I think you're right, mike. Maybe the walkthrough plus the flickr documentation seems to be a little too much for them. Perhaps they think we're spoiling the game for those who have yet to begin? I don't know for sure, but maybe they are expecting us to do a little more brainwork on our own? Again, I'm not too familiar with ARGs, and maybe there is typically a lot of teamwork, which would make me wrong, but...maybe it's just the public teamwork that they don't like.

I don't know. Just thoughts....

 		I have thought of this matter quite a lot, but I the PM's don't mind much, and I know this 100%. In fact, they actually like the fact we are sharing this information online. I am in a state of requital for the sake of the game.

In a sense, me, MoR, Organelle, we've all become PART of the overall story. What does this mean? I have no idea, but me being in requital is not effecting your gameplay at all.

We believe that the reason it is taking so long is because there is some Technical difficulties. So, we just have to wait... Yeah it sucks but nothing else really can be done.

 		Oh wow, some big changes on 3/L/S/3/W/H/3/R/3/ (thanks for the heads up org, I almost lost hope!

Looks like we have an ability to create a "profile" now, and a few more cards to look at. I'll get on it and post them on flickr shortly!

hmm... it seems there is no new "background information" cards... they are just user's profiles... interesting.

So we have a police report at our disposal now... not a lot of info in there unfortunately... However, have any other websites been updated? Katy's blog hasnt been updated yet.

EDIT: Here is the possible location of Eva's arrest. maybe there might be something there?

 		FYI for people making their profiles....
You can't have a long URL, I tried using my MySpace and it now links to someone elses because of the length. Shocked Use tinyurl if you have a long URL.

Also, you can't use a gmail address, it saves it as email instead of gmail.

I can't see that there is any way to edit your profile. Confused
You can edit your profile....after you've logged in click on the nonchalance symbol again and it will give you the option to edit profile. I was also able to get it to take my gmail address. Very Happy

 		Well, I headed over to the ashby flea market yesterday. Unfortunately there was no Timecraft 13, or even an anchor on ashby street. (How in the hell did he park there if there was no anchor?)

Maybe I was too late? I dunno. Hopefully we'll find him eventually

im sure everyone got this, but
========================

: Mind Plastic - Vol.112a
: Antoine Logan, editor
========================

| 1. language of the multiverse
| 2. fallacious product warning
| 3. the fledgling's assignment
========================


To My Recondite Family,

Have you given much thought lately to the connection between intention and
matter? That thoughts are indeed physical objects with influence upon
your surroundings? Has it occurred to you, when presented with the
glaring omissions of our scientific past, the ways in which we grossly
underestimate the reality of things unseen? Due in part to the rigidity
of the scientific method there are things today which, in the immortal
words of Donald Rumsfeld "we don't know, we don't know". Could it be that
the Mystics knew all along things that science is now, reluctantly
proving?

Terms like "quantum weirdness" and "spooky results" come to mind when I
reflect upon such things. Or, how when the paleontologists were proving
that human beings in our current physiological form have been walking the
earth for over 250,000 years, the historians, not wanting to be dethroned
as know-it-alls decided to call it "pre-history". My point being that
there are things we really don't know, empirically, but might very well
know intuitively. Do you think chess champion Garry Kasparov really
THOUGHT through every move, or did he FEEL into what was right when he
beat the supercomputer called Deep Blue? If we're really connected
physically with everything in existence, can't we just KNOW everything as
well? Though perhaps words aren't as important as our ever so inflated
human egos would have us think. A bunch of "little me's" running around
beating our collective hormone filled chests holding on to knowledge as it
would simply be too scary to think about the world without such mental
pacifiers to convince us that the world is predictable, stable and safe.

The irony here is that it's our illusions that are both our security
blankets and the blocks to our awareness of who we really are. Ask
yourself... REALLY ask yourself... "what am I"? Do that every day,
dropping your egoic answers one by one until you know, without a doubt,
what you are. My guess is that you won't find words for it. Once you get
there... you'll just know.

______________________________________

{ FALLACIOUS PRODUCT WARNING}
Some earthly concerns before I close this edition. We have received a few
inquiries recently reporting the appearance of a "Vital-Orbit Human Force
Field" on Ebay, available for auction. This device was produced without
input or supervision from the Jejune Institute and should be considered
rogue technology. Please, warn family and friends about this potential
dangerous product. As we have not examined the object in question, we
cannot be certain if our patents were violated, but it is safe to say that
the use of this device could potentially be quite hazardous to the
operator.

{ THE FLEDGLING'S ASSIGNMENT }
Also, for the recently initiated; there are digital PDF copies of our
promotional fliers describing our various world-changing products and
services. You can download them directly at
http://jejuneinstitute.org/archives.htm. Every accomplished member of the
Institute has at one time taken the time to promote the cause in this way.
Like a tithing; we offer our cooperation on this level, helping to spread
the good word about The Jejune Method and all it's mysteries. Once you
have posted these fliers in public places within your community, we
recommend documenting your efforts and sending pictures back to us here.
That way we'll be able to help monitor and guide your progress toward a
state of comprehensive Juvenescence.

That's all for today. I leave you now to ponder all of the above.

In Amity,
Antoine Logan

I dont think they are actually upset we are posting any of this information, in fact I think they like it.

Also, I'm going to try and bid on the VOHF and post some flyers around town. Lets see how this goes.

If you want to check out the bid history my username on ebay is brettlowers141

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=33958692297

Also, try to spread the message around!

EDIT: I posted some fliers around school, and sent the pictures. I'll let you know if I get anything.

 		So I sent out some e-mails, here's what I got.

First, I sent an e-mail to particlesavant, asking for some schematics to the VOHF

Quote:
Dear Brett,

Thank you for your interest in the Vital-OrbitŪ personal force field device.

I have gotten a surprising number of interested emails looking for replacement schematics, and am pleased to say that if you give me your mailing address I will send you a copy when I ship out the Vital-OrbitŪ, regardless if you are the winner or not.

Let me know if there is any other questions you have. Thank you again for your interest in the Vital-OrbitŪ personal force field device, and happy bidding!

particlesavantSPLATgmail.com


So, good news! We will get the schematics no matter what. (I still want the VOHF though)

Next, I sent an email to logan, talking about the new facebook group and sent some pictures of the fliers I placed at my school:
Quote:

Mr. Lowers,

I hope this message finds you well. Your online and offline activities
have been observed and appreciated by the uppermost stratum of our
organization. In fact; The Octavio Coleman Esq. sees great potential for
momentous transformation within you, and he'd like to personally
acknowledge your participation. There are a myriad of ways to become
involved on a deeper level, and each of these provide opportunity for real
psycho-sensual growth and renewal. Your obvious proactivity affirms your
dedication to this path. Rewards are forthcoming.

It shall also be noted that these are of the first in many rituals that
will lead to further discovery, over the course of time. There are
[descriptor omitted] more documented levels to be completed before
comprehensive Juvenesence may be achieved. Patience is also a part of
this process. Nevertheless, we warmly welcome you on this ongoing
journey, and into our recondite family.

Blessings,
Antoine Logan

More or less they like how we are becoming part of this game. Everything is going smoothly it looks like.
