So I'm a scoundrel now?

That's it. I'm pushing.

I'll try to keep civilized and coherent. I do not want to be mistaken for some hater or spamer, but I'm embracing the bad guy role. I sent this:

This is really less of an ARG than an interactive story. I'm sure AngBa and I (mostly her) will have to deal with some consequences from that, but I think part of the plot is getting it through his head that he's not safe.

I've tried to warn him, maybe you'll be more successful.

I think if we can figure out the stupid skull code it will take us to the next level in finding them... I will try to have more patience than I did with it last night

[randomtrickpony]

Everyone's getting presents! I want one too!

In other news...I think I might have figured something out about the skull code. But I'm unsure, I need to double-check before I'll post.

Keep it up guys!

[AngBa]

If you have it figured out, Pony - I'll send you a present!!!!

[randomtrickpony]

I wish I had! I've just got a little hunch is all, but I don't want to say it and clutter up stuff if it's wrong. If nobody beats me to the punch, I'm going to attempt to follow it tonight after work.

BTW...doc's messenger says he's "away to buy candles"

Who finally made him do it? Come on! Speak up!

Hey, I think we REALLY need to focus on the item and the code - we might be holding the game up... wanna all get together at the chat tonight and brainstorm?

[stilettoblade]

seems like a good idea. i'll try to be on this evening

[AngBa]

This is for those everyone in the chat... You can email me for the song (I'll have to forward it) to theangrybanananaSPLATyahoo.com - for some reason the link he gave me didn't work.

That skull is getting me really frustrated, and I'm starting to dislike the Dr. I just don't believe he has "done nothing". He's certanly not telling us everything.

Still, I don't think me being on his bad side is dangerous for his trust to the rest of you. There's nothing to link us IC, and it is possible that someone just happened to know the places on his videos.


Anyhow... Maybe I'm just starting to see things, but I think the ethiopian alphabet has most of the signs on the skull. Yet it's not easy to to a 'translation' and I'm just tired of trying. If anyone feels like giving it a try download this pdf: http://www.tafuta.net/review.php?sid=975

Arkham, the doc actually did give us a clue in AngBa's IM doc.

I'm going to videotape the skull tomorrow evening and post the video to youtube.

Hopefully this will entice a new NPC onto the scene.

Also, quick summary of work tonight in #AV.


We don't know much. There was a lot of cryptoanalysis by maradydd, tipsila, angba, and a few others whose names have escaped me. Nothing concrete came of it. BUT, thought is that it probably is some sort of substitution cypher. Research will continue, if youtubing the skull doesn't produce a translation.
