Also... haven't seen this mentioned yet... in the video, at about the 1:30 mark (during the static), several bits of text are displayed: "Birth By Sleep", "New Age", "Fire In The Sky", and "John".

 		I asked: Who are you?

A: I am everything.


I then asked: "Who is John?"

Well, at least I completed the "Fire In The Sky" part! Which is most likely irrelevant... but... at least now complete Dunno

 		Sorry for the lag on this one, I was in transit from the office. Gotta love two hour commutes:

He gave the message in your so-called Boston. Look for listeners.

They are the beginning and the end, the eros and thanatos.



My take: the answers are in the video

 		Summation time!

We have 42 hours to ask mr. man anything - ends at 7/22, 5 pm Eastern


Mr. Man is everything.

Samuel Black is a ghost in the machine, literally.
    The ghost in the machine found us.
    He is/was mr. man's messenger
    He's the crazy Boston guy.

We're done with Boston.
    Find the new scope.

Don't worry about the numbers.
    We're too dumb and they're too complicated.


Sky Incorporated is the prison
    Steven Parker is a warden.
    Children are being injected with death.


The 13 lights are the beginning and the end. eros as well as thanatos.
    Eros - Greek personification of love, lust, sex. Associated with
    fertility. (Roman equivalent is Cupid)
    Thanatos - Greek personification of death and mortality
    According to Freud, Eros is a life instinct and Thanatos a
    death drive that causes people to take risks...

 		I can also add the following response:

13 wrote:
Q: What is the purpose of the Alva injections?
A: A "Darwin-istic" effort at best.

Q: What did the experiments mark the beginning and the end of?
A: Despair and hope.

Q: What will the ghost do when we awaken him?
A: Wither and return to his rightful place.



So as phomaster summarized: the drunks were too drunk to finish the quest in Boston, and we're too stupid to solve the puzzles online, so it's time to move on and focus on the video.

We need to wake the ghost or the world will wither. If we do wake it, he will wither. Life and death, hope and despair, alpha and omega, cat's and dogs living together...mass hysteria!

So everyone grab your proton packs and try not to cross the streams!

 		Did anyone catch the name of the tower in the video? It sounds like Condestien(sp?) Tower. The Channel 6 newscaster mentions it 3 times in the video.

I still haven't got responses to any questions, though some of my questions were answered in others emails. How quickly did you get that last response PostLarval?

as one of the "Drunks" {even if i was sober} We finished the "quest" in boston on friday night. we kept going because even though we were TOLD "the end" there were more kl00s.... we stopped because we didn't want to miss the Dark Knight - not out of drunkenness.

And 11 of us did try to do what we were told to do on sunday, which seemed to be the USS constitution - we went in POURING rain, drowned, came back to life, and still didn't find anything. We were almost late for planes and trains.... I think we showed real dedication.

As for the online aspect, the email responses are not only "cryptic" - but at times people are getting answers to the same questions others are NOT getting answers to....

now then, back to your regularly scheduled and timed "8 days of drunken walking to find 13 lights in 42 hours while not drowning at the Constitution

The video: Is there anything that hasn't been said yet? we got the words, what about the images? Sky Incorperated is only mentioned fully once, the rest of the time the word "sky" is covered by static..... what are we missing???

As an FYI, all my responses were fairly quick, but were answered between 4 and 5 EST. Haven't got anything since then. I would assume Mr Man is walking the dog or something, although it kinda makes it hard to hit these 42 hour deadlines when your questions aren't answered. Just saying.

And my last question was about the tower

Yep, I've been going with Condestine(sp?), but haven't looked into it much.

Beginning at 12:30 p.m. (PST) I began getting responses, and they were coming quickly (about a 10 minute turnaround). I got that last response at about 3:00 PST, and have heard nothing since.

Come on PM, the clock is ticking!

I got a response that "Steven Parker is a warden, in all aspects of the position", and that Sasha is "corrupt". FWIW


Oh and Pixiestix- I'm in no way trying to disparage what you all (or we all) have been doing. That was just my frustrated sarcastic attempt at a humorous summarization of what thus far has been a game that seems to be moving forward faster than we can keep up with Bang Head

 		So the injection is called Alva.

Sounds like there's some mix of Edison in the tower's name...Thomas Alva Edison?

Behold the Con Edison Tower
http://www.nyc-architecture.com/GRP/GRP017.htm

not on sky way but...who knows

also for the words that appear in the static

"Fire in the Sky" by John Butler trio...talks about sleep and children and death
http://www.metrolyrics.com/fire-in-the-sky-lyrics-john-butler-trio.html

Quote:
Fire in the sky
Out of the blue and into the red depths
Time for you and I
To try to fall asleep
In the bed they've made us


Quote:
And as those children diePawns in the game of
Collateral damage
The whole world goes mad

 		Whew... a lead!

Q:I've seen the name "John". Who is this? What can you tell me that will help me to wake this ghost?

A: John is the one you must awaken. Find him.


Though a lead to where, I don't know. But at least we've now added "who" to "when", "what", and "why"...
