I'd suggested Islington High Street (which is in N1) to Robbie earlier, but I wasn't convinced (and apparently my comment hasn't been accepted yet). I think you've hit the nail on the head with Highbury. Nice work.

I wonder if by using the same format for Gail's screen name, you could add anybody else from AM or even Broxbourne (Wilbur). What do you think?

I wonder if Wilbur's in the Woods has ANY importance to us. I know Leon has no idea where Brox could be, but still...

If Robbie has a regular ol' FM/AM radio, I think something like a CB or HAM radio will not do the job. The frequencies are too different (CB/HAM = mHz, FM/AM = kHz). He would probably have to find a radio station and use that to transmit back. That or he makes something that can transmit at the lower frequencies... that would be interesting.

What about smoke signals? I mean, at least our Brox man would know someone is out there... yeah? Or gun shots! Shoot a rifle or something into the sky! Fireworks at night? Flare gun?

Is anyone going to post on Robbie's Podcast to let him know about Highbury? Or has some one already relayed that to him?

Leon said he's in the Southeast right? Diane said thats where she saw the fires. I wonder if there's a connection?

But isn't Leon OOG in her ARG, though? Just like Gail, right?

It's a good thought but Leon's both "OOG" and in the U.S from what I've gathered he was only in London in his game.

New post from Robbie:

Robbie wrote:


Okay guys… I managed to walk about five minutes down the street and there is what's known as a minicab office here, opposite a "Hilton" Hotel. I've managed to come up with some break-away conversations with our mystery man; calls himself Will. He is indeed in "Highbury" as someone (Tallerbird I believe?) Suspected.

He was able to give me a location opposite a place which used to be known as "Highbury Grove Boys School" So I am on the way there, now… Good to hear Diane's doing okay, too!

Will be intouch soon enough.


So he's found a place to meet up with Will, hopefully meaning Wilbur. I can't think of anything that we'd have to do for him right now. Should we focus on getting them to Diane or Diane to them? At least now we have a set location for Wilbur (hopefully).

@Carlito Nope, she hasn't been on while I've been on. Still trying. Just hoping my boss doesn't notice lol


Also, I was thinking about it, and I don't think that Leon mentioning he'd moved to the Southeast was a coincidence. Gail mentioned that there were others who were still connected to the game, and that when one pair of test subjects went home one was always entering the other's dreams. What if Leon is somehow entering into Diane's game. Maybe he doesn't realize it because it's only happening when he's asleep and he thinks it's a weird dream. Or maybe he has noticed but isn't mentioning it for some reason. Could someone ask him if he's been having weird dreams lately? Throw in something about the fires or whatnot? I would but I've not built any report with him, haven't even emailed him before.

It's a thought but remember Leon is in the U.S I think he would have mentioned had he still found himself in London in his OOG wouldn't he?

Talking to gail right now, let me know if you want me to ask anything


Update! Ricky's out of the game. he woke up, trying to find out if he's said anything about how he got out.

Edit: I'm having a hard time thinking of anything to ask. I've exhausted all my theories and she's shot them all down. All I can get is that we have to get Diane out, and that might help get the others out. But it's not going to be as easy as showing Diane that she isn't alone in the world.

Hey, Tallerbird! You're doing great in this ARG. Both Robbie and Diane mentioned you in their blogs as being completely right about something.

but, anyway, there's a new post by Diane:

Quote:
Lots to take in... So much.
Alright I have lots to write about and only a short time to do it. I gave Robbie another of the Laptops when we split so, I have like one and a half left (Batteries died in my initial one half of this battery has gone and I have one more Laptop).

Firstly, Taller? You've also read Wilbur's in the woods?! That makes me smile, I remember that book from long ago and you bringing it up is good news! Although I would have to ask, something I've always questioned. "Why the hell is he in that neck of the woods?"

Secondly... I did make my way towards those fires and wow, was it good that I did?! Lance, Maria, Laura and Shawn were all there! Apparently Ricky just sort of... Vanished? They were all running out of the house one morning as the door's apparently unlocked themselves and - poof - he disappeared; that's strange... They went back to look for him but couldn't find him.

