[INTERACTION] Seger aka Pi in the Sky
Who wants a slice...?

No direct communication but it bears mentioning that Seger now has three agents listed as trusted on his profile page. Not sure if this indicates that he has picked three of his five chosen agents or not though. I certainly did not solve any puzzle unless the puzzle was finding the article itself. I just messaged him telling him that he has my respect and that I admire his work. I am sure more will be coming soon. Also, just copying this from the Brackin thread:

Quote:
notgordian said:The new black karma account "RLSeger" is owned by Robert Seger. If you watch his video, it shows a pie dropping down and Pie in the Sky talks. Gee, where have we seen Robert Seger before? Oh yeah, the article about the Corporate Eighters was about the arrest of Ruberto L Seger. Further evidence: take a look at the number he's holding in the picture. It's pi. RLSeger's profile video issues a challenge to follow clues and puzzles to be one of five, which I would assume is similar to the Gatekeepers from the beginning of the game. From his description, it would seem to function the same as that group was supposed to work, if 3/5 members didn't quit the game for a variety of reasons.

I'm one of the three he friended too...I wrote him and mentioned his Ruberto L Seger identity and said I was interested in hearing more.

I assumed the last sentence that was hard to hear on the video was him asking for us to find his name as the first "puzzle"--which is why I told him his name and asked him about the Corporate Eighters.

Fun piece of info

Remember agent Hook when you wrote the little article that was captured by the Underground and posted? Well, Bishop wrote something interesting when he was yelling at us that NotGordian reminded me of:
Quote:
WHAT THE HELL?
by Bishop (03/15/07 at 11:27 AM)
Reply Are you guys trying to get us all locked out of the system? I just got a seriously nasty letter From AD Prince himself saying something about a communication to ME about this stuff sent by one of you!! I never got any "underground resistance letter from the past" and I DON'T WANT ONE! Also if you want me to be your handler you need to watch yourselves - Its not like I care what you say here - most of you guys are too much of a risk to even get noticed and half the temporal error stuff you see gets completely buried on our end - like some guy named "Pi?" what's that all about? Anyways I'm just saying don't do anything... um rash to ME ok? I work for a living dammit! Yeesh.

I thought nothing of his spelling Pi like that, but now???? I think it was either a PM slip or a clue of some sort

Yup. I pointed that out on the Bishop thread but everyone just shrugged it off as "Bishop just being Bishop"

Shows you all! :p

New info:

In the placeholder text for todays ad, is some morse code:
-.-- --- ..- / .-- .. .-.. .-.. / . .- - / -... -.-- . / .- -. -.. / -... -.-- . / .. -. / - .... .- - / --. .-.. --- .-. .. --- ..- ... / .-.. .- -. -.. / .- -... --- ...- . / - .... . / ... -.- -.-- / .-- --- .-. -.- / .- -. -.. / .--. .-. .- -.-- / .-.. .. ...- . / --- -. / .... .- -.--

Which translates to:
YOU WILL EAT BYE AND BYE IN THAT GLORIOUS LAND ABOVE THE SKY WORK AND PRAY LIVE ON HAY

Lyrics from a song "The Preacher and the slave" written by Joe Hill in 1911. Coincidentally enough, it was the place that the phrase "pie in the sky" was introduced.

And as I check the responses to the ad, I see that Agent Hook has beat me to it, good show! But I'll post this here just to be sure.[/spoiler]

LOL when i saw the translation, I jumped up and down literally. I remember when Pie first came into play and I looked up those lyrics. It's a very apropriately referrenced song. Those of you that didn't see before, I posted all of the lyrics first time, i suggest you go look.

Video Transcription

Here's a transcription of the video in Seger's profile. The last word is impossible to hear, although I assumed it was "name", since it appears to be a single syllable.

Quote:
OK. I'm gonna have to make this short and sweet. They're cracking down on us. The Underground. I know a few of the people who have been hit, and I don't want to know what they've been going through.

So anyway, I'm going to be looking for five people
I'm going to be looking for five people
If you're interested, look for me. You'll see clues. You'll find puzzles. Figure them out. There'll be ways to contact me. And out of the five, one--one--will be entrusted to helpl me. To further my cause. I gotta hurry up. I gotta hurry up. I don't know how long I'll have. Until I can get to a more secure location this transmission's gonna have to end soon.

Just know the first clue in the first puzzle you're gonna have to find out my ????

Well, unlike all of you, he DOESN'T trust me Very Happy

He did send me a reply, though, since I had asked if he likes morse code (since all of the messages embedded in the ads in the game were in morse code.) He replied:
010000100110010100100000011100110111010101110010011001
010010000001110100011011110010000001100100011100100110
100101101110011010110010000001111001011011110111010101
110010001000000100111101110110011000010110110001110100
01101001011011100110010100101110

Which means "i don't like dots or dashes...numbers are good.�"

I don't know if he's throwing me off, since I'm red karma and all that, but I figured it'd be nice to let you all know he's polite enough to respond, especially since he doesn't trust me.

I contacted him a few days ago and haven't heard back from him and I'm green so I don't think his trust is based on karma color.

Allrighty then, that will teach me to post here before checking the interface. I did indeed hear back from him:
Quote:
rlseger says: what name do you give to your compatriots and yourself?


I responded:
Quote:
To rlseger: We have gone by many names; The Brotherhood, tCotSA, Sodalitus Nostradamus to name but a few. We are seekers of the Truth.


Let's see where it goes.

Wavecrest, maybe it means he's got a thing for old movies (I.E. A Christmas Story) or old radio (The Adventures of Little Orphan Annie) Laughing

Yup. He sent me a binary message as well. Telling me to try and avoid violent revolution as best as I can, basically.

Binary Message
Received when I became Trusted

OK - I got a binary message form rlseger, which translates to:

Quote:
i need confidence in people who seek me out. I need to know that I can trust and that you will not fall, that if questioned you will not lead them to me. do you have the confidence and the fortitude to be in my circle.

i like your answer, but if you discover a second puzzle, will you be steadfast in your response?

-r l seger


I saw it yesterday and thought it was weird but somehow it didn't quite spark on first glance, but I have today actually realised that his second clue is in the news article.

GREY DISTRICT

In the pic, you will see a pie chart and if you zoom in you will see it is a report about fuel, there is also a bar chart.

I have dropped him a message explaining that it is meaningless without units, or a report that goes with it, I'll let you know what I hear.


Brum


Editted to Add - If this wasn't his second puzzle then I feel relieved for missing it in the first place!

Posting the Image

Posting a copy of the Image - Just in case it is important.

I'll remove it if it turns out to be unrelated.

His puzzles have been pretty simple thus far. I think if that is related it is just his attempt at showing where his solidarity lies. He is not with the Brotherhood but he is Underground. He uses IWW rhetoric and songs. Thus he is - like myself - organized with the labor movement. He is the other side of the Underground.
