 		Okay, this is getting out of hand. The thread has exploded into about 10 more pages in one day, mostly because people are using the thread as a chatroom. This is really harmful to production because it makes it convoluted and confusing for other people to get involved (or people like me, who have to study for a test one night and then come back in the morning to a board of exploded phrases and speculations).

When I have time, which will probably be on Friday, I will create a blog devoted specifically to this project and our findings as a group. There will be a page listing contact information as well as regular updates as we find out new things. Updates will be chronological and easy to read, so anyone who wants to get involved at any point can just flip through all of it to get up to speed.

I have two finals this week (last one on Friday), so I will be very inactive until then, but I am very interested in making this game as accessible as possible to any users, especially those daunted by a 30+ page forum thread.

And, good luck to those ticking away at the current problems, I'm looking forward to getting back into business on Friday. Smile

 		THE AWNING
ok this maybe a long shot but who knows. i listen to the 2nd message for the 50th time and realized that mr. message man says that the WORDS you can read are the main part of the url. so unless you are hispanic than you should only be able to read and understand the handbags and sunglasses(right). ok so i searched google for "handbags and sunglasses web journal 6-25-07( the date should be the last time it was updated) and i got this site:
http://www.jeffreymaynard.com/Harrow_County/guestlog2001-2002.htm
and it has something about an ALAN whom is a journalist. i know its a long shot but anything new is better than nothing at all. please let me know what you think Smile

 		Mr. Green
Well apparently the guy is taking a liking to me and wants to talk with me about some of the issues at hand just giving you guys a heads up so all I ask is everyone to stop bombarding him with questions so hopefully he'll continue to talk. Appreciate you guys and like I said I'll keep you posted.

 		On the production website:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Sometimes OVERWATCH may seem very real.
OVERWATCH is about the blurry line between our individual realities and the realities that other people create for us. It is about how stories are sometimes more real than our own lives. It is about surveillance and some people knowing more than they should about your life.

Sometimes OVERWATCH may seem too real, but that's all part of the story. You are part of the story.


This would explain why details of whoever sent emails are showing up. You are now under serveillance?

 		its amazing
its amazing that the things that are now popping up are things that i have either come up with or suggested. the WORDS thing i posted yesterday, and the summary issue i posted today. does anyone actually READ these posts????? it seems like people just skim over the ideas and dont even notice ideas are there. read carefully so that people dont go over the same thing over and over.

also, as for the summary, i will have a thread UP TONIGHT outlining the story SO FAR FROM THE EVIDENCE PRESENTED. i will use these messages and documents PRECISELY and CRITICALLY to show how the story has moved forward. SPECULATION will be at a minimum, and if i DO speculate, i will LABEL it as speculation.

i think one of the main problems here is that people are just not paying attention to things said and posted, be they thread posts or document/audio file posts.

TONIGHT i will drop a line on here letting you all know that the thread is up and running.

 		 Launch of the blog!
Smile Here is the rough blog, without much added. Once someone gives me a list of who's involved, I can add it to the "Who" page.

I'll be working on it more as I find time, but it should all be up to date by Friday.

http://watchingover.wordpress.com

[EDIT:] Blackcobra: It would be very useful for you to create an outline of what's happened. Could I use the thread to post updates on the blog? I think we have the same idea about keeping information organized and not beating dead horses or making unnecessary repeats. Very Happy

 		1st YouTube Msg Transcript
Thank you to the guys who are putting this stuff into one, usable place. I went ahead a made a transcript of the 1st YouTube message, hope that saves a little trouble. I know that that trail has already moved on, but there may be something in there that helps later.

BEEP. No names. That's not important. I do systems for the Office of Internal Security and I've found out about a project we're running that I think is about to step way over the line. It's heavily compartmented, but I've been able to get to some of the files. The project is called Osprey and it looks like they're running it here in the States. I'm still trying to piece it together, but I think it's a sting operation of some kind. And I think they are using it to field test some of our new tech. I'm stashing the files as I get them. I'm using an old site from a project that they shut down a while ago. It's outside our firewalls, so you should be able to get to it. That project was called tradecraftjournal. All one word. The files are down in the site, you have to go to...oh, dammit. I think they're here. BEEP

 		last time I checked, this was a forum to discuss things.....

and my other misconception is that EVERYONE may participate in these games...not be led along by a few people that think they are in charge.

Anyone notice that there is a guy named SHARDS posting here, and a SHARDS video linked from dvdvlly's youtube profile? Lots of bad acting, about ppl that are not human (vampires?), on the list, chasing us, and to be ready when they find us. Interesting...

MY OWN OPINION of KMQ, has to do with KMQ Airport in Japan.

 		EVERYONE
alright, i have made two posts on my thread in the NEWS AND RUMORS section of this site. I have already outlined a small part of the story, and am going back in a tad to keep working on it. please read it to make sure i have made NO MISTAKES in my inclusion of ALL INFORMATION. please read the rules of how I am going about it, and please PLEASE DO NOT POST ON IT UNTIL I SAY THAT IT IS COMPLETE. If people start throwing ideas in there like here, it will become all that more confusing. IF YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH IT OR HAVE SUGGESTIONS ETC MESSAGE ME- do not post it on the thread. i hope this will help us all.

SARIA: id love to work with everyone on this as much as possible. please do use my thread to support your blog. its good to have an independent place for it in case something happens to the thread. thanks for your concern.

EDIT: also, let me know if you all would like a complete cast list at the end of the thread so that players can get all the info possible about each character. it will make it easier to id characters in the plot and just what they do and who they are in relation to each other.

thanks chinchin. anyone else?
i just included chinchin's transcript of the first message in my posts. if anyone else could do the same for the audio files we got from the tradecraftjournal, that would be awesome. if you dont know what those are, wait until my thread is done lol.

 		Mr Green
I just heard back from MR green and it seems they are putting an enourmous effort into finding Allen. So I suggest we track him doem before they do. They are also asking about YouTube messages. I have a feeling that if nothing turns up from their soon those resources might end up dissapearing if you know what I mean.

Just so everyone knows I have nothing to do with this^

But anyway, I found nothing at the 3 blog sites (myspace, google blogs, and ivillage) or in livejournal and webjournal but I wasnt able to do much/anything in the last two

 		Purloined Letter
I think you guy have a misinterpretation of the purloined letter. He's using the purloined letter to describe the situation of survallence secretivity that they are in and that their predicament is just like the purloined letter. I dont think he means that there are clues in the purloined lettet. Tell me what you think.
