I am so sick of the cm. He is the worst pm, second only to the bristel goodman nutjob. It's like pulling teeth just to get him to give you a straight answer about anything related to his precious story. He's had several chances not to lose me as a player (and all the other people), but he's too stubborn to give us any new information. The reason I'm posting this is because I like all of you.

I started asking people about those line symbols to see if anyone recognized them. In the uf chat, someone said they looked like magic symbols. I started searching for magic symbols and I found the Seal of Saturn. It looks a lot like the 2 symbols he gave. Turns out they go with Magic(k) squares. Link

Nice find. I said that it was a code for a key. Like this just not sure what the answer is yet.

EDIT: I can't see why he would put the movie mars and they sign of saturn together.

For the most part I concur. This has gone way past the point of being ridiculous.

I told him in an email that he needed to wrap it up before he loses his audience. He never responded and didn't even let me know new info was available. Meh, it's whatever right now. I've changed shifts at work and am now working 6 days a week so I have little time anyway. I'll try to pop in every so often to check on youse guys and gals but I'm not sure how much help I can be.

good work nic.

so i guess what we have to do is as follows:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
one of the weird (non-planet) symbols shows how to get 7173 from the 'saturn' magic square.

cm7173 was the username of one of the videos. theres the link.

therefore, i reckon that spelling out the other cm youtube usernames on different magic squares will give us the rest of the weird symbols.


then what. we have a load of weird symbols. and another plot thread.

i would actually do it if i felt it would lead to something plot-related, or if it would actually tie up some loose ends. but i have a feeling its just something to keep us quiet, and it will just lead to even more unanswered questions.

pms, if you are reading this i dont mean to cause offence, nor do i want you to quit like the pms of Are Roo Gready did when players moaned. i am grateful for the work you have put into this. i understand that running ARGs is very difficult alongside a 9-5 job and a family life.

its just that in my opinion it seems the issues we have arent really to do with the amount of time the pms put in (there are probably games which run on fewer man-hours). the issue we have is with coherence. its frustrating when after investing nearly 2 years (plus a whole bunch of faith on our part) in a game it still feels like we havent really got to act 2 because we are being sent off on a million different tangents. i mean, we've had:

chess
tom d cesear
mary and kimberly
the bible stuff
the planets stuff
choosing our allegance
confessing our sins
the mole
the resume
emily jackson

and thats just the stuff i can think of off the top of my head. none of this stuff has really come to anything, apart from the main plot thread (the eric/sue affair and babysitting russ).

maybe im just speaking too soon. thats what usually happens. as soon as i post something like this the cm brings another vid out and i feel awful. ah well.

Don't feel awful.

I agree with you on the point that it is pretty time consuming and it is probably pretty difficult to run an arg along with everything else that one has going on. My only argument is that you don't blow the whole thing into a huge deal and you don't get people to invest a lot of time and interest in something if you aren't going to step up and do what it takes to make it run as smoothly as possible. If you don't have time for it, don't do it. I dunno, I am probably being harsh and unforgiving (ive been trying to be better about that) but it just doesn't make much sense to me.

But on the other side of the coin I must confess the poor pacing of this game has actually worked very much in my benefit. It has given me ample time to finish school (July 29th!!! GRADUATION) and a myriad of other responsibilities I have been swamped with lately without worry that I am going to miss much of anything.

So I guess what I am trying to say is...meh? Confused Confused Confused

OH WABO: DURRRRR!!!! Flaming Nutter (for old times sake)

Ok, Here is what I have ...........

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The CM gave us .....

Username: CM414151 Jupiter
And the clue "think inside the box"
Which should have lead us to the Jupiter magic box


The top line should confirm it

Whats the next video ? it's the bottom line

Username: cm162313 Mercury

So we go to the Mercury square



We would have had to type in an axx load of numbers to ever find this

Username: cm156482533241657 Moon

So we go to the Moon square



We would have had to type in another axx load of numbers to ever find this one too

Username: cm77685950413223145 Saturn, unknown symbol

----Everything seems somewhat logical to me up to this point. ----



So we apply the symbol to the Saturn square



Why this isn't 71753 is beyond me but go figure

Username: cm7173 Mars, unknown symbol



So we apply the symbol to the Mars square



Please show me how you apply the symbol to get 2209213


Username: cm2209213

It all seems to fall apart ... we havent used the sun or venus magic squares

Username: cm310614

It's 09, but I'm not sure why. The last one relates to the painting I guess, I didn't care enough to search it.
