go for the gold

I agree Mcgritts, we have tried every dangling carrot in the book. We have tried naturalism, perfidious tempting, begging, thematic references and so on and such forth and yet a serious a meaningful dialogue escapes us. Even when we initiate dialogue with them that we have been 'told' to we are diverted, deluded and generally raved at. I can't see that we have anything left to lose to be honest. Schrijvertje even created a stunning blog full of caveats and ingame temptations but it failed to raise much acknowledgement. It's all guns blazing now as far as I can see
UPDATE Another DJ centric video is up, again it moves this mystery forward slightly but no big answers to the crucial questions. The PM's are certainly consistent, small teasers, little hints and slow revelations are the key to this.

I still struggle with the 'fits and starts' scenario. Either Hendler updates,
or Hope updates, or Youtube is awash with videos yet they never seem to happen concurrently. If I didn't know better I would swear that a single PM is running this, playing each character one day at a time. I guess we are back to the DJ thread, the guy that forged our way to the whole mystery yet he remains the most difficult (along with Marshal) to get any coherent replies from.

If I sat long and hard about this I could think of a hundred incongruent aspects to this, unanswered questions, random sites that lead to nothing, messages unanswered, videos that reveal little, replies that do little or nothing to further our understanding of the site that prompted this mystery. We're either missing some vital aspect, communicating in the wrong way or simply the pawns of a reactionary experience that has no cohesive beginning, middle and end.

Poor old Fizz's head is aching!

i cant help but think maybe were missing something??a puzzle?a clue?something...and i agree back Fizz we need to get Dj to talk..and like i said earlier Marshal who? maybe were missing something with cornerstoretech site? like why is there member login if its down? i can see having some links but theres notthin but the login iv tried puttin in names (Dj wiggles) and got notthin maybe i missed something?

ShutmeUp

[Schrijvertje]

McGritts, what's that last message you posted? Is that from Marshal?

Busy night this time. I got some of my messages answered!

Here's Hope on DJ:

[Schrijvertje]

[fizzcharlson]

Morning(ish) Gang!
Guess how many responses I got? Go on have a guess?
Zero.
None.
Nothing.

Not one of my numerous enquiries was answered in the flurry of emails last night. At least it was nice to catch up on the story through your responses, interesting stuff but really an affirmation of what we had already guessed.
I did post the link to DJ letting him know where Hope keeps her videos. I thought that might raise some interest but I guess there's time yet.
Oh well, guess the PM's don't like me much

Hi Gang,
Done a little digging around as I too was unfamiliar with term 'The VA'. Whilst it could refer to numerous organisations the constantly recurring online use of 'The VA' seems to refer to The United States Department of Veterans Affairs - knows as the VA.

It would seem that this organisation provides benefits and support for veterans which includes compensation, pension, education, home loans, life insurance, vocational rehabilitation, survivors' benefits, medical benefits and burial benefits. Clearly if Marshal is using the term in this way then he is indicating that Hendler is formerly of the military.

Would be interesting thus to gauge Hendler's age. For a man to have a career in the military, gained two degrees (one in language, one in physics), obtained a Phd, established a respected career in astronomy and gained and held two teaching posts in University education this man would have to be of advanced age?

I wounder why Marshal indicates that Hendler should only be receiving money from VA benefits, as far as we know he is currently, or at least until very recently, teaching both physics and romance languages at University, would this not be where he receives his income? As well as a clear indication that he is a publishing writer on astronomy?

I wonder if VA is what I've taken it to mean?

Got an e-mail (through Myspace) this morning from Marshall/Lachlan:

[fizzcharlson]

I've had something similar thegirlwho. I don't think Marshal is indicating that we work with Johnny in a covert sense, simply do we work with him in an occupational sense. I'm not sure he's implying that he doesn't trust him.

[Schrijvertje]

Don't know why Marshal would mention me and McGritts in this way. Perhaps he considers us two most succesful in figuring stuff out? Doesn't seem fair, though, because Fizz has put in a lot of effort as well.

Got some more replies in. It's really moving forward, it seems. I just hope it won't mean a long period of silence - such things have happened before.

First of all, Marshal sent me this:

[Mokey Fraggle]

[fizzcharlson]

I get it now Mokey, I think the VA thing got lost in translation. I'm assuming it's used in the US in much the way we refer to the 'dole' in the UK. I guess I dug deep with little reason. Enjoy the beach though! If only we had the weather for it

I have emailed Marshal to try and probe further what exactly it is that Hendler objects to. Numerous 'articles' have been mentioned by him with disdain but they have covered such wide and diverse topics as metaphysics, physiology, psychology and ecology and to be honest I'm not sure where Hendler's objections truly lie. Does he believe that solar phenomena are simply nothing more than mildly interesting events or does he subscribe in some lesser or greater degree to them having some effect on all or some of the above subjects. To deny that the heavens are capable of having physiological and psychological effects is ignorant of established psychiatry, he must believe to some extent that this is possible. I've also emailed Hope to probe further why DJ never gave a reason for his split for her and to be a honest a host of other people. Email frenzy on the Fizz front.

MARSHALS THE MAN

[fizzcharlson]

Go the Green Lantern Mcgritts! I'm a huge comics fan, Hal Jordan was always my favourite but I guess that's another forum entirely.

I've been pondering these constant references to 'working with Johnny', as far as I am aware that's three of us that have received this question. Without knowing what Johnny has said to Marshal I cannot deduce it's origin but I have at least informed him that no-one is working with anyone and that he is at least to treat us as independent entities. I'm sure that we can achieve more if Marshal believes he is communicating with individuals with different goals, interests, theories and specialisms than some sort of conglomerate acting with a common goal or vested interest. Where the notion that anyone is working with anyone has arisen I have no idea. I can only assume that we may have made reference to something that Johnny received in an email so Marshal is wondering how this information became public. Maybe it is in our best interests that we try to keep our responses appropriate to the emails we receive only. Not sure if this is anything worth contemplating?

Been reading the info that Marshal sent you McGritts. God why did I not do an astronomy degree. Grrr

Ooops. Got the to physiological data supplied by Marshal which recounts numerous studies relating to the influences of solar activity upon neurological physiology. It notes numerous studies that unveil results that afford solar activity with the power to affect dopamine, seratonin and numerous other monoamine neurotransmitters. Whilst I hate to appear all Hendler-esque these studies are confined to the cabinet marked 'witchcraft' in the accepted psychiatric communities thinking. Trust me on this one. I can't comment on the rest but makes me wonder who is the crackpot in all of this? We still haven't had any clear and concise evidence to suggest that Hendler is wrong.

There's even reports on solar activity affecting the incidences of breast malignancies. If I had thirty pages I could argue against this but I don't. Do you think I am reading too much into this by analysing the science? Whilst I acknowledge that the lunar cycle has effects upon the organic and inorganic wellbeing of mankind and various planetary anomalies have recorded some detectable influence upon mainly inorganic abnormailities some of what is stated in that document is as wild as Hendler suggests it is.

Headache time again I guess. I'm actually hoping I can use this to my advantage as biological health is my field. I've told them a few white lies and indicated that my field is in the arts, to lull them into a false sense of security, with Hendler's headaches rapidly emerging as part of the mytharc I may well find my usefulness.

It seems things are moving rapidly though but as Johnny notes
