 		Also - don't forget about the wiki

Feel free to add, create, etc. If you edit anything, just be sure to notate it, so we know what changes have been made, and by who..

 		Arlen
It's very possible that Arlen is a woman. My MIL's name is Arlen, and I worked with a female Arlen moons ago.

I do have a question we might want to pose to DB - How does your book end? Possibly rephrased as Who is the hero of your book?

We had a guest today in the #imsorry chat. While Wulf and I were working on the wiki Mr Bricker contacted wulf. After a few minutes of back and forth we asked him to join the chat room.

I'll post the other part of the conversation I had from him when I get a chance. Just totaled my car coming back to work from lunch. I'm sore, and going home.

 		Oh man. I move, lose my internet, and it finally starts getting good. It's impossible to keep up on my blackberry. I don't know if this was mentioned yet, but someone said the tarot cards pointed to the when. Weren't they posted at the rate of One number a day? If that's true then we should know exactly when the magic square will be complete. Is that the when?

Also, that sucks about your car. Sad are you okay?

 		Oh man Wulf!
You having a wreck is so awful! You are okay right?

[meta] can't help thinking that is so very wrong to have happened just as we're finding out that a battle between good and evil is taking place - then Wulf gets smacked around. I know it's unrelated, but I can;'t help thinking TINAG needs to remain a game. Shocked [/meta]

xomunkixo is correct, at least from what KM said - the square tells us when, and the Tarot filled in numbers for the square. UNLESS he meant that when we saw the SUN Tarot card, that would be the date, but since there are no more Tarot cards (yet), he had to have understood my reference to the SUN as = SOL and his clue meant the square has the key to when.

{Edit 1} A magic square is composed of a series of numbers, that when added up row by row/column by column every set of numbers equals the same total number. In the case of the SOL square that one of our awesome co-players found (sorry was it Wulf or Classical or Schwinn?) the magic number is 111.

[off topic] While there have been grimoires that showed certain squares used for a specific purpose, usually that is only because that was the use attributed to it by THAT witch. (As in all magick, it's the intent behind the action, not the action that makes it work.) Basically, we could use this square to heal Wulf after his accident, yet "Jack" could use this same square to kill TT or Portnoy. [/off topic]

[edit 2]Since I don't have all of the cards numbers to work with, but taking an educated guess based on the square itself, the date is either 1/11 or 11/1. I may be totally off base, but that's the best I can do without the rest of the cards. For some reason though, my gut is saying June and that may be because of the 6 being the first number used in the square and the Tarot postings. BAH!!!!

Okay - I have officially decided it is not that the ARG stands for alternate reality game, it is just another way to spell ARGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Laughing

 		*** I've Got Mail!***
OK this is going to be long rambling post so bear with me.
I sent Bricker an email this evening. In the the chat room he asked for a copy of DeMolay/Rage's monologue which in reality was just a copy of a chat between Classical and DeMolay/Rage using TT's account. (You can find it here.)

Quote:

Mr. Bricker,
Thank you once again for coming to our IRC chat this afternoon. When we spoke earlier I had mentioned to you that Rage (DeMolay) had monologued. I use the term "monologue" as kind of an homage to the movie "The Incredibles" , the hero's of the movie mention,the bad guys always tell the hero the "Plan" and "How great they are" just before they try to dispacth the good guys. As we all know when the bad guy is monologuing thats usually when the good guy escapes and defets the bad guy. Of course I dont have to tell you since you mention that you have children I am sure you have seen that movie.

I implore you once agin to reconcider sending us a copy of the recent revision of your novel. Noone out side of a select trusted colleuges will see it. There might be some clues in there that might help us stop Rage. It is obvious that we need to stop him before any more inocent people our hurt.

I am going to copy and paste the "monologue" in the body of this e-mail so please excuse the length. What this actualy is, is a conversation between "Classical" whom you have aready spoken with and Demolay (Rage). He is using someones else's ("Tvonfantine") email/messenger. "Tvonfantine" was/is a young (16 year old) girl that he had "working" for him She insisted that we call he "TT" This is the girl I assume(d) was his sister. Unfortunatly we have not heard from her in a while and a few of Rage's communications thru Twitter seem to lean towards the worst. We asume he has murdered her.

This is were I pasted the conversation that I linked above, but I cut it out to save space here.


His reply came in a few minutes ago...
Quote:
Mr. Schwinn,

I know exactly the part of the book that Rage was talking about. But I've definitely never shown that to anyone and it wouldn't have been on that jumprdrive.

I guess I now know that you guys are for real -- for better or for worse.

