 		I just had a conversation with albrackin via yahoo chat

albrackin: I've been locked out of the system for days now
troon: who locked you out?
albrackin: I'm not supposed to talk about it.
albrackin: They've got me on a Non-Disclosure about the project results
albrackin: I'm fighting it.
albrackin: The dean of emergent technologies is on my side I think.
troon: what's the deans name again?
albrackin: who did you say you were?
albrackin: which project are you with?
albrackin: you aren't a UTD student?
troon: i was for a semester
troon: it didnt work out
albrackin: HOLY CRAP. I'm violating my ND! Sorry man.

MY first ARG interaction, very exciting!

 		Well, it wont matter much if he does get to post the data, according to Foo its all junk, however I would like to see it to make that assessment myself.

Congrats on your first interaction, I remember my first one, hehe.

 		Ok, so I'm not sure if I'm over thinking this, grasping at anything I can, or what. I need you all to help me on this.

I've found Brackin's UT Dallas student page here http://www.utdallas.edu/~alb032000/

From that I learned that Brackin's middle Initial is "L"
Searching the full name on google pulls a link to this job ad which has locations in the Dallas area. http://dallas.craigslist.org/edu/221946025.html
I know that bridge builders is a real group, but the link is dallas, adam L. Brackin, and a phone number 972-516-8844
yay or nay?

 		Heya folks. I haven't been on these boards since I was an obsessed lurker during ILB. Anyways, I'm excited to be on the ground floor for what looks to be an exciting game. I look forward to working with you fine folks.

Anyways, I believe that Brackin may be using his real-life oog name for his in-game character. I found him on a class list for a Game Dev. class at UT Dallas, as well as a paper on visual learning that he wrote, and along with the craigslist listing and the Fundi Tech. connection, all seem unrelated and irrelevant to the game. Basically, me thinks they underestimated our mad investigational skiillz.

 		Here's a recent snapshot from the wayback machine.

And here (for now) is Google's cached copy of the site.

The links to past projects all seem to work, and the oldest have been online since 2004. In other words, Adam L. Brackin seems like a real guy.

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.


In fact, I think it's the law that in any public building you have to be able to get out from the inside. Fire code and all that. I mean, there ARE exceptions of course, but it's still strange. Why would someone lock him in?

Which I would say means DON'T call him until we get specific word to do so. Smile In fact, maybe we should take his number down from the forum (but keep it handy!)

On the Bridge builders Academy site, we can found this page http://bridgebuilderacademy.com/strategy_game_club. There is a phone number and it is ask to talk to ADAM.

 		I still don't reply nothing to Foo, but I just noticed the time of the transmision was changed to 1111.11.

Also, this must tie in with Brackit's Blog entry about the Nostradamus prophecy concerning Deus City and the two brothers. So perhaps the guy from the future is Foo's brother.

 		New post on Deus Machina blog

Quote:
Apparenty a large number of outside IP addresses have been hitting the UTD servers and sites


Could that be foo's doings?

I am totally on the side of Brackin on this. He didn't mean any harm and as far as I can see he hasn't done anything bad as of yet.

So now we're gonna have a PI on the scene, wonder what (s)he/they will be like.

are we now going to be passed on to the hands of another person? sounds like brackin may be losing his staring role.

 		Sounds to me like if Brackin wants to continue on with this project, there's only one person he can turn to now... if that person is willing to let him.
