So I can answer everything he wants EXCEPT the electrical grid. I don't even know how to find that out, or why it is honestly important....

I don't know where the electrical grid questions are leading either, and his questions became more detailed after I provided answers about my area - sorry about that.

Welcome to the flock Unice!

God has revealed your inspired warrior name is Unice! How perfect are his ways that he would give you early training on a single wheel. There is almost nothing more confusing and unpredictible to trajectery prediction circuts than a human on a single wheel. It is nearly the perfect transportation to confuse them. You must include a fierce picture of you in your new uniform with your perfect weapon- the unicyle - better would be a video. Trying to track a human on a unicylce has been know to cause the equivent of a seizure in robots. It can stun them long enough taht you can actually unscrew their back and yank out the motherbords - BYE BYE! hehe. Oh and that you are in Chicago provides me with great hope that I may one day get to see you in fighting action. Question. Can you apply a single horn to your head? God thinks this would be the most intimidation inspired... but you think about it... I want you to be invested personally in your warrior uniform.

Now, as the grid systems in Chicago are very complex, i need to know what section of chicago area is the easiest for you to get to on your unicycle. can you please provide a crossroads of major streets? This goes for all my disciples. Soon, I will need to know crossroads of two major streets and your city that you can easily reach. I will need to pinpoint some strategic grid mapping systems and your location is of the utmost importance for quick response. This way I should also be able to protect you on the day of reconfiguration by taking out the enitre block off the electrical system before the first wave hits. More on this later. God reveals more to me each night in dreams - and sometimes in other odd places - also he may begin to reveal to you.. so pay attention to your innermost workings or any strange new mole configurations on your body. I got a message that way once. Keep your minds open!

Prepare like this is the last day. EVERY DAY. And one day it will be TRUE. And you will be like... HA! I am ready. This is my mantra for you today.

Meditate and discuss.

I look forward to your great photos. RockFish! you are now up on the wall of intimidation. Johnny says we get hits from robots all day long and I believe they aree loking at this pages and shaking now. Like a herd of waterbuffalos, we will surround you until you know there is no escape.

Thank you RockFish - I will compile this information and your location in the master book. Is your electrical system in that area overhead or buried?

Bless you Aimee! I need you right where you are! Everytihng has a purpose!

Thank you for this information! I will compile all of this together.

I am meditating on your Warrior name. Since you are so good at language and proofing, I think i may see you as our scribe. Perhaps your warrior name should be English? How about Scribber? I will think some more. perhaps another of the disciples will have inspiration.

Most important in this time is your braveness. You will need to be brave. Fear is from what is unknown. And I have already been shown that we will be victorious, so do not waste your time with fear. God has assured me of this. If we do the footwork, he will do his part as well.

Runnign out of time.

I look forward to your great uniform!


Haha, "Scribber". Why not?

I've already painted "1 of the 36" on an orange shirt. I should take a picture and send it off to PNL.

And Aimee's not my real name. Razz

 		Hello,

Just wanted to let you know I'm 1 of the 36 (oh, and I just started playing. Hi!). I think he enjoyed my letter.

Pastor Ludd,

As a follower of God, you know there are no coincidences in this world. Only His Mighty Hand guiding us to where we need to be. And as the combination of a single hand and Internet video is an important part of of my life, it should not surprise me that God has lead me to your YouTube account.

You see, I seek to do my duty and assist in His wishes to smite the inorganic heathens the world calls robots.

It was not all that many years ago that I met the woman of my dreams. I knew instantly she was the love of my life. And when we spoke, it was as if I'd known her forever. But then, after what seemed like only the briefest of time with her, she was stolen away. She told me that she no longer needed a human man, and had found a mechanical replacement. And although she mispronounced the name of my new enemy -- the robot -- as "rabbit" I knew I would have my vengeance on them just the same.

It was then that she and her intoxicated friends left the bar, thus ending the greatest 74 seconds of my life.

And so I wish to join your crew of 36. But I am no ordinary man. I bring with me the God-given ability to introduce world-shattering bugs into any code that I write. I can -- without even doing so consciously -- bring an end to nearly any machine that runs software I've created. Although other humans find this to be a detriment to their technology-based lives, and I have been "fired" from many "jobs" for this Heavenly gift, I feel it could be of great use to our cause.

Because of this ability to create bugs, co-workers have dubbed me "Mr. Cricket." And so that is the name I hope you will use.

I will send you a photo of my uniform shortly, modeled after those I have seen on your website.

