I am sorry - I did a search and nothing came up on it.

[Oriza]

Another note--
the source code on the main page reveals something new:

meta name="keywords" content="Bowty, Reaction, Julie, Gate, Game, Virus"
meta name="description" content ="Bowty's location."
meta*name="author" content ="Bowty"

Only they are, of course, enclosed by parentheses <>
I don't quite know what 'meta name' means-- any of the rest of you have any ideas?

EDIT-- Idea! Idea!
I was about to write that also in the home page source I found an image-- http://www.thegatereaction.com/2508.jpg of a bowtie-- and nearly misspelled it 'Bowty'.
Bowty-->bowtie-->?
Perhaps a file is hidden in this picture? I'll try deCamouflaging it...

Another edit (sorry): I've tried Julie, Bowty, Bowtie, thegatereaction, 2508, 25, fishing, iamyourdisciple, youaremydisciple, karlcorcoran, hawkjones, and February15, and none of them have worked.
BTW-- 2508 added together (2+5+0+8 ) equals 15.

good observation on the 2+5+0+8=15

The meta stuff use to be used by search bots like google. They're not used that much anymore by the search engines but they are still good practice for briefly describing your site.

For example in that one we know the words "Bowty, Reaction, Julie, Gate, Game, Virus" are important and give us some sort of direction on what to maybe search for.

Another example is the source of The Lazarus Union

[Oriza]

Taking a leaf from your book, Sylvia, I wikipedia'd some stuff on Lazarus and the union and found a few things. Don't know if anything stands out, but it's eleven pm where I live and my eyes are beginning to glaze over, so I can't really analyze it right now x_x

I know it's a copy of bravenet's 404 page. And I agree that Karl Corcoran the man himself and his related websites are out of game. But I'm not sure about the one on freewebs. That's totally different. If I was PMing and needed a separate url for only one item, I wouldn't want to pay to register another doamin. And yes, there may have been other ways to introduce the info, if it is in game, but maybe not as clever. The only reason we can't reject it yet is because of the message that Karl Corcoran preaches (about being evanglist/disciples) and how that concept relates to our game and how the freewebs site seems to be saying he is a fraud. We'll see, emails have been sent. Neither of the phone numbers are valid and I doubt that Karl Corcoran has a hotmail address. So, if we get an answer from that, we can be 99% sure that it's not Karl Corcoran the evangelist. And of course, the whole thing could be totally unrelated to our story. I may be seeing patterns and making connections where there are none.

elite.fencer, interesting date on the Muellerburg Muse blog about the Mercy Virus. Dec. 10, 2008. I'll have to read it more in a bit.

Now Palm brought it to my attention about the two domains registered by bowty that he has a strange name for his business, Malicious Alias Studios.

[Oriza]

Great....so this really DOES have to do with "What is this Game"....
Now I have to go read eleven pages of backstory Oi vey.

EDIT:
I just read a few and I realized I never registered for WITG...do you suppose its too late to do so now?

your probably thinking of this Smithy111110
It had an AI in it that was named jon jones. But I don't think bowty and jon jones are connected in any way.

It occurs to me that his poem mentions "a watery war starting in Wassa" In the context of the Tybee bomb that makes a whole lot more sense, as it was lost in Wassa Sound. I can't work out much more of the meaning though beyond that first line.

I'm trying to think what the words and numbers that came with your message mean Sylvia. At the moment the only anagram I can think of is the first line: A Clue Whereto?

I'm not sure what the deal with the numbers are, maybe theyre just there to tell us the letters need to be rearranged.

Here is a transcript:

Something's happening
Looks, almost looks like something is falling. What's that?
Looks like A plane exploded near the ring. (or rim)
There's another plane.
I can hear it.

As far as the legacy game goes, I can't see how it is intertwined because now that we know more about this, nothing goes with each other; but I noticed his site before this game started because he is listed as one of the friends on whoismrwillson myspace. So he must be playing that game.

EDITED: Right after I wrote this I noticed that HawkJones removed his friend whoismrwillson and removed some of the other characters from whatisthisgame/joinmylegacy off of his profile. There are still people left who are friends that are playing the game, but the main ones are removed. A new friend suddenly appeared on whoimrwillson and it's icon is an eye; although a different eye. So maybe he made a new myspace site just for whatisthisgame playing.
