Well, the AIM chat didn't work out the way I would have liked it to. For some reason, I could invite Medio, but I was unable to get Myeerah and Chuck into the room. So, I have set up an IRC chatroom for the next time we see Chuck. Just join #EKO. If you need help figuring out how to get into IRC, let me know.


Well, Meerah came in to unfiction looking for you. I guess you didn't make the room clear enough...
IRC didn't work out either. Apparently, Chuck can't use the Java client until he gets broadband later in the week. Confused

 		Due to issues with my grades, I'm unable to use my computer during the week (I'm writing this from a friend's computer! Woo, loopholes!) so I can't play for a little while. Pass my regrets to Chuck and tell him he'll probably need another man on the inside if he can get one. Come to think of it, if Truman's "Friend" is working for EKO, my position is likely compromised, we need a new agent anyways...

Quote:
[20:49] Chuckie: Hey there.
[20:50] teh_lisa: hey!
[20:50] Chuckie: So yeah...
[20:50] *** Crispy` has joined #EKO.
[20:50] *** Crispy` has left #EKO.
[20:50] *** Cortana has joined #EKO.
[20:50] Chuckie: Huh...
[20:50] Chuckie: Cortana?
[20:51] Cortana: Yes?
[20:51] Chuckie: That reminds me of something.
[20:51] Chuckie: A game, right?
[20:51] Cortana: that time you roundhouse kicked a pregnant woman?
[20:51] Chuckie: ..yeah?
[20:51] Chuckie: Anyway...
[20:52] Chuckie: So I know i've talked to Lisa before.
[20:52] teh_lisa: i invited cortana
[20:52] teh_lisa: hope thats ok chuck
[20:52] Chuckie: Ah, I see.
[20:52] Chuckie: That's cool.
[20:52] Chuckie: Anyway, so, the situation now is not very good.
[20:52] Cortana: you're Chuck Norris, you can fix anything.
[20:52] * teh_lisa nods solemnly
[20:53] Chuckie: Heh...
[20:53] Chuckie: But seriously.
[20:53] Chuckie: John's "friend" killed him, and now he's basically gone mental.
[20:53] Chuckie: Which is bad for us.
[20:53] teh_lisa: he told me he put john's head on his mantle
[20:53] Chuckie: Sounds true,
[20:54] Chuckie: Well, he's nearing Earth.
[20:54] teh_lisa: nearing earth?
[20:54] Chuckie: I'll try and get him, but see...
[20:54] Chuckie: Yeah. He's not really on Earth,
[20:54] teh_lisa: oh
[20:54] Chuckie: and where he's landing...
[20:55] Chuckie: He's landing in Antarctica.
[20:55] teh_lisa: yikes
[20:55] Chuckie: Brilliant, eh?
[20:55] teh_lisa: yeah i'd say
[20:55] Chuckie: But, he won't die out there.
[20:55] Cortana: except for the petrifying cold.
[20:55] Cortana: and the rabid penguins.
[20:55] Cortana: never underestimate the rabid penguins.
[20:55] Chuckie: He actually has an EKO installation set up already there.
[20:56] Cortana: guarded by rabid penguins?
[20:56] Chuckie: Oh, well, yeah, the basic Magna Gnomes of the Arctic.
[20:56] Chuckie: Hold on a sec.
[20:56] Chuckie: BRB
[20:57] Chuckie: Back.
[20:57] Chuckie: Okay, then.
[20:57] teh_lisa: ok so if hes landing in antartica how are you going to get him?
[20:57] Chuckie: I said I"d try.
[20:57] teh_lisa: so what do we do from here?
[20:57] Chuckie: But lemme tell ya, Antarctica, even for me...
[20:58] teh_lisa: is there anything i can do to help you?
[20:58] Chuckie: ...is hard to get to.
[20:58] Chuckie: Yes.
[20:58] *** Takeru has joined #EKO.
[20:58] Chuckie: Now, I think we can set up a virus email to send him.
[20:58] Chuckie: Welcome.
[20:58] teh_lisa: to shut down his hub in ant?
[20:58] Chuckie: But we need to uncover an email address before doing so. And yes.
[20:59] teh_lisa: ok then
[20:59] Chuckie: Did you invite Takeru as well?
[20:59] Cortana: can you answer a question, Chuckie
[20:59] Chuckie: Yeah.
[20:59] teh_lisa: i invited a few friends who might be able to help
[20:59] Cortana: what in the name of ned is a Magna Gnome?
[20:59] Chuckie: Okay then, no prob.
[21:00] Chuckie: Okay, a Magna Gnome is a tool that reads your mind, and does whatever you desire, without hesitation.
[21:00] Chuckie: They can be dangerous.
[21:00] Cortana: no, really
[21:00] Chuckie: Answerr your question?
[21:01] Cortana: no, what's a Magna Gnome?
[21:01] Chuckie: That's what it is.
[21:01] teh_lisa: why is it called a gnome?
[21:01] Cortana: and who makes these things?
[21:01] Chuckie: That's what it is.
[21:02] Cortana: so, it's shaped like a garden gnome?
[21:02] Chuckie: Yes.
[21:02] Cortana: I could have one in my back yard!
[21:02] Cortana: sweet
[21:02] Cortana: how can I tell?
[21:02] Chuckie: EKO makes them.
[21:02] Cortana: and what's EKO?
[21:02] Chuckie: Tell what?
[21:02] teh_lisa: oh it is shaped like a garden gnome i see now
[21:02] Chuckie: EarthKannotObselete.
[21:02] teh_lisa: so how do we find this guy's email?
[21:02] Chuckie: Lisa, can you explain, please?
[21:03] Chuckie: (I dunno)
[21:03] Cortana: and what's EarthKannotObsolete all about?
[21:03] teh_lisa: yep one sec
[21:03] Cortana: I mean, that's a real crap name
[21:03] Chuckie: Yeah.
[21:03] teh_lisa: it is a horrible name
[21:04] Chuckie: Hahaha...
[21:04] Cortana: anyhow, why do we care if this guy lands on Antarctica?
[21:04] teh_lisa: because he killed john
[21:04] teh_lisa: eko is a corporation of some sort i guess and they make stuff that's all i got really
[21:05] Chuckie: EKO is disguising themselves as the runner of EARTH, the Hotel...
[21:05] Chuckie: But they are really running it as a TV show.
[21:06] Chuckie: Aliens watch as Earth tears itself apart.
[21:06] Chuckie: John Truman was trying to save Earth, along with me, and supposedly his friend.
[21:07] Chuckie: But his friend turned on him and cut off his head.
[21:07] Cortana: Who is John?
[21:07] teh_lisa: the dead guy
[21:07] teh_lisa: that i talked to the other day
[21:07] teh_lisa: he wasnt dead then though
[21:07] Chuckie: I have been disguising myslef to EKO as a Magna Gnome transfer guy,
[21:08] teh_lisa: so now we have to save earth with you and avenge john's death?
[21:08] Chuckie: I'd give people Magna GNomes.
[21:08] Cortana: Personally, I think the reality show might be fun to watch.
[21:08] Chuckie: Right. And we can start by creating a virus that we can send to his email.
[21:09] teh_lisa: but first we need his email
[21:09] Cortana: Chuck, why don't you just grab a Magna Gnome and wish EKO away?
[21:09] Chuckie: But do not let this get out. If it does and he finds out,
[21:09] Chuckie: It doesen't work that way.
[21:09] Chuckie: He'll close the email.
[21:09] teh_lisa: well if you're working at eko cant you find his email at the company?
[21:09] Cortana: or better, steal a gnome and wish it to happen
[21:09] Cortana: you should do that, Chuck
[21:10] teh_lisa: brb
[21:10] Chuckie: Magna Gnomes are created by EKO, so they make sure they leave "Destroy EKO" out of its programming.
[21:10] Chuckie: I could do that.
[21:10] Chuckie: Good idea.
[21:10] Chuckie: That blog, the EKO one...
[21:10] Chuckie: Is geting set up today.
[21:11] teh_lisa: ok back
[21:11] teh_lisa: oh yeah the eko blog
[21:11] teh_lisa: i forgot about that
[21:11] Chuckie: It'll be up in a minute, actually.
[21:11] teh_lisa: do we know the url?
[21:12] Chuckie: I propose that we hack it.
[21:12] Cortana: Bad idea.
[21:12] Chuckie: And i will in a memnt.
[21:12] Chuckie: Why?
[21:12] Cortana: it's not necessary. You just need to hijack a magna gnome, Chuck
[21:12] Cortana: c'mon, they make anything possible
[21:12] Cortana: you said so
[21:12] Cortana: and, hey, does Chuck Norris lie?
[21:13] JohnDough: Of course not!
[21:13] JohnDough: Hello everybody.
[21:13] Cortana: damn skippy.
[21:13] JohnDough: Good to see you were able to get into IRC, Chester.
[21:13] Cortana: I thought you were dead, John?
[21:13] Chuckie: Hi.
[21:13] JohnDough: No, no. That's another John.
[21:13] JohnDough: He used to be my buddy.
[21:14] JohnDough: I'd call him Chester, and he'd call me Bitch.
[21:14] Cortana: until you cut his head off?
[21:14] Chuckie: I can't compromise their programming.
[21:14] Cortana: then your foo is WEAK, Chuck.
[21:14] JohnDough: We had a good friendship.
[21:14] Chuckie: No, that's not the guy.
[21:14] Chuckie: No,It's just impossible.
[21:15] teh_lisa: i am so confused
[21:15] Cortana: nothing's impossible for Chuck Norris.
[21:15] Chuckie: This is. I'm ashamed to say it, but it is.
[21:15] JohnDough: Have you called Elvis and 2PAC yet?
[21:15] Takeru: He ate 3 72 oz. steaks in an hour, had sex with his waitress for the first 45 minutes.
[21:15] Chuckie: Yes. Seems they're coming soon.
[21:16] teh_lisa: so chuck whats the blog url?
[21:17] teh_lisa: you cant have elvis and 2pac without biggie
[21:17] teh_lisa: he will be pissed
[21:17] Chuckie: earthkannotobselete.blogspot.com
[21:17] Cortana: and you definitely need zombie reagan
[21:17] Chuckie: That sounds cool.
[21:18] Chuckie: So go check it out.
[21:18] Chuckie: I gotta go.
[21:18] teh_lisa: see ya chuck
[21:18] *** Chuckie has signed off IRC (Quit: http://unfiction.com/chat/).

