 		I listed Saul's address as being in California, at least that's where I think it was... Do you guys remember if it was ever mentioned?

 		Can we try and have everything done by the next drop point so that we can start the spamming right at the drop point? This will give JC time to respond about the response and it would help to spam about red monday on a monday. What does everyone say?

Also, can someone make a youtube video based on redmonday...it dosent have to be good, maybe just some pics and symbols. Idk, but a youyube one seems pretty essential.

Yes, something mysterious like I said. I dunno about the drop point thing. Well, let's see, what do we have right now? A MySpace, a blogsot, a fotolog, a youtube account, the question web, what else? I say we start building the article as soon as possible. But, before that, we need JC to tell us what we can't mention... I guess we should start writing a draft tomorrow.

 		In hindsight monday seems impossible because if we are waiting for the approval and goahead of JC, we need to wait at least until after Monday because he ignores us on Sunday to do editing and prepare the drop and monday he will probably start help us edit it.

Anyway, letter to the nights from JC:

I'll leave it largely up to you, I just want to avoid flag words like
nuclear, bomb, terrorism etc in a way that would cause a panic. I guess it
would be better to say these words are not off limits, but we have to use
them in a way that's not going to scare the common people. Personally, I
liked Salsaman's suggestion of masking it in the context of a "game" (since
this is the pretext I've been using all along to communicate and coordinate
with you guys and keep from arousing too much suspicion):

"We should come up with something clever... maybe... doing exactly we've
been doing since we discovered red-monday.com: treat it as a game. Even if
we state that it's a game (which is what the regular people will believe),
the NCS from JC's reality would notice that we're including REAL stuff in
the game and they won't be able to deny that we DO know something. "

As for the message, focus on what we *do* know, and let the paranoids at NCS
fill in the rest (so they think we know more than we actually do).

We know "it's" happening on November 26th.
It seems to involve Saudi Arabia (and we have several candidates of who the
Prince is, and some photos of that shady looking facility).
China is somehow in the loop (we have multiple examples of China cropping up
in this whole mess)
There's evidence of some kind of cover-up, since the Saudi's never reported
the "Rabbit Hole" being raided.
AQ Khan is involved, and we've run accross references to nuclear
research/material/purchases throughout the whole thing.

The kicker (scary part) is that it's probably safe to say this has something
to do with the US... considering that the server I've been grabbing this
information from is located in the local Saudi Embassy network. Why would
the data be located on computers in the US, unless it has a direct relevance
to an "Event" that's supposed to happen here...

 		Ok, so, assuming everyone got JC's latest e-mail, we should proceed to create the article on the "game", the one that will be posted in http://rm.13lights.org/

I'll be writing a draft...

 		Thank you Smile
Are we going to be putting this in the knock off myspace/xanga/w/e cites as well or just on the official one.

I'd say just on the official one. Althought we could put up a little part of the article in all of them and then adding a link saying "Discover the truth, read more" or something like that.

EDIT: Ok, so here's my first draft, it's not that good, but it's a start, right?

Quote:
What is going to happen on 11-26-07?

The date, code-named Red Monday, will be the starting point for an internet-based game with the same name. This genre of entertainment, called ARG (Alternative Reality Game) relies heavily on character-player interaction, which includes making phone calls to real land lines, e-mailing web sites, solving riddles proposed by characters and even meeting them in live events.

Red Monday is a particular game. It's not the kind of game you'd have your 9-year-old nephew play.

It involves real people, some of them being highly suspected by intelligence organizations all over the world for various illicit activities, like AQ Kahn. News from the real world also affect the game's unvierse, such as Musharraf's decision to establish Martial Law, which is an important event on the political aspect of the game.

As you might've deduced for the last few comments, the game focuses on the fragile political and military balance in Middle East. But it doesn't stop there. China is suspected of being involved on the event too, which is majorly supported by information found on a chinese Embassy server. The asiatic giant has provided help to Afghanistan and several other countries in the region in various ways, which may lead to an armed conflict, which, given China's goal of becoming an important military power, is not unlikely to happen.

Based on information retrieved from a Saudi Embassy network, hosted on the US, we are coming to conclusions. Conclusions that some peole does not want us to know. And certainly, they're planning to keep everyone in the dark until it happens.


What do you guys think? What should be added/fixed/left out?

 		I like it, very well written. The only thing I would consider adding is a small segment on Saul Hernandez and also something about the NCA and especially link to Echelon.

I wouldn't know what to say about him. Maybe mention that he's informing us behind NCA's back, although they know exactly what is going on? Also, I like the idea of telling them about the Echelon and that they record phone conversations. I'm kind of busy right now, though, that's why I showed the draft.

 		Perhaps you could have at the top:

"My name is Saul Hernandez. My code name anyways. I work for the NCS."

To reinforce that Saul is writing it.

Umm, I say we wait, in case anyone wants to add something. I liked the idea of starting the article stating that we're Saul. I just don't know how to fit it in the text, though. If anyone wants to add something, just feel free to do it. If no one has said anything by tomorrow, I guess that'll be final.
