Same here...last night I talked with localboy on AIM briefly...he acted as if he was "unaware", and acted somewhat strange. I was going to save the convo and post it but I accidently deleted it....apologies. Today I asked him about 8TSOC and his last response was "Please stop sending me messages"

-I don't know how and if he ties in, or is he calling our bluff? But, I did find a localboy on myspace. Is that unrelated?

-Oh, and I am gonna join some of these LJ's and such as I get caught up!

EDIT: Please feel free to add me to LJ: chrisjill86

The Localboy thing has always seemed odd, because he's always online and it seems like a SN that would've been registered long before WWO began. So I asked him point-blank:

MMOMordy: Is this you who posted on this page: http://worldwithoutoil.org/teamchat.htm?

Localboy: No

That's good enough for me. If anything, it's just a good example of what Jane was talking about when she said that ARGs force people to sift through the real world and try to determine what is useful and what is not. Unless new information comes up, I'm personally calling this SN a dead lead.

I've also tried to contact localboy but got no response. Although he seems to be online 24/7 he's not responding to any chat requests.

Morning all - I haven't been around this place or ARGs long, but I've been following this for a little while and think I'm also joining in this one, seems interesting and should finally encourage me to do some real blogging. I hope you guys don't mind me adding everyone I can find to the following LJ & Vox:

hope I can help.
Seems like there's quite a few of us involved by now Smile

Solar cooking

A couple of friends are building an Earthship. It's a house that's made, essentially, out of dirt, tires, bottles, and glass. It collects water, flushes it through the house in various stages that actually helps to maintain the energy efficiency of the house. And, of course, it uses solar energy. It's so efficient that it's may be possible to not only go off the grid but to create enough energy that you can add to it.

The idea fascinates me and we talked about doing it, but for a variety of reasons have decided against it. It makes me sad, but we're doing what we can to build a house with the smallest footprint possible. Yeah, we're a couple of hippies, but I think it goes beyond that now and leans into practicality.

I'm not one much for doomsday scenarios and, frankly, I'm not all that concerned about a world without oil - necessity is the mother of invention. We've got a strong capitalist society that is incredibly eager to cash in and I'm fairly confident in their ability to see us through the transition. And, frankly, I'm anxious to get off this oil addiction - it's pretty dirty business (both in terms of the Earth and Society) But, it's not just up to the corps, we can and should be doing our part to reduce energy consumption and be as earth friendly as possible.

And, while I'm getting all hippie freak on y'all - have you seen the talk about Second Life and how much energy your Avatar consumes? Tony Walsh of Clickable Culture (and Regenesis & Ocular Effect) wrote an [url="http://www.secretlair.com/index.php?/clickableculture/entry/open_letter_to_the_second_life_environmental_council/"] Open Letter to the Second Life Environmental Council[/url] and included the frightening thought that when the Brazilian version launches this week, those Brazilians that use it will be doubling their average energy consumption. What a waste.

(and forgive me if any of this has been posted here already, I've not been following the thread all that closely - just happened to notice Rose's mention of solar cooking)

This may be a stupid question...but is yuckymuck somehow related to gracesmom (sharon)? He keeps calling her "mom" on his and her LJ

lol Mom. She comes by my house at all hours wielding a cattle prod and a graphics CD. S. is always 'sure, go on back, he's just sleeping'... at least you're in NH Smile

It is made pretty clear that collaboration is one of the main points of this game, which is made pretty clear by the info found by memory of whitness:
