 		I believe the reason we have been doing conferences in YIM and not posting here until after the email was sent was to prevent the PM from getting any clues as to the riddle. I understand that they aren't supposed to use any info they see here, but come on they are human...I will leave it at that. This is the firs ARG I have seriously participated in so it is still a learning experience for me. I will go with the majority, which is what we had at our first conference. Unfortunitly very few decided to come to the other conferences, so we did what we thought was best. Confused

 		I don't think we really need to worry about Remliel anymore. She didn't show to the first conference and now the safe place is gone. So I don't really see how she is involved with us anymore, PM or no.

I wouldn't e-mail the Nathan imposter back. I know it would be kind of fun to talk to a potential demon, or to try and get Falthis in trouble, but Bobby told is specifically not to e-mail back and I think it wisest to listen.

 		Email from Bobby:

Quote:
Yes the Safehouse has been compromised unfortunately. The only thing I can think is that it is one of Sandra' s friends working on Nathan's Computer they confiscated. Please do not answer any emails from Nathan. As for Nathan he is stopping again although very little at this time. He is still not fully recovered from Falthis's treatment and the "reconditioning" he went through upon his return. I watch over him as much as I can. He still thinks I care nothing for him. I wish I could tell him about the plan, I may be able to soon if his stopping powers keep growing. Once he is able to stop the internal link with the traveler's passing over I will be able to fill him in without fear of being discovered. As for Falthis I have heard him cursing in his quarters, so I must assume he is fully enjoying the challenge you sent him. He still suspects that someone on this side helped you all by telling him his least favorite type of puzzle. His searing eyes burn towards me the most, I fear I may have to confront him soon. Please remind all of your friends to be careful what they say


So I would say definitely do not respond to that email.

Rogi, I thought your riddle was really good. If he solves this one I think we should definitely consider it for the next round.

I guess we just wait now to see if he solves it or gives up!


Sorry rogni, i assumed you were one of the people. You know what they say about assuming. lol. and btw, i liked yours too.

Guys, you can have the conference but any ideas you come up with should be posted here so everyone will be in the know and everyone has a say as to which is the best. You guys are taking it for granted that everyone has approved of your choices. Rogi and Macavity had great ideas and those should have been given the same weight as the one that was sent. Personally, I think everything should be oked here on this thread before any final actions are taken. To do otherwise, takes away from the team we are suppose to be here at uF. As far as the rude email from the PM about sending multiple challenges to Falthis, I would like to say this, keep that up and you will lose players. But if you only want a few then continue in that fashion and you will get what you want. Just my 2 cents.
I definatly agree with the confrence part. The only reason we left the confrence out lately is because of this reason:
Consider if we put a vigenere and the key on uF for everyone including the PM to see. In the story falthis is supposed to solve the riddle. However, even if the PM ligitly solves the riddle, we blame him of using information so in order to not turn players away he has to alter the whole story.

That is the one case secrecy was a must, however i did post that it was decided that i was sending the email and that was the only othere thing productive that happened in the confrence.

However i will not blame the rude email on the PM, we got to keep in mind that htis is a game and he has to stay in charcter, even if it means staying angry. Keep in mind, this is a game for us, reality for him. And 3 peoples lives are at stake, not mentioning humanity in general Razz

 		The conferences are definitely useful and fun, as they let us collaborate live-- however, I agree with previous posters that it seems best to post all puzzles here as well before we send them off, so that everyone has a chance to give their input.

As for the worry that the PM's may see/use the solutions posted here, we can always either not post solutions (just the puzzle/code/whatever), or post solutions that are zipped using the answer as the password, like Rogi did.

Arguably, this still gives the PM's a headstart on solving, since they can see what puzzles we're tossing around, but hopefully we're good enough puzzle-smiths that an extra day or two's head start won't matter. Smile

 		Actually, I sent a response to "Nathan" - but all it was was a fake autoresponder-type deal.

Quote:
AUTORESPONSE: This station is non-operational.

Cryptosystem upgrade cycle has commenced.

Independent Faction Relay Station Alpha is currently non-operational.

You will be notified once the upgrade cycle has been completed.

 		mmmhh actually this is the second thing that you can't do and you do anyway.......
the fact that just one riddle has to be sent to Falthis was absolutely clear, and the fact that nobody has to answer to the fake Nate's email too....
