think it's a dead end.
<02:45:28> - <AlisonYoung> So any of them come up as Desoto?
<02:45:32> - <AlisonYoung> Do*
<02:45:39> - <AlisonYoung> Or all of them?
<02:45:49> - <KSG> Google gave me 972 for DeSoto.
<02:46:17> - <AlisonYoung> great... the one that DOESN'T fit.
<02:46:29> - <KSG> Yeah.
<02:46:31> - <step> another site gives me: Area Codes: 972,469
<02:47:10> - <AlisonYoung> Well... I'm going to pass out if I stay up any longer.
<02:47:40> - <TracyBunn> I'm still here.
<02:48:20> - <AlisonYoung> Tracy.. I'm going to disconnect from the chat until the morning.
<02:48:33> - <TracyBunn> Okay... I'll leave it running for you.
<02:48:38> - <AlisonYoung> Okay.. thanks.
<02:48:48> - <AlisonYoung> See you all later.
<02:49:13> - * AlisonYoung (DerkSPLAT3d344119.35556308.client.insightBB.com) Quit (Quit: )
<02:49:40> - <TracyBunn> I think I can go another 12 minutes people.
<02:49:46> - <TracyBunn> I'll try to help where I can.
<02:51:23> - <step> what else besides Desoto do we know about Richard?
<02:51:40> - <TracyBunn> Not too much.
<02:51:52> - <TracyBunn> He's an MIT guy.
<02:52:27> - <TracyBunn> Lived through the 70's and partied a lot, from what I've heard.
<02:53:09> - <TracyBunn> Other then that he pretty much kept to himself.
<02:53:35> - <Six> what was it you were saying about his accent?
<02:54:01> - <TracyBunn> Thought he was from the south.. but couldn't pinpoint where.
<02:54:09> - <TracyBunn> He tried to hide it the best he could.
<02:54:21> - <TracyBunn> But things would slip out.. certain words.
<02:54:37> - <TracyBunn> The occasional "y'all".
<02:58:21> - <TracyBunn> The place where you guys go when you are not here?
<02:58:34> - <TracyBunn> You keep copies of the chat logs of this place there?
<02:58:48> - <KSG> Some of them....
<02:59:05> - <TracyBunn> Just thinking about how this one would look there. Kinda long.
<02:59:43> - <KSG> Yeah, I think we should start keeping trimmed versions of the logs there.
<03:00:49> - <TracyBunn> Well, the clock just struck 5...
<03:00:57> - <TracyBunn> so I'm gonna hit the road for now.
<03:01:29> - * TracyBunn is now known as Tracy[sleep]
<03:01:45> - <Tracy[sleep]> Beep me if you find something.
<03:01:54> - <Tracy[sleep]> I'll keep the program running.

odd, even, odd, even, even, odd

spec- he was caught using an unsecured pw before, maybe its a date of birth?

edit- tried a few hundred possible birthdays, heres the excel spreadsheet for what its worth, i couldnt find anything, but i may have missed out a few dates the urls are in column J i guess we are looking for a xxxx.html file?...

Tracy woke up and offered her opinion about the numbers. Alison then woke and so they attempted to get her out...

(Times are in EDT)

Quote:

[14:41] *** Tracy[sleep] is now known as TracyBunn.
[14:42] TracyBunn: Anybody home?
[14:46] TracyBunn: I'll take that as a no.
[14:46] *** TracyBunn is now known as Tracy[away].
[14:50] *** You are now known as step.
[14:50] step: awww, i just missed Tracy
[14:50] step: anybody here?
[14:55] *** Tracy[away] is now known as TracyBunn.
[14:55] TracyBunn: hello, step
[14:55] step: Hi Tracy
[14:55] step: i just woke up Smile

[14:55] TracyBunn: Same here.. Smile

[14:56] step: i just scrolled up ... doesn't look like they found anything while we were sleeping
[14:56] TracyBunn: I was doing the same thing... and no, it doesn't.
[14:57] TracyBunn: It looks like they are trying to grasp as straws... and I don't blame them at this point.
[14:57] step: looking at dates mostly
[14:58] TracyBunn: Yes... and we didn't find any dates last night or know when Richard was born, so I... I don't know..
[14:58] TracyBunn: I just hope that in 12 hours we will be able to knock this thing out.
[14:58] step: me too
[14:59] TracyBunn: It's all pretty much guessing at this point.
[15:00] TracyBunn: But I can't help but think that the answer is staring us in the face.
[15:00] TracyBunn: And we are just not seeing it.
[15:00] step: hmm...
[15:03] TracyBunn: I know that anything is possible at this point, but do you think that we are looking for a set of 5 numbers? or maby even 2 or 3 sets of numbers?
[15:04] step: interestin
[15:04] step: +g
[15:05] TracyBunn: I mean, right now everyone is looking for a set of 5 numbers that would fit.
[15:05] TracyBunn: Maybe that's the problem.
[15:05] step: i see what you mean
[15:07] TracyBunn: Alison mentioned something about "check the numbers" last night. Refering to something that Richard had left on his computer.
[15:07] step: let me check the IRC transcripts too- i recall Richard saying that before
[15:08] TracyBunn: Okay...
[15:14] step: ok, he said something similar. and at the time we were confused as to what he meant....
[15:14] step:
. RichardDunnam: You have caused enough problems.
. RichardDunnam: Like that little brat of a girl.
. RichardDunnam: We'll take care of the problems soon enough.
. RichardDunnam: The CHIP is the problem... not my program.
. RichardDunnam: My program is PERFECT!
. step: we have seen the transcripts
. KSG: "Turnover."
. RichardDunnam: Compare the numbers!
[15:15] step: i wasn't sure if the was just a comment or a response to mine or KSG's
[15:16] TracyBunn: Oh... I think he might have been referring to the costs associated with producing the "ARM".
[15:16] step: ok
[15:17] TracyBunn: As in, "The CHIP is cheaper to produce then it would be to try to replace me".
[15:17] TracyBunn: Something like that.
[15:17] step: makes sense
[15:19] * TracyBunn turns on some "Green Day".
[15:20] TracyBunn: The room looks kinda dead right now..
[15:20] TracyBunn: Usually a lot more people in here at this time of the day.
[15:20] TracyBunn: You think they have given up?
[15:20] step: yes, i was surprised
[15:20] step: nah - they never woul
[15:20] step: +d
[15:20] TracyBunn: oh, okay.
[15:20] step: i keep dropping letters Smile

[15:21] TracyBunn: hehe.
[15:21] TracyBunn: Give it time...
[15:21] TracyBunn: we both need to wake up before our spelling will be up to par.
[15:25] *** Alison[away] has joined #avelon.
[15:25] *** Alison[away] is now known as AlisonYoung.
[15:25] step: Hi Alison
[15:25] AlisonYoung: Hey, Tracy.. you up?
[15:25] AlisonYoung: Hello, step.
[15:25] TracyBunn: yeah.
[15:25] step: did you sleep well?
[15:25] AlisonYoung: Oh, good.
[15:25] AlisonYoung: Yeah.. thanks.
[15:26] AlisonYoung: I wanna try getting out of this darn thing now, if you don't mind.
[15:26] TracyBunn: Sure...
[15:26] step: i was just gonna suggest that
[15:26] TracyBunn: I'll let you know.
[15:26] AlisonYoung: Okay... here goes nothing...
[15:26] TracyBunn: Ooooo
[15:26] *** AlisonYoung has left #avelon.
[15:27] *** AlisonYoung has joined #avelon.
[15:27] TracyBunn: Welcome back.
[15:27] step: it worked!
[15:27] AlisonYoung: yeah.. thanks.
[15:27] step: phew
[15:27] AlisonYoung: Wait.. I just thought of something.
[15:27] TracyBunn: huh?
[15:27] AlisonYoung: Ummm... I still have to go back in.
[15:27] AlisonYoung: Later.
[15:27] AlisonYoung: To get the update.
[15:27] TracyBunn: Oh.. yeah.
[15:28] AlisonYoung: Damn... I should have just stayed in there.
[15:28] step: well it would have been a long wait
[15:28] *** Russell has joined #avelon.
[15:28] TracyBunn: Well, we'll wait until later to do that.
[15:28] AlisonYoung: agreed
[15:28] AlisonYoung: Hello, Russell
[15:29] AlisonYoung: So, what's new? We getting any closer?
[15:29] TracyBunn: brb
[15:29] step: unfortunately, no
[15:29] AlisonYoung: Hmmm. Okay.
[15:29] AlisonYoung: Any ideas?
[15:30] step: the mornig shift seems to have been working on the date angle - apparently, without success
[15:30] AlisonYoung: Oh.. brute forcing a date? I thought they said that was bad. Smile

[15:31] step: well there are lot less possibilites Smile

[15:31] AlisonYoung: oh... good idea then.
[15:31] AlisonYoung: but "without success" doesn't seem promising.
[15:32] TracyBunn: Hey guys?
[15:32] AlisonYoung: yeah?
[15:32] step: yes?
[15:32] TracyBunn: I'm going to go shopping.
[15:32] TracyBunn: We need supplies.
[15:32] AlisonYoung: Okay.
[15:32] AlisonYoung: Don't forget the diguise.
[15:32] TracyBunn: The Disguise.
[15:32] step: Mountain Dew & twinkies
[15:32] TracyBunn: Yes, I know. I don't like the way it makes me look though.
[15:32] TracyBunn: step: check
[15:33] TracyBunn: Smile

[15:33] TracyBunn: I'll log back in here tonight for the update.
[15:33] TracyBunn: I'll talk to you all later.
[15:33] step: what
[15:33] step: oops
[15:33] step: what's the disguise for? are you going back to AT?
[15:33] TracyBunn: No.. it's in case I happen to run into someone who works there.
[15:34] step: ah ok
[15:34] TracyBunn: be back later.
[15:34] step: see ya Tracy
[15:34] *** TracyBunn has signed off IRC (Quit: ).
[15:35] AlisonYoung: So...
[15:35] AlisonYoung: Smile

[15:35] AlisonYoung: It's nice to be back in the real world, I must say.
[15:36] step: i was so afraid that you might get stuck in there
[15:36] AlisonYoung: Join the club... and now I have to go back?
[15:38] AlisonYoung: One thing that I learned from this experience is to sleep before going into the "ARM".
[15:38] AlisonYoung: Which I plan on doing for tonight.
[15:38] step: Smile

[15:38] Russell: sorry was away for a bit
[15:38] Russell: hi guys
[15:38] AlisonYoung: That way my brain won't be too tired work.

Alison and Russell chatted for a bit. And then Alison decides to go....

Quote:

[15:53] AlisonYoung: Well, I'm gonna go. I'm completely out of ideas for the moment, so I am of no use to anyone at this point in time.
[15:53] step: ok, see you later
[15:53] Russell: ok cu later
[15:53] AlisonYoung: I'll be back tonight for my next jump into the alterantive reality.
[15:53] Russell: what time?
[15:53] AlisonYoung: Well, the update is in less then 11 hours.
[15:54] Russell: will not see you so good luck!
[15:54] AlisonYoung: So, probably around 1:30 AM CST
[15:54] AlisonYoung: Yeah, that's what I thought... thanks... and cross your fingers.
[15:54] AlisonYoung: TTYL!

for consistency heres a short convo with alison

Quote:

* AlisonYoung has joined #avelon
<delusional696> hi alison
<AlisonYoung> hello, delusional
<delusional696> how long you been here
<step> Hello
<AlisonYoung> a few minutes is all
<AlisonYoung> hello, step
<AlisonYoung> any breakthroughs?
<step> didn't expect you for a while
<delusional696> not really
<step> nah - i'm out of ideas
<AlisonYoung> well... hopefully tonight will bring something that we can use.
<step> i hope so
<delusional696> so your going back in
<step> it's gonna be one of those things that you kick yourself for not seeing earlier
<AlisonYoung> yes.. later.
<AlisonYoung> well, hopefully it won't get to that point, step.
<AlisonYoung> We need to get this.
<step> yeah - running out of time fast
<AlisonYoung> 3 days and 20 minutes
<delusional696> i thought i might have found the first three digets. but that didn't work
<AlisonYoung> oh.. how?
<delusional696> July 23rd, 2000 the dATE THE "arm" WAS "born"
<delusional696> 723
<AlisonYoung> Well, Tracy was explaining to me that we might not be looking for just one whole set of 6 or 7 numbers.
<step> yeah, i've been trying to think of possible groups of numbers 6 digits in length - but i think i'm looking too hard
<AlisonYoung> That we might be stuck because we are actually looking for 2 or
maby 3 sets of numbers.
<AlisonYoung> maybe*
<step> the obvous things are dates, times, and colors
<delusional696> hey we tried the 125 combinations with 723 but nothing
<AlisonYoung> Anything using the numbers that we have found?
<step> what have we found?
<delusional696> i'm not sure what nubers to use.
<AlisonYoung> Desoto area codes... 214, 469 and 972
<step> what were those interstates...i forgot already Smile

