Just FYI I created a Vox blog, which will probably be as neglected as my blogger blog. I can't see any posts from Gala_Teah yet, so it didn't make a difference to the game yet. By the way, is Gala, Teah her name? Teah Gala?

And what is 8TSOC?

I got a pm from Gala_Teah Surprised

Quote:
I'm guessing you have a nice portrait of yourself in a red hat tucked away in your computer somewhere!

People seem to be seeking me out all of a sudden - it's a little disconcerting. -GT


So a little fun with my SN & a little comment on the attention she is sudenly receiving Smile I replied telling her not to be worried, we have heard about 8TSOC (8 to save our country) and want to help.

Gala_Teah speaks...writes

I got this in response to a message sent via VOX

Quote:
Hello mahanamatashi, you are an alert person, I see. And resourceful!


Not too early to begin thinking about it. Most of the preparation for anything is mental, don't you think?


You live in the UK, is that right? And petrol is already quite expensive? Your country is already somewhat prepared then, perhaps. There are not the crazy lives built upon cheap oil that we have here (I am guessing). -GT

It's cool that there is already contact from the characters, I also created a VOX blog, just as some place to keep in game references and material.

So sticking with AIM, I noticed that mPathytest was on today with the following away message ...

Quote:

Too many things on my To Do List to chat right now, 43 Very Important Things in fact.

Okay, maybe there's only 8 things so far on my list. But when one of them is "save the world", isn't that enough? I mean, really. :-!


And naturally that lead us to ...

http://www.43things.com/person/mPathytest

Quote:

save the world 831 people

finish my novel 547 people

Sneak into a wedding. 2 people

finish my robot 2 people

survive my long distance relationship 110 people

Move to New York City 479 people

get on battlestar galactica 2 people

I know this sounds really cliche but I want to defeat the evil cyborg from china with that mustach and the brown potato and become best friends with the tree of the woods with my best friend 2 people

very nice Insanitarium2006!

i'm sure these people are on other sites too...we've just yet to find them. did you check to see if any of the other user names were on the site?

edit:
just looked them all up there..no one else seems to be there. there is a chuckles but i am thinking it is a real person since it mentioend "2006" in one of their goals...but who knows.

i also tried them on myspace...some w/ the names are on myspace but all seem real and unrelated. myspace also kept giving my errors, so it might wanna be rechecked at a later point just in case.

Is it possible that Gala_Teah IS mPathytest?
Their only entry says they're sorry for January information blackout based on Nico's warning.

S/he seems to be a friend of Illiana Speedster

S/he also is the only member of the worldwithoutoil group which appears to be open for membership


Haven't looked for any of the other members, yet.

EDIT:
Grace's Mom in New Hampshire just added herself to the friends list and WWO group.

Another Blog group was set up but is now closed. Or maybe it's the same group and it really is closed. I'm not too familliar with LiveJournal.

Final Edit:
I see where RedHatty is now a member of thre group, so it must still be open. Dunno

Oh, wow! The game hasn't even started and we're already pulling information out from all over the place! Smile

Yes, a world without oil is a scary, scary thought... After Katrina... Well, we all saw what happened down there. (Except RedHatty, who was there--I can't imagine how that must have been for you.)

Uh... Are we assuming that the people on the left-hand side of the WWO main page are the 'ten' referenced in the chat? Because that would give us ten people.

Just wondering.

/me runs off to organize his Favorites and add people to his AIM list.

ETA:

M'kay, LocalBoy's online but away. I got back a generic message:

Quote:
Auto response from localboy: Your IM has been sent to my mobile device. When I receive it, I will be able to reply. Thanks for your IM! Want your IMs forwarded to your phone? Click here

Auto response from localboy: Your message could not be delivered. Please try again later.


ETA2:

mPathyTest is online. His profile has the following info.

Quote:
Today's mantra: Safety in numbers! Today's mission: Take my poll!

Which science fiction writer are you?

(I'm James Tiptree, Jr. -- aka Alice B. Sheldon)


I tried chatting with him before he went into 'away,' but to no avail. Too bad I can't seem to get an away message out of him.

ETA3:

Dropped them my email when they were online on AIM, and got this email recently.