 		EKO is watching
hey, i just wanted to let every1ne know that trumans friend "james" monitors these boards. the first time i spoke with him he made sure i knew it. so any talk of plans to bring down eko should be censored. we need to find a new way to communicate information between each other- maybe via email or strictly through aim. either way our communication is going to have to get a lot more personal than just posting convos on the message boards. here's my info:

AIM: norrisbreakface

email: norris.break.faceSPLAThotmail.com

myspace: www.myspace.com/yourmothersuxcocksinhell

my aim is almost always on and i never take it off "away" just im me and if i am available i'll respond.

...hail to the norris

Are you talking about me? From the AIM chat the other night? I'm not a character, dude. I'm a player, just like you. Razz

And Rusty, I have seen the blog, but I don't know what to do with it.

Quote:
[17:23] TrumansFriend23: I know that you and your companions think that this is a game. This is no game.
[17:24] TrumansFriend23: It seems that a..."Chewy" On your message boards has stated his name.
[17:24] TrumansFriend23: Truman Show.

Ah, ok. Just making sure. Well, in that case, I really hope Truman's Friend doesn't decide to post here. That would be a seriously bad idea. Confused

 		Pardon my busting in, as Im not playign this game (and wont be)

Perhaps, Im confused.. but if this TrumansFriend is a character... and is reading these forums.. then isnt he in SERIOUS breach of the rules of Unfiction? Isn't UF OOG? It doesnt matter that they arent posting. .. they can read it either. Or at least they can't read it and use information gotten IG.

By the way, just so it's not taken out of context, I am not in-game. The last thing I need right now is PM's asking about EKO and flaming for being on the board as an in-game character.

Although, I'm glad they took notice of me. I'm worth notice! Razz

Its a subject of much strong debate. There are users that lik the idea of an ARG pushign limits by recognizing what was previously considered OOG as IG. Other say it would make posting and cooperation nearly impossible. Blah blah blah. Long discussions. See META. Result is that Unfiction is OFFICIALLY OOG, so no one but the PTBs can change that.
