Welcome Mountain Girl, thanks for sharing.

(Hopefully this particular addiction does not lead to jails, institutions, or death)

If I had the time (and the know-how) to go through all of the relevant threads and pull together all of the pertinent info into one place....I would. All of the links, books, letters from Islington & Toby, dates, etc. might make more sense if they were all together. However, I have neither the time nor the computer knowledge.

Any computer savvy Triskabibliophobes out there with spare time on their hands?

Will check in again before bedtime....I am off to see the Corpse Bride. Yay!

Carry on...

I'm not sure what the standard operating procedure is for an ARG, but based on what puzzle-type games I've played, this one doesn't seem to follow the formula.

I think that, at least for now, the emphasis is not on piecing together hints and clues from different sources so much as just waiting and absorbing what's being presented to us. It seems more like a lecture on religion and morality than a game, to me.

My opinion? It's not a game at all, in the traditional sense; more like an interactive bible, for lack of a better term. But I'm a bit of an ARG newbie, so I don't know. It just seems like we should do less figuring and more learning.

I am computer savvy with tons of free time.. this will finally give my site a purpose. i'll put up a link soon. going through now.

story time aggaaiinn

Ok so this time, I was sitting in the chapel at my school (I am a day student at a really old boarding school) And I'm not reading life of pi this time, I'm looking at the stained glass windows while listening to my one friend play the piano. Anyway I'm reading the window and it says (now im kinda paraphrasing cuz I didnt have a pencil to write it down) "In honor of Mary Dixon, daughter of George Dixon, who graduated this school in 1876 (guessing on date) with distiguished honors. She Passed on in 1882 at the age of 19"

DIXON!

ok maybe a coincidence, but no coincidences right? I dunno it was kinda freaky. Especially since the big ghost story at my school is that Mary Dixon haunts the chapel at night.[/b]

shylilembrace,
this would be AWESOME. there was one at first but it was abandoned very early on.

it would be nice to be able to send new comers to it and just tell them to read that instead of turning them away with a 40 page thread here and what three or four updates at LL.

Another triskaholic (at least while I'm at work), TheJackalope is reporting for duty.

I'm another tag along from LazyLaces, so I'm happy to meet other people with the same addiction.

Edit - And by the way Shylilembrace, being a Video Game Programmer is not all it's cracked up to be. Trust me.

[Incog Neato]

Hey there Jackalope!

Glad to see you here. I think that several of us 'Lazylacers' have gravitated this way during this book chase.

I think that it is about time that we figure out who is fully engaged in this....so that we know what our resources are. The only 2 that I have been in contact with thus far are Shylilembrace and Mountain Girl.

In fact, Shylilembrace.....that might be something to add to your site. Known Active 'Players' and (if they approve) their email addresses.

Islington has made it pretty clear that we need to work together on this.

Just a thought.

Again, glad to see ya Jack!

[TheJackalope]

Thanks Ingoc Neato. I'm involved as best I can be, at least during the week when I'm at work. The weekend is a different story. I do try to catch up on what I miss on Mondays though.

Admittedly, I'm not much of a good arg'er (I made up a word ). But I do bring some technical knowledge to the table. I can read and understand BASIC and other computer languages. I only mention BASIC outright because it has been used in some of the pages of Triskabiblios. Plus, and my wife will back me up on this, my train of thought goes in some odd directions, I believe that will be helpful here.

This is starting to sound like a resume. I think I'll stop now.

Don't get me wrong. It's a great gig if you can get it. It just takes a toll on a person. When you get close to Gold, and you're working 7 days a week, 21 hour days, it get's a little exhausting. It drives lesser people insane, they are the lucky ones.

Orkid posted to her journal again.

[Withe Bartbi]

Hey everyone, just had a long (and enlightening) conversation with Orkid. Here's triska-related excerpts from our convo, with Orkid's blessing: In advance, this is a huge post, so bear with me.

On "News From Nowhere"

[Greyling]

Some many interesting things to wonder about. The one that first stuck in my mind (probably because I've been wondering about it for a while) was that Orkid herself mentioned her (lacking?) scribe page. Both her and Toby (at least I think I saw somewhere, possibly on Graeme's site, that he signed himself as scribe) have referred to themselves as scribes, but what happened to their scribe pages? Or maybe I've missed a post somewhere among the many, many, many pages here and on lazy laces

[kylegumby]

I'm going to risk hypocrisy and go out on a limb, here. I've been thinking a lot recently about this "Book Zero" thing, and it's made me wonder - I remember someone (not sure who, off the top of my head) mentioning that the pages of Islington's notebook look a lot like the receipt that Graeme received at the beginning of all this. And what was with that receipt? What looks (to me) like a USB drive.

Maybe that's what we should be looking for?

That's all. A bit of a stretch, I guess, and it's not like actively looking for the notebook will do any good until Islington is ready for it to. But what are ideas if you can't bounce them off other people?


I'm going to shut up for a while, now. I feel like I'm just cluttering things up more than they already are - and god knows we don't need any help in that department.
