Are wiki's considered Ingame (usable by PM) or OOG? We could just send her the link to prove to her counselor of our existence? Although Im thinking its more out of game eh?

And she refers to PO as "playing" a game? Jason was running a game, but I thought it became real at end?

If I remember correctly, becca and Martin got into PO as an ARG, when they tried to quit playing Jason wouldnt let them and thats when it became real and we got involved.

Also I think the Wiki should be OOG

Work on summary and send your emails. I have this much so far, tell me what to change or add.

Quote:
Jason was running an ARG that Becca and Martin were playing. Jason was disguising his main goal of sabatoging Project Orphiuchus through his ARG. At the point that it became overwhelming for Becca and Martin, they sought outside help. They placed clues everywhere they could, which is how we became involved. We managed to overload the security system at P.O. while Becca was able to delete the main database. It still remains questionable whether respawning will occur with or without effected data in the future.

It was my understanding that Project ophiucus WAS the ARG. The computer that we overwhelmed and the the database that was deleted was the list of players (Participants) Once it was destroyed in respawned using the IDs of those of us who had aided in the destruction. Jason WAS Project Ophiucus.

wiki has to be OOG because, heck, Becs in her delusion could have created it... I was always unclear as to what the ARG she and Martin were playing, whether it was PO or something else. I think this was covered in one of the chat logs...

@coffee good start, and I'm sending my e to you now.

Oh it just gives me warm fuzzies to think of PO being on again... even in mini format.

I definitely think the PO/LMF wiki is OOG in this respect. I do advocate liberal copy/pasting--no need to reinvent the wheel. I am undecided as to whether we should have a new wiki for PO redux. I suppose it will depend on whether they're very similar and one picks up where the other left off or whether they are entirely different beasts.

@fish I had the same understanding about PO being the ARG. My ability to keep the ARG, the meta, and the meta-meta separate is fairly tenuous at best. For that reason it's better if I don't contribute much to the summary at this point. Besides I'm mostly good with niggling little things like spelling and such. I'm sure spell check will catch those goodies before the summary is sent, anyway. (:

Ok, so Jason's ARG was PO....I didn't really get that, but it makes sense. I changed it. I don't think the summary has to be in depth, just a brief, "yeah she is telling the truth", but now I am thinking the whole deal may have been totally in her head? Playing HurtstoHeal has warped my mind!
I have 4 emails, come on ppl!! Send your email address here: RoxellecnSPLATgmail.com You don't want to miss this!

Chat Logs
Mucho Meta

I went through the chat logs just looking for random stuff... *** between sections

<macmonkey> Jason == Dani
***
re:Becs & Martin
<Leyton> Ahh... So I was right?
<Leyton> They felt they were playing an ARG to begin with?
<macmonkey> Leyton: yes, they did

<Fencer> why was jason chasing becca and martin?
<macmonkey> Jason was the evil puppetmaster controlling his players...
<macmonkey> he want's them to play nicely, right? Wink
<macmonkey> Becca and Jason were caught up playing an ARG that took over their lives
***
<macmonkey> Fencer: Being completely honest, there's pleanty more to reveal. The story's there, I can't promise to comitting just yet though
<macmonkey> if it does come back it'll be bigger and better
<macmonkey> and there will be more PMs than just me :p
***
<Lunsford> you said that before, PO and LMF was 2 arg's you combined...what were they suppose to be like apart from each other???
<macmonkey> Lunsford: Ophiuchus was just going to be linked to by Jason halfway through to show what the couple were involved with, then the endgame would use the site
***
<Fencer> okay, one more question from me-- why did Jason choose martin and rebecca to participate in that ARG? Was Jason like stalking rebecca or something?
<macmonkey> Fencer: I can't say I'm afraid
***
<macmonkey> there's an element of automation within the ARG that is PO
<macmonkey> and it's that that was causing M and R hell
<macmonkey> automatically contacting them etc
***
re:wiki
<Highwind> I have 269 days to get it up to date anyway Razz
Very Happy
***
re:multiple engings
<macmonkey> I think a word of advice for players playing future games...
<macmonkey> don't assume that if you don't or do something that the game won't change as a result. Smile
***
<Highwind> The game the Jason was PM'ing, wh was he even hosting a game in the first place? For evil ultierier motives?
<macmonkey> Who knows....
<macmonkey> Wink

So, P.O. was the ARG they were playing...

