 		Hi, I have never played an ARG from the start, so I am hopeful this is something. What has happened so far?

I'm going to recommend that you read all previous 10 pages.

That being said, I am not fond of the idea of the PM contacting "players" to emphasize that they are not posting here. Doesn't seem right in a way as it takes away from the reality in alternate reality.

My apologies. This was likely in response to our disabling the PM's uF account. However, I would have preferred a reply to my email rather than his communicating this through the players.

 		I just did a google search for some text from the poem at http://www.freewebs.com/ootg-liliana/silence.htm and found what I assume is its origin: http://www.sffworld.com/authors/z/zammit_stefanie/poems/humandestruction.html. The title is "Human Destruction" by Stefanie Zammit. Not sure where to go from here though?

EDIT:
Searches for the text of the linked poem. It appears to be a fragment of a longer poem at http://www.angelfire.com/ok5/gigglessk/cry.html.

Searches for segments of the poem on http://www.freewebs.com/ootg-liliana/Abouttheprincess.htm turned up nothing.

Both source pages look like they've been around for a while and don't seem to be related to the game. Perhaps the PM just used the poem text?

The only change apparent to me is that the poem at http://www.freewebs.com/ootg-liliana/canyounotsee.htm is shortened. The remainder of the poem is:

But can't get out
can't escape the pain I feel inside.
Isn't it enough for you
sure it's enough for me
I'm bottled up inside myself
no room left to breathe.
Can't even cry for help
there's nothing left for me
I'm twisted and turning
I'm inside out
and yet I can't get out
can't reach out
There's nothing left of me.

 		Nothing new from my side, story wise. But I had some spare time to sketch up something.


This was done -before- seing the website update about the Princess. I drew her with short hair, and native-like clothes.




And this one was after the update.




Yes, I know, anatomy is horrible, especially with her arms. D: I really need to pratice more.

 		Ahah, I just sent those to the Child.

10 bucks she'll say "I'm prettier than this!" or call me scum and throw the "gifts" against my face.


Guh, brain needs to sleep.

 		anyone else been given a task yet - i just received one saying this:

Quote:
Hello! I have been given the task of telling you all of your current mission to gain the Princess's trust. Attached to this email, is a poster that is to be handed out our put out in public somewhere. To be accepted among the ranks, you must take photos of yourself either handing these papers out or putting them in public places.

If you are receiving this email without having spoken to our Princess yet, that is because you have caught her eye. She will not be responding to any emails for a while, as she is creating a grand game for you all to play together.

Kind wishes,

Roberto, OOTG PR



I like the "our one true god public relations" Smile


anyway the poster I was given is this:

Ok, here is the chat:

me:

Quote:
Thank you Roberto - I will do my best to please the princess.


Roberto:

Quote:
Ha ha, I must say I'm excited to have gotten a reply. I haven't been sleeping much more than 2-3 hours a day, because I do all of the art for these posters. I will be churning out a few more in the next week, if any of you new recruits would rather wait for them.

How have you been lately? Tell me a bit about yourself, I don't get enough human interaction.

Roberto, OOTG PR


me:

Quote:

Well, my name is Sean, im 18 and I'm a hockey player / nerd! The poster is very good, I'm just wondering where the best place to post it will be - it will take some brainstorming for me. Can you tell me anything about yourself? Perhaps anything about the princess and the one true God? We've gotten little information so far but enough to start piecing stuff together I think.


Roberto:

Quote:
Well, I am given the strictest instructions that only She may speak of God to you all, I'm sorry.

I am merely a fan of art. I am the one who makes The Princess' words more beautiful for her website. I am used, run ragged, for my purpose, and I am likely to die soon. You see, I only met on of the characteristics, and so I am merely a work horse.

I don't mind, though, anything for our God.


me:

Quote:
I as well didnt match the characteristics - what makes you so faithful if your simply a peon in our God's eyes?


Roberto:

Quote:

My punishment is due to a transgression in a past life, I am sure of it. The Princess says I was probably a Godless rapist once.


Me:

Quote:
But how can you be sure? This blind faith is astounding, even I have my crisis of faith every once in a while. Have you ever considered you were meant for something bigger or perhaps this "Utopia" that your being forced to work in is real and worth it?


Roberto:

HERE IT COMES YOU READY??

Your lack of faith disturbs me and will be reported to the princess.




Code translates to:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I HEAR YOU , BROTHER , BUT I FEAR I AM BEING WATCHED ? WE ALL ARE ? THE GOD WATCHES US ALL , AND REPORTS BACK TO HER ?

Please forgive me! I am with the princess! I must find the Utopia whether i am a peon or not!!


That code reads:

I am with you Brother. I am here to infiltrate. I am working with The Truth. Is there a safer way we can communicate?

I shall forgive you this time.

NO , SIR , NOT YET ? LOOK FOR THE CRY OUT OF HELPUS ? HELPUS ? HELPUS ?

Thank you - it would be terrible for me to look blasphemous and unworthy in the Princess' eyes


That code reads:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Where and when can I expect to hear this calling out for help? Is there any more information you can pass along?


Roberto:

That is indeed something to be afraid of.

THE CALLING FOR HELP IS ALREADY THERE ? BE AWARE THAT NOT EVERYONE WHO SAYS THEY ARE ON OUR SIDE , TRULY IS ? THERE ARE EVEN SOME AMONGST YOU WHO HAVE TRULY TURNED TO THIS WHORE OF A CHILD ?

Well, Roberto, I certainly enjoyed our talks tonight. I'm sure I will be contacting you again soon but I have a midterm to take in 6 hours and I'll need my rest Smile

Goodnight sir


That code reads:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I as well have seen people turn to the princess with true belief. Her idea of a Utopia is an interesting and seductive idea. Please, if there is any more information or if you'd like to contact me, you can catch me on AIM under the name: tehmasterplan.



Looks like seany found something Smile


edit: You guys need to sleep less and get on this topic more!!
edit2: more of the conversation + im going to bed now
