good catch incog. so does that make Yann a plant or is Islington just twisting the game around us (the players)?

edit: the cover of Life of Pi being on the "Read Me" page i first took it as like a read me file, but Islington want us to read the book, thank god we have someone here who has read it Smile

I did think that the references to games, make the game real etc was commenting on Shy's desire to write videogames.


Ok first off i don't want to neccesarily WRITE video games so much as PROGRAM video games, and second off the rest of the convo had things to do with games and the morals etc. learned from them influencing our actions and our realities..

So keep on playing those mind games together
Doing the ritual dance in the sun
Millions of mind guerrillas
Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel
Keep on playing those mind games forever
Raising the spirit of peace and love
-John Lennon

Waw, I just started all this and it is all VERY interesting. Please tell me if I'm wrong, but I'd like to wrap this all up:

There are now 11 scribes, but there will be 13 in the end, each one of them leading to a book. I will have to read through the threads again to see how far you guys already are on each of them. It'll take me some time... Confused It seems Islington adjusts the pages to what happens in realtime, so I'll try to stay on it from now on!
The last scribe was added today and shows the cover of The Life of Pi. I read this very interesting book, so if any of you have any questions...

Can't wait to read it all and to see what you all found out. Talk to you all later...

Also 1984 (from the original Triskabiblios site) and News From Nowhere (alluded to in a letter to me).

There are probably others as well....but I am too tired to look right now....will sleep on it and look at things afresh in the morning.

I bid you goodnight.....

I'm very glad the game is back on the road. Can't believe that just a week ago we were saying it was blowing up. Looks like some good planning to me. (but hey, what do I know!)

Anyway, two more things I noticed:
- If you go to the Dixon scribe page, you'll notice that the page titel is:

"OOGINOOGINOOGINOOGIN"

Me being a cloggy immediately picked up that this means:

"EYETOEYETOEYETOEYETO" in Dutch (eye to eye).

Which seems weird, seeing as the page holds a picture of the Medusa. And that's one lady you don't want to be eye to eye with. (you turn to stone)

So is Dixon Dutch?

- Also received a text message from a +420 number. I think that's UK right? Didn't recognize the number...

Never mind, it's Czech. I think I vaguely remember who's it is now.. Rugby tour to Prague. I'll shut up now.

Search on!
