[DC] Information from Brackin
Information that comes directly from Brackin that Foo might not know - and maybe shouldn't

Ok the way the game was going I asked the Unforum mods if we could have seperate threads for the Foos and the Brackins this thread is for the Brackins to post to each other and so the Foos wouldn't see spoilers unless they come here.. and we got moved to potential... Im a foo so I probably won't post here thanks....Wabonan

How exactly do you "choose" a "side"? Just send off an email? Saying what?

Not had much experience with ARGs. Except Perplex City. Very Happy

Brackin seems like a nice kinda random guy who hasn't actually done anything wrong. soooo....i'll hang out with him for awhile.

Brackin replying to my email after I ask if he has any access to the spectroanalysis code:

Quote:

AL Brackin to me
show details Nov 15 (19 hours ago)

No. I'm cut off completely now. But obviously Foo does... I've seen his transmission. I've had a number of others who are saying this same thing to me. I need you to FIND THAT BACK DOOR! Either gain Foo's trust or find someone who has it. I have to know what he is doing. Part of me believes this is all just a sick joke he is playing on us all.

i got a message very similar to dv8 here is the one i got
Quote:


Foo has never been out of the country - his parents met when they immigrated as I recall. See if you can contact this Montreal or one of the "first five" you describe. Show them the message that Foo sent you to gain their trust if you can without tipping your hand. One of them may be the key to this. Use their arrogance against them.

I am currently working on cracking into foos original spectroanalysis program - fortunately I have an early copy of it he gave me for review back in October. It's buggy, but if he hasn't made too many modifications with the final version then I SHOULD be able to piggyback off of his external feed without him knowing it.

That's assuming you succeed in locating his hack. Good luck.


this is after i forwarded him the following message i received from Foo

Quote:
"Based on what you know, it is obvious that you have been talking with one of the first five. Very good. I salute you for protecting his identity. I was told in the most recent transmission from the Deus City scientists that there would be more truth-seekers who would come to me. Welcome.

The initial proof from the spectrometer data log is secure with one of the first five and has been hidden. It is not yet safe for me to come from my hiding place. Help me protect the secret-keepers. Especially MONTREAL.

_Foo Defiant!


the big thing is that one of the first 5 has the spectrometer data log which is essential, the only problem is getting a copy of it im not sure if they would trust anyone just asking for it, but having Foo believe that we are with him i think is the beginning.

Man I leave for two days to play GEARS OF WAR and all of this happens well I am picking Brackins side. I never trust people from the future!!!! They know to much, which always puts me at a disadvantage. I need Brackin's E-mail address if someone could post it for me I would greatly appreciate it. I want to let him know he has someone else on his side.

Brackins email: albrackinSPLATgmail.com

I'm not too clear on how this thread and the one for Foo's supposed to work. Is the other one considered off-limits to us?

The only way I can see to doing this is to get a spy in the other camp. Would that be kosher? I mean, Brackin's encouraging it, but I dunno how that'd stand as far as arg-etiquette-appropriateness is concern. I mean, the entire point of setting up the different threads is to keep information separate.

I think that, ideally, it would be off-limits. But there's nothing to stop you having a look. It's just, as far as I can tell, a way to keep things to our own alliances to people that don't want spoilers, or something. *shrugs*

(Oh, and I'm immune because I don't officially have an alliance yet. Nyah.)

I'm in.

I suppose that we would do it as if it were reality. We cant post privaliged info but from as far as everyone on FOO's page is saying that this is all OOG on this forum. So I am confused. I guess we just cant send AL any info we find on UF.

The problem is that we are being asked to get information that Foo has trusted to his supporters, but since the information shared here are considered OOG, I don't see how we can get that info that way. We would have to consider some of the interaction between us Brackin loyalists and the Foo supporters to be in-game, in order for us to "legally" obtain that info. So that leaves gaining Foo's trust as our only course of action. That, or I've had too much coffee and am over-thinking this.

Tread carefully

Yes, information posted and discussions occuring on UF are OOG.

Characters cannot respond to posts. Players have to respect the TOS for UF. Can you read the other thread and not react? Other ARGs have tried to separate the players and feelings have been hurt. Be careful.

I don't think that we have to go as far as stepping on the Foofighters feet. I think we will have other opportunities to gather the info we need. Lets be patient and see what we get from Brackin. And we have the info that Foo himself posts on his blog page that should be good enough for now.