<AlisonYoung> I didn't write those down.
<step> 20,35, 45... no good
<AlisonYoung> We threw 972 out because it doesn't fit what we need. It's OOE.
<step> though... us 77 goes right through Desoto
<AlisonYoung> well, there is no OO in what we need.
<step> right
<step> i think the next digit might help to focus our ideas
<AlisonYoung> I hope it will.
<delusional696> you metioned some paintings in the office last night alison, anything stand out about them?
<AlisonYoung> Lyles' Office? Nothing really stands out.. they were abstract.
<delusional696> ok just checking
<AlisonYoung> Besides, I don't know why Richard would use anything in Lyles' office for a password.
<AlisonYoung> But he might.
<step> too bad we can't acccess his computer
<AlisonYoung> Yeah, I wish I could figure out a password for the stupid thing.
<delusional696> there is an artist desoto, thats why i asked
<AlisonYoung> oh... interesting.
<AlisonYoung> Does he do abtract paintings?
<AlisonYoung> or she?
<step> long shot - but if he erased everything related to the password - then it might be possible to look and see if there are any obvious omissions
it might be possible to look and see if there are any obvious omissions
<AlisonYoung> abstract*
<delusional696> he does some diffrent types of instelations. i'm not sure about paintings
<AlisonYoung> Could be... I could check tonight... remind me though.
<AlisonYoung> If you're around.
<step> do we know Richard's middle name?
* Ky|collapsed is now known as Kythen
<AlisonYoung> It wasn't in the file that was in Lyles' office.
<AlisonYoung> And I don't know of any.
<step> ok. thanks
<AlisonYoung> Hello, Kythen.
<Kythen> hi alison
<delusional696> can you tell us anything personal about richerd,alison?
<AlisonYoung> personal... hmmmmm....
<delusional696> it might help to find the code.
<AlisonYoung> Nothing comes to mind at the moment.
<delusional696> ok, well if you think of anything....
<AlisonYoung> Yeah, don't worry, I'll let you guys no.
<AlisonYoung> know*
<AlisonYoung> Well, hey, I'm going to take a nap before I have to go in again later.
<AlisonYoung> I'll catch you guys later.
<step> rest well
<delusional696> bye
<AlisonYoung> Will do.
<AlisonYoung> c-ya.

<23:31:05> - <TracyBunn> Take the roof door.
<23:31:20> - <AlisonYoung> Oh... okay... the easy root.
<23:31:25> - <ProfMoriarty> too bad Alison isn't the "one"
<23:31:31> - <ProfMoriarty> Haha.. did anyone get a joke from what she just said?
<23:31:38> - <TracyBunn> Yeah... no elevator or stairs this time.

<23:45:36> - <step> thanks! did that just happen?
<23:45:39> - <JustLurking> nod
<23:45:46> - <ProfMoriarty> oh man
<23:45:48> - <ProfMoriarty> and on a work night
<23:45:58> - <KSG> We've got like six though.
<23:46:10> - <Six> im here too now :)
<23:46:19> - <KSG> It's just that with the first digit being one of four numbers, they're simpler to dole out....
<23:46:32> - <KSG> Actually, let's work from the 2nd-to-last digit.
<23:46:53> - <KSG> Someone can do 7 (4,6,8,0) (1,5,7,9) E 2 7.
<23:46:55> - <JustLurking> alright....so who's here to brute force
<23:46:59> - <KSG> Someone can do 7 (4,6,8,0) (1,5,7,9) E 3 7.
<23:47:01> - <ProfMoriarty> I'll take "2"
<23:47:03> - <KSG> Er, 4.
<23:47:03> - <step> you should be trying to grasp the pattern not brute forcing it
<23:47:04> - <ProfMoriarty> =)
<23:47:10> - <ProfMoriarty> Is there a patterN?
<23:47:14> - <step> yes
<23:47:16> - <KSG> We tried that last night.
<23:47:25> - <JustLurking> there is
<23:47:27> - <JustLurking> but we're not sure what
<23:47:36> - <step> 1 digit 3 digits 2 digits
<23:47:46> - <KSG> Er....
<23:47:52> - <KSG> Why the split?
<23:48:03> - <step> there was an update
<23:48:07> - <step> ;)
<23:48:15> - * KSG opens /images/ *
<23:48:33> - <ProfMoriarty> I'm confused
<23:48:38> - <ProfMoriarty> are we brute-forcing this or not?
<23:48:47> - <KSG> ...I guess not yet.
<23:48:53> - <TracyBunn> I'm with no.
<23:49:20> - <ProfMoriarty> eh? who made this updated image?
<23:49:42> - <TracyBunn> I would assume the same person who made the first one.
<23:52:53> - <Six> im guessing the 3 digit is 214
<23:52:59> - <Six> area code for desoto
<23:53:39> - <ProfMoriarty> so.. 7 214 E7?

<23:57:25> - <AlisonYoung> Keep the ideas coming... Tracy will type them in.
<23:57:30> - <ProfMoriarty> the clouds just remind me that dunnam is dead
<23:57:43> - <ProfMoriarty> it looks like stereotypical heavan
<23:57:46> - <ProfMoriarty> *heaven

<23:58:19> - <JustLurking> love
<23:58:24> - <JustLurking> (possibly keys)

<23:58:37> - <ProfMoriarty> 33? (only some people will get it)
<23:58:51> - <TracyBunn> nothing
<00:00:21> - <ProfMoriarty> Richard was obsessed with helping others. Could that be it?
<00:00:22> - <KSG> The clouds, Leviticus, the deep question, and the deadness of Richard are sort of making me think of answers like "God" and "Heaven," too.
<00:00:26> - <JustLurking> charity
<00:00:27> - <step> the question is faulty
<00:00:38> - <AlisonYoung> Richard...
<00:00:40> - <Kythen> truth?
<00:00:41> - <AlisonYoung> it was him...
<00:00:51> - <ProfMoriarty> Sorry?
<00:00:52> - <KSG> It was him?
<00:00:53> - <AlisonYoung> Damn... what did he tell me?
<00:01:05> - <AlisonYoung> He was the one who told me what the meaning of life was.
<00:01:12> - <AlisonYoung> I couldn't think of who it was at the time.
<00:01:19> - <Kythen> jesus?
<00:01:20> - <step> oO( make babies )
<00:01:35> - <AlisonYoung> step: was it you I told it too?
<00:01:43> - <step> i don't recall
<00:01:52> - <Six> hmmm, I can sort of remember that
<00:02:09> - <TracyBunn> You guys said that you keep some of the logs of this room somewhere.
<00:02:19> - <KSG> I just checked my logs and got nothing.
<00:02:24> - <KSG> I'll check our collective logs next.
<00:02:35> - * step is searching

<00:02:59> - <TracyBunn> Ummm. huh?
<00:03:07> - <JustLurking> !
<00:03:09> - <JustLurking> to learn
<00:03:19> - <TracyBunn> to learn....
<00:03:24> - <TracyBunn> Processing
<00:03:28> - <step> <AlisonYoung> Someone said that the answer the question "What is the meaning of life" is "To learn". It's the only thing that we do from birth to death.
<00:03:31> - <TracyBunn> BINGO!!!
<00:03:34> - <ProfMoriarty> w00t

<00:04:16> - <Six> ??
<00:04:19> - <TracyBunn> Gotta put this in Derk.
<00:04:25> - <ProfMoriarty> =) so close
<00:04:28> - * KSG crosses fingers *
<00:04:31> - <ProfMoriarty> I feel kinda sick =P

<00:07:20> - <JustLurking> well, he hasn't used his eyes in a while...
<00:07:20> - <AlisonYoung> But he's looking right at me.
<00:07:22> - <ProfMoriarty> Tell him we welcome him to our world ;)
<00:07:23> - <step> the poor man needs a sec :)
<00:07:26> - <KSG> Still...that seems like a very good sign to me.
<00:07:28> - * TracyBunn I'm going to cry

<00:08:05> - <AlisonYoung> Yes.. thank you.
<00:08:10> - <Kythen> that's what friends are for :)
<00:08:25> - <AlisonYoung> I think Derk is going to need a little time before he can do anything.
<00:08:29> - <JustLurking> of course
<00:08:33> - <ProfMoriarty> will we get to talk to him later?
<00:08:33> - <KSG> I would imagine so.
<00:08:44> - <AlisonYoung> Yes... ofcourse.
<00:08:55> - <AlisonYoung> I will schedual a time... two times.
<00:08:56> - * ProfMoriarty realizes he never met Derk
<00:09:01> - <Kythen> do you think he still has a lot of the ARM memory?
<00:09:15> - <TracyBunn> No... we took care of that before hand.
<00:09:26> - <KSG> You should make a point to be here then, Prof. Derk's a fun guy.
<00:09:32> - <KSG> Oh, will he even remember us?
<00:09:33> - <TracyBunn> We'll explain what we can to him about you guys.
<00:09:37> - <KSG> I see.
<00:10:01> - <AlisonYoung> He nodding his head yes.. well, the little that he can right now.

<00:10:54> - <AlisonYoung> But I'm going to need all of the evidence that you guys have on Lyle and AvelonTech.
<00:11:14> - <ProfMoriarty> like.. a bunch of fishy transcripts?
<00:11:14> - <JustLurking> we have the chat logs, Alison
<00:11:18> - <ProfMoriarty> That's what we have
<00:11:23> - <KSG> We'll give you what we have.
<00:11:32> - <AlisonYoung> Fishy is good... The cops can do the rest.
<00:11:33> - <JustLurking> chats between Lyle and Harry
<00:11:35> - <Kythen> i'd get in contact with Harry if you can
<00:11:38> - <Kythen> he may be able to provide more
<00:11:41> - <AlisonYoung> Will do.
<00:11:56> - <Kythen> we can't get ahold of him at all ourselves, or we would have tried sooner
<00:12:00> - <ProfMoriarty> what about "Betty"?
<00:12:35> - <AlisonYoung> I'm going to do what I can about getting the rest of the patients out.
<00:12:40> - <AlisonYoung> Out of the "ARM".
<00:12:46> - <AlisonYoung> I'll use Emily for that.
<00:15:34> - <AlisonYoung> Well, we're gonna go for now...
<00:15:41> - <AlisonYoung> Thank you all...
<00:15:45> - <ProfMoriarty> Goodnight, Alison. Congratulations.

<01:55:09> - <KSG> Instincts are there for a reason...what kind of feeling?
<01:55:42> - <AlisonYoung> It's kinda hard to explain.
<01:56:24> - <KSG> The best you can do is try.
<01:56:25> - <AlisonYoung> It's like... I don't know... like I still have a long road ahead of me.
<01:56:41> - <AlisonYoung> Like there's something else that I need to do in my life.
<01:56:42> - <AlisonYoung> You know?
<01:57:00> - <KSG> Yeah, kinda.
<01:57:02> - <AlisonYoung> I mean.. I have Derk now.
<01:57:26> - <AlisonYoung> So I know that I'll be spending a lot of time with him.
<01:57:41> - <KSG> Of course.
<01:58:10> - <AlisonYoung> It's like this isn't over for me yet.
<01:58:43> - <KSG> Well, it isn't...you've got Derk to care for, Lyle to convict, ARMs to remove.
<01:58:53> - <KSG> Or do you think there's something else?
<01:59:05> - <AlisonYoung> True.. I sent Emily the password.
<01:59:15> - <AlisonYoung> I'm going to take care of Derk.
<01:59:27> - <AlisonYoung> Convicting Lyle is definitely on the "to do" list.
<02:00:01> - <KSG> *nods* Though in prison, it will be harder to drop a piano on him.
<02:00:09> - <KSG> I was really looking forward to that. :)
<02:00:09> - <AlisonYoung> :)
<02:00:28> - <AlisonYoung> I just can't help but wonder what the "ARM" could have been.
<02:00:47> - <KSG> No kidding.
<02:01:04> - <AlisonYoung> I just don't know if this is helping people or hurting them.
<02:01:21> - <AlisonYoung> I think that's what I'm missing.
<02:01:42> - <KSG> You want to see the thing back in development?
<02:01:54> - <AlisonYoung> Not the way that it is ofcourse.
<02:01:59> - <AlisonYoung> But maybe...
<02:02:05> - <AlisonYoung> I don't know.
<02:02:06> - <KSG> Of course, but with a better chip....
<02:02:12> - <AlisonYoung> It's quite a task.
<02:02:17> - <KSG> Sounds like you have lots of thinking to do.
<02:02:22> - <KSG> Yeah.
<02:02:23> - <AlisonYoung> Yes... yes I do.
<02:03:06> - <KSG> What's going to happen to Harry?
<02:03:08> - <AlisonYoung> Derk will be so happy to actually speak to you as he really is.
<02:03:09> - <AlisonYoung> Harry?
<02:03:24> - <AlisonYoung> I guess it all depends on what he says to the police.
<02:03:30> - <AlisonYoung> How much he cooperates.
<02:03:38> - <KSG> I see.
<02:03:49> - <KSG> We can't wait to talk to Derk, either.
<02:04:25> - <AlisonYoung> Well, that's good news. We both wanted to make sure that as many people as possible could talk to him.
<02:04:54> - <AlisonYoung> We understand that there are people in the UK that have helped us.
<02:04:58> - <KSG> I think you'll get a good crowd. I think Kythen's even going to work early in hopes of getting off in time.
<02:07:51> - <KSG> Will you be here when Derk is?
<02:07:52> - <AlisonYoung> Well, I better get a nap in before I re-introduce Derk to everyone.
<02:07:59> - <KSG> I'll take that as a yes.
<02:08:00> - <AlisonYoung> Yeah.
<02:08:03> - <AlisonYoung> I will be.
<02:08:33> - <KSG> G'night Alison.
<02:08:39> - <AlisonYoung> Goodnight.