Quote:
From: "Evie King"
Code:
mpathytestSPLATgmail.com

Date: 2007/03/12 Mon PM 09:33:16 CDT

Subject: getting ready...

are you ready for withdrawal?

a few of us at 8TSOC have been fixated on this article since Nico first dropped the bomb at the Denver Airport...

well, I wasn't there... but I've been fixated on this article since the 8TSOC gang called me, desperate for help!

Had a very strange AIM convo tonight - not sure if this is a player or what... I did get a tad snarky at the end because i was really getting tired of the leads of "I have info you don't but I'm not sharing" type interaction
Quote:
HammerSickle08: Greetings!
originalredhatty: hello
HammerSickle08: I am Cordrey. While this may seem somewhat forward, I was curious about 8TSOC and any information you could share about it.
originalredhatty: ummm, are you part of the 8? or just following along?
HammerSickle08: I've been in contact with one of the members, and I'd like to do what I can to help - but I want to learn what you could share with me.
originalredhatty: it is an ARG entitled WorldWithout Oil, are you aware of that?
HammerSickle08: Yes
originalredhatty: Kewl Okay
originalredhatty: It officially launches at the end of April, we have managed to find a little of the sites involved in the game
HammerSickle08: Ahh - you're a player not a character then?
originalredhatty: yes, a player
HammerSickle08: I have uncovered some things on my own within the past two days myself.
originalredhatty: join our forum & discuss it with us - the thread starts here http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=18592
HammerSickle08: How could I contact Gala_Teah - my progress has lead me to believe that that happens to be the next appropriate step in understanding exactly what is going on with this ARG
originalredhatty: like I said, it doesn't officially launch until the end of April, but Gala_teah is an AIM sn
HammerSickle08: That hasn't logged in thus far.
HammerSickle08: As of two days ago at least.
originalredhatty: the game hasn't started yet
originalredhatty: did you visit worldwithoutoil.org yet?
HammerSickle08: Yes
HammerSickle08: and I've uncovered some interesting stuff
originalredhatty: the launch date is April 30, 2007
HammerSickle08: Not really
HammerSickle08: There is work to be done now
originalredhatty: well come over to the unfiction forum & share what you have found
originalredhatty: and read what we have found
HammerSickle08: I've read what you guys have uncovered - I've discovered all of that and more; Through my discoveries I found you actually.
originalredhatty: I was just at a gaming convention and i am looking at the card given to us about the game & it is printed right on it start>april 30, 2007
originalredhatty: not hard when I have been made a friend of the characters on live journal
HammerSickle08: Well obviously - but did you know that mPathytest is not part of the 8?
HammerSickle08: I can tell you who the other "extra" is - and the role that each plays - and that they're conspiring with one another over some "crazy ideas"
originalredhatty: there are 10 characters according to inky.jewel
HammerSickle08: But only 8 to save the world
originalredhatty: so why don't you post what you know on the forum?
originalredhatty: or can't you?
HammerSickle08: Why wouldn't I be able to?
originalredhatty: TOS if you are actually a character
HammerSickle08: Maybe I will.
originalredhatty: I know on the card i have these characters are listed: gala_teah, chuckles, inky.jewel, gracesmom, yucky muck, localboy, pachinko
originalredhatty: and Nico is mentioned
HammerSickle08: Have you had contact with Nico?
originalredhatty: oops and illiana.speedster
originalredhatty: no contact with Nico yet, i don't think anyone has reported contact yet
originalredhatty: i did have a very small interaction with gala_teah
HammerSickle08: via AIM?
originalredhatty: no, livejournal
HammerSickle08: Anything important said?
originalredhatty: no
originalredhatty: didn't expect anything important as it LAUNCHES on April 30
HammerSickle08: Haha
HammerSickle08: Do you know mPathyTest's name?
originalredhatty: no
HammerSickle08: I have the first name
originalredhatty: great, come join the community on the forum & share
HammerSickle08: Maybe
originalredhatty: look, I am in the middle of a puzzle solve with another game, I really don't have the time or energy to play chase around the bush with you, you are most welcome to come to the forum & share what you know, but I am not going to play games with you over it, especially when it hasn't even launched
HammerSickle08: One last question?
originalredhatty: sure
HammerSickle08: Do you know exactly what is supposed to happen on April 30th? What disaster etc.
HammerSickle08: excluding "the game launches"
originalredhatty: some oil crisis
HammerSickle08: Thanks
originalredhatty: yw


ETA: apparently this is a player - they left a comment on mPathyTest's live journal & have one of their own
