I asked Theophilus about the "God Killer" and got this cryptic and confusing response. Hopefully one of you can make sense of it, because for me it might as well be Greek.

Quote:
I am glad you are investigating this "God Killer" It is troubling to the Brotherhood as well. We feel that this may be the beginnings of what will come to be known in our oral history as the great irony of the underground, but the true records are lost as is much from your world not controlled directly by the two Pre-war corporations.


Compare this to Chris Brown's response (see the Chris Brown thread), which implies something very different.

This wasn't an answer to the question I wrote Theophilus (I asked about Sodalitus / tCoSA) and received the following response.

from Theophilus
Quote:
There are those who would speak of changing the way things are. These are lies. There are no temporal errors there is no changing the future... fate and destiny are a matter of historical record. Understand that some of you - those who were yourselves in your "now" are now here in my "now" and remember. The war has wiped out much of the data that was not locked away by Defensecorp - but trust that they have kept ALL records of ALL interactions. Anything that is not told to you is told by choice - not by "temporal error". And while even I must be silent from time to time about what will be so that destiny can take its form, I am not afraid of it. And therein lies the difference. Time Marches on... and soon you will see. You are at the beginning of the path and I am at the end - but it is the same path. What must be will be - even in my time. Think it though... if you were me and you needed to know something that would happen tomorrow... NEEDED TO KNOW... How would you do it?


I replied with something suitably over the top and useless.

from ME
Quote:
Well, the easiest way would be to tell myself--if I resolve to tell myself 30 years in the future and stick to that promise, it would have always happened and I would have received the information.

If you ever saw "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure", it's like the key scene--history cannot be changed. But if you resolve to leave yourself a key in the future, and suddenly find a key where you were planning on leaving it, all you need to do is complete your obligation in the future--because you have already done so.

I admit, I enjoy being on this side of the time conundrum more than I think I would enjoy being on the future end. For me, everything is endless possibility, because I DON'T know what is inevitable. For you, you must look back at events and watch them unfurl as you know it must.

But then, that's what memory is, when you get down to it.


To which I received the following.
from Theophilus
Quote:
You are wise beyond your years... and beyond tomorrow as well.

It is possible to abuse the technology we have created and realize every moment from the instant it went live until the moment it is taken down. When you realize this - you will realize the real power that is being wielded in this place.

You must also realize that this did not begin in 2006... it began much, much longer ago than that.

-----------------------
He also sent me this response that DOES address tCoSA: it is apparently the present name. There was a name before tCoSA. I'm assuming it was Solidatas Nostradamus, or whatever that partial solve was from the tCoSA puzzle.
from Theophilus
Quote:
????, tCotSA , Brotherhood

What was lost is found and rejoined
Preparations for the coming end are made
The Brotherhood a new name takes
And for three decades it then waits

You are nearing enlightenment, but you are not there yet... go further back and the centuries will lay before you.


I sent my suspected answer...
from ME
Quote:
Going back further, I think I may have a clue.

First was Sodalitus Nostradamus. The protectors of the future.
Then came the Committee of the Sedulous Amalgamation--those who gave birth to Defense-Corp as it could have been.
Finally, we arrive upon the Brotherhood.

If this is not what you were looking for, I fear I will have to dig even deeper than before.


and received confirmation.
from Theophilus
Quote:
Congratulations. Your discovery is well timed and if I'm remembering the events correctly then you should contact your "mail-man"


The "mail-man" refers to the mysterious poetry-club email I received, or maybe to the tCoSA agent in our midst? Or maybe it's morelaak, who is getting mailed a piece of the folio? Damn...too many plotlines coming to head at once.

I received an answer too, pretty much the same thing as gordie:

Quote:
To      Theophilus:
Dearest Brother,

Please forgive my intrusion so soon after my last commique. Something has come to my attention today. It appears there is another organization which has been completely separated from ours and they are seeking Nostradamus Folio pages. They refer to themselves as tCotSA. Need we be concerned about these individuals?

In Brotherhood

Theophilus says: SEEK THE THREE NAMES OF THE BROTHERHOOD:
????, tCotSA , Brotherhood

What was lost is found and rejoined
Preparations for the coming end are made
The Brotherhood a new name takes
And for three decades it then waits

You are nearing enlightenment, but you are not there yet... go further back and the centuries will lay before you.


And this was the earlier question I asked as well as it's interesting response:

Quote:
To      Theophilus:
Dearest Brother,

I have a concern about this proposed Brotherhood Book Club; does it have the approval of the True Brotherhood? If not, then who is BrumGuy and why is he suggesting it?

Thank you, Brother
WolfHawk

Theophilus says: It does NOT. We have strong evidence that this blasphemer is in fact in league with the HFU.


Hmmm....

Well I started a private Myspace page for the Attackin Brackins. So that way we can have some place to discuss privileged info. That way We can post info and not worry about it being miss used on UF I suggest that the Foo fighters do the same if they are that hard up about there info.


If you think that this is a good idea please let me know and I will update the page further.

www.myspace.com/130585438


May I propose that instead of using MySpace as the home of our group, we use Google groups? If you want, I'll go ahead and create the group. this way, our work will be hidden from the foo fighters.

Adam has update the sodality blog, with both a scan of the Folio page, and also with Agent Hook's Compilation video (made from scenes from the Copenhagen Riots of this year).

also he mentions the name of a man that has been given to him and he believes it to be correct.

Yup. Just so credit is given where due, the music backing the video is by Chuck Prophet. I am glad that the video was linked on the blog, and also that the Union concept is being given some in-game credibility now. Smile

Some of the footage also came from CNN. :p

And yes, I do indeed. I was familiar with the riots prior to seeking out the video footage. I am actually making a version of the same video using text to explain the history the Ungdomshuset riots so more people can be aware of what happened there. I am a radical activist. I am connected to several anarchist communities, labor movements, and so on. I myself am a minarchist and have lived in many houses and contributed to many spaces similar to the site the riots were attempting to protest. I have actually used the Ungdomshuset riots as both an example and counterexample to the value of violent protest, using them to display the ways in which they breed a unity amongst radicals and galvanize them to action while simultaneously accomplishing less in the way of practical outcome than organized peaceful effort could do. However although I do not support violent protest or revolt in real life despite my radical politics (yes friends I do have a pretty lovely FBI file complete with photographs and everything, and have even participated in a black block) in the context of the game I think it is fine for my IG self to support such actions provided there are no other alternatives available.

We all have our dirty fantasies after all. Wink

Remember, the stuff I talk about in-game and so on is not just a character. I am actually playing myself and this is the sort of stuff that I actually do in real life. Though I admit I have not been particularly active as of late, which is unfortunate. As for knowing to make the video? I just made it to sort of rub it in Princes face after he accused me of making the TIA appear foolish with propaganda. The PMs latched onto it much like they decided to make use of the rhetoric speech I wrote after the Mary Jansen character was reported dead.

P.s. Personally I regret the loss of Ungdomshuset. It had a lot of very important history and should have been treated as a respected landmark worthy of upkeep, by both the city and the radicals living in it and the organization which purchased it. It is a tragic loss of history.

Haha. Last post of mine derailing this thread. Wink

Its just always sad to see a piece of history go. It was originally registered as an important landmark and a lot of real amazing early 20th century history went down in that building. Ah well. Smile
