 		Coffee, I think we're going to stay away from the Skype contact for now, but we need to discuss it.

We're in the UF IRC chat. If you don't know how to use that, we can also chat on AIM or MSN. Whatever works for you.

 		Reference: The New Trailhead and decisions for moving ahead
http://www.twitter.com/royalthames page back to the beginning, RT provided a summary and documents
Alright, we had 3 of the current 4 in the chat. We'll post the key points here but go ahead with whatever the consensus is.

Consensus:
Point 1: Trailhead. RoyalThames's Twittering provides the new trailhead. He provided links and summary of the story to date. If anyone wants a recap of the work we did to get here, it is at coffeebean36.wordpress.com

Point 2: Meta. This game is much more like interactive fiction than a linear puzzle solving game. To date we have treated it like all the characters share our interests and will provide us with whatever information we need to move ahead. This is clearly not the case. (cf. John Green plainly being an antagonist; Germain dropping out of the game due to ideological conflict with us.)

Therefore we will adopt roles for ourselves. Coffee, Surf, and me decided that we now represent a private investigating agency: UnderwatchPI. We discussed our talents: Zizka seems most like a jack of all trades and willing to communicate with IG characters; Surf has a lot of technical expertise, especially with ciphers, also willing to communicate with characters; Coffee is good at minding the details and record-keeping...if she's following this; I seem to have a head for Search and keeping track of the broader story.

We'll consult with each other before choosing any big actions, unless there is some sort of obvious immediacy.

Point 3: Following the newest leads. Surf called Mike, left a message with the reference number and an email to reach us. Any email that is sent there is automatically forwarded to coffee. Surf has also set the address to notify him via text message of new mail. He will notify us via twitter so we can check the inbox.

I expect Mike to reply to us with something like "who the hell are you? how did you get this number? etc." Depending on the tone we'll have to figure out what to say. Probably something along the lines of us being PIs tracking a missing person, AP, at the behest of one of his SXSW acquaintances. AP is now dead, we suspect foul play, but do not think Mike did it. We would like Mike to provide us with any relevant information to help our investigation.

We would love to have some new players...we've reached kind of a milestone and what's already happened can be recapped without too much effort. All y'all can jump right in.

 		Edit: Point was taken care of...Surf already contacted Karla re: AP's last post.

We definitely have some questions for someone to answer. RoyalThames, I'm looking at you.

 		skype
There is no one by the name matius.wolf on SKYPE. I wasn't trying to contact him, just searched for the name.

So, we will have to be pleasant to MtP when he emails, because we have no other contacts. (unless you count Cathy in LA, or some guy named Steven, ha)

I work in the Investigative Underwatch Division .... that's IUD(contraceptive device.....lmao It's a good thing I'm not following this!)

I'd lay odds this is a new and unrelated trailhead.

also, I failed to mention earlier: It's good to be back at the top of the page. Very Happy
