Or the same person? Foo's the one who started the idea of Deus City. And come on... Foo has GOT to be a nickname.

Unfortunately, they've blocked Youtube at work (favor to ask of PMs -- I know you're out there! --could you post video in some other way as well?), so I can't get a glimpse of Mustafa to check age.


EDIT: Yeah, basically what EndOfFemme... we co-posted Smile.

ok got the same reply ark got ...
You will forgive me if I am having difficulty with trust right now - but there is more going on than anyone knows. The team has *tried* to cut me off and lock me out, but they don't know everything that I know.

Be patient. I'll reveal what I know they are hiding as soon as it is safe.

...Unless of course you wish to help me? Can I trust you david?

So we're choosing sides, eh? Well, since everyone's going with Foo, I'm sticking with Brackin. Maybe it's cause I'm working on a dissertation of my own, but I can sympathize with what he calls University Politics. I'm sure he'd be as happy as any of us to see his research go public, but it sounds like it really isn't up to him to decide whether he goes along or not. I mean, if the server's locked down (for any reason, political or otherwise), there's not much he can do.

Of course, we don't know what Foo knows, so who knows, I could change my mind on down the line.

So it's an automated response Confused .

Bah, Nevermind, everything else is so cool that I'm willing to look past that.

I was about to say we do need more people on the Brackin side. Not everyone can be a... Foo-er? whatever. I'm sure we'll need to hear from both sides.

I agree, he seems to be the good guy in this story. But it is just starting and there is still much time to go!

I have the feeling that however divided we are at the beginning, somethings going to happen to bring everyone togeather. Its not wise to pit two teams of highly intelligent ARGer against each other, with all the opposing brainpower we might accidentally create a rift in space-time.

Hey, we might even create a new timecom (time communication) device.

My response looks slightly different than the others i've seen, still nothing special though.

...You say you wish to help me? I believe you. You have a sophisticated wisdom for seeing past labels.

Be vigilant Brandon. I'll reveal what I know when I'm sure it is safe.

I'm with you on this one, molecularr. Foo just seems kinda...suspicious. His dissappearences, etc. Plus, it seemed (to me, at least) that he knew what they were going to recieve before it happened.
Anyway, I think it would be kinda cool to have a competitive ARG, I don't think it's ever been done before! Very Happy

I think it has, just not... extremely successfully (someone feel free to correct me on this). Maybe this time, though!

Thank you to those who contacted me first. Especially the first four... I believe you know who you are. It was the confirmation I was seeking that this is indeed real. You have given me the courage to speak my side of the story. Please do not betray my trust.

New blog post, can't wait to see whats going to happen.

I hope I am one of 'the four'. I did get this:

Quote:
I believe I can trust you. Someone else MUST know... just in case something happens. The following is a testament to my actions over the last three days. I swear it to be completely true to the best of my abilities, though certain details I have omitted to protect you. Do not ask for more - when the time is right it will be shown to you by another. I am now convinced and ready. I'm making the preparations to go to the next stage as instructed. I will contact you when it is safe.