[09:40] <JoeOE18> hows Derk?
[09:40] <AlisonYoung> Derk is doing better then expected
[09:41] <JoeOE18> oooh statements, does htat mean you think you've got enough to
get lyle?
[09:41] <JoeOE18> that*
[09:41] <JustLurking> did you get in touch with Harry?
[09:41] <AlisonYoung> Just: Yes.
[09:41] <wisdomwarrior> is Harry going down too?
[09:41] <AlisonYoung> Joe: Yes.. Lyle's already been arrested.
[09:41] <JoeOE18> hooray!
[09:41] <AlisonYoung> And is down at the station as we speak

[09:41] <JustLurking> yay

[09:41] <AlisonYoung> wisdom: So far it looks that way.
[09:41] <wisdomwarrior> good
[09:42] <Nady> lol
[09:42] <wisdomwarrior> hes worse than Lyle in my opinion
[09:42] <AlisonYoung> awwwww
[09:42] <AlisonYoung> There is a part of me that feels for Harry, but I see your
point.
[09:42] <JoeOE18> i guess thats why the avelontech site is gone Smile

[09:43] <AlisonYoung> Joe: yes/
[09:43] <step> that's just cause he hates you for killing Richard Wink

[09:43] <AlisonYoung> Yes*
[09:43] <JoeOE18> whats going to happen to the ARM's?
[09:43] <AlisonYoung> Emily has them off of the patients now. We don't know what
will happen to them.
[09:43] <wisdomwarrior> probably going into custody where they will mysterious
turn up missing lol
[09:43] <AlisonYoung> Maybe there is a company out there that will be able to
use them for goood.
[09:44] <JoeOE18> that.....or gaming Razz

[09:44] <wisdomwarrior> its probably best that they are destroyed, but they have
so much potential that i dont see that happening
[09:44] <AlisonYoung> wisdom: I agree
[09:45] <AlisonYoung> There will always be someone who uses the good for evil
[09:45] <JoeOE18> *cough*Lyle*cough*
[09:45] <AlisonYoung> Smile

[09:46] <wisdomwarrior> and wherever there are people who use the good for
evil........ there will always be Team Tollin to thwart those plans Smile

[09:46] * JoeOE18 goes to look for a cape
[09:46] <AlisonYoung> Well, with 17+ counts of murder against him, I don't think
he'll be hurting anyone anytime soon.
[09:46] <JoeOE18> good good
[09:46] * wisdomwarrior looks for his power ring
[09:46] <Nady> so Alison is it ok to ask what did u tell Derk about Team Tollin
[09:46] <Nady> everything ...or just fill him in ?
[09:46] <AlisonYoung> Nady: I really didn't have to say much. He remembers bits
and pieces
[09:47] <JoeOE18> ah, its nice to know he remembers stuff
[09:47] <AlisonYoung> I don't think he'll remember who did what, but he'll
recognise names and such.
[09:48] <JoeOE18> cool Smile

[09:48] <wisdomwarrior> Papa John's Smile

[09:48] <AlisonYoung> Is Justin here?
[09:48] <AlisonYoung> wisdom: That was the first thing he asked for this morning.

[10:02] <AvelonPM> Hello to all..
[10:02] <step> Hi
[10:02] <JustLurking> we'll go ahead and moderate this, ok?
[10:02] <KSG> Heyas.
[10:02] <JoeOE18> Hello mr/mrs avelon PM
[10:02] <JustLurking> what that means, is that you won't be able to chat unless
you have voice
[10:02] <wisdomwarrior> hello AvelonPM
[10:02] <KSG> Eh, if you're setting +m, I might as well run upstairs and grab my
ramen. BRB.
[10:02] <AvelonPM> Hello, wisdom.
[10:02] <JustLurking> (makes it easier for the PM to explain everything)
[10:02] <JoeOE18> well now i need to go to dinner Sad

[10:03] <JoeOE18> are you coming back in 5 hours?
[10:03] <wisdomwarrior> so we have to have voice?
[10:03] <AvelonPM> Yes
[10:03] <JoeOE18> ok, i'll be here....
[10:03] <JustLurking> join #avelonchat
[10:03] <JoeOE18> or there :p
[10:03] <JustLurking> and we can all talk in there without having to worry about
the moderation in here
[10:03] * JustLurking sets mode: +m
[10:03] <JustLurking> Sorry all Smile

[10:03] <JustLurking> Go ahead, ex-Derk
[10:04] <AvelonPM> in here?
[10:04] <AvelonPM> or there?
[10:04] <AvelonPM> You have confused me.. hehe
[10:04] <JustLurking> hehe
[10:04] <JustLurking> in here
[10:04] <AvelonPM> oh.. okay...
[10:04] <JustLurking> but if they want to chat about what you're saying, they
can do it in there
[10:04] <AvelonPM> Well, first off, thank you all for playing.
[10:04] <AvelonPM> Being my first ARG I really didn't know how it was all going
to go. I was nervous.
[10:05] <AvelonPM> My chat name in IRC is CrustyBottom
[10:05] <AvelonPM> Some of you may know me from that name.
[10:05] <AvelonPM> In UF I'm ItWasntMeISwear
[10:05] <AvelonPM> And at IU I'm DustinHowell2005
[10:05] <JustLurking> well...we kinda dropped off on IU Smile

[10:05] <AvelonPM> I did all of the characters myself... expect for one.
[10:06] <AvelonPM> Jot helped me with Jarod
[10:06] <AvelonPM> He's not here, but he deserves that credit.
[10:06] <AvelonPM> So, I guess thats it... ?'s
[10:06] <JustLurking> lol
[10:06] <JustLurking> ok, question time
[10:06] <AvelonPM> I don't know what to say... sorry.
[10:06] <JustLurking> pm me, and I'll voice you in the order you message me (or
so)
[10:07] <JustLurking> I'll ask the first question (since I can)
[10:07] <AvelonPM> okay
[10:07] <JustLurking> how did you come up with the storyline for the game?
[10:07] <AvelonPM> Oh...hehe
[10:07] <AvelonPM> It came to me at like 2am in the morning while playing
Rookery Tower
[10:08] <AvelonPM> I have thought of starting ARGs' before, but this one kind of
stood out from the rest
[10:09] <JustLurking> cool
[10:09] * JustLurking sets mode: +v Nady
[10:09] <JustLurking> question from Nady
[10:09] <Nady> ok Mr.Avelon PM ..how old are u ?
[10:10] <AvelonPM> Mr... 28
[10:10] <JustLurking> follow-up?
[10:10] <Nady> thanks
[10:10] <AvelonPM> And I live in Bloomington, Illinois
[10:10] <AvelonPM> Just to throw that in there.
[10:10] * JustLurking sets mode: -v Nady
[10:10] <JustLurking> Next up is KSG
[10:10] * JustLurking sets mode: +v KSG
[10:11] <KSG> I'm still curious about Alison's Richard sighting. Was that a
ghost? Is he really alive? Was she imagining it?
[10:11] <AvelonPM> He was a ghost.. he wasn't supposed to die. But I thought,
well, the mind games that were played on him would add an interesting twist.
[10:11] <KSG> Wait, so wisdom really DID kill him?
[10:11] <AvelonPM> hehe.. yeah.
[10:12] <KSG> Nice.
[10:12] <JustLurking> lol
[10:12] <AvelonPM> I wanted this to be as much Player involved as I could.
[10:12] <JustLurking> follow-up?
[10:12] <KSG> Alright JL, I'm done.
[10:12] * JustLurking sets mode: -v KSG
[10:12] <JustLurking> Alright, I've got another one
[10:12] <AvelonPM> hit it.
[10:12] <JustLurking> the six-digit password....
[10:12] <JustLurking> Smile

[10:12] <AvelonPM> ah.. yes.
[10:13] <JustLurking> we all need an explanation on that one
[10:13] <AvelonPM> The first number was a "gimme".
[10:13] <AvelonPM> The "87" was the first two numbers of all the trans.
[10:13] <AvelonPM> The middle ofcourse was given by the Area code of Desoto.
[10:13] <JustLurking> ohh
[10:14] <AvelonPM> The yellow on /canada
[10:14] <JustLurking> To ask a question, PM me and I'll give you guys voice
[10:14] <AvelonPM> which all picked up on, I believe.
[10:14] <AvelonPM> Was intentional.
[10:14] <JustLurking> and what was the meaning?
[10:15] <AvelonPM> no meaning behind the numbers. I wanted a puzzle that would
take awhile to complete.
[10:15] <JustLurking> I mean, the meaning of the yellow text
[10:15] <AvelonPM> Oh.. Smile

[10:15] <AvelonPM> It was meant to show "Hey! Look at me!"...
[10:16] <AvelonPM> The numbers were 87278
[10:16] <AvelonPM> 2 representing the fact that both 8 and 7 are mentioned twice.
[10:16] <JustLurking> Alright....the murderer, WW, is up next
[10:16] <JustLurking> Smile

[10:16] <AvelonPM> Smile

[10:16] * JustLurking sets mode: +v wisdomwarrior
[10:16] <wisdomwarrior> ok
[10:16] <wisdomwarrior> nice to finally meet you first of all
[10:17] <AvelonPM> thanks.. you too.
[10:17] <wisdomwarrior> i was wondering how much of the ARG was scripted
[10:17] <wisdomwarrior> you said that Richards death wasnt planned
[10:17] <AvelonPM> There was a lot that was scripted. But a lot of it changed.
[10:18] <AvelonPM> Like I said, I wanted it to be player involved (where the
players decided what would happen)
[10:18] <AvelonPM> You presented a good example for this to occur.
[10:18] <wisdomwarrior> im glad i could help
[10:18] <AvelonPM> Smile

[10:18] <wisdomwarrior> can i ask a follow up?
[10:18] <AvelonPM> Sure
[10:18] <JustLurking> follow up?
[10:18] <JustLurking> go ahead
[10:18] <wisdomwarrior> in your mind, how pissed was Harry at me for Richard's
Death
[10:19] <AvelonPM> pissed.... Smile

[10:19] <JustLurking> lol
[10:19] <wisdomwarrior> right on, im glad i could be singled out for that, made
me feel special in a sick way LOL
[10:19] <AvelonPM> hehe
[10:19] <wisdomwarrior> thank you for your time
[10:19] <AvelonPM> You were a tough player to talk to in chat.
[10:20] * JustLurking sets mode: -v wisdomwarrior
[10:20] <JustLurking> anyone else?
[10:20] <JustLurking> were there any things that you had that you didn't use in
the course of the game?
[10:20] <AvelonPM> Yes... a few
[10:21] <JustLurking> you don't have to say what, since I'm sure you might be
able to use them in future games Smile

