Did you send her a private message for that?? Keep the chain going!

Nope. She simply commented on my status. First time she's done that to my knowledge.



I replied with 'working'. No response yet.

THIS IS NON-STANDARD COUNTING AND IS NOT APPROVED BY EITHER THE MTC OR BLACKSTAR

 		So lets say BONUS? is some sort of way of counting like Lipps kinda hinted at. The best I can think of is this
B- 2
O- 15
N- 14
U- 21
S- 19
?-?

I dunno....I really wanna figure out what they're on about

As was mentioned in the IRC channel "ONUS" can be found in the phone number for the MTC:

414-ONU-S035

So that's another way of counting to consider.

Well changing the 4 to a 2 (as in B) sure didn't yield any results. Oh well, guess that would have been too easy.

 		Heh, this isn't relevant to any of the puzzles but it's pretty funny. I sent the TIMM youtube account a message telling them that the phone number on TIMM.com was incorrect, and they responded:

This is an automated response from the Milwaukee Tourism Commission! Your message about:

"you idiots keep using the wrong template"

has been duly noted! We appreciate your _thanks for noticing that lol_ and we encourage you to have a good, safe, rebel-free day!

Alright, I was bored today and I was thinking (hard to believe I know): what would happen if some of us were to tell Lipps about the rebel faction and that Mars is in on it? Could it help the game - would it hurt? If some of us were hired as Blackstar employees, are we instantly in as a rebel? I'm tempted to tell Lipps, and possibly just play a rat in game (who doesn't like to be the bad guy?) but I wanted to get some feedback.

This whole game focuses on Blackstar in someway - but other than a few, we don't have inside knowledge.

I'm going to think outloud:
If we're all supposed to be rebels and help Mars and the MTC contributors, how do we know that the proposed drop on the 16th isn't a trap by Blackstar?

If some of us were to defect to Blackstar, how would we keep up in the game - different forums, specific emails, another website (not unlike TIMM.com)? If the latter, what might be some possible sites: BlackstarActiveAmerica.com doesn't work.

Would the game explode and fall into itself if someone were to defect, or would that player (i.e. - me) be exiled?

Again, I won't do it yet, but what do you all think?


So, I sent Lipps a message because I was bored. And to my surprise she responded. I am going to keep playing and keeping everything updated here - as I think it will help the game... but since the Forces are going to be there anyway, i'm going to tell her about the map that Mars has given us...

I have information on a specific employee giving information to the rebels. If you would like details on this employee or the information given - please contact me. Lipps Leroux

Rob,

This is exceedingly valuable information.

However, we get a lot of "tips" every day. We'll need proof of any accusations we make -- I've gotten leads on nearly every person working in Comm, all the way up to (and including!) Terry Nanny.

If you've got something to substantiate your claims, I'd love to see it.

This is from a facebook message, and i dont know how to copy so you can see the actual page.... but my response:

"Lipps,
A map is to be given to the rebels from a celestial employee. The exchange is to take place in approximately 22 hours. The proof is here (with the picture of the map).

Rob"

Very Happy I hope this goes well and makes things interesting!

I tried 21B-ONU-S035 but the number doesn't exist. I thought we mighta had something what with it being a New York area code.

On the video the "s" was actually a B on the keycard scanner... so maybe you should try 414 - ONU - B035. Just a thought.
