Ooh. Everybody's got some good theories.
So I guess in very general terms, Drs. Green and Scott were either part of the computer all along, and now something is going wrong or they started out as people and now a third party is messing with their heads.
And as for the question of Providence's existence, I think it depends on how we define existence. Even if she was only a computer program, she did make her own decisions (often directly contrary to what Dr. Green wanted) and had her own likes and dislikes, so I think she qualifies as a sentient being. (I feel very star treck trying to define what a person is)
I sent an email to Dr. Green last night to make sure he was okay, but so far no reply. I'm starting to wish I had given Dr. Scott some sort of warning when we were chatting last night, as something weird is definitely going on.
And hello Victorecho and Ririri!

No offence to the PMs... but if you're going to start a game this epic then you should at least have the follow-through to provide a challenging game. This started off nicely but had the potential for so... SOOO much more.

I'm pretty disappointed it ended this way.

The ending was defintely not what I thought would happen, but I admire the PM for sticking to the story that had been planned from the start. I personally like the thought that Providence was a figment of Dr Greens imagination. The twist ending is worthy of M Night Shamalan(sp?), granted not everyone enjoys all of his films or even some of his films but hey I do.

In case the PM has wknd plans I just want to add my thanks for an intriguing rollercoaster ride. Actually I'm only conflicted that this was the original,intended ending even though we had some foreshadowing last week. In any case it was all certainly believable and compelling. It was pretty Cool

Wow, well at least it came to an actual end rather than imploding. That's pretty rare these days. I agree that the twist ending of it being in his head is kinda cool. That means every e-mail, chat, and blog, was always him. Nice.

Recieved a new email:

I'm sure that's referring to Providence's blog.

http://expandingmyhorizons.wordpress.com/

There's a new post there, and I'm guessing we have to find the new blog which is what the letters rearrange to. I sense "fullness of time" has something to do with it.

SPI got that email as well.