[10:21] <AvelonPM> Phone calls (the purpose for asking where people lived via
the AvelonTech site), and face to face.
[10:21] <AvelonPM> I wanted the Representative to meet with someone.
[10:21] <AvelonPM> But that didn't pan out.
[10:22] <AvelonPM> I got close.
[10:22] <JustLurking> yeah
[10:22] <JustLurking> ok, KSG is back with another question
[10:22] <AvelonPM> okay.
[10:22] * JustLurking sets mode: +v KSG
[10:22] <KSG> You said wisdom was "tough" to talk to in chat, which makes me
wonder, were there any times that you were really afraid we'd accidentally
draw you out from behind the PM curtain?
[10:23] <AvelonPM> There were a lot of "trick" questions.. ones that I hadn't
thought of..
[10:23] <AvelonPM> for instance, where Alison went to college.
[10:23] <KSG> Wild spec has that effect....
[10:23] <AvelonPM> That was a rough one since I knew that she has went, but then
the numbers didn't add up.
[10:23] <KSG> Is that why she dropped out?
[10:23] <AvelonPM> she was 24 and supposed to have graduated?
[10:24] <AvelonPM> And then went to AvelonTech to work there for 5 years?
[10:24] <AvelonPM> that means she would have had to been 19 when she gradutated
from a 4 year college.
[10:24] <AvelonPM> Didn't add up.
[10:24] <JustLurking> she could have been a genius Smile

[10:24] <AvelonPM> Too many questions to have answers too for that. Smile

[10:24] <JustLurking> any follow-up KSG?
[10:25] <KSG> Nope.
[10:25] * JustLurking sets mode: -v KSG
[10:25] <JustLurking> wisdomwarrior is back
[10:25] <AvelonPM> okay dokey
[10:25] * JustLurking sets mode: +v wisdomwarrior
[10:25] <wisdomwarrior> im back
[10:25] <AvelonPM> yeah!
[10:25] <wisdomwarrior> KSG kinda asked my question lol
[10:26] <wisdomwarrior> but i was wondering...
[10:26] <wisdomwarrior> were you reading the forum?
[10:26] <AvelonPM> ofcourse.
[10:26] <AvelonPM> Smile

[10:26] <wisdomwarrior> ok, and what knowledge did you have outside of you or
your characters being in the room
[10:26] <AvelonPM> other then the forums? none.
[10:27] <JustLurking> so, no spies in channel to see what we talk about when the
characters aren't here? Smile

[10:27] <wisdomwarrior> thats what i meant
[10:27] <AvelonPM> nope.
[10:27] <wisdomwarrior> so we challenged you... and if so, was it more than you
anticipated?
[10:28] <AvelonPM> Yes, but I enjoyed it... it kept me on my toes for a lot of
the time. I had to remember everything I ever said for every character and who
said what to whom.
[10:28] <AvelonPM> It was quite fun.
[10:29] * JustLurking sets mode: -v wisdomwarrior
[10:29] <JustLurking> thanks ww
[10:29] <JustLurking> any other questions?
[10:29] <AvelonPM> Ummm...
[10:29] <AvelonPM> The start.
[10:29] <AvelonPM> The DJ was a friend of mine.. just in case you didn't know
that.
[10:30] <JustLurking> I was going to ask that myself Smile

[10:30] <JustLurking> ok, step is up now
[10:30] <AvelonPM> The ending depending on if the players got the solve or not.
[10:30] * JustLurking sets mode: +v step
[10:30] <AvelonPM> go.
[10:30] <AvelonPM> Smile

[10:30] <step> First off great job!
[10:31] <AvelonPM> thanks. You guys too.
[10:31] <step> I was sure there was more than 1 of you - i'm impressed
[10:31] <AvelonPM> Smile

[10:31] <step> i was wondering how you feel about the number of people that
participated
[10:31] <AvelonPM> Great.
[10:31] <AvelonPM> One person was cool.. but THIS many?
[10:31] <step> were you expecting more/less?
[10:31] <AvelonPM> I was like... wow
[10:32] <AvelonPM> I didn't know what to expect.
[10:32] <AvelonPM> Being my first ARG and no one really knowing who was behind
it.
[10:32] * step nods
[10:32] <JustLurking> follow-up?
[10:33] <step> and as a follow up, when can we expect the next one? Smile

[10:33] <JustLurking> good question Smile

[10:33] <AvelonPM> Another Avelon? probably not... But I do have more in the
making.
[10:33] <AvelonPM> I need to ask everyone a question if that's okay.
[10:34] * JustLurking sets mode: -v step
[10:34] <JustLurking> sure
[10:34] <JustLurking> want me to de-mod the channel?
[10:34] <AvelonPM> Did you have fun? Or was there more that could have been done
to keep you a lot more interested.
[10:34] <AvelonPM> You can de-mod.
[10:34] <JustLurking> how about this....we've got 2 more people to ask questions
[10:34] <AvelonPM> Okay..
[10:34] <AvelonPM> Then they can answer
[10:35] <JustLurking> then we can end it, de-mod the channel, and you can get
the feedback
[10:35] <AvelonPM> okay... sounds cool
[10:35] <JustLurking> ok
[10:35] <JustLurking> wisdomwarrior is up next
[10:35] * JustLurking sets mode: +v wisdomwarrior
[10:35] <wisdomwarrior> im back lol
[10:35] <AvelonPM> hehe
[10:35] <wisdomwarrior> i have two questions
[10:35] <AvelonPM> okay
[10:35] <wisdomwarrior> one IG and one OOG
[10:35] <AvelonPM> okay
[10:35] <wisdomwarrior> OOG- how did it feel to play male and female characters?
was it difficult?
[10:36] <AvelonPM> Yeah... I mean, I do a lot of acting work, so I tried to stay
in character as much as I could.
[10:36] <AvelonPM> That's why I had both females in at once.
[10:37] <AvelonPM> It was easier to concentrate.
[10:37] <wisdomwarrior> well you played all of the roles very well
[10:37] <AvelonPM> well, thank you.
[10:37] <wisdomwarrior> can i ask my IG question?
[10:37] <AvelonPM> And I wanted to thank you for killing off Richard.. less
characters to worry about. Smile

[10:37] <AvelonPM> sure.
[10:37] <wisdomwarrior> lol
[10:37] <wisdomwarrior> quick....
[10:37] <wisdomwarrior> alison's husbands name
[10:38] <AvelonPM> Your guess is as good as mine. Smile

[10:38] <JustLurking> lol
[10:38] <JustLurking> ok, one more
[10:38] <wisdomwarrior> lol
[10:38] <wisdomwarrior> thanks
[10:38] * JustLurking sets mode: -v wisdomwarrior
[10:38] * JustLurking sets mode: +v KSG
[10:38] <JustLurking> KSG is up last
[10:38] <AvelonPM> okay
[10:38] <KSG> Step and wisdom have basically asked what I was going to, so as a
follow-up....
[10:39] <KSG> How much sleep did you miss in order to play, what, four or five
characters?
[10:39] <AvelonPM> Not much... I'm a night person anyway... So I was up in time
to chat and go to work, then come back to chat some more.
[10:39] <AvelonPM> I did want a lot of character interactiong.
[10:40] <AvelonPM> This hour is not normal for me to be up.
[10:40] <JustLurking> anything else, KSG?
[10:40] <KSG> Me neither. I blame you for my being up this early. :�
[10:40] <AvelonPM> But I wanted to make time for everyone who played and knew
that not everyone was living by the same timezone.
[10:40] <AvelonPM> Smile

[10:41] <KSG> Feedback, but you're about to de-mod and let us all do that.
[10:41] * JustLurking sets mode: -v KSG
[10:41] <JustLurking> Alright, and that bring to an end the first PM Chat session
[10:41] <JustLurking> next one is in 4 hours, 20 minutes
[10:41] <JustLurking> Smile

[10:41] <AvelonPM> Bob.. that's Alisons' husbands name... heeh
[10:41] <JustLurking> A big thanks to CrustyBottom for all the hard work he did
to get this all done
[10:42] <JustLurking> And now.....
[10:42] * JustLurking sets mode: -m
[10:42] <JustLurking> chat away
[10:42] <AvelonPM> Yes.. I am NOT Black Awakening.
[10:42] <step> Smile

[10:42] <KSG> <10:35:42> - <AvelonPM> Did you have fun? Or was there more that
could have been done to keep you a lot more interested. <----- Yes! We had
lots of fun!
[10:42] <AvelonPM> Good to hear.
[10:42] * Nady has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 181 seconds)
[10:42] <JoeOE18> ahh so it was crusty....
[10:42] <wisdomwarrior> i just wanna say that i am gonna stay into ARGs cuz of
this one
[10:42] <JoeOE18> wily old crusty
[10:43] <step> lotsa positive feedback from me
[10:43] <AvelonPM> wisdom: thank you.
[10:43] <JoeOE18> i enjoyed my self immensly Smile

[10:43] <AvelonPM> step too
[10:43] <AvelonPM> Maybe I'll have some more help on my next one. Smile

[10:43] <KSG> And wisdom was right, you're a great actor. Your characters all
seemed like real people with their own personalities.
[10:43] <JustLurking> was very well done!
[10:43] <AvelonPM> So a one person PM was a shock?
[10:44] <JustLurking> absolutely
[10:44] <AvelonPM> except for Jarod... that was by Jot
[10:44] <AvelonPM> He asked if I needed help and I agreed to give him that one.
[10:44] <step> yes the chracters were excellent, i especially liked that at
times they just chatted with us about stuff in general - it really added a lot
of depth to them
[10:44] <JoeOE18> after finding out RT was one PM, i'm not so shocked to find
out htis was Smile

[10:44] <JoeOE18> but still, i could easilly have seen this being 2 or 3 people
[10:45] <AvelonPM> 6 characters was a little rough... but I'm glad you all
enjoyed it.
[10:45] <AvelonPM> It definitely makes this all worth it.
[10:45] <KSG> I had a feeling it was one person, myself. One very dedicated
person, though.
[10:45] <KSG> Aw. Smile

[10:45] <AvelonPM> Okay... so another question from me.
[10:46] <AvelonPM> Bets on how long after the ARG was thought up that it got
launched?
[10:46] <step> The storyline was lot of fun too - the constant plot twists kept
us on our toes
[10:46] <JoeOE18> 2 days!
[10:46] <JoeOE18> Razz

[10:46] <JustLurking> 3 months
[10:46] <KSG> Not a clue.
[10:46] <wisdomwarrior> a month
[10:46] <AvelonPM> 5 days
[10:46] <step> wow
[10:46] <JoeOE18> ooohh i was close
[10:46] <KSG> Fast!
[10:46] <JustLurking> wow
[10:46] <AvelonPM> 5 days of Nooooooo sleep.
[10:46] <JustLurking> really?
[10:46] <JoeOE18> haha
[10:47] <AvelonPM> I had the story and the puzzles so I was like... Why wait?
[10:47] <JoeOE18> that is moderatley amazing Smile

[10:47] <JoeOE18> i'm glad you didn't Razz

[10:47] <KSG> That is entirely amazing...especially considering that Perplex
City has ~10 people and is taking over a year to start. :�
[10:48] <AvelonPM> Don't worry... my next one will atleast have 7 days of
planning.
[10:48] <AvelonPM> Smile

[10:48] <step> lol
[10:48] <KSG> Haha
[10:48] <JustLurking> hehe
[10:48] <JoeOE18> wow then its definatley going to be good Smile

[10:48] <JustLurking> had you done any PM stuff before this?
[10:48] <AvelonPM> Smile

[10:48] <AvelonPM> No
[10:48] <AvelonPM> First time for all of this. I've played a couple of games.
[10:48] <step> how long have you been ARGing?
[10:48] <JustLurking> well, it didn't show
[10:48] <AvelonPM> As you probably notived.
[10:49] <AvelonPM> Step: my first one was WI
[10:49] <step> wow
[10:49] <AvelonPM> SO not long at all.
[10:49] <wisdomwarrior> do you have to know how to design webpages to be a good
PM or have a good ARG?
[10:49] <JustLurking> and nice ARG references in Derk's blog post Wink

[10:49] <AvelonPM> But I'll be sticking around for a long time.
[10:49] <AvelonPM> wisdom: I fully believe in the story.
[10:49] <JoeOE18> yay
[10:49] <AvelonPM> My web-page developement skills suck.
[10:50] <AvelonPM> Thanks to YAHOO!
[10:50] <wisdomwarrior> cool
[10:50] <wisdomwarrior> so not to offend you, but anyone with the desire can do
one?
[10:50] <AvelonPM> Just: Yeah, that was my "This really is a game" reference.
[10:50] <AvelonPM> wisdom: Trust me... if I can... then I'd say yes.
[10:50] <AvelonPM> Smile

