Ok, just had a conversation with Lisa.

Cliffnotes first, then in full.

1. Lisa had asked the questions via AIM to another user, unfortunately they weren't really playing the game so they never ereally got passed on. I got them from him though.



Quote:
1.What happened when the time ran out? I was told to count days yet nothing happened

2.Why is Anne still here? Jin was here alot shorter than she has been, I mean LONG, and she was taken last out of those I know.What is so special about Anne

3.Time is growing old, we need help, have you had any contact with anyone on the outside to do with the Doctor?

4.Do you have any ideas on what to do next


2. I told her about Jordan Davis (the name meant nothing to her) and his website. How he'd bought the book and found the file, and about the symbol. I described it to her (presumerably I'm the guy she references in misery's post) She seems to recognise it, it's been appearing around the place.

3. Jin's gone. Somebody else has her room.

4. The most important. In light ofd the newspaper article I started talking to her about 'Anne Mooney' Lisa said she'd seen this name in a letter written from Anne to a Tom Grehan. However there she'd been calling herself 'Anne parson.' This was one of the main reasons for Lisa's suspicion. Going with the judgement of myself and others in the chat I decided to let Lisa know exactly what we knew about this Anne Mooney including the fact that she's a 40 years dead serial axe murderer.

After that, well. Read on...

riddlemask: I want to know if you have come into contact with anyone on the outside who knew about us and Dr.Munchen

brat_sampson: yes, we have
brat_sampson: via a website

riddlemask: Who?

brat_sampson: a man called Jordan
brat_sampson: he claims to have been investigating the papers

riddlemask: What has he said?
riddlemask: Does he know how to free us?
riddlemask: of Munchen?

brat_sampson: I am not sure
brat_sampson: he knows of Munchen, that much is certain but as to how much more...

riddlemask: The papers of Munchen?

brat_sampson: yes
brat_sampson: he says he was interested in munchen and very pleased to find one of his books at an auction

riddlemask: Jin is definitely gone
riddlemask: Somebody is now occupying her room

brat_sampson: he purchased it and inside found a paper, page 3 of 92 with some simbols and diagrams on it
brat_sampson: Is this Lisa?

riddlemask: What type of symbol?
riddlemask: It can be said that this is through Lisa's line

brat_sampson: A set of three parallel lines, the middle longer, the side ones shorter and of equal length, with another line crossing at right angles through the center of all three
brat_sampson: But who is this? I don't want to be giving too much information to somebody who I cannot trust

riddlemask: The ones which have been appearing
riddlemask: That is, not, possible
riddlemask: This is Lisa

brat_sampson: Jordan had a countdown on the website to a 'revolution'
brat_sampson: but at the end nothing really happened
brat_sampson: we got into the site, saw the file a bit more clearly but little else
brat_sampson: he told us about himself and gave us his contact address
brat_sampson: since then he has updated since, talking about an 'anne mooney'
brat_sampson: could this be the same anne you know?

riddlemask: Anne Mooney
riddlemask: Thats what I saw on the letter

brat_sampson: letter?

riddlemask: I saw a letter in her room
riddlemask: She wrote it to a Tom Grehan
riddlemask: How I do not know but it was titled Anne Mooney

brat_sampson: what doyou know about anne's life before she was taken?

riddlemask: Nothing
riddlemask: She never spoke of it
riddlemask: She never answers any questions on it except to say that her second name was Parson

brat_sampson: Parson? But the letter said Mooney?
brat_sampson: Strange...

riddlemask: I know
riddlemask: That is why I am suspicios

brat_sampson: We are unaware as to why anne is still there
brat_sampson: have you asked her about this Tom?

riddlemask: No
riddlemask: I am afraid

brat_sampson: Ok, you may well have a good reason to be afraid

riddlemask: Why?

brat_sampson: Jordan posted an, uh, intersting story from a newspaper regarding an Anne mooney when we told him about what we knew

riddlemask: What?
riddlemask: What did it say?

brat_sampson: There's no easy way to say this
brat_sampson: 1. She died 40 years ago

riddlemask: This is not possible

brat_sampson: she crashed her car into a tree while escaping from police

I am confused again. How is it possible that Lisa Inconclusive signs out your conversation with riddlemask while you are speaking to riddlemask? Can one have more than one nick on AIM for one "account"?
Or does that mean, that Anne signed off your talk because she was the only one who made use of the nick Lisa Inconclusive till now.
Hopefully Lisa is keeping well, since she was the one who made usw of the transmitter most of the time. Otherwise we may loose contact?!

I transfered the convos to the wiki, so there is a page called Conversations now showing all of the conversations. It's easier to follow up that way.

To clear up.

The screen name is Riddlemask. The name she uses on the messenger is Lisa Inconclusive..

