 		As idiotic as it seems even suggesting it, has anyone tried chatting with the girl while wearing a pair of dime store, fake Vampire teeth?

Be sure to say "Blah!" too...

I'm guessing you might get her to laugh, or just to hang up on you, but since nothing else has gained anyone access, why not try? Smile

 		hahah. who knows, man.

I tried a couple approaches with her the first night:

First, I took the realism route, and said "look, I know this is about the TV show, I solved the riddle, now let me in." She responded by saying "this isn't a game... etc"

then i tried to play the part of the vampire seeking help and that seemed to get me farther, but she ended up cutting me off after saying something like "if you needed what was here, you would know"

Which, I might add is FRUSTRATING as can be.

I think she wants us to roleplay in a sense, which is pretty lame, but that seems to be the order of the day.


Idea -- take a look at chishio.jp. open up one of the pictures, and down next to the X o close it is a japanese symbol or 2. i punched "close" into babel fish and the symbol looks totally different....

Any idea what THOSE symbols mean?

 		For me Buffy is still the bible. I hear Vamp; I think get an axe.

Yet I did some reading. Seems they are more affiliated and loyal to their "House" than their "Clan" putting the needs of the House above their own. While believing they are superior beings they are secretly terrified of mortals who trap them to exsanguinate them,called "drainers".(tables turned)

Lots of luck tonight y'all which I'll read about tomorrow here and on AzureWolf's Cool blog.

Good info there amandel. But are there only four "houses"? And why are they linked to the Ancient Near East?

[ SAMSON ]
His voice is coarse and cut through with a Scottish accent.

Take a look at all of SAMSON's posts over on BloodCopy.com.

"Ah, now here ya go. Ya peeked down the staircase and saw the grownups doing their busywork didn't ya?"

"Well then, that's it for me then tonight. That GateKeeper still got ya stymied though, dont she? Maybe something new will slip out yer brainpan while your heads are upon those comfy pillows in yer bed."


I tell you what, if I was trying to recreate a Scottish accent through text, thats just about how I'd do it.

 		Lol, photojoe.

Anyway the linguist got back to me with some more info:

nms*z
zrh_ => scatter (if zrh and like Hebrew)
h*dt_ => new
mcn => like an eye
h*dt_ => new
lcbdt => to a slave
cln
cd [until]
clm [eternity]

Still doesn't make sense to me, but I'm pretty sure he isn't done, oh and he knows akkadian too I'm trying to get him to translate that one as well.

 		More casting notices...
I found more casting notices, for HBO promos for True Blood, so these characters may show up later in the "internet project" we're trying to solve. HBO really wants this to go global, from all of the different languages/ethnicities involved. **SPOILER WARNING - role descriptions may contain spoilers for the show True Blood**:

[ ANCHORMAN ]
Male, Post middle-age; must have a presence that commands respect, but also raditates a bit of warmth; think a combination of Bill Moyers and Charles Osgood, with a touch of Hugh Downs thrown in.

[ JOHN HANSON ]
Male, 40; TV handsome; should be able to give you the straight news, but still have a charm about him that makes him feel knowable; think the physicality of Anderson Cooper, but with a bit of the slightly puckish charisma of Morley Safer. Actor must “get” the speech pattern of 60 Minutes style narration, a la Bob Simon.

[ DAVID ]
Male, 27, handsome but not gorgeous, attractive body but not muscular; pale skin; dark hair;` his expression will be almost perpetually blank, yet will still have to communicate a lot through his eyes; a naturally deep voice would be nice.

SYNOPSIS: HBO is doing a series of promos for their new series 'TRUE BLOOD' - A story about vampires. The great Revelation has told us that vampires live amongst us and now they are trying to integrate into society. The show focuses on one town in Louisiana where Sookie (Anna Paquin) a waitress at a local bar begins to fall for one of the vampires...loads of fangs, biting, discrimination and black market blood trading. 'TRUE BLOOD' refers to the synthetic blood product 'True Blood' that can be bought over the counter at any deli

 		I don't see any reference to those being for the internet project though...and some of those don't shoot until June. Commercials? Video? If one of those names shows up in this game I'll add the whole list to the one's already on my blog.

I'll let you know if I find any additional information that ties them directly to the game. The character descriptions are very similar to the ones for the internet project roles (newscasters and vampires of various nationalities/languages), so I'm guessing that if these roles aren't specifically for the game, then they're for commercials and/or videos that parallel it (the events surrounding the Great Revelation).

 		Prove you're real?
Have the right qualities?
What makes you worthy?

How come she didn't ask any of those who "gained access" those questions?