Here's a couple of chapters that may or may not make sense to you. I am doubtful that they will help you much. Unfortunately organization is not my strong suit so it'll take me a little time to assemble the other chapters.

I pray that these somehow make a difference. I trust that you are honest when you say that you are going to guard these pages.

--Brian


I'll attach a copy of the revision, That WE ALL PROMISE TO KEEP SAFE!!!
See below.

Regarding Ports Blog:
Those of you that actually subscribed to his blog or had an account with blogger. If you go to your dashboard, there is a section that lists all the blogs you are following I have it all the way back till when it was replaced with the Tarot cards. Also on that page if you use the "view in google reader" link it brings up al of the cards. The problem is that it looks like some of the images have been turned upside down. I cant remember if some of them were turned before but they show up that way in my reader. As a mater of fact it looks like the card might have changed.

Ill post what I can later it might take me a while to reconstruct this in a file for attachment.

more to come later

 		Bricker tried to contact me while I was out. I have a bad feeling about the out come of this. He is sent me more of the novel which I'll upload it in a little bit , most likely tonight when I get home.

Quote:

bdbricker: Are you there?

bdbricker: I heard from Rage. He says he's coming over to discuss my "situation" (?) I'm going to send some Word docs out before he gets here. It's more of my book. Not all that I've written -- but all that I can find right now.

bdbricker: He also mentioned delivering something and mentioned a "Hazel Teen" or something similar. I'll clarify that if I can.

bdbricker: Be careful.

 		OH CRAP
Bricker's a gonner. D:

also: Bricker sent me more pieces of the manuscript. I dunno if these are the same ones you received, Schwinn. Sorry if I missed something here, but does 'TGATT' stand for something I overlooked ...?

also also: Aki, man, we can always use help. :3 FYI, if you are comfortable with iRC, we hang out and discuss a lot of the game there: http://chat-solutions.org/chat, channel #imsorry.

also also also: with these new manuscript edits, I'm gonna go update a bunch of information on the wiki that pertains to the characters

 		New conversation with BD Bricker. Not much was said but we have a new girl who seams to be replacing TT.

Quote:
bdbricker: Got a minute?

threevilschwinn: Yeah , How are things?

bdbricker: Good. Odd. Thanks for the warning earlier. Kind of preaching to the choir, though!

threevilschwinn: Yeah from the manuscripts you sent. Rage is not the fun playfull type. but you know that you created him.

bdbricker: He actually didn't even show up. Some young woman did.

threevilschwinn: Young woman? a "hazel Teen"?

bdbricker: No no. She was older than that. A very pretty woman in her mid twenties. And that whole Hazel thing turned out to be about a lake, not a person. I'm still confused about that.

threevilschwinn: Hmm. So this woman was sent by Rage?

bdbricker: Yes. She said that driving up to see me was part of a game she was playing.

bdbricker: She was supposed to get a picture with me.

bdbricker: But the guy who called about her coming, I'm pretty sure he was Rage.

threevilschwinn: Oh crap! Let me guess she was colecting cards maybe?

threevilschwinn: Did the guy who called you was his name "Lenny"?

bdbricker: She actually didn't say. Said that she answered a flyer and was playing a game. Does that mean anything to you?

bdbricker: No, he just said that I knew who he was.

bdbricker: He sounded like Rage from the first time that I met him.

bdbricker: Maybe I made the assumption.

threevilschwinn: Yeah, That sounds like how he mety the girl TT . She was the one whose account he was using

threevilschwinn: good I reall cant spell tonight

bdbricker: That's okay. I've actually got to get going. My wife and I are going to a movie. I was just checking my e-mail and saw you on.

threevilschwinn: Do you recall the girls name

threevilschwinn: What movie are you going to see

bdbricker: Said her name was Holly.

threevilschwinn: Holly??

threevilschwinn: I have heard the name before

bdbricker: I kept thinking of Holly Body from that Brian DePalma movie. Only this girl wasn't blonde!

bdbricker: Okay. Have a great night. Thanks again!

threevilschwinn: Body double

threevilschwinn: Have a good night

bdbricker: Right! Body Double.

bdbricker is typing a message.

bdbricker: You too,

bdbricker has signed out. (4/25/2009 11:28 PM)

 		ok cool cats
I have been updating the wiki like crazy tonight; notably, the character list has been updated to reflect the stuff in the manuscripts and we've got a quick and easy timeline now that covers the main events from every day that I'll try to update daily, if I can
(add anything if I missed it!)

and I encourage and implore everyone to add new pages to elaborate further on these lists, like I did with the King Darzin code and such

sleep now /collapse