[10:50] <KSG> Hehe.
[10:50] <AvelonPM> But you have to put the time in.
[10:51] <AvelonPM> Or you'll end up being a BA.
[10:51] <wisdomwarrior> whats BA?
[10:51] <AvelonPM> Black Awakening.
[10:51] <JoeOE18> Bachelor of Arts?
[10:51] <JoeOE18> lol
[10:51] <AvelonPM> I was soo into that game too.
[10:51] <JoeOE18> "We're in a different time, go away"
[10:51] <AvelonPM> Kinda made me mad.
[10:51] <step> check out the thread wisdom
[10:51] <KSG> All these Black Awakening comments are going completely over my
head....
[10:51] <wisdomwarrior> mine too
[10:52] <AvelonPM> hehe
[10:52] <AvelonPM> Well, that's good.
[10:52] <JoeOE18> i wanted to be Lt. Joe Sad

[10:52] <KSG> Ouch. Heh.
[10:52] <AvelonPM> Trust me.. it was not a fun thing.
[10:52] <KSG> Crap ARG?
[10:52] <JoeOE18> crap and short
[10:52] <AvelonPM> Gone down the pooper it did.
[10:52] <KSG> Sad

[10:52] <step> it crashed and burned
[10:52] <AvelonPM> I was praying this wouldn't do the same.
[10:53] <JoeOE18> it certainly didn't Smile

[10:53] <step> KSG, the way it ended was an insult to a lot of the players
[10:53] <wisdomwarrior> i dont mean to get sentimental, but i thought it helped
that we were a family of sorts here
[10:53] <KSG> Now you know you can do it. Maybe you'll be less nervous next
time. Smile

[10:53] <KSG> How so, step?
[10:53] <AvelonPM> yes
[10:53] <AvelonPM> on both comments
[10:53] <JoeOE18> Team Tollin forever!!
[10:53] <AvelonPM> hehe
[10:54] <KSG> Yeah...after you left last night, we were talking about how Team
Tollin wanted to stick together and take on our next ARG as a group.
[10:54] <AvelonPM> Oh...
[10:54] <AvelonPM> The Leviticus thing.
[10:54] <KSG> Oh yeah.
[10:54] <AvelonPM> Woopie (the comedian) mentions something about it in here act.
[10:54] <AvelonPM> I had it as my exit but never changed it.
[10:54] <AvelonPM> Smile

[10:55] <JoeOE18> lol
[10:55] <AvelonPM> Oh.. any my real name...
[10:55] <AvelonPM> Is Eric Trott.. thanks to Yahoo again for that.
[10:55] <AvelonPM> One of my many mis-gues.
[10:55] <AvelonPM> ques*
[10:56] <AvelonPM> I thought that admin would reply as admin... not myself.
[10:56] <JoeOE18> good god, now i'm only playing 1 ARG....
[10:56] <JustLurking> gwg
[10:56] <AvelonPM> Joe: hehe
[10:56] <JustLurking> heh
[10:56] <JoeOE18> quickly start another one!
[10:56] <wisdomwarrior> yeah, i forgot to ask that in PM question time
[10:56] <AvelonPM> Yeah, I need to find another one.
[10:56] * Nady has joined #avelon
[10:56] <JoeOE18> i think 10 mins is enough planning time Razz

[10:56] <wisdomwarrior> sometimes i got email from one person with a different
name than the email addy
[10:56] <AvelonPM> when?
[10:57] <AvelonPM> who?
[10:57] <JustLurking> like with Harry?
[10:57] <wisdomwarrior> i sent mail to Stuart Ables
[10:57] <wisdomwarrior> and it got returned from Jarod Ables account
[10:57] * chippy waves
[10:57] <KSG> (WB Nady.)
[10:57] <AvelonPM> Hmmm... well, chaulk that up to my mistake.
[10:57] <Nady> thank you KSG
[10:57] <wisdomwarrior> there are 12 of us and 1 of you
[10:58] <AvelonPM> I tried to forward then the best I could.
[10:58] <AvelonPM> them*
[10:58] <wisdomwarrior> we were trying to keep up with you
[10:58] <AvelonPM> Wow... really bad hour for me.
[10:58] <KSG> Speaking of email, apologies again for sending the least formal
one you recieved the entire time. Wink

[10:59] <AvelonPM> The first time I checked Derks' e-mail account I was like...
"Oh, this is going to take more time then I thought."
[10:59] <step> Smile

[10:59] <JoeOE18> Razz

[10:59] <AvelonPM> 17 the first day.
[10:59] <KSG> Everyone else was writing these big essays, and I'm like "I'm
supposed to tell you to get in IRC...so...get in IRC. Bye."
[10:59] <KSG> Wow.
[10:59] <AvelonPM> KSG: np
[11:00] <AvelonPM> How many? First ARG? (gets asked a lot so I might as well,
too)
[11:00] <chippy> hello crusty!! (reading up)
[11:00] <AvelonPM> hello, chippy
[11:00] <KSG> Sort of my first. I've been waiting on Perplex City for months.
[11:00] <chippy> well played Smile

[11:00] * wisdomwarrior my first ARG
[11:01] <JustLurking> I'm relatively experienced....been around since UH
[11:01] <AvelonPM> Okay.. so honest rating...
[11:01] <AvelonPM> 1 - 10
[11:01] <JoeOE18> 8
[11:01] <KSG> 8 or 9.
[11:01] <step> 8.5
[11:02] <step> Smile

[11:02] <JustLurking> 8
[11:02] * wisdomwarrior 9.5.... you need a reason to keep going for perfection
[11:02] <JustLurking> second best arg I've played Smile

[11:02] <KSG> There's a consensus in here.
[11:02] <AvelonPM> Wow... i was shooting for a 6 or 7
[11:02] <step> it was really good
[11:02] <Nady> it`s my first reading one .( when I finished up reading it was
over ) ..so I can`t give much rating .. Sad

[11:02] <JoeOE18> seconded
[11:03] <KSG> Poor Nady. Sad

[11:03] <AvelonPM> Well, Nady.. how about the story?
[11:03] <AvelonPM> How would you rate that?
[11:03] <Nady> I liked it to the extent of reading 12 long post pages ...lol
[11:03] <Nady> fairly 8
[11:03] <AvelonPM> hehe
[11:03] <AvelonPM> good
[11:03] <Nady> if not more
[11:03] <step> the size was really nice - more intimate, and the characters like
i said were excellent, and the amount of interaction was impressive
[11:04] <AvelonPM> Well, it's good to see that I went beyond my expectations.
[11:04] <JoeOE18> yeah the characters where definatley the best part
[11:04] <step> and i loved all the twists in the stor-line
[11:04] <step> *story
[11:04] <AvelonPM> You could tell when I had off because there was a lot more
interactiong.
[11:04] <AvelonPM> in chat.
[11:05] <JustLurking> so, we could have killed Derk, too?
[11:05] <JustLurking> Smile

[11:05] <AvelonPM> I tried to get a lot in.
[11:05] <AvelonPM> Just: yes.
[11:05] <JustLurking> cool Smile

[11:05] <KSG> o.O
[11:05] <JoeOE18> Surprised

[11:05] <AvelonPM> But I made sure that you didn't.
[11:05] <AvelonPM> I kinda felt bad about giving hints and stuff.
[11:05] <JoeOE18> phew
[11:05] <JustLurking> hehehe
[11:05] <JustLurking> we appreciate it Wink

[11:06] <KSG> If we take too long to solve something, a little prodding is
acceptable.
[11:06] <AvelonPM> Some were so obviously hints that I almost kicked myself.
[11:06] <AvelonPM> Like the Base being Base64
[11:06] <step> the only awkward part i think was the password jpg - obviously
there was no way IG to get that too us so it was a little weird talking about
it here while Alison and Tracy were here too
[11:06] <KSG> I'm still wondering how looking in /images/ is "trying to cheat"
though.
[11:07] <JoeOE18> oh yeah, when you sent me that PM, was the RUN meant to be a
clue about base?
[11:07] <AvelonPM> KSG: I took that out.
[11:07] <JoeOE18> also i got confused with pizza :p
[11:07] <KSG> Yeah, we were talking about armpassword.jpg in #behindtheirbacks .
[11:07] <AvelonPM> I was like "That's just not right to say"
[11:07] <AvelonPM> It was wrong of me to put that in there in the first place.
[11:07] <AvelonPM> I changed it as fast as I could.
[11:07] <AvelonPM> But you guys are quick.
[11:07] <wisdomwarrior> i have a question about the game crusty
[11:08] <KSG> Eh, you're forgiven.
[11:08] <AvelonPM> okay, wisdom.
[11:08] * chippy has caught up Smile

[11:08] <wisdomwarrior> how come Harry could never get into Richard's office...
that bugged me forever lol
[11:08] <AvelonPM> He didn't have the code to the door.
[11:08] <wisdomwarrior> lol
[11:09] <JoeOE18> i like how the characters seemed to adapt their plans when we
came up with ideas
[11:09] <JoeOE18> aka the ricahrds office thing
[11:09] <JoeOE18> richards*
[11:09] <AvelonPM> Joe: like I said, I did want this to be player involved.
[11:09] <KSG> Yeah, that was pretty cool. Much more believable than making
excuses to do things their way would have been, too.
[11:09] <AvelonPM> I tried to make room for that.
[11:09] <JoeOE18> twas Very Happy

[11:10] <JustLurking> what was your original plan for us to get the password?
[11:10] <AvelonPM> There were things that I was trying to push you guys to agree
to though.
[11:10] <JoeOE18> hehe
[11:10] <AvelonPM> Just: That was one of those "The players will decide how it
ends".
[11:10] <JustLurking> cool Smile

[11:11] <AvelonPM> If you got it, great... if not, that would have been sad, but
cool, too.
[11:11] <JoeOE18> the "live action" bits where very cool aswell Very Happy

[11:11] <AvelonPM> Not all stories have to have happy endings.
[11:11] <Nady> crusty ...u said u`re working on two ARGs right ?
[11:11] <AvelonPM> Nady: yes.
[11:12] <step> i was so terrified they were gonna get in a car accident during
the get-away Smile

[11:12] <JoeOE18> lol
[11:12] <Nady> anything coming soon ...( Man I want to join in the fun ...lol)
[11:12] <AvelonPM> step: hehe
[11:12] <chippy> firstly: it was really engrossing, there were times when it was
real for me. so well done Very Happy

and sooo much believable chat - great! however i
thought the hints to the puzzles were given too quickly, and that you were
helping us solve them to your schedule, i personally of course, felt that that
kind of lessened the suspension of disbelief - referring mainly to the google
search that wouldnt work for us Brits
[11:12] <AvelonPM> Nady: not for about 6 months atleast.
[11:12] <AvelonPM> I want to play some games to get a better understanding of
what to give people.
[11:13] <AvelonPM> chippy: That's how I felt, too. That's why I felt kinda bad
doing it.
[11:13] <chippy> hmm, ok. it felt strange, Alison setting us a puzzle, then
helping us to crack it
[11:14] <chippy> i did like the countdown... it really made things feel critical
and urgent
[11:14] <KSG> I'd have to agree...the only thing that bugged me about this ARG
was Alison helping us crack puzzles.
[11:14] <AvelonPM> So an "inside" person would have been better then?
[11:14] <AvelonPM> For next time?
[11:14] <KSG> And yeah, the countown was good.
[11:15] <chippy> erm, maybe comments in source code?
[11:15] <AvelonPM> okay... thank you.
[11:15] <JoeOE18> did anyone ask about richard further up?
[11:15] <KSG> I would say whoever creates a puzzle should be the one to add
hints to it.
[11:15] <chippy> oh....is tracy single? i never did get find out Wink

[11:15] <KSG> About Alison seeing him? I did.
[11:15] <KSG> Haha.
[11:15] <JoeOE18> ah ok Smile

[11:16] <AvelonPM> Chippy: Tracy says "hello".
[11:16] <KSG> Smile

[11:16] <chippy> Very Happy

[11:16] <chippy> good point, KSG. at a couple of times, i just wanted to shout
out "SHE IS YOUR SISTER!!"
[11:16] <JoeOE18> lol
[11:17] <KSG> In that case, tell Derk that ProfMoriarty, Six, and Kythen said
"hi." Smile

[11:17] <chippy> but we collaboratively held back. didnt want to freak Derk out
[11:17] <AvelonPM> okay...
[11:17] <AvelonPM> chippy: Believe or not that was part of the mind game.
[11:17] <AvelonPM> How much you could say without killing him.
[11:17] <AvelonPM> You say too much and BAM!
[11:17] <chippy> i can believe it Smile

yes!! very good!
[11:17] <AvelonPM> I was proud of you.
[11:17] <JoeOE18> did someone really send an email giving derk the link to
avelontech?
[11:18] <AvelonPM> yes.
[11:18] <JoeOE18> silly person
[11:18] <step> who?????? Smile

