There are some interesting spelling mistakes in Robbies post. I can't make anything from it. There are too many of them to be typos.

Quote:
My God…. He's… Dead!
I… I don't even knwo what to type right now, seriously. I found the place, where Broxbourne was staying but it seems like I was too late.

He has a .22 rifle in his hand but, he didn't kill himiself that much is evidnet the angles dont match up as well as the fgasct that I spotted two men in ski masks and black jackets leaving the back of the premises. The jackets had a red symbol on them it was like the "Omega" sign…

They already figured out what's going on I think we're all in danger…

I'll contact you guys again asd soon as I think I'm safe, I'm shittin bricks right now!


It is also strange that he called him Broxbourne. Robbie never knew who he was and if he was dead when he got there then he still shouldn't know his name. Unless he talked with him quite a lot on the radio, then i guess he might know. I'm not sure what to make of it.

So it seems like Apace Mindset (red omega logo) entered the game and removed Broxbourne manually. I haven't found any clues from the misspellings, but I'll keep looking. Do we know of anyone else that's in the game and isn't supposed to be? I imagine they're in the most immediate danger.

could be nothing but usually his punctuation is perfect too...we seem to be lacking an apostrophe here.

I KNEW something was up. Or maybe it was just gas...

Yeah, I noticed that he called him Broxbourne, as well. That's really strange as he only knew him to be Will. I hope it wasn't a mistake on the PM's side of the game.

Robbie's grammar is horrendous. His punctuation sucks. Maybe he's just "terrified" because he happened to find a dead body? I mean, he does say he's pooping bricks right now.

And yes, I'm good at repeating information Very Happy

I asked Robbie about that on his blog. I hope that's okay. Man, i can't believe the professor guy is dead. This can't be a good thing....

Hey all, I've been lurking so far but reading this thing has got me hooked... I've never done an ARG before, total noob, but I've been obsessing about this one since i read it like it was some soap opera or something. I just thought I'd share my thoughts since I'm getting antsy between updates...

The whole Broxbourne dying thing seems a little suspect to me, since we know that someone in the Lif3 game has a physical body elsewhere. So I was looking through Tallerbird's IM convo with Gail and it said, I think, that once Diane knew Broxbourne was in the game that he'd try a diversion tactic. Do we fully know that a person in the virtual reality game could die and leave a bloody body behind? As opposed to Ricky who got out of the game and just "vanished". Maybe the Omega symbols on the attackers jackets were supposed to be a clue for Robbie and Diane?

Also I found it interesting that Diane asked "Why the hell is he in that neck of the woods?" (in quotes even) and that Leon King had said about Goway, his imp friend that was possibly from another mind-dimension-thing, "It seems he's not too fussed about me being in his 'neck of the woods' so to speak".

Please tell me if I'm off-base or breaking rules with this sort of wild speculation in teh ARG, it really is my first step into putting my mind towards one of these things, but those were just a couple questions that have been nagging me the past couple of days.

Well hi and welcome!!

Hmm. actually you bring up some really good points. Broxbourne died in the game AND left a body behind. Wouldn't he just be removed. Even if is physical bodied died too (like in the Matrix movies), why would he remain in the game? If could be a clue or trap. Than again it could be PM oversight (though that can turn into wild speculation about EVERYTHING and we have to trust that if the PMs did make a mistake like that, they could always engineer the story line to accommodate a minor oops).

I'm wondering if these 2 S12 members are part of a larger cell, of say 8...remember there are at least 8 (well 6 now) people yet to be accounted for IG. wondering if Forester was running similar tests of his own within the same game engine. If so, we know at least 2 of these remaining gamers are dangerous...and possibly Robbie too, somethings very fishy about our friend lately, unless he just is losing the plot.

new post from Robbie. he responded to my question in an interesting way:

Quote:
I guess I should begin again

Now that I have my wits about me… I'll start from the top.

I found the specific location "Will" told me to look for, I entered the premises and heard what sounded like footsteps outside (I emphasis plural) So I stopped and I hunched over by the staircase inside the premises. I ran upstairs and found "Will" lying on the floor, bleeding from two .22 shots to the chest. This was first evidence, besides the footsteps which told me this was not a suicide.

Then, I saw his answering machine was beeping… I clicked play and got a message which I've tried time and again to record somehow to upload here but can't. I'll post a slight transcript though.

**Static**

"Professor Broxbourne? It's me… It's Gail"

**Static**

"I don't know if you can hear me or even recieve this message but your vital signs are showing as extremely weak. I'm hoping to God everything's okay in there… Diane knows you're around although she has no idea why, I have also learned she has found the other participants, they are all safe. Just find Robbie and meet up with the others, we'll have it figured out.

**Static. End**

Now, I have no idea what any of this means but I'm therefore assuming that "Will" = Professor Broxbourne and he was around to help us from the start!? What do you guys know about any or, all of this??

.Rob.



this is bad news. We need to talk to Gail and come up with some kind of plan on how we should answer this.

dposse!!! I was about to post that!

I guess we need to come up with something. The PM pulled through with the Broxbourne escapade, though I'm sure it was the PM's plan from the get-go Wink

Though, your response on the podcast thing isn't all that revealing. You just asked him how he knew that Will = Broxbourne. Very interesting stuff...

haha, sorry Llama. Anyway, there's a big difference between not telling something to Diane and Robbie and flat out lying to them. curiosity is an very powerful emotion and it won't be easy to quash that.

Wait! I don't trust Gail anymore!

She told us very specifically to call Broxbourne by some other name so that the AM guys wouldn't know his was in the game. So why would she outright call him that in the game? It doesn't seem right....

Or maybe I'm just getting paranoid too lol

I still think we need to get Robbie to the others, though. (Unless he killed broxbourne?)

We have no reason to not trust Robbie, though. Same goes with Gail. I think she was just trying to communicate with him while he is IG.

Perhaps we just warn Diane about strange people in weird coat things with red signs on the back. Then she would be aware, assuming she is supposed to know about them.

*shrug* nothing right now. Diane's blog has been quiet for a LONG time and Robbie hasn't said anything in a while either. I hope the game is still going...