I'm not sure why exactly but there's nothing meaningful about it.

Here's another idea....

They're all in a state of purgery (sp?), having to toil away until they make up for their 'sins'. This would mean Anne has not yet repented 'enough' for her sins, as hers are much too serious.

As Jin as 'confused' or 'shared' Anne's memories, it's possible Jin's only sin was that of dillusion or obsession (we won't know now, she's gone). Her 'sin' wasn't as serious, so she paid it off quicker.

This doesn't explain why Lisa is still in the server. Perhaps there's something she's not telling us... or her use of the transmittor is extending her stay.

-------------------

In other news, I really hope Lisa is okay. I don't know if that transmittor is portable, but if Anne did attack her, we can only hope she was able to defend herself.

In the idea of Anne being a spy, that's also possible. However, Anne more than likely knows that we know now. She can use the transmittor, and can therefore understand what Lisa was writing, and what was being said to her.

Unless we're really lucky.

Maybe my famous grammar-incompetence again but what does this say to you? The grammar is so messed up I could read anything into this. Should we?

I read it as...

Why is Anne still here in the server? Jin was here for a shorter amount of time, I mean Anne's been here a LONG time, and Jin's taking for the second time is the most recent out of those people I know of here. What is so special about Anne?


Of course, a lot of that is conjecture.. and it could mean..

Why is Anne still here? Jin was here, and was shorter than Anne, but Anne grew, I mean.. grew LONG. And Anne was taken out last by 'those' I know. What is so special about Anne?

Ok, I'm being silly, but logically it proves the point Zwolle made. Razz

I believe we wait


This is another mail from Jordan that just arrived. He concentrated on answering the four questions of Lisa, my own questions (and the mail I have sent before my last one - concerning another way of getting in contact with Jordan) were totally ignored. Why is that? Are we loosing sight of something?

One thing for example is: Jordan told us the menace-media.com site is set up for one sole purpose: "to investigate the lost files of late Dr. Munchen". Is late referring to the last days of Dr. Munchen or what does Jordan want to tell us with this?

Another one is: Jordan doesn't know Lisa so they cannot be the Lovers as we thought f them because of their local vicinity.

Third one: Lisa was the only one who didn't remember here name at first. Here name was printed in binary numbers on her clothes. Do the others have those numbers too? Why did they know their names without having translated their numbers to their names.

Late: It is used to say somebody is dead... But we also know Jordan does not believe he (dr. Munchen) is dead. Indeed a strange statement.

But so is
Jordan wrote:
Lisa,I,don't, no
Thats a collection of words not a statement. At least not a statement in the sentence sence of the words Wink . .. AGAIN grammar(ish) stuff thats putting what is said in a new perspective.

Jordan wrote:
I believe we wait
. Grammar-wise it says: I think we are waiting.
not: I believe something has happened. We wait for the results.

But he did state: I do believe that something has begun.
In other words.We know as much as he does except for whats in the book.

The line I Am only human reminds me of. Dracula(the movie)
D.: "I don't drink..................wine."

[EDIT] Just had a epiphany (lightning striking the top of my brain)
Could it be Jordan believes dr. Munchen is dead now?
First taking, he is dead to..well the 'normal world'.
second taking, now he's dead to Jordan too?
Would explain the switch in his statements.

i agree-- i think this might be a "dead" slash "sort of dead" thing.. we've had anne mooney, dr. munchen.. the dates they were all "taken" and some
people use that term when someone dies.. especially religious people
"they were taken from us" ..i don't know where that leads us but i'm going to review everything so far with this perspective in mind--

"Lisa, I, don't, no"

He knows someone else.

The comma use suggests he's either hiding something, or typing as you'd speak, and therefore, hiding something.

He probably knows either Anne, Jin, Carl or someone else there.

We need to figure out who and grill him.

"I would not know"

Ok, you would not know, But.... give us a full answer for once. When someone says 'I would not know' it's almost always followed by a 'but'. Otherwise, why not just say 'I dunno'.

"I believe we wait"

Love the complete lack of punctuation. He keeps pulling us back to himself, rather than giving us info. "I Am Only Human"... again, he speaks about himself ALOT.

That would be the only way to get anything out of him. As PatRol pointed out he "totally ignored" other questions.

Now what do we have he wants? As we have shared all our info with him so far and thats all we have... strictly speaking... we have no leverage what so ever.

We could 'suggest' we have some amazing info we would like to trade but then... what would it get us? Lies in return? I don't see how we could do this without resorting to 'black ops'.

[edit] Talking Black Ops. Seems he got hit or the revolution has started. The media-menace site has been down for hours now.

Yes, me too. Perhaps Jordan is updating the site as he had promised within one of his last mails. I hope that we will get some good news from him.

EDIT: The site is back now and nothing obviously has changed?!
