TuringPrinciple in online games
AO Player needed

If anyone plays Anarchy-online, Turing Principle is at Rimor online for the next 65 minutes. He is giving encrypted messages (they have been in ROT so far).
He may be there under the name of tap tap.
There are people in #ctw and #smalldene chat solutions to help. The latter is in game.

[02:07] <RedHatty> Turing tells me to go back to the beginning to get the name, BUT - I was like warped here & don't know how to get back

[02:17] <RedHatty> got it
[02:17] <RedHatty> Brandon Thorn

[02:18] <RedHatty> now a quest of strength

[02:41] <RedHatty> oh geez, the bird is the green thing that flies over the sand, I have to kill a sand dragon

[02:52] <RedHatty> remember that and you will find your way
[02:53] <RedHatty> can't tell me where the wired soul is
[02:54] <RedHatty> and I was given a soul fragment

[SPEC] Wired Soul

Wired Soul = Sam -- She wears those wiry things on her hands.

From Redhatty's adventure:

Quote:

Gain access to the information through the wired soul. Remember that you will find the way.

We have to gain access through the Wired Soul.

From CK's adventure:

Quote:

Now I give you this: "faceofman." Remember it when the time comes.

[spec] Could Sam have a site or something which has something to do with Wired Soul or wired soul is the username and faceofman is the pass to log into her private site if we find it. Remember we will find the way.

And I hope this doesn't make things even more confusing.
