[HOLO][EMAIL] TC Caruthers 6/11
He was on that mailing list from the RK email.

from Tc Caruthers <tccaruthers>
date Jun 11, 2008 5:43 PM
subject to a true friend of Nate's

Hi konamouse,
I've been emailing Nathan, and I'm guessing you have been, too. What a bind this kid is in. Erik. What a piece of work.

I'm in a position to help. It seems like he's headed this way, so I've offered to put him up at my place.

But I'm also considering heading out to whatever is happening on the 17th…and could use some company. Not sure who's going, but guessing it will finish up by the afternoon of the 19th. I gotta get back that day either way.

Didn't do well enough with the options to cover travel, but if you can get yourself to MIA about noon on Tuesday, I'll cover transportation, meals, and lodging.

I need to make arrangements, so please get back to me ASAP (as in, within 24 hours).

Details to follow.
Regards,
TC


Either this is someone who has taken this really too real, or it's a new IG character.

Not yet.
1) I can't get to Miami that day.
2) Not sure if this is IG or a player.

I got it (that's what I get for checking the junk box...lol...) but I replied that I can't go. Because I can't...

I assumed it was OOG but if no one says it was them, then I'll be having second thoughts...
If it turns out to be IG, someone be sure to send me a postcard!

Nighthawk - send him an email saying you're already there and ask where to meet.

Noon on Tuesday in Miami? HELL YES!

I don't have transportation of my own, so I need to know the specifics. How do I get in contact with this guy? Anyone? And I know of at least one other person 'round here that's in the area.

*EDIT*

I thought this might have been a confirmed IG-er, but it's not?

We need more corroboration on this.

Hi Sylvia,

Thanks for the note. Sorry you can't join us. Any chance you could suggest a couple of interested FON's who might live a tad closer to Miami?

Regards,

TC

Surely he has to be IG. How (or why) else would they 'guess' it will be finished by the afternoon on the 19th?

I wish I could help. But I am hiding out in the western desert right now (in case Nate is driving cross country and needs a place to crash on his way to Florida) and have no means to get down to Miami myself.
However, I want to be involved in anyway I can. Please keep me
updated on Nate's progress and let me know what he says about your
offer.

Thanks. I will.
Two questions:
You mentioned means. Do you have the time, out of curiosity?
and can you think of any FON's who might be located a little more SE-ish?
No matter what, I'll keep you in the loop. Only have space for a couple of folks, and you were at the top of the list. Truly.

TC


I'm thinking this is another player. If this was a character, I would think Nate would have mentioned plans to meet with him on the blog.

Maybe this guy has a boat and thinks we're going somewhere for an IG activity?

I just realized that I received the email also.

The thing is that, other than the very first mailing for this game (the first puzzle, with the font sizes in the HTML) and for my Linked In profile, I have had ZERO involvement in this game. So where did they get MY email from?!?

I have my doubts at this point. This is too convenient.

*EDIT*
I've sent him two emails asking him for proof that this is worthwhile and appropriate. If this is true, then I am assuming PMs are reading this because they would have no other way of knowing (a) my contact information, and (b) that I'm from Miami.

So you guys have to do some serious convincing before I spend a day of fun and adventure blowing off a day of work and meeting a complete stranger at the busiest airport in the Southeast.

I got one too, and I'm nowhere near Miami, never posted on the blog, but i did e-mail Nathan once or twice, not that he ever responded.

Strangely, I didn't get this email. I was on Chiaro's list, and I've commented on Nate's blog. But I haven't sent Nate any mail direct, and never signed up on the Holomove job page.

ETA: I'm getting my games with secret unknown informants going by a pseudonym confused. By "Chiaro" I meant "RK"

I didn't get TC's email either. I have sent emails to -- and received replies back from -- both Nate and Jay, as well as post on Nate's blog. But I also didn't sign up on the Holomove job page.

Seems like he/they might just be cherry-picking a few of us here and there from different places... it all does seem rather odd, though.

Not like I could go to Miami even if he did email me. Sad
