 		Do you guys think that we just have to wait the two weeks they mention in the video?

 		I have just emailed Skyler asking about her little adventure right now, and told her I thought she had 2 weeks until they move Sawyer again (if they do that at all)

 		Not me. I'm wondering... There was an agent before in the forum (agentstencler), whose mail was shadystencSPLATgmail.com, but his mails were signed by Dan Stencler. Now we get a CorpGuy, whose mail is DanCorpGuySPLATgmail.com, may there be a relationship?

 		I haven't heard anything, but if I do, I'll let you know.

Raises a reasonable question, though. How do you let people know it's a game without saying it? I mean, if I were to just read the site, knowing nothing about ARGs, I'd be pretty freaked out by the stuff we're posting too...

Here's hoping it's not another game-jack attempt.

 		I sent Dan an email last night, and got a response. It was meant to be an OOC email, so.. Confused

Me to Dan:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The website 'www.conspiracyasylum.com' is part of an Alternate Reality Game(ARG). It is a mystery game that takes place on the internet and real life. This particular one was created by a company called Fundi Games. Nobody is being hurt/kidnapped/killed, so please don't be alarmed by anything said in the videos or on the site.

For more information about ARGs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate_reality_game

And please, for the sake of gameplay, it would be appreciated if you didn't post on the Conspiracy Asylum site about it being an ARG.
If you're just a player adding to the gameplay, apologies for the email.


Dan to me:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Ms. Kamiya,

Honestly, do you truly believe you are playing a mere game? At least, the resources that seem to be in use are more than adequate than a game would require. And at the very least, the hacking requirements seems rather large for something so petty. More importantly, you say that no one has been hurt or kidnapped and this may be true. I find myself unconvinced that this Sawyer character is really being held captive and then videotaped on the Internet. But that's rather a minor point that has no bearing on my situation. Personally, I suspect that this Sawyer person is simply toying with your beliefs that this is a game.

It would be more beneficial to me if I could get more information about the administrators of this site. Indeed, if this Sawyer person is captured, who is maintaining this website?

- CorpGuy

 		There's a point in there. We have been supposing Sawyer posts the videos. But... last 2 videos were posted by someone else, obviously. And the one who is recording them, we don't know who it is either. The one interrogating Sawyer asks him "who" is releasing the videos, and how are they getting them.

Maybe... and we are entering the sci-fi channel here...
[SPEC]The videos are being recorded from somewhere else (using some tele-recording thing), or from sometime else? Maybe they're being recorded from the future, and then being sent to us?[/SPEC]

Well, I don't know, I'm just taking the videos for granted but they must come from somewhere...

 		Well I'm at someone else's computer, so I can't have a bunch of windows up, but needless to say I emailed Skyler. Apparently she's been talking to none other than Ms. Hook at least to get some pointers for staying down south wherever she is. Then she said something about Sawyer saying the time stuff wasn't true. So I was a bad girl and played both DC and CA together. I figure it's getting pretty interlocked, so I'm gonna play myself as close to the end of DC as I can (before I went crazy from boredom.) I told her about DC and Sawyer and Bishop from there. I'll see what she says.

As for them, (I call him Alex for fun) I told him he better be more forthcoming with info or else I was going to talk to who I think is his boss- Foo. He's playing this like he works for Defense Corp- so I'm gonna continue with that.

As for Corp Guy, I was stupid and sent a very OOG message about ARGs and whatnot to him. If he freaks out about a game, I'll cover my tracks with a lie about keeping any nonserious types away or something.

Still haven't heard from Ethan- apparently Brackin didn't look at that email or he's not allowing that spin. Oh well. Until later Smile

 		Wow, this one has some familiar faces! Or, should I say characters? I've been kind of lurking here and there. How is it shaping up?

 		Hey WolfHawk, long time since (or is it until!) the temporal agency days. How's it going?

QUESTION: What do we think of Dan AKA 'Corpguy'? Character or Game-jacker? From what I'm hearing he's in a similar catagory to 'Agent Stenc'...

Skyler's okay (or so she tells me!). I'll be interested to hear the response to Taura's DC/CA cross-play. And in all likelyhood you're gonna get nothing from Adam on Ethan, but, hey, it would be awesome if you did!

 		I figured I would post my dealings with the all and mighty Dan.

Dan to me:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to you with regards to the website known as www.conspiracyasylum.com. Ignoring the improbability of the events described therein, I am writing to you in the hopes that you might be able to better offer information on the person in the videos and those who run the website. Who exactly runs this website? And for what purpose? And do you honestly believe in these ludicrous videos? I would appreciate any information you might have on this matter.

I hope that you will be able to return this correspondence as soon as possible.

Thank you for your time.


Me to Dan:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Dan,
I appreciate you taking the time to contact me. I am wondering though, what made you choose me. Moving on. The man in the videos is referred to as Sawyer. I know his real name but that alas is information I am not willing to share until I am more aware of you intentions. The web site has been run by this "Sawyer" until recently, in which he has been taking captive. Now it is being run by an anonymous party, who will stay that way until I determine you are someone I can share this information with. As fare as the ludicrous videos you speak of , I believe in some where as other are complete rubbish. Hope this helps

Sir or Madam


Dan to me:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"Sir or madam",

My correspondence was unfortunately not based upon any specific reasoning other than that you seemed to be active on the website known as www.conspiracyasylum.com. And frankly, I find your need for cloak & dagger theatrics rather tiring. I neither have the time nor interest in drama, especially since my career is on the line. As for the "anonymous party", are you suggesting that someone has taken over the site and is now displaying videos of a person being captured? I would think that such information is nothing something that should be kept secret.

Dan


I thought the part about Cloak and Dagger theatrics was hilarious.

 		Oh yeah. Does anyone know who Alex Wright is or how I can contact him/her? I was told to contact this person by them. Thanks in advance.

 		Alex's email is almst3kSPLATgmail.com -- in the Deus City ARG, he was the CEO of Wright Industries and one of the guys working on the original Time Communications Project.

 		First, Them said to contact Alex????? LOL I've been calling Them "Alex" just for fun. That's pretty interesting. Can you post or email me those messages? (taureanfreakSPLATgmail.com)
As for telling Skyler about DC, she just thought it was interesting and didn't say anything else about it. She did mention that she is missing her mom. I did warn her about her mom phone being tapped to and be careful not to lead anyone to her.

Corp Dan did tell me his job is on the line and didn't appreciate me saying it was a game, so I did tell him I was trying to weed out any non serious people. I also promised him some information once I knew more about him.

Them aka "Alex" annoyed me with another pointless email. I'll be contacting Foo next to tell him about Them. We'll see what happens in the next couple days.

 		I got this from Them:

Quote:
You want info: fine. I don't care anymore.

I work for Defense Corp. We don't know where Foo is at the moment, he's disappeared. The board of the directors is running the company and they have (rightly) determined that time communication is too dangerous to pursue, given what seems to have happened in the future. Destroying the research is a sure way to prevent that future from coming to pass.

Who I am is not important, but since you keep calling me Alex I'll tell you I'm not Alex Wright. Alex Wright and Wright Industries are the ones attempting to restart the communication. They see our unwillingness to restart the communication as a weakness and they are attempting to do so on their own to undermine our future position.

At first we thought they had Brackin but now it appears there's been an interesting development. It seems one of their front companies has him. One of their low level bosses is trying to use him as a bargaining chip as evidenced by their total lack of knowledge when it comes to time communication.

This might play to our advantage and give us a little more time to find him before its too late.
