as far as i can tell the decision to leave earth was to attempt and fix things like population and global warming by giving people a new place to live


Definitely not. If you've downloaded the Lost Planet theatrical trailer, there is a part where earth goes from normal to red and covered with lava.
One of the project leads on the antartic research site, Keiran Ari, studied "the effects of natural disasters on environments and how those environments recover". I think some kind of disaster happened, and I think it might be another key. We just need to find out what happened to earth.

while one of the reasons for leaving the earth maybe problems in the enviorment. It stil relates more to the actual game and not the arg
the trailers are out of game material

wow our friend is on... My first day playing an ARG and already a character interaction...

Not much information...

Chris A: hello
Alfred Alan: hello sir
Chris A: hi, I've been readin your blog i love your pranks on Phil
Chris A: And I have some relatives in San Fran
Alfred Alan: thank you kindly - do they like it in SF?
Chris A: Yes very much so
Chris A: but
Chris A: those highways are such a bother
Chris A: well, we call them highways here in australia
Chris A: You dont happen to know of any plans to any of the roads in San Fran?
Chris A: i'm sorry, i understand your busy
Alfred Alan: It's ok
Alfred Alan: a lot of people sent me messages
Alfred Alan: I am not super familiar with the city
Alfred Alan: I have visited
Alfred Alan: but I don't live there
Chris A: yes... when are you going? maybe you could stay at my relative's house?
Alfred Alan: the company has arranged a hotel - but thank you for the kind offer
Chris A: ehehe, i like your picture
Alfred Alan: Rock Rat
Chris A: yes
Chris A: very cute, where did you get it?
Alfred Alan: found it online somewhere
Alfred Alan: don't remember where

Chris A: gotta love google images
Alfred Alan:
Alfred Alan: yes - well I should get going - have a good night
Chris A: good night to you to
Chris A: have a good trip!


Maybe something with the rock rat? I dont know, I've never played an ARG before...

Maybe we should find out where he is staying while in San Fran?

And also, Its probably nothing but i think we should check the braille more often...

Ever wonder why it sometimes takes Alfred a while to right a short sentence... we know why now. Hidden TEXT!!

Edit: This may look like something new he is doing. How long he has been doing it and how long after he will do it is unknown. After reading through past copy/paste conversations, nothing was found. Still... tight as hell.

If you have any archived Alfred convos, reopen them and select all. He likes to hide messages in white text. Here is a convo I had with him tonight. The bold text was hidden:
Quote:
argodaemon: Hello Alfred, long time no see!
alfredalannevec: hello sir
argodaemon: Poor Phil, I think you are going to give him a stroke.
alfredalannevec: I very nearly did with Chocolate Bomb
alfredalannevec: he needs a rest - we all do
argodaemon: he thought he was being smart...
argodaemon: but you are smarter
alfredalannevec: for now when one door closes
argodaemon: he must not be at the office too much for you to be able to plant the chocolate all the time? Does he take extended lunches or something?
alfredalannevec: He's one of those people who has a pretty specific schedule - always takes lunch at 12 - goes for a run at 3 - never in before 8, but never later than 8:15
argodaemon: ha, he exercises at work?
alfredalannevec: we have showers there is more I can't share now
argodaemon: ah
argodaemon: How's Akemi the demon cat doing? Staying out of trouble I hope?
alfredalannevec: he just walked by actually - he ran his drills for the night
alfredalannevec: so he is calm right now
argodaemon: for all the destrution he causes when you are at work, it must be hell to control him when you are home.
alfredalannevec: He loves me when I am home
alfredalannevec: I think he just misses me when I am out
argodaemon: Do you have a webcam at your place? It might be a good idea to keep an I on the cat at work. If you know what he gets into, you may be able to prevent it a little more.
alfredalannevec: I just bought a door jam
alfredalannevec: so that I can lock him in the bathroom better
alfredalannevec: hopefully that will solve the problem
argodaemon: haha, sad you have to do that to a cat
alfredalannevec: he gets run of the house when I am home
alfredalannevec: and I am hopinf he grows out ofit
argodaemon: I don't own a cat (slight allergy) but I know that they will... It just takes a LONG time.
alfredalannevec: yup - I must show the utmost patience
argodaemon: Your patience seems to be running a little slim at the workplace lately...
alfredalannevec: Too much to do in too short a time
alfredalannevec: but we will push forward and hopefully make our deadline
alfredalannevec: I just am figuring there will not be much Christmas vacation this year
alfredalannevec: which is sad
alfredalannevec: Sad My time is running short
argodaemon: Atleast your christmas shopping is done... more then I can say.
alfredalannevec: hehehe - I should get going
alfredalannevec: havea good night
argodaemon: goodnight!


BlackHawk127 had this convo:
Quote:
blackhawk: so have you found a way to tie down that demon cat
blackhawk: any new havoc caused
Alfred Alan: I bought a door jam It's getting strange around here
blackhawk: that should minimize problems


CrackerJak had this response when inquiring about the Office Space quote in his YIM message:
Quote:
Alfred Alan: yup - great movie I think someone is watching me


Someone is watching him... Also, considering he says he can't say more after inquiring about Phil means that Phil plays a larger part to come later... I may have been right earlier... we need more INFO!

Great job, guys!!!

Maybe it would be worth to create the separate thread for character interaction logs to have them all stored there for future reference...

We were talking about that before, but I just needed to go to sleep. Very Happy

Otherwise, I have put together the new thread for any Alfred character interaction. I only posted this new find, so if you have any old conversations that you would like to share, please feel free to post!

I just checked my log of the convo about candy bars I had with him, and there's nothing.

Nice catch. Very Happy

Thanks... By the way, any ideas what AA meant by "when one door closes"? It's something obvious I missed or there's more to that?

My thought is that he means either

"when one door closes, another door opens"
-or-
"there is always another way"

It means something, that is for sure...
I have a feeling either something is going to happen Phil or that Phil is up to no good considering the "there is more I can't share now" comment. Don't want to jump ahead in the ARG, I suppose. Good thing I stopped inquiring where I did!

MASSIVE updates!

Alfred just came online, his away message reads:
11 10 42 --- 4-12-9-28-4-12-5-18-18

The second part decodes to:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Churchill


Unsure what the first part is for yet.

Blog Update, the source shows us:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

deadline has an interesting etymology
I must admit, the more I think about this party the more I feel like Bilbo on his birthday, I just want to put on the damned ring and disappear!
I know there are a lot of people out there who have asked me about NeVeC. If you want to see what they are REALLY about I can help you crash the big party. Besides the more eyewitnesses I have there, the better, right? Go to ARTP and you will find answers there.


Will continue updating as I work out everything.