[11:18] <chippy> LOL
[11:18] <JoeOE18> but it made for an amazing chat
[11:18] <JustLurking> hehe
[11:18] <wisdomwarrior> lol
[11:18] <AvelonPM> I don't recall right now.
[11:18] <JoeOE18> i was really nervous when he came in and asked about it
[11:18] <AvelonPM> I used that to my advantage.
[11:18] <KSG> I was so nervous the first time I got to talk to an in-game
character (never done that before), and when I was talking one-on-one to
Alison. I kept expecting to say something abismally stupid and OOG....
[11:18] <JoeOE18> that was definatlye my favourite bit
[11:18] <step> that was great though - really put us on the spot
[11:18] <JoeOE18> bah i can't type this evening
[11:19] <step> and made things more believable
[11:19] <KSG> *nods*
[11:19] <wisdomwarrior> i remember the time when it was me and richard.... i was
waiting for someone to come and help me... i was worried i would mess
everything up
[11:20] <KSG> Like killing him?
[11:20] <JoeOE18> murderer Razz

[11:20] <JoeOE18> j/k
[11:20] <KSG> Wink

[11:20] <AvelonPM> The mind games where cool though.
[11:20] <KSG> Very.
[11:20] <AvelonPM> Nice twist on it.
[11:20] <wisdomwarrior> i liked it when we got the surprise character visits
[11:20] <chippy> were there any other characters who you developed, but never
came into play, like some of the other avelontech employees, or Derks brother?
[11:20] <JoeOE18> i liked that they came in at all different times as well
[11:20] <AvelonPM> I did that when a new person would join the channel.
[11:20] <wisdomwarrior> everyone was oh crap
[11:20] <step> yeah wisdom, don't start killing characters in every ARG you
follow now
[11:21] <chippy> lol AvelonPM. intentional newbie hazing
[11:21] <AvelonPM> chippy: no... I had enough to deal with. Smile

[11:21] <chippy> cool Smile

[11:21] <AvelonPM> 6 is my limit I think.
[11:22] <AvelonPM> okay... since this will be a different answer to each
person.. best and worst part(s)?
[11:22] <chippy> (theres some social theory stuff that says a network of 5 is
optimal - otherwise the combinations/permutations of relationships between
chars get too much)
[11:22] <AvelonPM> chippy: I can vouch for that.
[11:23] <step> hmm....
[11:23] * Nady has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[11:23] <chippy> best - characters & loads of interaction/chat worst - deux ex
puzzle solving
[11:23] <AvelonPM> poor ping
[11:23] <step> i guess i'm with chippy
[11:24] <AvelonPM> How about the lack of puzzles? A bother or where you kept
busy enough?
[11:24] <JoeOE18> i already told you my favourite bit.....worst probably lack of
puzzles
[11:24] <KSG> Hm...best would be Richard's death. That was a great twist, made
things exciting, and it was really fascinating to watch everyone else react
to. Worst...I missed the deus ex thing, so no comment there. I'd say Alison
dropping hints.
[11:24] <AvelonPM> Joe: gotcha
[11:24] <JoeOE18> Smile

[11:24] <step> that was pretty good - but there were a few dry spells
[11:24] <KSG> It could use more puzzles, but the character interraction largely
made up for that.
[11:24] <JoeOE18> seconded
[11:25] <AvelonPM> Okay.. so more puzzles. I was trying to balance. But live and
learn.
[11:25] <chippy> we were kept busy with spec about situ and characters... true
there wasnt that much in the way of hardcore puzzles- but im not a puzzle
freak, so it was good for me Smile

[11:25] <step> well, puzzles are tricky - they need a reason to be there.. so
if there is no reason.. they don't add them just to fill things up
[11:26] <AvelonPM> okay...
[11:26] <KSG> Yeah, you can have all the puzzles in the world, but a game needs
characters and plot to actually be fun. Your balance was not that far off at
all. I was never bored for lack of things to be stumped by.
[11:26] <step> basically, story driven puzzles
[11:26] <AvelonPM> step: okay...
[11:27] <chippy> were there many non-irc players that emailed you, or who you
knew played...most of the forum posts were chat logs *chuckles* but im always
interested in how people play
[11:28] <AvelonPM> So all around? More puzzles but story involved?
[11:28] <step> not too much more - i think the other aspects balanced that out
like KSG said
[11:28] <chippy> yeah
[11:28] <Russell|Sleeping> oh dear looks like im late Sad

[11:28] * Russell|Sleeping is now known as Russell
[11:29] <AvelonPM> Russell... don't worry... 3 1/2 more hours until I do this
all over again.
[11:29] <Russell> cool! will be back then Smile

[11:29] * Nady has joined #avelon
[11:29] <JoeOE18> are you going to do the pretending to be Derk thing again Razz

[11:29] <AvelonPM> yes... kind of the end of the story
[11:29] <JoeOE18> ok Smile

[11:29] <AvelonPM> So no posting.. )
[11:29] <JoeOE18> ok!
[11:30] <AvelonPM> I'm out of questions.
[11:30] <AvelonPM> Smile

[14:47] <AlisonYoung> oh... hey.
[14:47] <AlisonYoung> How are you?
[14:47] <KSG> I'm good.
[14:48] <AlisonYoung> Good.
[14:48] <JoeOE18> hello Alison Smile

[14:48] <KSG> How're you doing?
[14:48] <AlisonYoung> hello, Joe
[14:48] <AlisonYoung> Great...
[14:48] <AlisonYoung> thanks.
[14:48] <JoeOE18> hows everyone doing?
[14:48] <AlisonYoung> Well, Derk is doing great.
[14:48] <JoeOE18> excellent Smile

[14:49] <KSG> Smile

[14:49] <AlisonYoung> Tracy, last time I checked, was at the police station
giving her statement.
[14:49] <AlisonYoung> So is Harry.
[14:49] <JoeOE18> ahh good Very Happy

[14:49] <JoeOE18> hehe
[14:49] <AlisonYoung> And Lyle is in custody.
[14:49] <KSG> Better still.
[14:49] <AlisonYoung> So everything is dandy.
[14:49] <JoeOE18> yay
[14:49] <KSG> Has Emily freed any patients yet?
[14:49] <AlisonYoung> Derk will be here in about 10 minutes.
[14:50] <AlisonYoung> I just thought I'd prep everyone on what happend today. Smile

[14:50] <AlisonYoung> So is it just you two right now?
[14:50] <KSG> Thanks. Smile

[14:50] <KSG> Seems to be.
[14:50] <KSG> I think the rest will show up in ten minutes, though.
[14:50] <AlisonYoung> Hmmm... well, that's good I guess.
[14:50] <AlisonYoung> Oh... yeah, probably.
[14:51] <KSG> You sound like you'd prefer a smaller audience.
[14:51] <AlisonYoung> Well, any size will do. I don't expect people to change
the world for me.
[14:52] <JoeOE18> oooh was that a pun?
[14:52] <AlisonYoung> Although you guys have changed my world... thank you, by
the way.
[14:52] <JoeOE18> no problemo
[14:52] <KSG> Not at all. Smile

[14:52] <AlisonYoung> No, it's just that I realize that people have other lives
to attend to.
[14:52] <KSG> We do?
[14:52] <AlisonYoung> Smile

[14:53] <JoeOE18> lives you say?
[14:53] <AlisonYoung> Okay... well, not EVERYONE.
[14:53] <JoeOE18> no i don't think i have any of those....
[14:53] <AlisonYoung> Smile

[14:54] * AlisonYoung waits for Derk.
[14:54] * JoeOE18 waits also
[14:54] <AlisonYoung> hehe
[14:54] * KSG considers getting a smoothie during the wait *
[14:54] <AlisonYoung> It's been a looong day. But well worth it.
[14:54] <AlisonYoung> Oooo, smoothie.
[14:54] <AlisonYoung> Lucky.
[14:55] <AlisonYoung> I have Diet Pop.
[14:55] <KSG> I'd make you one, but it would probably melt by the time it
crossed two time zones and got to you....
[14:55] <JoeOE18> mmm i had a smoothie today....
[14:55] * JustLurking sets mode: +o AlisonYoung
[14:55] <KSG> Hey JL.

to give away?
[15:09] <CreativeEmbassy> hey everyone
[15:09] <chippy> hi CreativeEmbassy
[15:09] <AvelonPM> I gave Jot a little background information and he ran with it.
[15:09] <AvelonPM> He did great.
[15:09] <KSG> Jot managed to throw off my there-is-one-PM theory for a bit.
[15:09] <Russell> hi ce
[15:10] <Russell> lol
[15:10] <CreativeEmbassy> hey
[15:10] <AvelonPM> And, as I mentioned earlier, I did the rest.

[15:15] <JustLurking> to ask a question, pm me and I'll put you in the queue
[15:16] <JustLurking> and then, I'll voice the person who wants to ask a
question, and they can do a question and follow up (to make sure that everyone
gets a chance)
[15:16] <JustLurking> ready?
[15:16] <AvelonPM> I am
[15:16] <JustLurking> alright
[15:16] <JustLurking> first up is chippy
[15:17] * JustLurking sets mode: +v chippy
[15:17] <AvelonPM> What if someone wants to ask Jot a question about Jarod?
[15:17] * JustLurking sets mode: +v Jot
[15:17] <JustLurking> since he was part of the PM team Smile

[15:17] <AvelonPM> Smile

[15:17] <chippy> first off, great game, was so much fun!! my question is....
What will happen the day after today....is there a sequel?
[15:18] <AvelonPM> Well, first part.. thanks... I would like to thank everyone
who played. I really wasn't quite expecting this many people.
[15:18] <AvelonPM> Second, a sequel is not in the planning. I have two other
games that I'm working on.
[15:18] <AvelonPM> But, you never know.
[15:18] * Guest62662 has left #avelon
[15:18] <AvelonPM> I'd have to figure out what they would do.
[15:18] <chippy> ok, i was thinking, what will Derk do now? eat pizza? find his
long lost family?
[15:19] <JustLurking> lol
[15:19] <AvelonPM> Well, his family is dead. Alison is the only family that he
has lost.
[15:19] <AvelonPM> Unless you count Uncles and stuff like that.
[15:19] * Guest62662 has joined #avelon
[15:19] <AvelonPM> So, just pizza for now.
[15:19] <chippy> ok. thanks Smile

[15:19] <AvelonPM> Recover.
[15:19] <AvelonPM> et.c
[15:19] * JustLurking sets mode: -v chippy
[15:19] <AvelonPM> etc.
[15:19] <JustLurking> next up is Russell
[15:19] * JustLurking sets mode: +v Russell
[15:19] <Russell> again kudos to the PM. My Q is how far did you forsee the
storyline going i.e. did we take it further/was this always the outcome?
[15:20] <Jot> Gotta go guys. I'll be on tonight
[15:20] <AvelonPM> c-ya Jot and thanks again.
[15:20] * Jot is now known as Jot|Friends
[15:20] <AvelonPM> The outcome depending on the players... whether you got the
code or not.
[15:20] <AvelonPM> Derk could have died.
[15:20] * LBoomer has joined #avelon
[15:21] <AvelonPM> But there was a time limit set.
[15:21] <Russell> ok, did wisdom cause richards death then?
[15:21] <JustLurking> reminder, pm me and I'll put you in the queue to ask a
question of the PM
[15:21] <AvelonPM> yes.
[15:21] <Russell> Crying or Very sad

[15:21] <AvelonPM> I wanted as much player involvement as I could manage to put
in there.
[15:22] * JustLurking sets mode: -v Russell
[15:22] * Poke|SLEEP has joined #avelon
[15:22] <JustLurking> ok...KSG is up next
[15:22] <AvelonPM> Wisdom gave me a nice twist to play with and one less
character to worry about.
[15:22] * JustLurking sets mode: +v KSG
[15:22] <KSG> You said that Derk could have died, and that you stopped us from
letting him.
[15:22] <AvelonPM> I tried to, yes.
[15:22] <KSG> Did you mean we could have failed to make the deadline, or
something else?
[15:22] <KSG> And in either case, how did you stop us?
[15:23] <AvelonPM> Yes, you could have failed.
[15:23] <AvelonPM> I tried to give clues where I could.
[15:23] <AvelonPM> Plus I made the numbers not too long so if you needed to
force, you could still make it.
[15:24] * KSG is done for now *
[15:24] <AvelonPM> But I was trying to avoid forcing it...
[15:24] <AvelonPM> And you all were
[15:24] <KSG> Yeah, sorry. Sad

