 		not sure if we should make ANY reference to lazarusunion. HOnestly I read it as though it he might be a resistance to bowty, and we may not want to make knowledge of his involvement

 		This weekend - my photo
I probably won't get to shoot my pic until this weekend. Palm -from your pic, it looks like you might be near me.

How about a question like "where is this all leading?"

 		I agree that we should all decide what our questions are going to be before we start sending in queries willy nilly. I also think they should be specific, not as open ended as "where is this all leading" (no offense Silent Monk) because that's such an easy question to be all vague about. KWIM?

I should have my picture done in about an hour.. that is, if I can get close enough to what I want to take a picture of without getting in trouble. Laughing

Take your time. It's raining here where I live and going to be snowing later and a mix or rain/snow/ice tomorrow and I'm not getting out in this mess to take pictures. I want it to look good and that's hard to do on cloudy days. And if my camera doesn't work then I don't know if he'll be getting a pic from me or not. I'm not running out to buy one just for this, mainly because I'm broke.

Guys, I don't think the pic has to be of any major landmark. I don't have any thing major important near where I live. He says this:
Quote:
I want you all to go out and take a picture of a well known place that is near your place of residence. I want to see your world as it is. I want to know know what life in your world is like.

I believe the most important thing is, and I may be wrong about this, is that he can google it. So, I got a place within a 5 min drive from me that is known well enough to be googled but it's far from being a major land mark. But like I said, I'm not going out in this weather to take any pics.

 		Questions to ask
OK, I came up with a list of 7 questions - we need at least 7 more (14 disciples). I put Bowty's quotes to help me ask a question. Hope someone can add to the list:

"A virus, alien, strange, unknown, unlike anything you could ever imagine, is in my possession."

1) Where or from whom did you get the virus that is in your possession?

"You also hold the key to salvation"

2) What is the key to salvation that you speak of?

"Who would I like to meet? Julie - one last time"

3) If you were to meet Julie one last time, what would you say to her?

"The first stage of enlightenment has been granted."

4) How many stages of enlightenment will there be?

5) Bowty, you also go by the alias Sx Aff. Can you tell me what that stands for?

"Wallace Wears a white box over his welted body end."

6) Can you tell me what this statement means? Who is Wallace?

7) What is the signficance of February 15?

 		WHAT is your name?
WHAT is your quest?
WHAT is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Or we could go with these...

What happened to Julie?

How does the virus affect people? (Not sure he will answer this one but it never hurts to ask)

Who you trying to enlighten?

 		Question idea...
Silent Monk (the character under which Im participating in this game) is sort of a blind follower to Bowty. Im wondering if a good question to ask considering what the future of the game might be -

"What are the consequences if a disciple of yours, disobeys?"

Mmmm... see, that's a particularly good question for me, because I'm always disobeying. Wink

Hmm. When is our deadline? When is it going to be too late? Why are you giving us the chance to stop you? What is the significance of the bow-tie? Do you think you're James Bond or something? ( Laughing ) Who does the virus affect? Is Julie still alive? Does she know what you're planning? Is she the reason you're planning this?

...off to ponder some more.

 		My lovely friend Iain discovered this today... may be completely unrelated, but Bowty's MySpace has him located at "Wassaw Providence, Lazaretto" ...

http://www.commondreams.org/views01/0821-05.htm

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=18587608

Like I said, could be completely unrelated...but even if it's unrelated, it's still creepy.

I wish Iain would get her butt over here.

The Tybee incident was discussed a few pages back. Although there are hints to it possibly being related, there is no confirmation.

 		NataS what did you do to piss him off?

http://thegatereaction.com/iamyourdisciple/0216080810/

Also I have received a new email from support saying:

Quote:
Thanks for your MAIN concern, Alex.
We are working on getting our servers on line. We are currently
transferring a large amount of files from our old servers to our MAIN
servers.

Thank you for your time.


Which leads to http://lazarusunion.org/Main/

I have already tried L:endrid P:mercy and L:stuburn P:blogspot but I got nothing so far

Embarassed Sorry, I did read the thread several times. Must be the effects of my cold medicine.

 		A lot of new stuff!!!!

Now for the most shocking =D

Quote:
Oh it looks like my blog has already gotten some exposure! I figured I would put this on the internet to show the public my discoveries.
I don't know anyone by any of those names, but I do possess information on this "Sentient Virus". I received numerous files filled with documents at my office on February 13th from someone I had no knowledge of. My secretary said that his name was Telather Creed, a very strange name. It could have been a fake name, I have no idea.
The information was a goldmine in medical science. This virus is completely undocumented.

I am currently working on going through all of these documents, but I am a very busy man. I promise, I will update my blog when I can.

Hi, my name is Christopher.

Can you help me out for a second?

Have you heard of the Gate Reaction?
Have you heard of anyone named Bowty/Sx Aff?
Have you heard of anyone named Hawk Jones
Does February 15 mean anything to you?
Do you know anyone named Julie?

And one last vital question, what is the information you received? The virus.

Thank you for your time.


Wow that helps out >.< At least we have a name.

And this:
Quote:

Thanks for you concern, Christopher.
We are working on getting our MAIN servers on line.
We have MAINly been working on transferring a lot of files from our
previous server. This has proven a long and grueling task.

Thank you for your time.


Came from "support"
