Post mark Miami ... LGLabs is in FL ... I wonder if this is the same PM that ran Adam Worsley. If so .... well, we certainly won't be lacking in entertainment.

Edit : oh no. Check the "Our Team" section. Catherine Belmont is "the queen of hearts". Dr. Benjamin Falken is "the mad hatter". etc etc

I guess we know in part where they're going with this now.

The WarGames connection hit me as well, particularly with this "Joshua" being a computer that learns for itself etc., just like the WOPR in the film.

The founder of LGL died aged 49 "of natural causes". His wife died the following year, and it's implied that they were of a similar age, both being students at the same time. Does that seem slightly suspicious to anyone else? Just throwing balloons into the wind at this stage of course...

Ok so far from what I have established... Character wise we have.

Good call Sylvia, mine was in my spam folder. I'm logged into the beta area now, having an explore.

I just tried to ask Joshua a question, but it told me that I already have a question pending, which I don't. Hmm.

How long did it take you guys to get the email after registration? I registered, but haven't received an email yet either. Not in my junk folder or anything.

My email came in about ten minutes after I registered for the Beta thingy.

Ivan seems to be an unsual choice for the job. The others all have degrees related to their job, whereas Ivan's degree is in music. Whether that's in any way relevant, I don't know.

Under 'The Past' they have a couple references to other AI as well. 'Frotz' is an homage to 'Fritz' I'd guess, and 'Big Red' to 'Deep Blue.'

Oh, and someone should go poke Euchre - he seemed to have fun picking apart Eidolon.

Interestingly, there's a page about a "Frotz" here. It seems to have connections to text adventures like the Frotz mentioned on the LGL website, but the page doesn't mention LGL or any of the personnel from there.