[15:24] * JustLurking sets mode: -v KSG
[15:24] <JustLurking> guess it was just difficult for us to determine where the
numbers should come from
[15:24] <JustLurking> reminder, pm me and I'll put you in the queue to ask a
question of the PM
[15:25] <AvelonPM> Yeah, I was hoping people would catch on about the Desoto
area code being part of the numbers.
[15:25] <AvelonPM> That's why I kept mentioning it.
[15:25] <AvelonPM> Once the second number was given everyone caught on pretty
quick.
[15:26] <JustLurking> so, what prompted you to create the arg?
[15:26] <AvelonPM> Oh, good question.
[15:27] <AvelonPM> Like I said earlier.. I have a couple of others that I'm
making.
[15:27] <AvelonPM> This one stood out as a good one to try out.
[15:27] * Guest62662 has left #avelon
[15:27] <AvelonPM> I've played a few and got interesting in starting on myself.
[15:27] <JustLurking> alright
[15:27] <JustLurking> wisdomwarrior is up nest
[15:27] * JustLurking sets mode: +v wisdomwarrior
[15:27] <wisdomwarrior> ok
[15:28] <wisdomwarrior> hi again
[15:28] <AvelonPM> hello
[15:28] <wisdomwarrior> my question is about "avelon"
[15:28] <wisdomwarrior> is that a real place
[15:28] <AvelonPM> If you do a google search on it, you'll find some interesting
stuff.
[15:28] <AvelonPM> But as far as it being a place? no.
[15:28] <AvelonPM> Town? no.
[15:28] <wisdomwarrior> and what about the names of the individuals
[15:29] <AvelonPM> Bunn is a real street where I live.
[15:29] <AvelonPM> Ables is my boss' last name.
[15:29] <AvelonPM> And the rest just kinda fell into place.
[15:29] <wisdomwarrior> Bunn is funny
[15:29] * Lora has joined #avelon
[15:30] * ChanServ sets mode: +h Lora
[15:30] <JustLurking> anythign else?
[15:30] <wisdomwarrior> thats it, thank you for taking your time
[15:30] <wisdomwarrior> i might have one later
[15:30] <AvelonPM> Thank you for taking yours.
[15:30] <AvelonPM> okay.
[15:30] * JustLurking sets mode: -v wisdomwarrior
[15:30] <JustLurking> reminder, pm me and I'll put you in the queue to ask a
question of the PM
[15:31] <JustLurking> ok, another question....what was Richard when Alison saw
him in the building?
[15:31] <JustLurking> a ghost?
[15:31] <AvelonPM> yes.. he was still helping.
[15:31] <AvelonPM> Odd, I know.
[15:31] <AvelonPM> But I needed something interesting in the "get away" chat.
[15:32] * JustLurking sets mode: +v KSG
[15:32] <JustLurking> KSG is up
[15:32] <KSG> Do either of your future ARG ideas include more ghosts?
[15:33] <AvelonPM> None right now.
[15:33] <AvelonPM> I don't know if I want to say what they will include.
[15:33] <AvelonPM> But there will definitely be things in the other that I could
not get into this one.,
[15:33] <AvelonPM> Phone Calls.
[15:33] <AvelonPM> For one...
[15:33] <AvelonPM> A face-to-face meeting for two.
[15:34] * JustLurking sets mode: -v KSG
[15:34] * JustLurking sets mode: +v Kythen
[15:34] <JustLurking> Kythen has a question now
[15:34] <Kythen> hey, thanks again for such an awesome game! i really
appreciated how personal you made it and how easy it was for us newbies to
just hop in
[15:35] * Kjartan has left #avelon
[15:35] <AvelonPM> Ummm.. okay, I'll respond.
[15:35] <Kythen> i was wondering how developed you had the workings of the ARM
device from the start of the game
[15:35] <AvelonPM> oh, wrong person.
[15:35] <Kythen> being the detail-oriented geek i am, i was trying to figure out
how it worked the entire time until you had alison explain it to me the other
night
[15:35] <AvelonPM> I pretty knew how much everything was going to work before
the launch.
[15:36] <Kythen> did we fill in details for you with our questions?
[15:37] <AvelonPM> Yeah, I guess you could say that. For some things there was
some filling in done.
[15:37] <AvelonPM> But all in all, I had everything written down and plotted.
[15:37] <AvelonPM> But it was up to the players really.
[15:37] <AvelonPM> I left some room for changes that they would make to the game.
[15:38] <AvelonPM> Or I would change little things here and there based on their
suggestions.
[15:38] <Kythen> cool. well, i can't wait for your next game! Smile

[15:38] <AvelonPM> But the story remained the same.
[15:38] * JustLurking sets mode: -v Kythen
[15:38] * delusional696 has joined #avelon
[15:38] <JustLurking> our resident murderer is up next
[15:38] <AvelonPM> hehe..
[15:38] * JustLurking sets mode: +v wisdomwarrior
[15:38] -> *delusional696* join #avepmchat
[15:39] <JustLurking> reminder, pm me and I'll put you in the queue to ask a
question of the PM
[15:39] <wisdomwarrior> hey
[15:40] <wisdomwarrior> another q
[15:40] <AvelonPM> hello
[15:40] <AvelonPM> okay
[15:40] <wisdomwarrior> can you give some advice for those who might think of
doing an ARG?
[15:41] <AvelonPM> Hmmm... well, what I learned from doing this one is puzzles.
[15:41] <AvelonPM> I didn't have enough of them.
[15:41] * CreativeEmbassy has left #avelon
[15:41] <AvelonPM> If you have an idea, go with it. Make the story.
[15:41] <AvelonPM> But have a plan.
[15:41] <AvelonPM> A plan is a big part.
[15:42] <AvelonPM> Plus, character interaction is huge for me, if you couldn't
tell.
[15:42] <wisdomwarrior> how do you keep everything straight?
[15:42] <AvelonPM> notes, memory.
[15:42] <AvelonPM> Organization.
[15:42] <AvelonPM> Also, get some help.
[15:42] <AvelonPM> Another thing that I learned.
[15:42] <AvelonPM> Smile

[15:43] <JustLurking> any followup?
[15:43] <wisdomwarrior> no, thank you
[15:43] * JustLurking sets mode: -v wisdomwarrior
[15:43] <JustLurking> alright
[15:43] <JustLurking> and the suggestion was made that perhaps you could put
back up the sites so that those who missed parts can go and take a look
[15:44] <AvelonPM> Oh.. now you tell me.
[15:44] <JustLurking> it was just made Razz

[15:44] <AvelonPM> Smile

[15:44] <AvelonPM> Well, let's put it this way, I wouldn't look for it.
[15:45] <AvelonPM> It's a money thing.
[15:46] <JustLurking> ahhh
[15:46] <JustLurking> understood Smile

[15:46] <JustLurking> any last words to us from the PM?
[15:47] <AvelonPM> Ohhh. wow...
[15:47] <AvelonPM> Ummm... like I said.. thanks for playing. I know that gets
said a lot, but really wasn't expecting this sort of turn out.
[15:47] <AvelonPM> You guys definitely made everything fun and interesting for
me as well.
[15:47] <AvelonPM> I enjoyed talking to all of you a lot.
[15:48] <AvelonPM> I'm still waiting for the Avelon section at UF though.
[15:48] <JustLurking> well, I think I speak for everyone when I say we enjoyed
the game and appreciate all the hard work you put into it
[15:48] <AvelonPM> Well thank you.
[15:48] <AvelonPM> Much apprecitated.
[15:49] <JustLurking> so, if there are no more questions...
[15:49] <AvelonPM> un-mod... woohoo
[15:49] * JustLurking sets mode: -m
[15:49] <JustLurking> bingo
[15:49] <Russell> hip hip.....
[15:49] <AvelonPM> hehe
[15:50] <JoeOE18> hooray!
[15:50] <Russell> lol
[15:50] <AvelonPM> I hope that you guys had fun playing it.
[15:50] <Lora> AvelonPM
[15:50] <Kythen> definitely
[15:50] <AvelonPM> Yes, lora?
[15:50] <JoeOE18> certainly
[15:50] <Lora> First I wanted to say that the game was very enjoyable!
[15:50] <delusional696> sure did. i just wish ihaden't missed so much
[15:50] <AvelonPM> Thank you.
[15:51] <Lora> I just wanted to know, how hard was it (since you didn't have any
help) to stay with what each character had said to us?
[15:51] <Lora> Did you just take lots of notes?
[15:52] <AvelonPM> It was kinda tough. No, I didn't take a lot of written down
notes.. but there were a lot of mental notes made.
[15:52] <DarkLordPBH> AvelonPM: if you still have site files I can offer
sub-domain w/ftp access
[15:52] <AvelonPM> I was playing something like 4 or 5 characters?
[15:52] <AvelonPM> ooo... that would be nice.
[15:52] <Kythen> btw speaking of characters... i think step wants you to bring
back Tracy Wink

[15:52] <AvelonPM> hehe
[15:52] <Lora> yeah, I bet it was a lot of work to do...but thanks for making it
rather detailed!!!
[15:53] * AvelonPM is now known as TracyBunn
[15:53] <Kythen> lol
[15:53] <KSG> Hehe.
[15:53] * TracyBunn is now known as AvelonPM
[15:53] <step> wooo!
[15:53] * step <<3 Tracy
[15:53] <AvelonPM> Lora: you're welcome.
[15:53] <AvelonPM> The one thing that I tried NOT to do was make it boring.
[15:53] <DarkLordPBH> email darklordSPLATclanpbh.com for details
[15:53] <Kythen> mission accomplished Smile

[15:54] <step> it definitely wasn't boring!
[15:54] <KSG> Not at all.
[15:54] <Lora> AvelonPM: and thanks for all the in-game chats...I loved that
detail...I'm not too good at puzzles but I loved getting to know the
characters!!!
[15:54] <AvelonPM> Yeah, that was a big part as well. I wanted a lot of
character interaction.
[15:54] <AvelonPM> Especially with Derk and Alison.
[15:54] <AvelonPM> The more you get to know someone the more you feel for them.
[15:55] <Lora> Well, I'm so glad that you decided to do it that way.
[15:55] <KSG> I thought it was cool that Derk wanted to talk about stuff besides
just the game.
[15:55] <Russell> Laughing

[15:55] <Kythen> agreed, for me the personal aspect was the best part
[15:55] <chippy> 2nded
[15:55] <Kythen> the characters were friends
[15:55] <Russell> 3rded
[15:56] <AvelonPM> Well, he was a normal person... they all were.
[15:56] <Kythen> not just whiny sots or emo girls like PPC
[15:56] <AvelonPM> Sure they had their problems...
[15:56] <step> lol
[15:56] <AvelonPM> I tried to make each one different.
[15:56] <step> you did a great job it
[15:56] <AvelonPM> Tracy was a little on the flirty side.
[15:56] <Russell> lol kythen do i sense frustration!
[15:56] <AvelonPM> Alison was laid back.
[15:56] <chippy> did alisons husband know what she was up to?
[15:56] <AvelonPM> Derk was... Derk.
[15:57] <Russell> i thought alison was quite flirty!
[15:57] <AvelonPM> chippy: yes.
[15:57] <AvelonPM> Only with you Russell. Smile

[15:57] <Russell> lol
[15:57] * Poke|SLEEP has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
[15:57] <Kythen> tracy had step and the rest of us to chase after
[15:57] <chippy> yeah, did she become married to stop us hitting on you Wink

[15:57] <KSG> Alison and Tracy talking to eachother were funny, too.
[15:57] * Poke has joined #avelon
[15:57] <Russell> when she took me to the other room to explain the puzzle it
got a little steamy lol
[15:57] <AvelonPM> hehe
[15:57] <chippy> lol
[15:58] <chippy> one-on-one action
[15:58] <KSG> Haha.
[15:58] <AvelonPM> "Okay you sexy thing... now do this.."
[15:58] <Russell> what did you think when we couldnt get the same GAS as you on
that one?
[15:58] <AvelonPM> "Oh crap!"
[15:58] <chippy> heh. yeah alison gave up on poor chippy Sad

[15:58] <Russell> lol
[15:58] <Kythen> i think i must have just confused the heck out of poor alison
with all my wierd questions and suggestions
[15:59] <AvelonPM> I was kinda let down by that. I wanted it to work.
[15:59] <Russell> it did come over as OOG but it was needed
[15:59] <wisdomwarrior> i got the website as the first result
[15:59] <wisdomwarrior> i just didnt know what to do with it lol
[15:59] <Russell> yeah it must have been uk google
[15:59] <AvelonPM> My first thought was "something must be wrong".
[15:59] <Russell> so chippy another arg over!
[15:59] <AvelonPM> You didn't have it in 4 hours or less.
[16:00] <AvelonPM> That's when I checked up on you.
[16:00] <Lora> Now what ARG am I gonna play?!? lol
[16:00] <chippy> yep russell Smile

