I got a message from Adam. Actually, I think it was from Uno; unlike the call that Zelda received, the message that I got is extremely difficult to understand (it's quite quiet and there is crackling throughout). Also, he hasn't updated trust.htm to reflect the message left to me. However, he does refer to himself as "Adam Omega" in the message.

Unfortunately, I do have to consider the possibility that it's OOG. My Facebook was set to allow friends of friends to view my contact info; anybody who was on Uno's friendlist would be able to get my number to fuck with me. This has (of course) been changed, so that any calls I get in the future will be from the PM himself (or from the first person who called me; but I hope to know shortly whether that person is IG or not). My phone was off at the time, so my caller ID won't tell me who called (in fact it doesn't even record that I missed a call); however, my voice mail tells me that it was received yesterday (17th) at 1:35 AM from a blocked number. That does seem like Adam/Uno.

I've sent Adam a message on Facebook asking him to see if he may have made any calls while he's been losing time. Best case scenario is that he finds my number on his outgoing call history and I have verification that Uno called me. The problem is, Adam/Uno seem to use payphones, so even if he tells me he didn't find it, it could still be IG. I implied to him IG that it may have been somebody outside of him who got his number from Facebook and is trying to throw us off track. Hopefully the PM will see that and be able to give me a definitive answer.

In the mean time, I'm going to record the message to see if anybody can make heads or tails of it. Until I manage that, here's an approximate transcript. It's very difficult to decipher. Anything I've placed in brackets I'm unsure of.
Quote:
"This is Adam Omega. Any phone calls [from] anybody is [going to be risky] for me [for] [a while[???]]. [I've been forced[???]]. I'd be happy to prove such, [by point of fact], but... [?]."
The "I've been forced" part is really just my best guess. It's almost impossible to hear over the crackling. That's the approximate syllabic length though, and it does seem that the last word is "forced" or "false".

Immediately preceding that ("for a while"), is even more of a guess. It sounds like the first word is "for", but after that I'm just filling in blanks; the message sounds like it has more "f"s in it. Again, I believe that's the number of syllables he's using. It could be "to pull off"

The last part is just too garbled to make sense of. At different times, I've thought it was "this is too hilarious", ".... Aquarius", "... Polaris", "history...", "that would be precarious", and "... care for us" . If I'm just putting words together from what I hear (making no sense), I'd say he said "history Aquarius". It fits the syllables and sounds. There's the side skeptical of me which hears "this is too hilarious" every time. It really is the best fit, to my ears. But, if I look at it objectively, that mocking tone doesn't fit with the rest of the message.

Does anybody know if there's any way to directly send a message from your voice mail to your computer? I'd like to be able to listen to it on headphones, and if I post it up here for you all to listen to/play around with (maybe somebody would be able to reduce the distortion I'm hearing), it would be best to do it without the step of re-recording it.

What wiresless carrier do you use and what kind of phone? I'll see if I can find out... . google??
If your phone has speaker-phone, you could play the message while recording it on your computer.... probably not the best solution, but might work..

Do you have a way to connect your phone and your computer? Cable, or blue-tooth?

see anything helpful here?

Perhaps this has lost it's significance since Uno said this so long ago.

But when Uno said 9>8 I think what he may have been trying to say is that we are but mere players in his created world.

Although I don't see a connection to the movie "The Nines", an interesting parallel can be made.

The PM is a "nine (like the main character in the movie) in that he, with his god-like capacity for creating fictive world, has created the one in which we now "live". In fact, a lot of us do not seem to have joined this game of our own independent volition, but rather were brought here by Uno, one of the multiple characters our "creator" uses to interact with us.

Cassandra is another "nine" in the sense that she seems to be trying to get Uno to let go of this fictive world he has created (like the antagonist in the movie was trying to do) while we, the "sevens" (or humans who populate a nine's fictive world) appear to be trying to keep him in it long enough for him to reveal why he created it in the first place.

Perhaps this is why Uno seems to get so riled up whenever anyone tries to figure out Cassandra's role in this game.

Wow! Actual phone calls admonishments on impatience=loving it! Has anyone ever gotten called by an ARG Character before?
My ? is " how many characters are we dealing with?"
Adam -the human guy we r helping & who has blackouts
UNO - who writes in 5,6,7,8 & 9s ( may use Adam for
messages that he's more aware of since Adam references that 'they' call him UNO)
but who uses the Red text? And whose messages manifet opposite to Adams?
I thnk that 9 or nine may be a seperate entity and uses red txt vs. Uno's num69ring system and Adam's plain text.

Also red text is more associative with chaos/aggression like the garbled messages (referring to phone calls)

Arrow

Has anyone else noticed the arrow in the bottom-left corner of the main page?

hallucinine.com

Also the title of the chapter2/p17a page is "ineedafix"

the little "arrow" is just part of the source code... like a typo.
The "ineedafix", (I need a fix)... in my opinion, was the pm showing a sense of humor about everyone being so impatient wanting/demanding new info.
It's relating to his comments on the page about the phone calls, e-mails, spreading his sickness, etc...
--
As always, I could be wrong, but that's my take on it.


---edit
Looking at that page again... it seems odd the way the coordinates are listed for that tag. I mean the second set of coords. for the tag are very specific. "It's not laid out in a simple rectangle pattern-- why not? It would have been much easier...
Instead... we have:
Quote:

176,52,216,24,262,16,318,19,376,29,419,59,455,102,470,170,
472,261,473,513,484,746,476,842,439,849,382,825,373,811,
367,679,361,513,360,404,341,384,322,382,279,398,218,384,
172,341,127,254,131,148,141,97,160,64


-- So, a question for the pros..... possible puzzle or clue?
