So here I am sitting in IRC on my blackberry, minding my own business when I get a tweet sent to my phone from JJ.

JJDeMolay: Ad libbed? Interesting concept, my friend. Wrong. But interesting.

Note: I have not contacted him since TT and have not said anything about ad libbing.

So I tell burrito, Lu, and classical, cuz apparently it was a direct message to me and I'm tweeted again.

JJDemolay: I'm watching you Munki.

To which I reply.

@JJDemolay: Kay. What am I wearing then?

No response.

Then burrito calls Becky out and she mysteriously leaves the chat. The End.

Think I'll be taking a semi-forced break from the game for the next few days.

I'll see you kids shortly. Unravel this sucker for me, will you?

Good luck.

Ok - I'll try and keep this short and sweet compared to my normal speculations..

WTF!?!

Too much conflicting information here. When I initially saw the post about the comments from Eric - I thought "ok - there's some problems going on behind the curtain now.." - as evidenced by my quick tweet the other night.

I find myself, now reading through all 38(!) pages of this, and catching all sorts of things that I haven't seen before. Bricker made some comment about being heavily medicated, and alcohol helping. I think I'm one more conflict away from joining him, and adding in laying in fetal position in the corner, sucking my thumb, muttering "can't sleep clowns JDM will eat me"..

Couple of things. 1 that stands out the most, is the first "OOG" apology email that was received by someone (sorry can't remember who), stating that this was a cross-functional/cross-country group of students trying a new form of ARG'ing. Now "Eric" states he's gonna lose his job? Thankfully someone (sorry again!) was paying attention and caught the fact that Eric used the name Lenny, rather than Rage.
2) I also received an email from Brickers address, from this Eric chap.

Burrito! Come back! I miss you already!

And yes. It is a cluster fuck of epic proportions. But some how, that's what keeps me wanting to play. I feel like, if JJ continues to put the game on, it's still going. Since, he's the One who started it.

There's a lot of speculation that we've been having about recent events surrounding the story, but I'm sure you've been in on this anyway wulf, since it basically boils down to what you said in your post. So this is more for people who don't frequent the chat. None of us are really sure what's OOG or IG anymore. There are times when it looks like someone's trying to gamejack. And then it doesn't. Although it could just be the PMs incorporating that into the story line. Other times there's characters that are seemingly OOG but then they make a comment or series of comments that makes them seem IG. It's like a curtain between the actual curtain. There's the IG the OOG and the REAL OOG. And I don't think any of us are quite sure what is what anymore.

I've decided I'm going to go back through and catalog the entire thread. Hopefully I'll find a place to use the net and I might upload everything I have into the wiki. Honestly though, it looks like quite a project. So many lines are crossed. Characters with multiple names and versions of themselves. I feel like there's like multiple dimensions and each character takes on a slightly different personas in each one.

Frick.

Okay, weird. After exchanging some pleasantries with Mr. Bricker (not Eric) over email, I sent him an image of the ticket I received and got this:

Given the high strangeness of all this, kinda wish you had phrased your last sentence a little differently....

have fun with this one =)

This game is so strange.

How can we ignore anything when so much is being thrown at us? People telling us stuff we don't need to know, people telling us that we need to know things we don't need to know, people telling us to ignore what those other people are telling us...

Dude, no wonder hardly anyone is playing this. It's next to impossible to follow.

[classical]

.... ahahahahahah
I love this game.

Aki's got a point, though--so much wallbreaky, blurry, unconventional stuff is going on here, it's hard to figure out what's apart of the game and what isn't. Man.

But uh, if anything, that's our equivalent of the Pat Buchanan book. Now to figure out what the, er, hypothetical bikers are missing out on, here. Crap.

Ok, so I've had to re-read that email to Syn several times over the past hour. I can barely see thru the tears to type this. I'd like to pick a favorite part - but I'm not sure that's possible. However, the tears usually start around the "dancing girls".
I've been tempted several times to start assigning names to some of the bikers, (I'm the guy with the German helmet!!), but figured that probably wasn't productive. That was by far the funniest clue bat, I've ever encountered.

Aki - I don't think I agree with your assessment about not many people playing. I don't think it's the PM's fault necessarily that we've followed Noah Bennet (isn't that the cheerleader's dad in Heroes?) off on a tangent. From the beginning we have focused way more on the meta, the backstory, and like they said - trying to figure out where the story came from, as opposed to where it's going. I'm probably most guilty of it. But we've definitely bogged ourselves down with it. We've let ourselves get distracted by things like Kade, and other things that really had nothing to do with this.
If anything it's us the players that have scared others off, because WE have confused the living shit outta this - but damn it's been fun..

Now, all that being said - we need to put together what "facts" we have. I dunno about anyone else, but I have so completely confused myself with arbitrary information, I'm not sure what's relevant.

But the clue bat made it all very clear - and I think I know where we jumped off the freeway, and stopped following the RV full of girls. Oh yeah, and writers..