[16:00] <Russell> we must stop meeting like this lol
[16:00] <Kythen> what was your inspiration for the hobo symbol puzzle?
[16:00] <chippy> heist will soon finish
[16:00] <Kythen> it was definitely original Smile

[16:00] <Russell> im already playing another three
[16:00] <chippy> cityofdomes should kick off soon
[16:00] <step> very - i never knew about them Smile

[16:00] <KSG> Yeah, the hobo thing was cool.
[16:00] <Russell> simpsons had the hobo symbols! lol
[16:01] <delusional696> one question: what was with the wierd hours you would
come on at?
[16:01] <KSG> Smile

[16:01] <AvelonPM> Kythen: I've seen some other puzzles with symbols attatched
to them. I that it was a good idea.
[16:01] <KSG> They were disturbingly close to my weird hours.
[16:01] <chippy> i liked the weird hours
[16:01] <Lora> me too chippy!
[16:01] <AvelonPM> delusional: I work nights.
[16:01] <Russell> it was good for ukers
[16:01] <AvelonPM> 4pm - 11pm CDT
[16:01] <delusional696> i liked tthe hobo puzzel. i learned something new:)
[16:01] <AvelonPM> But on my days off I made up for it.
[16:02] <KSG> Smile

[16:02] <KSG> I assume this is a day off?
[16:02] <AvelonPM> yep
[16:02] <Russell> lol
[16:02] <Kythen> lucky
[16:02] <chippy> yeah, i spent a good hour browsing all the other signs (cant
see any outside my house though)
[16:02] <step> i can't believe you were working while you did all this too
[16:02] <KSG> I spent a good 15 minutes glancing over the signs....
[16:02] <step> i'm just amazed
[16:03] <AvelonPM> step: well I was... sleep will be my number one thing later.
[16:03] * Kythen thanks his elder relatives for the stories and The Stone for
the google searching skills Smile

[16:03] <Kythen> heh, i think that'll go for most of us AvelonPM
[16:03] <AvelonPM> It's going to be wierd not coming in here as a character ever
again.
[16:03] <AvelonPM> hehe
[16:03] <Russell> Sad

[16:03] <Kythen> i don't think any of us would mind if alison or derk appeared
once in a while
[16:03] <AvelonPM> I just thought of that after the first PM chat.
[16:04] * KSG is going to miss Alison's mad ninja skills *
[16:04] <AvelonPM> I was like.. man, it's really over.
[16:04] <AvelonPM> It all happend kinda fast for me.
[16:04] <step> hang out as Alison or Tracy, we have someone that is still
waiting to meet you
[16:04] <Kythen> even if it's just for everyday chit-chat
[16:04] <Russell> if hollywood ever taught me anything its that theres always a
trilogy! lol
[16:04] <step> that would be Bux Very Happy

[16:04] <wisdomwarrior> LOL
[16:04] <Kythen> lol, too true russell
[16:04] <JustLurking> Prof didn't make it, did he?
[16:04] <Kythen> nope, he had to work
[16:04] <KSG> Prof didn't think he would.
[16:04] <Kythen> he sends his regards btw
[16:04] <delusional696> i gotta say it's weird that this is over now, even
though i knew they weren't real pepole, you kinda forget when having convos
with them
[16:04] <AvelonPM> I don't think Prof liked me anyway... Smile

[16:05] <wisdomwarrior> you want him to meet Bux step?
[16:05] <KSG> He'll have to read the logs.
[16:05] <wisdomwarrior> lol
[16:05] <KSG> Haha.
[16:05] <Russell> bux??
[16:05] <Kythen> we need to make some Team Tollin t-shirts or something
[16:05] <KSG> ...Bux.
[16:05] <step> wisdom, i was joking

[16:05] <AvelonPM> Yes...

[16:06] <Russell> so whos the person on the phone?
[16:06] <Kythen> i'd get one Smile

[16:06] <AvelonPM> phone?
[16:06] <Kythen> on the avelontech site
[16:06] <KSG> Template?
[16:06] <AvelonPM> Oh... it came with Yahoo!
[16:06] <AvelonPM> yeah.
[16:06] <Russell> ahhh
[16:07] <AvelonPM> Yahoo! sitebuilder is nice for those who don't know jack
about HTML
[16:07] <AvelonPM> Like me.
[16:07] <AvelonPM> But I'm learning.
[16:07] <Kythen> good plan
[16:07] <AvelonPM> I do want a FLASH somewhere.
[16:07] <Kythen> it's the meaning of life after all Smile

[16:07] <AvelonPM> hehe
[16:08] <KSG> Stupid Flash costs too much....
[16:08] <AvelonPM> yeah, but they are neat.
[16:08] <KSG> Yeah.
[16:08] <AvelonPM> Even if it's just to learn it.
[16:08] <AvelonPM> I have a Flash program, but the help files are anything but.
[16:08] <Kythen> if you are going with a short ARG a trial version might be
enough
[16:08] <AvelonPM> Well, the next one will be looong.
[16:09] <Russell> oooh!
[16:09] <AvelonPM> probably a good 3 months.
[16:09] <Kythen> sweet Smile

[16:09] <KSG> Awesome!
[16:09] <Kythen> any idea of how soon that will be?
[16:09] <chippy> *chuckles*
[16:09] <Russell> lol let him sleep!
[16:09] <AvelonPM> And none of this 8 month start-up poop that I've been seeing
lately.
[16:09] <AvelonPM> Kythen... not for awhile yet.
[16:10] <delusional696> be sure to keep or emails and let us know:)
[16:10] <KSG> Yeah...people shouldn't start ARGs until they've actually got them
ready.
[16:10] <AvelonPM> noted
[16:10] <Russell> imploding grassroots bad
[16:10] <AvelonPM> Smile

[16:10] <Kythen> yeah, feel free to use my email IG or OOG
[16:10] <AvelonPM> I have them all in my notes on Word.
[16:10] <Russell> all my contacts are on UF
[16:10] <Kythen> i'd be happy to lend a techical hand with stuff if you want
[16:11] <AvelonPM> Well, my last "PM NEEDED" post drew nothing.
[16:11] <KSG> You can send me an email for the next game, too.
[16:11] <AvelonPM> 85 looks.. no responces.
[16:11] <Russell> where?
[16:11] <AvelonPM> UF
[16:11] * KSG doesn't really read the boards
[16:11] <AvelonPM> I took it off once the game started though.
[16:11] <Russell> i only noticed that board last week lol
[16:11] <AvelonPM> hehe
[16:11] <Russell> ive been on uf for months and months now! lol
[16:12] <Lora> AvelonPM: I'll help with the next one, if you need it!
[16:12] <Lora> I will give you my e-mail addy if you want it
[16:12] <KSG> I'll help if I can.
[16:12] <AvelonPM> Oh, it's going to be fun and creepy. I'm sure you'll have fun
with it.
[16:12] <KSG> Ooh, creepy!
[16:12] <KSG> Yay!
[16:12] <Lora> ooooo...creepy!!!
[16:12] <AvelonPM> Not Ghost creepy though.
[16:13] <Lora> woo hoo!!!
[16:13] <Russell> right i have the last half hour of the season finale of lost
to watch talk in a bit
[16:13] <AvelonPM> Okay.
[16:13] <Lora> Oh...I have an idea!!!
[16:13] <Kythen> score a half spec point for KSG Smile

[16:13] <KSG> Creepy doesn't HAVE to involve ghosts....
[16:13] <KSG> *lol*
[16:13] <AvelonPM> I know...
[16:13] <Lora> Me and my mom share a computer so, one of us will always be on!!!
That way you could always have a PM!!!
[16:13] <KSG> So the "yay" still applies. Smile

[16:13] <Lora> Just a thought though!
[16:13] <JustLurking> lol
[16:13] <Kythen> tag team PMs Smile

[16:14] <AvelonPM> Here... I'll give you a little glimpse into the chat.
[16:14] <AvelonPM> Three lines.
[16:14] <AvelonPM> "So, what's your name?"
[16:14] <AvelonPM> "Why?" (player response)
[16:14] <AvelonPM> "Because, I want to know who I'm looking at."
[16:14] <KSG> Yup, creepy.
[16:14] <Lora> woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sounds like awesome fun!!!
[16:14] <Kythen> ooo... i've always wanted to poke Big Brother in the eye
[16:14] <delusional696> ya thats creppy
[16:15] <KSG> *lol@Kythen*
[16:15] <Lora> I wanna be a PM for that one!!!
[16:16] <AvelonPM> It'll be a lot bigger then this one was. But it will take me
awhile to get it going.
[16:16] <delusional696> we can't all be pm's. someone has to play the game!
[16:16] <AvelonPM> But once I do, I'll post another PM NEEDED.
[16:16] <Lora> ok!!! at uf?
[16:16] * KSG is up for either *
[16:16] <AvelonPM> yeah.
[16:16] <AvelonPM> Let's just say that I'm probably going to be putting about
$4,000 into it.
[16:17] <Kythen> wow...
[16:17] <KSG> Note to self: start reading UF.
[16:17] <Lora> cool!!!
[16:17] <KSG> o.O
[16:17] <Lora> wow!
[16:17] <delusional696> avelonpm: so whatever happened to that RL meeting?
[16:17] * chippy volunteers for treasurer
[16:17] <KSG> Haha
[16:17] <Kythen> lol@chippy
[16:17] <Lora> lol chippy
[16:17] <AvelonPM> Real Life meeting? Oh, the representative.
[16:17] <chippy> thats a good point though - how much did it cost crusty?
[16:17] <AvelonPM> That fell through.
[16:17] <KSG> Yeah, um...let's pretend that me going to college is your next
ARG....
[16:18] <Lora> AvelonPM: When do you think that the new one will launch? Around
what month/day?
[16:18] <chippy> well, it worked for Buffy... ksg
[16:18] <AvelonPM> Site: $40/month. Enjoyment: Priceless.
[16:18] <Kythen> Smile

[16:18] <delusional696> do we get to do your homework KSG?
[16:18] <KSG> Hehe.
[16:18] <chippy> *chuckles*
[16:18] <AvelonPM> DJ bribe: Undisclosed.
[16:18] <KSG> Yes, you definitely get to do my homework. I won't even charge you!
[16:18] <Kythen> lol
[16:19] <Lora> lol KSG!!
[16:19] <Kythen> i'd help with the hw, but it depends entirely on your major
[16:19] <AvelonPM> What does an A get us?
[16:19] <KSG> Philosophy....
[16:19] <KSG> Um...you win the game?
[16:19] <AvelonPM> Darn...
[16:19] <AvelonPM> Well, you're getting F's.
[16:19] <chippy> (im researching Sorites paradox atm, KSG )
[16:19] <delusional696> i want the degree!
[16:20] <Kythen> i can help you with symbolic logic, but that's about it
[16:20] <KSG> (I'm...taking a year or too off to save up right now.)
[16:20] <KSG> You can have a photocopy of the degree.
[16:20] <AvelonPM> hehe
[16:20] <KSG> I think I've stolen the PM's spotlight, though.
[16:20] <delusional696> ok... i gusse
[16:20] <AvelonPM> That'll probably work.
[16:20] <KSG> Back to your awesome creepy future plans.
[16:20] <AvelonPM> nope..
[16:20] <AvelonPM> the spotlight is off.
[16:21] <AvelonPM> I don't like spotlights anyway... to impersonal.
[16:21] <KSG> Fair enough.
[16:21] <KSG> In that case, I'm announcing a pregame.
[16:21] <AvelonPM> OOooo
[16:21] <AvelonPM> I need one to join.
[16:21] <KSG> In which you have to help KSG find the money to move across the
state. Smile

[16:22] <KSG> Yes, Domes! Team Tollin totally needs to take over Domes!
[16:22] <Kythen> lol
[16:22] <JoeOE18> Avelon: not really most of the posts int he forum are pointless

needed.

CrustyBottom hello
CrustyBottom What are people still doing in here?
CrustyBottom Smile

ProfMoriarty Well, supposedly Team Tollin was planning to stick together, but I guess that didn't fall through
ProfMoriarty =(
CrustyBottom hehe, well, it's kinda hard to keep people together.
CrustyBottom Especially when we all have different things that we like.
CrustyBottom But I will say this. Team Tollin should plan on getting back together within the next 6 months or so.