AND I got the text too, but had my phone off... Crying or Very sad

Thanks for the PM Coffeebean. Between you and Mac, you've singlehandedly ruined my exam revision Wink
Anyways, I'll skip GTA4 revision tonight and update the wiki, just in case. Never know if we'll need it, and we can get others caght up with it anyway.
You also forgot 1 important thing from the talk (Can't get it as I'm in school right now) There was a plane intercepted, and Martin was taken from it.

Anyways, my email is: cidhighwind767SPLATyahoo.co.uk
Feel free to add it or randomly spam it.

On another note, keep an eye on Skype as well. Just in case.

EDIT: Working on Wiki now. Updating pages (Especially the LMF formatting), and keeping actual information until I get home. Anyways, is This working OK for everyone? Any errors? That's the problem with working on sub-par computers, you can't check right.

Alright I cannot miss this... I doubt I'd be allowed to considering I'm one of the 'New Participants' Wink

Yeah... Bec's and Martin started out playing an ARG (Project Ophiuchus) Which somewhat got out of hand... Trust me not to remember both names but the guy heading P.O and Jason were the same person, trying to find B and M when they went on the run.

Okay well got my email in to Bec's already Smile

Quote:
Becs!

It's so good to hear from you! I know you'll remember me, well assume you do? I passed on my phone number to a mutual friend and I'm assuming again you've got it? If not I can give it to you!?

Hey one random question... What's w/ you now having a 1in50million email address!? Anyway, how are you and Martin doing!?

Get back to me soon,

-L.S

LOL, guess I was wrong.
Be careful, though-- this might be a gamejacking. Remember Jen and John?

For the record, my email is elite.fencerSPLATgmail.com

[META]It's not a gamejack. I promise. But I also don't believe that part II has officially kicked off yet either.[/META]

New email from Becs

Quote:
Hey Leyton, How are you!? Of course I remember you Smile I got your new mobile number thanks. The email address is something that Gerry set up for me, I get extra featuresthrough the intranet which will be useful for the future.

Listen, I'm really sorry that you're officially a participant when the game(Ophiuchus) kicks off again, and I'm working to sort it out, but there's a fewthings I need to do first, like sort my brain out.

Don't worry, I'll be around much nearer the time when the game re-spawns, but I guess it'll be good to keep in touch until then, through my Blog. I should post weekly or something, that way we can keep in touch.

Or I could get a new blog...grr too excited over little things. Martin's fine.He had a nice holiday recently. I'm going on one soon. I need it.

Keep in touch,

Becs x

That's good, anyway.
Kind of a preamble to PO2, I guess....

Hey, how do we tell if we're an 'official' participant? I can't remember...

I guess you are going to do your own thing then Leyton? Becs asked for a summary, and a list of everyones email. Is that so complicated?

Dunno

Ok, without coming across rude... Becs never specifically said you were the only person who was allowed access to her email and it was down to you to compile the emails and give it to her... She gave that email, for us to contact her... Which I did.

Everyone got humpy w/ me during P.O because I seemed to be the only person emailing Jason. Besides I was politely informed that she was looking forward to being in contact w/ me (albeit via txt initially) And considering my phone which she had tried txting was no longer in use, I emailed her IG to confirm she had recieved my other one.

I apologise if this goes against the plans you had.

Edit: Besides I happened to find out that the 1in50m intranet would be used again... And that she may start a new blog.
