Kai on Facebook

Kai added people to his facebook account today. It lists his email address and phone number - calling the number gives a recorded message from Ariadne talking about the mission and giving the link to her blog. I'll get a recording of it soon to post here.

I'm glad he's still on our side, at least apparently.

Done. Very Happy

I restrained myself from sending him Zombie, Texas Hold-em or Scrabulous invites - or perhaps inviting him to beat my "name that 80s movie" quiz score.

I figure it's best to keep on topic. Wink

I sent Kai on facebook an email before he started adding us as friends. I just sent him the infamous Mutters-is-evil email:
Quote:
From: James Mutters <jamesmutters>
Date: May 8, 2008 1:02 PM
Subject: Re: Help!
To: FluFlu FliFli <flufluflifli>
Hi Javier,
The server logs won't tell you anything.
Don't worry about Markus, he's seen the logic of Staying Blind..... etc
saying "Dude. Dont trust James Mutters!"

in reply, Kai does not believe us. Needs more proof. (i.e. that picture we got)
Quote:
I don't understand... This email came from James? He's been a great friend of mine since college, he's one of the few guys who I have been able to trust! And he's really helped me with putting together these web sites and everything.

Let's be honest, anyone can fake an email header. So thanks for the warning, I guess, this is a little freaky, but unless you can give me some more proof, I'm not going to believe that that message is from James.

Kai

Should I send him that picture that TheO sent us ?

Would this blow our cover? Or if it blows our cover, would that prove Kai is an Oat Lover? Its quite good proof though...

for the moment, I've replied:
Quote:
Kai, ok I have some more proof. Photographic proof. But as it is delicate in nature, and in particular how it was obtained, I have to be sure things will be ok.
ok?

Much more pedestrian, but he's also written on my FB wall:

Sorry I've been a but under the radar recently, been working really hard on several other projects (and Ariadne keeps throwing me these screwball requests too... but I'm always glad to help her out).

I've been following the recent stuff with a lot of interest, Markus's latest post was really strange, and I'm not really sure what to think. I've emailed Ariadne about it, but I haven't heard from her in while... hope she's not mad at me or anything...

Anyways, always good to hear from Ariadne's incredibly helpful friends!

a reply from Kai to my "keep it ok, ok?"
Quote:
This is weirding me out a little bit. I'm interested to hear what you've got. I'll keep it to myself for now.


at least he won't go telling James anything... or so he says, anyhow Wink

What was James' motivation for sending that photo?

Looks to me like the photo is proof that TheO are global, that they got our message, and that Thermantia and James are a part of it (and at least one other female friend in London).

Other than that info, it doesn't seem to directly relate to the mission as such.

Chippy and I were discussing in IRC that by giving out the photo, it immediately implicates those who've received it as being double-agents. The only way to avoid this is to create a cover-story of having aligned with those in our community who have begun to mistrust the six, and convinced one of them to share the photo they recently received.

But we figure it's best to run that past Lhall before doing so, as she's the one who made the decision to share it.

What do you think, Lhall?



EDIT: I guess what we're talking about here is actually in a sense part of a "Code of Ethics" for divulging information shared in UF with IG characters...

I posted this on Kai's Facebook wall today:
Quote:
Hello, Kai! Thanks for adding me! Too bad Ariadne and the others haven't joined yet. I have heard reports that Ariadne may be feeling discouraged and homesick right now; if you can drop her a line of encouragement, I'm sure it can only help!


I got this reply:
Quote:
I sent her an email last week about the weird post on Markus' wall, but I haven't heard from her since then... I hope I didn't upset her. I'll send her another note though. Thanks for the comment!


Woohoo, I have recovered an artifact and received a reply from contact with a character...this is exciting for me as (I know I keep mentioning) it's my first ARG!

With momonga's permission I uploaded the photo of Kai and James from the San Francisco Labyrinth Training to my Facebook gallery.

Of course I tagged Kai in it - but when presented with the option to tag James too I just couldn't help myself. FB informed me that he had been sent an email telling him he'd been tagged in a photo, with an invitation to join Facebook, and a friend request - leaving me wondering about my decision (YES----NO).

I wonder if he'll take it up... Smile

After chatting about it in IRC, I think we should wait to get more evidence. If I were Theo, I would seed different photos and information out in case someone leaked it, because it would be easy to trace. Did any other pairs even write to them, yet? From the other thread it seems like nobody else has, but even if it's a few it'll be easy to track back.

And you just know that as soon as Kai flashes it to James, James will text Thermantia to be like, QUICK, FIND THOSE LIARS! and we'll never get any more info out of them.

Just warn Kai that he needs to be careful. Diego specifically said, "We need to get to Kai BEFORE James does, losing the forums and the blogs will make everything harder."

He also thinks we can reach the parallel James who decided not to join Theo, and have him help us instead of work against us. I said I would ask for ideas from everyone on here about how to do that.

This is my fear as well...but what's done is done, it seems, as I don't think you can recall a friend request on Facebook. Maybe mr.judkins will end up kicked out of the trusted circle, but perhaps we can keep someone else (not me Razz) in the loop?

EDIT: I misunderstood...I thought mr.judkins had uploaded the photo of Theo with the note to Facebook and tagged James in it...I didn't realize it was a different photo. That's what I get for not looking first, sorry Razz.

Tell Kai that you want to trust him, but are concerned he might be working with Theo. Tell him if he goes to the labyrinth training in SF to help us synchronize the worlds on May 17th that we will prove it to him, but you don't want to send him anything that James could get his hands on.

I will provide the photos to Kai in person for him to verify, but not to take with him.