11/11/06 0415 Having discovered a problem with the spectrometer diagnostics on the light activated relay, I entered the crawlspace over the server room to run a scan before the timed event the next morning.
11/11/06 0535 (approx) I discovered I was locked inside the server room, and the internal phone was not working.
11/11/06 08?? Tired from yelling and banging, I fell asleep on the floor having been up for nearly 48 hours.
11/11/06 1625 I was awakened by a campus sys-admin and upon leaving the server room discovered I was mostly alone in the building (as usual) so I went home to work from there (as usual).
11/11/06 1800 (approx) Upon checking the system logs remotely from my laptop, I discovered that my passwords had been deactivated. Upon further investigation I discovered the truth that the entire project had in fact been broadcast onto the internet, and upon watching the archive realized that I was fired.
11/11/06 2130 I arrived back at the office to confront Brackin. I was angry, frustrated, and not entirely sober. Still no one was in the project office, though my key still worked. (Apparently there was a party of some sort at Maxwell's house.)
11/12/06 0000 I left the office with a copy of the project data, using the back door I programmed into MY spectroanalysis code.
12/11/06 0330 Upon returning home, I found something BIG hidden in the spectroanalysis data log which if proved true could...
12/11/06 0400 I Began securing my remote link to hack the feed permanently.
12/11/06 1111.11 I Received the first confirmation of the truth (right on schedule).
12/11/06 1230 Having worked all night on analysis of the "data burst", I came to an undeniable conclusion: It *IS* complete garbage as I had been led to believe by my discovery and the second confirmation of the truth.
13/11/06 1111.11 I Received the third confirmation of the truth (as expected).
13/11/06 1200 Posted the unedited transmission from Deus City 2036 as received on 11/11 by the project, (but hidden by them from the public eye) to prove that I am who I say I am - for those I knew must inevitably find me.
13/11/06 1232 Received first email communication from outside the project from "Edward", followed by "David" 10 hours later. The other two soon followed... All except "Montreal", perhaps another took his place and we are already changing things? I do not know. Either way it was the final confirmation I needed.

I now know the truth: The future *IS* coming! And we MUST change it.

_Foo Defiant!

So now that we have heard from Foo, has anyone e-mailed brackin recently? His yahoo messenger was just set to BRB.

I'm quite a rookie to this, so please if I do something incorrectly please let me know.

Bah, I thought I was one of the four, but I didn't get an email.

Oh well.

Thats very interesting, and brings some questions.

11/11/06 0415 Having discovered a problem with the spectrometer diagnostics on the light activated relay, I entered the crawlspace over the server room to run a scan before the timed event the next morning.

11/11/06 0535 (approx) I discovered I was locked inside the server room, and the internal phone was not working.
Locked inside? Who locked him inside the server room? Every single server room I've been in (a fair many) the door could be opened from the inside.

11/11/06 08?? Tired from yelling and banging, I fell asleep on the floor
having been up for nearly 48 hours.

11/11/06 1625 I was awakened by a campus sys-admin and upon leaving the server room discovered I was mostly alone in the building (as usual) so I went home to work from there (as usual).

11/11/06 1800 (approx) Upon checking the system logs remotely from my laptop, I discovered that my passwords had been deactivated. Upon further investigation I discovered the truth that the entire project had in fact been broadcast onto the internet, and upon watching the archive realized that I was fired.
Ouch.

11/11/06 2130 I arrived back at the office to confront Brackin. I was angry, frustrated, and not entirely sober. Still no one was in the project office, though my key still worked. (Apparently there was a party of some sort at Maxwell's house.)

11/12/06 0000 I left the office with a copy of the project data, using the back door I programmed into MY spectroanalysis code.
Good man Smile

12/11/06 0330 Upon returning home, I found something BIG hidden in the spectroanalysis data log which if proved true could...
I wish he would elaborate...anyone have any spec?

12/11/06 0400 I Began securing my remote link to hack the feed permanently.
12/11/06 1111.11 I Received the first confirmation of the truth (right on schedule).
12/11/06 1230 Having worked all night on analysis of the "data burst", I came to an undeniable conclusion: It *IS* complete garbage as I had been led to believe by my discovery and the second confirmation of the truth.
13/11/06 1111.11 I Received the third confirmation of the truth (as expected).
Truth? Am I missing something here? What truth? Did Foo find something else, another transmission maybe? Why would someone send several terabytes of junk (no wonder the other guy isn't posting his data)

13/11/06 1200 Posted the unedited transmission from Deus City 2036 as received on 11/11 by the project, (but hidden by them from the public eye) to prove that I am who I say I am - for those I knew must inevitably find me.
So then he is indeed the guy at the beginning?


13/11/06 1232 Received first email communication from outside the project from "Edward", followed by "David" 10 hours later. The other two soon followed... All except "Montreal", perhaps another took his place and we are already changing things? I do not know. Either way it was the final confirmation I needed.

Montreal? Who is changing things, what changed?



So...many...questions!

Smile
