Little OOG here, but...ya, I agree about the no finding thing Mycro. We should play out the game as it stands for right now (you wouldn't want to flip all the way to the end of a good novel just yet, now would you?)

See, the doctor has clearly told us that looking for him will not help. But he IS leaving us clues about his location...which leads me to believe that:

A. this will lure out AV whether the doctor wants it or not, helping us out, and is therefore part of the game

B. the doctor is telling us these things because he wants to do a drop for us

Could the cat be a reference to the "Cat's Paw" story, meaning"fall guy"? (the monkey ref. makes me wonder)

*goes back to lurking*

Damn you Dr!!

/me shakes her fist at the forum

i can't stay away. but i can't watch any of the videos. but this is too interesting to walk away from. grrrr. i want to be involved, someone suggest to the dr that he could leave a few non-video clues for some of us who have a youtube handicap?

EDIT: and not everyone gets kittens, some people go to the pound or humane society and get an older kitty...then there's always opening your home up to a stray; my boyfriend's parents have four cats that were all strays.

He said in his most recent chat with AngBa that the cat was a gift from one of his research assistants.

(Sorry, but I do think this might mean something) Interesting fact about that cat (for those that know their kitties)...it's a MALE tortoiseshell (the Dr. clearly says this in the last line, where before he had always called the cat "it").

Male tortoiseshells are not very common at all, due to certain color-linked genetics factors (additionally, you cannot even clone a tortoiseshell and end up with one). For a full genetic articles on this very subject see http://www.messybeast.com/tricolours.htm and... http://www.messybeast.com/mosaicism.htm

See a reasoning behind this, or am I aimless in the forest?

you rock, Randomtrickpony! I think your thoughts are right on.

or, the Dr could actually be my grandmother, who has called all of our family cats "he" even though we have never owned a male cat and repeatedly tell her that our cats are "shes."

I could be WAY off track here, but I think his assistant gave him the cat just so he wouldn't feel so alone in the new city. No one he works with knows anything about AV - The PM has invested a lot of time in trying to create a full personality and rather close interaction with the players. It's my guess that he saw my youtube profile where I have posted videos of my cat who had 2 litters of kittens within about 6 months (don't ask...) and used Monkey as another means to create some type of relationship/trust with me.

Of course I could be wrong - also, I am looking and don't see the Dr's reflection...


ETA: Also, I don't think we need to go hunting the Dr. down just yet... But I would gear up for a drop pretty quick.

Alright... The game finally grabbed me...

Hmm, i don't want to get snarky here, but i'm not sure if you can generalize that spiritualists are usually from the poorer area of town. I agree that it may tell us something about his background, but as someone who has lived in a lot of different areas in the US, i can say that there are certain towns that i have lived in that are more accepting of a spiritualistic subculture than others. it had more to do with political philosophies than incomes.

There were towns that i lived in that had absolutely no alternative cultures, no spiritual people, no cool bookstores, etc. But there was no shortage of plaid shirts and cowboy boots. Then there were other towns that i've lived in that was full of all sorts of different people, Bread Not Bombs food stands, tarot card readers, crystal shops. Those towns would definitely consider blue to be their favorite color.