Sincerely,

Mr. Cricket

Mr. Cricket,

Your vision and communication is as clear as i have seen. Your name and skills are a great match. I agree it is inspired. God is truly focusing now and we are seeing the fruit of our faith as an organ of his will. There is little time left for us to prepare and we are all going to be trialed by fire as they say. Shortly, God wil clear the path and we will walk to victory. I will need you and all of your being and skills. Welcome to the 36! I know i will be impressed by all of your warrior uniforms. Do not sweat in the details as we need only they are functional and simple. If you have time to embellish, that is fine, but I would rather see you in the purest oranges and browns than have you dwell on the physical which matters little in His Eyes. Although the oranges and browns will give us an advantage, it is our faith and conviction that will truly carry our souls over the finish line. So, please send me your information to inspre the others that are lagging in their preparation. I too have been too busy to make the uniform that I feel is worthy of this holy mission, but God is not really that picky. What is most important is that we are the 36 and our mission is near. Be prepared. My finger is on the trigger and God is going to tell me when to pull. At that time, you are my glorious bullets and we shall shower this filthy world with a rain of holy ammunition that will wash away this ignorance and tolerance of abomination in our midst. But you know that already.

In addition to photos, I need information about your location - city and crossroads nearby, standard information about the electricals grid system in your area (Phase, voltage, Hz and above ground or buried if you know) - also any special skills... visions or other things that may be pertinent to your brothrer s and sisters of the 36.

I must be on my way for now - I am honored to have you in our midst. Your software abilities maybe particular of use to me during this next phase. We can discuss that privately...

36, please greet our new bretheren. Nurture each other and prepare.

PNL


I sent him my location and grid information separately.

Riza,

Fantastic, you are good with small animals. We will call you The Shrew. How long would it take you to train a squirrel to pull a wire attached to it's tail to a destination that is up very high? The wire would be simple lamp cord. We need only to bridge, possibly, as a backup. Squirrels are very naturally talented at climbing wires, so it would be good to train one and then also have a backup attached in a small cage you could wear. Please continue your preparation and give me an update as soon as you can. Time is short now. And I am not just saying that - it is - and i am waiting for the final green light. Sometimes continuing to tell poeple we are close is frustrating. It's like when i was young and i thought nothing was ever happening fast enough and now I wish I could go back to those simple times. But I know God has a reason and it is not simply to make me repeat myself and look like a bumbling fool.. My ego is one of my shortcomings and i have to remember that I am not important enough for God to try to mess with just for fun. I find meditation soothing during these times. DO you know the song that does... digge digge digge digge DUN, DUN-DUN-DUN, DUN-DUN-DUN, DUN-DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNN....? I am having visions about a tune for our battle. Please let me know. This red bull tastes kind of like sweet tarts. COntinue your preparation!!

 		Just a thought... So, those of us who are following 011ie on twitter should either make a second account, or not follow PNL - lest that become an issue...

 		I contacted Johnny with the information deciphered so far (right before we found the twitter account), and asked about the enigmatic page 6. Here's his reply:

Johnny wrote:
Hello PostLarval--

It's good to hear from you, and good to see La Resistance De Robo is working hard trying to crack these pages before Ludd does anything... drastic.

RAM and I have been working on all this stuff as well, and have made some breakthroughs, but it's nice to have some new insights.

We got page one figured out, simple cipher that i've used myself before. Scary stuff he's got planned.

Page three, the date, we are right there with you. We figured the answer was 1/3, which means that all this is probably going down on the 13th. Which means we need to figure out how to stop it by the 12th.

Ram and I can't make heads or tails of the photograph, page 4. There is a symbol we don't recognize, and what seem like bible passage, but neither RAM nor myself are very well versed in the bible.

Page 5 looks about right, we can't be sure what the input device at the substations is going to be like, so hopefully that makes sense in context when we crack page 6.

As for page 6, I didn't know where else to send it, so I looked up an address saved in my memory banks from about a month or two ago and sent it there. Because the information associated with that address data was scrubbed, I can't even be really sure who i sent it to, but it seemed like a familiar place, like I had just sent something to it recently. I don't know, I'm hoping whoever it is will step forward when they get it in the next couple days.

Keep up the good work, looks like we only have a couple weeks to stop ludd, he still doesn't realize i intercepted the messages, he thinks his disciples are busy at work deciphering them, let's hope they don't get their hands on this information.

Viva La Resistance De Robo

Actually, the 36 have supposedly not gotten this information yet, so following PNL from a 2nd account would be weirder I think.

Also, following both 011iver and PNL can be explained as wanting to keep tabs on the enemy. Or just following the nutty/insane for entertainment, like many people watch FOX news.

 		Speaking of the dear nutty Pastor, he is quite disappointed with those of you who have joined the 36 but have not submitted a picture of yourself in your uniform yet. I think we should indulge him a bit. Smile

 		Hey all,

Busy week or so for me in RL again so I've been struggling to keep up with all the latest developments. Thanks to this thread and Rowan's wonderful guide I reckon I'm just about up to speed. Hope I'll be able to chip in again with something soon. Something I'm confused about, though: Johnny Lug has sent Ludd's instructions out to y'all so you know what to defend against, but am I right in thinking that Ludd hasn't actually contacted those of you who've joined the 36 with any specific instructions yet? He's cutting it a bit fine if so!
