 		Another fast reply!

What I am updating Serves various purposes. For one, it Inspires many of those who view it in small, subtle ways and those who own it in very strong ways. Modifying people in such a manner helps to guide society down the Path that my people believe is the best. They also Serve as a very important part of our belief system. They help to strengthen us and keep us healthy. They are the most sacred objects in our world. They are the winning card in the Game we play with Humanity.

 		If this was an honest answer, the hand has been tipped a little. During the crazy era of the blog, GMiller mentions "dark muses". In myth, the muses inspire humanity. Dark muses, perhaps, inspire humanity towards their darker urges?

EDIT: I remember one of GMiller's early (read: sane) entries mention that he found himself inspired to write little short stories, despite not being much of a writer. Obvious muse parallel there. The stories always seemed to be horror. Dark. I'm definitely seeing a connection here.

I Yahooed that and all that came up was some third grader's powerpoint on frogs. Seems authentic and OG.

 		Okay, we're down to the last of the questions we get to choose. Do you want me to just pick one, or do we want to try and decide on one last question?

 		i don't really care one way or another, but i think it'd be best to ask something about his identity or the connection between all of the people/characters involved so far.

 		On the "Muses" thing... his ip address made an edit on the wiki about the band "Throwing Muses." I wonder if that is a coincidence or not. I'll throw up a reference on it in a bit

Also "the Path" and "my people" interesting wording. I've got a TON of half-ideas going around in my head right now. I'm writing a Story So Far... doc to try to put all this down on paper and make some sense of it. VERY weird stuff happening. Think this is definitely an ARG of some sort (Or perhaps "Performance Art") But, I'm getting more and more hooked.

Must...

Watch...

Videos...

(After I eat some Chinese food!)

*edit I've found some very weird "coincidences" in going back over the messages for my summary which are somewhat freaking me out. I need to look into more detail, and if anyone has a copy of the blog before it got changed I would appreciate it.

 		I think you should ask about the connections between characters/events. But I'm not sold on that being sup important at this point. If it were something important to solving the overall mystery, he's going to have to make it clearer later on, or give us additional clues. So we might want to wait for that.

He mentioned that they guide us down the "Path." Didn't someone in this thread mention the Dark Tower a while back? The characters in that series travel the Path of the Beam to get to the center of all worlds (the tower). Maybe we should ask where the path is taking us. Or who chose the path? that may give us insights into who charged him with the task.

EDIT: Check that. The Dark Tower reference was made in a different thread. My mistake. I still think it's worth considering, though.

 		Seems like we could reach a middle ground here with the questions. Asking, "What are your people's beliefs?" could get us somewhere. It would give us information on what his people believe, which we could then use to google or wiki or whatever. Then again, he could vague that answer up something fierce, so maybe it would be better to specify. "Explain the beliefs of your people that are relevant to the material you're updating."

Alternatively, we could tell him/her/it that we know he/she/it/they have been watching our efforts, and ask them what connections we've missed.

EDIT: Last question asked. For the sake of me being lazy I'm just pasting it in as a quote.

Quote:
Last of the questions we get to choose.

We know you, or others of your people, are watching our efforts. Games like these are never fun unless you can see what the mice in the maze are doing, so here it is.

Earlier you said there were connections we might not have made. We've made some connections and I've got ideas as to a few more. But there's nothing quite like the source. What connections are there that we've missed?


I'll add the answer when it goes up.

 		Here's the response (I took it upon myself to post it so he won't delete the blog before you get a chance to read it):

Quote:
This is not a question I can answer fully. However, there are some examples I can give you. First of all, the man who Took the moniker Jack Q. Pembry bought the second video. I wouldn't try getting in touch with him. He's Gone. The Robert mentioned on Gregory Miller's blog is not Donald Wilson's stepson. He is Danny's brother. Two separate people sharing a common name, you see. He's still Kicking around, though in all honesty I can't guarantee you his last name is Cable. So, here are the three people who bought the videos from me personally: Jack Q. Pembry (alias), Daniel C., Gregory Miller. You have yet to discuss how the second video got from Pembry to Donald Wilson to Jamie to Youtube. Donald Wilson wasn't himself when he began his little collection, as his Obituary seems to hint. Of course, researching ol' Donald will just lead to a Dead end (literally) for you, which causes me to wonder why no one has investigated the others yet.

I'd be following Jamie's Youtube profile for the next few days. The first chance you get to contact him, do it. I never figured him into my equation, so his presence is, to put it lightly, slightly Aggravating to me, and even I don't fully understand how the video got from Wilson to him, though I have some ideas. There may be a group of Interlopers trying to get my videos to people I would generally consider Unworthy. If you want my help, I suggest you Stop them. Follow my advice about Jamie, and eventually you'll know what to do. In the End, you're going to end up helping me take care of Jamie no matter what it is you truly want to do. Don't make it Difficult for yourself by trying to Misbehave.

The Interlopers may be my sisters. I would elaborate about them further, but that wasn't your question. A hint - TOPIC: THE RECURRING THEME OF DUALITY IN MYTHOLOGY.

Soon, this blog will be nothing but variants of the posts that preceded this. Good luck.


Jamie, is, obviously, "givemeanumber" on Youtube. I wonder if I'm in trouble now that I uploaded the fourth video Shocked

 		NEW INFO!!!!
Take a look on tis page: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=18035&start=60

Look at JUAN's comments, . Maybe we DO need to contact this guy. He might be IG (although his being here was a direct violation of TOS if so.)

At first I thought he was the same guy who posted the comment on Youtube en espanol, but while they both are from south america (Argentina I believe)

Check out this: link1
Cached image when I searched for the phrase that is his blogspot name... from two days ago, the same day that JUAN posted in the forums, and the same day that the other spanish-speaker posted his comment on the youtube file.

Translated page:
link2
Notice his comments:
"100 3 xs = 300

I leave a trailer of the film.

Nah, lie.

I do not leave anything, but I hope that they have liked my site to all those that entered and that send many mails to me, thus to reach to Roberto Carlos. ^^"

300- trailer of the film. Plus at the bottom he talks about the Max Headroom hijacking incident. CHECK IT OUT. Let me know what you think.

 		Interesting stuff in his response. I'm going to message Jamie and ask him about the video. Will keep you all posted.

This is some WEIRD stuff.

 		even weirder news: the fcc has declared the wyoming incident to have been a real event.

type "the wyoming incident wgn" into google and look at the url of the first result and the name of the first result.

this makes things slightly unnerving again, especially considering the government is telling us at least part of this is real.

Not quite. 154.51mhz is the Private Land Mobile Radio service, not television frequencies. It was probably the radio between the drivethru speaker and the restaurant.

See http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/index.htm?job=service_home&id=private_land_radio

But freaked me out for a bit!