-- As for my diary? It turns out that I recognised the name "Apace Mindset" because they're a subsidary or something, for the BBC and the "Lif3" T.V show. I knew I'd heard it somewhere before... I had a date in my diary to visit one of their representatives but unfortunately, it told me nothing more.

Anyway... We're headed back along the tracks to Waterloo and then we're going to head in the direction Robbie took. Would those who might be in contact with him, let him know all the Lif3 contestants, bar one - are with me and we're safe?!

Thank you guys!


So, Ricky is okay. That's good news. And Gail was right...Diane did bring all of them closer to her.

Not that it's much help, but here's a transcript of my IM with Gail. Needlesstosay, I suck major at improv.

Quote:
SheridanMailea: Gail? This is Amanda, from the emails last week.
ApaceGAILMindset:
Omg hi!


SheridanMailea: Hey! How are you?
ApaceGAILMindset:
A bit shaky to be fair.


SheridanMailea: everything ok over there?
ApaceGAILMindset:
Yeah Ricky, he came out of the game. I guess his 'time' ended.


SheridanMailea: He's out? Has he said anything?
ApaceGAILMindset:
Such as?


SheridanMailea: Has he mentioned how it ended for him? Anything that can give us clues as to how we can safely guide the others out of the game?
ApaceGAILMindset:
Nope. He said they found the doors unlocked; he escaped with the others and suddenly he was awake here. To be fair his application didn't say much just he was worried about not being accepted in life. I suppose his game was shortened for that reason.


SheridanMailea: If he escaped and then woke up, and the others escaped with him, I wonder why they haven't woken yet
SheridanMailea: Can I ask what the other applications said, such as Lance's?
ApaceGAILMindset:
I don't know them to hand because they were submitted to me anonymously. And as I say, he just felt he wasn't accepted enough so I suppose; he was accepted throughout Lif3 (or not as some people exclaimed). And therefore his game ended, for him specifically.


SheridanMailea: So you suppose that maybe because he WAS accepted in the Lif3 game that that brought about the end of the game for him, or am I misunderstanding you?
ApaceGAILMindset:
Somewhat. Games will end differently for different people.


ApaceGAILMindset:
They won't all come out at the same time.


SheridanMailea: Understandable. We're just trying to figure out what could trigger it for Diane
SheridanMailea: The hard part is that it's not just about Diane, I mean, there are others stuck in the game as well, right? Lance and Maria and such. But we've lost all contact with them
ApaceGAILMindset:
I believe, if Diane comes out... London will no longer be desolate at least.


SheridanMailea: which means that the others may then be able to reach whatever end they need to leave the game
SheridanMailea: Right now, Robbie has seemed to make contact with the Professor
ApaceGAILMindset:
Yeh I heard from one of your friends prior


SheridanMailea: Is there any possibility that Leon could still be in game sometimes?
SheridanMailea: You mentioned earlier that there were two past subjects who were still connected in their sleep after they left AM
SheridanMailea: Is it possible that Leon is still connected, and entering Diane's game in much the same way
SheridanMailea: ?
SheridanMailea: Diane mentioned that she saw lights in the Southeast and Leon just told us that he lives in the Southeast now
ApaceGAILMindset:
Southeast direction of where she is, in game?


SheridanMailea: yes
ApaceGAILMindset:
Leon lives in FL... South East of the U.S. I think that's probably what he meant.


SheridanMailea: :- Just a theory
ApaceGAILMindset:
Leon hasn't mentioned anything about dreaming of going back to London; which was where his game ended so, I'm doubting it...


SheridanMailea: I believe that if we can reunite Robbie and Diane and show Diane that she's not alone in the world, that her game might end. But I'm not sure what will convince her that she isn't alone
ApaceGAILMindset:
I'm afraid it'll probably take more than that. I'm working on a plan, as discussed w/ the other person who messaged me previously; on some route to take out AM manually... Once we have the 8 (Well 7 now) guys and girls, together.

SheridanMailea: What is your plan?
ApaceGAILMindset:
We're working on it.


ApaceGAILMindset:
What's a main priority right now is to get the guys together, first.


SheridanMailea: Can you think of any way to contact the other four? We lost email contact a while back and haven't heard anything from them since then
ApaceGAILMindset:
No way of knowing where they are, to be honest.
