And PMs should have faith that players will, for example, notice that needed diagrams have reappeared, and maybe even invent an in-game reason for it if you can't supply one, and are quite capable of critiquing a flawed vigenere puzzle after in-game breadcrumbs finally get players to the intended solution. etc etc

Ah - just thought it was a standard ToS for posting; I have now read and am up-to-date.

I still don't see the point of posting those diagrams in the blog though unless they are actually going to be useful(this is where they send out a new clue and make them uselful murphy's law).

I just get the sense that this game is unravelling somewhat as far as the alternate reality side goes - seems a shame after two+ years of development(according to them).

I was away from electricity for a while (don't ask). I just want to point out that I did not get the input (apparently Negativland). I got most of the output and quasi-brute-forced the rest. If the input is to be important later, then we did need the diagrams re-posted.

When I first saw Negativland I thought it was a reference to me. Heh.

Eh, it probably was a little too far on the side of grey, but I was glad of the notification regardless. I wouldn't have found out about the diagrams at all, because by the time I got back from my trip, they'd been taken down. So when I opened up the blog, all I saw was the coded message and since it was a fairly new clue, I figured it'd be the same until we figured it out. The talk of diagrams actually confused me because I kept looking at the blog window like, "Are we back on trying to find pictures in code again?"

Well, I have to say - I think for a "grassroots" effort, I have given it a good go... I've been patient, I've looked past the "peeks behind the curtain", but having a PM have to EXPLAIN themselves to a player THEN want them to let us know of their mistakes is going too far.

I know you're reading this - Take me OFF of your IM's, I'll be the first to say that I'm done. This is stupid and going nowhere.

Invaded his house..
I was thinking Synthesis only attacked minds.
Anyway. Seems like we might get updated on that soon.

Another update at IU. Travis is going to be on the #justice chat at 8pm EST

At last, more interaction! I'll be sure to be there. Anyone have any ideas on where he could hide out in a secure fashion? He could live ala T3's John Connor, but that'd require him to go into internet cafes, which would leave a little bit of a trail, with witnesses and all. He could also try and falsify identification and get cheap housing with internet access or something. The major problem will be in keeping Synthesis from predicting his next move, whatever it is.

There is the possibility of making TWO moves. Falsify identity records, secure cheap housing with the help of a paid actor - or hell, even just some bum off the street who wouldn't say no to a place to stay on somebody else's dollar - and have that actor/bum/whatever live there. Meanwhile he lives off the grid, ducking into internet cafes in order to get access to the internet. Synthesis may very well predict both those moves, but would they be able to go as far as to predict which is the one the real Travis is using? If they only predicted one, there's a 50-50 chance they'd be wrong, but if they predicted both, Synthesis would likely be thrown into at least a little chaos as they tried to decide which possibility was the right one. This would keep them off balance and enable Travis to form a more comprehensive battle plan.

Okay lots has gone down. There was a chat with Travis, and I missed most of it. Ask Esteed or Audioslave for more about that... And all of the other blog posts are now gone, replaced by a new one.
