Kidnapping is hard

Wow. That was hard. Forgive me for being away so long. Kidnapping 9 people is hard. I will be entering the room soon, so if you have any last questions for me now is the time to ask. I also want to say I'm sorry for not getting the last 3 contestants up on time. I am having trouble with the screennames but that will be fixed.


Hopefully this means it will pick up. Has anyone tried asking him questions?


EDIT: New entry on The Messenger's blog as well...

Contestant 8

Okay I don't have much time, by giving you this message I am giving away my position. They will come for me so again, I will be hard to contact. DO NOT TRUST JANE LADY. She is my mother. She can not be trusted. If I give away info I will be in greater danger. I am not to interfere, I am just the messenger.

Am I the only one who wants to send the following instructions:

Option 1:
* Find the idiot with the heart rate monitor
* Take it off him. Wait for the doors to open
* Pummel him senseless
* Go home.

Or 2:
* Take all electronic equipment apart
* put all capacitors in series in an extremely compact shape
* Plug it in
* Go home when the EMP fries the aforementioned heart rate monitor.

Edit: I just have a real hard time suspending disbelief on this one. I mean, we have some dude who is afraid to tell us anything - but Mr. wannabe Saw II takeoff is gonna be locked in a friggin room shortly. He can't even give us a gender??

Spec: Barry is your bad guy. He doesn't want you discussing the list, when the most obvious way to start eliminating people who are *not* the killer are things like, say, dropping trou to see who has odd plumbing.

From what I understand, something bad happened in the last thing when the coffins were prematurely opened. I suggest we wait until everyone wakes up to have people dropping trousers. And what if they got the operation?

My understanding is that it's still pretty obvious when an innie used to be an outie, and vise versa. TG works both ways. Of course, the rub is if there is more than one TG person in the crowd - that doesn't eliminate anyone, because you can be TG and something else on the list as well....

Wait for them to open, no prob - but Barry doesn't want you to wait until everyone's awake to discuss the list, he doesn't want you discussing it *at all*

True.

On another subject, I've been looking at the pictures, trying to figure out the transgender.

Honestly, Barry is the best candidate. Look at his picture. It just...it looks like a morph between a man and a woman.

Maybe we should get Bar-eesha to drop it's pants when another person gets on the computer.

sorry, didn't realize I'd started a redundant thread
http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=26360 here.

Have had some IM conversations with some of the trapped people. I posted some on the other thread. Just had a convo with JaneLtrapped. Here's a transcription:

Quote:

JaneLtrapped: you there
CaverRance: hi sorry, bit busy atm
CaverRance: are you a friend of Barry's?
JaneLtrapped: I am in the same room as barry
CaverRance: is everyone awake now?
JaneLtrapped: now give me the listing
JaneLtrapped: Yeah we all got out of the coffins
CaverRance: what listing is that?
JaneLtrapped: The listing of who everyone is
JaneLtrapped: cough it up
CaverRance: how do you know about it?
JaneLtrapped: Because there was one last time
CaverRance: were you trapped last time?
JaneLtrapped: no
CaverRance: then how do you know about last time?
JaneLtrapped: Because I tried to stop the first one
CaverRance: What do you know about the messenger?
JaneLtrapped: oh so you have been talking to him
CaverRance: I've been readinga bout him
JaneLtrapped: look I need you to keep him talking
CaverRance: what do you know about him?
JaneLtrapped: You see he and I use to work together
CaverRance: what's his name?
JaneLtrapped: He is special
CaverRance: how so?
JaneLtrapped: I would give you his real name, but he is not that person any more
CaverRance: who is he now?
JaneLtrapped: He can see into the future
JaneLtrapped: We made him into the messenger
CaverRance: who's We?
JaneLtrapped: I work for the stronghold
CaverRance: What's that?
JaneLtrapped: We keep the world safe from people like Todd Glassman
CaverRance: I see. And what can you tell me about your daughter?
JaneLtrapped: I don't have a daughter
CaverRance: Why do I need to keep the Messenger talking?
JaneLtrapped: ok play attention
CaverRance: I'm listening
JaneLtrapped: like I said he can see the future
JaneLtrapped: the stronghold saw this as a good power to have
JaneLtrapped: so we took him in
CaverRance: ok
JaneLtrapped: The problem is since he had access to all of us we had to make sure that he did not betray us
CaverRance: I take it his employ was not voluntary then?
JaneLtrapped: So we trained him to not interfere
JaneLtrapped: We trained him to just be the messenger
CaverRance: I see.
JaneLtrapped: and an insurance if he did interfere we would then be sent his location so we could stop him
CaverRance: so if he stops talking, his location will be revealed?
CaverRance: oh I read that wrong
JaneLtrapped: no if he keeps talk, keeps interfereing
CaverRance: nm
CaverRance: I'll see what I can do
CaverRance: has anything happened in the room yet?
JaneLtrapped: Now since I was the one who made him who he is today we are linked
JaneLtrapped: so if he keeps talking MY location is also sent to the stronghold
CaverRance: I see
JaneLtrapped: so if he keeps talking my people will come and save us all
JaneLtrapped: So now, the listing
CaverRance: doesn't sound like you really need it
JaneLtrapped: Ok lets turn the tables a bit
JaneLtrapped: you are trapped in a room
JaneLtrapped: I have information that could save you
JaneLtrapped: wouldn't you want me to help you
CaverRance: I don't know that you can be trusted yet
JaneLtrapped: Oh thanks
JaneLtrapped: Look if you want to help you need to give me the listing so I know who to kill
CaverRance: and that's why I can't
JaneLtrapped: Cause right now the killer is eather Barry Jade Mary and a long shot Tony
JaneLtrapped: So I will kill them
CaverRance: What makes you think that?
JaneLtrapped: and if I make a mistake, just remember that you withheld info
JaneLtrapped: Because they are the only ones that could know about the 1st room of doom
CaverRance: that's on your conscience, not mine
JaneLtrapped: Let me paint a picture for you
JaneLtrapped: We are going to be forced to choose someone to die
JaneLtrapped: or we all die
CaverRance: yes I understand
JaneLtrapped: so if you want to talk about conscience I am not going to let us all die
JaneLtrapped: someone is going down
JaneLtrapped: plus I already have my main suspects
JaneLtrapped: so to save us all I am going to make my guess
JaneLtrapped: and if you have the info to narrow it down more, then it's on you.
JaneLtrapped: You think about that
JaneLtrapped: you think long and hard
JaneLtrapped: is that okay with you and your soul
CaverRance: So far it is.
JaneLtrapped: knowing that you could help and didn't?
CaverRance: You don't seem like the helpful type.
CaverRance: You seem eager to kill.
JaneLtrapped: Yes to kill a murder
JaneLtrapped: kill one to save 9
JaneLtrapped: and come to think of it isn't that what you and your unfiction gang is here for as well?
JaneLtrapped: Yeah, know who you people are
JaneLtrapped: Look I have a timer now
CaverRance: ok
JaneLtrapped: so if you are not going to give me the listing this is what I need
JaneLtrapped: push to kill barry, jade and mary
JaneLtrapped: and keep the messenger talking
CaverRance: ok
CaverRance: I'll do what I can from this end
JaneLtrapped: thanks so much for your help
CaverRance: good luck in there

Hey, she put up a Myspace message asking for the listing.

The next person to log on, we have to ask them to rule out trans gender by dropping everyone's pants.

I think before you do anything you should actually realise what transgender means. It includes many different types of groups, not necessarily transexuals and also not necessarily post-ops.

You are absolutely correct re: the broadness of the concept of Transgendered.

The question is, is the PM capable of making that distinction? I've been a bit underwhelmed by the setup of this, so while dropping trou may not answer any questions, it also might.

And I realize I may be being overly negative, since I'm not actively following anything related to this, but since it doesn't appear that the PM is going to be willing to give enough information - or is going to make his characters ignore any useful advice - until several "people" are dead, it makes the whole thing kinda moot.

The PM will 'kill' until he's bored, then he'll find a way to 'die', then he'll send a mocking 'final note' that we all suck for not saving more lives.

Why bother?

To the PM: If I'm selling you short, I apologize, but nothing I've seen reported to date enthralls me with the story you're writing.

Ahhh!

I just had a conversation with Kate, but I had to switch computers, and now I have no record of our conversation.

But, what i got from it is that Frank is most likely the drug addict, as he seems to be going through detox.

Barry was yelling at her when I asked her to check what everyone's job was, to found out who the model is.

Other than that, they've gotten food, and they're all going to eat, once everyone wakes up.

Messenger journal, which has been "compromised", states this:

"Eric brought the police to the room, and I tagged along. The bodies were laid all about. Todd sat in his chamber with a sick smile on his face. I started to feel sick to my stomach, so I left the room quickly. "

Barry states:

"trappedbarry: Well when we got out of the room the 1st time, me and Eric, we went to the police, and Mary is the one who went back with us "

The messenger could not have written that, as he is not in the room.

Therefore, it was written by Doofushead. Or whoever 'compromised' the site.

The question, of course, is did he write this as a red herring in order to kill off the innocent, or is the answer that simple.

Given my previously mentioned concerns re: the consistency of the PM, I refuse to speculate Wink

Edit: Or Barry is the killer, as I originally speculated, and Mary did *not* come with them the first time

It seems like it, as Barry is preventing me from counting out the first innocents. Damn you, Barry.

but, where did you get the Messenger journal thing from?

EDIT: I found out. Logically, yes, Barry seems to be either the messenger or the killer. THe latter is FAR more likely.
