Man, you guys move fast in a few hours...

First off, just to put in my two cents, Institute for the Future of Medicine is definitely over. I played it, and it was awesome, but it's done with. I know that has little to do with this, but just thought that I'd clear up any confusion remaining.

As to the topic at hand, yeah, as far as I remember, this is all just pre-game right now. Which isn't to say that it's not a game, just not the game. Anybody who followed Intimation may or may not be aware that that game was similar: that "Prologue" was about 8+ months, and the actual game is just preparing to start now. Though the prologue was very enthralling in itself.

In any case, just because this has been labeled as pre-game doesn't mean that it should be written off as nothing. We've already had character interaction, which means that the PM is at least interested in playing a bit before the game really "starts." I'm thinking that what we do here will probably affect the game itself once it actually starts. And I don't know why, but I can't shake the feeling that Shanna is going to play some major role in this... probably just because many of the games that I've played recently had something to do with a young damsel in distress, haha.

Sorry if any of this has been driven in to the grave, but:

New picture on the site and new song "Time in a Bottle" by Jim Croce. (This is definitely not Shanna's Dad's playlist. )

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that Id like to do
Is to save every day
Till eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
Id save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
Ive looked around enough to know
That youre the one I want to go
Through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
Ive looked around enough to know
That youre the one I want to go
Through time with


Looks like either Prone or Prune in the corner

I just sent CR the first email I received from Iris, giving a bit of history behind it etc. I asked for his thoughts and theories on it, and I would continue to try and locate all the emails I received from Iris.

One question tho - at some point, we figured out "Iris" stood for something - Ipswitch Rsomethign Isomething Ssomething .. and I wasn't able to locate the page it was one. Does anyone recall?

I had one other thought, and it probably won't bear out - but what if all of the pictures that have been posted on the Mine website so far, are a smaller part of a larger picture? I realize that in hindsight they couldn't possibly fit together (the spaceman/spacewalk and the redwood trees). Work permitting today, I'm going to try and grab a copy of each of the pics we've posted and put them together in order - maybe they tell some sort of story.. /shrug.

I'll let you know when I've heard back from CR or Iris.

I sent an email to IRIS a bit ago using some perl commands, this is what I got back...

I realized i buggered the code a bit, im rubbish with perl, so I fixed it up as best I could and sent it back again...i'm probably pursuing something fairly worthless, but im curious to see what a system/file check on IRIS would come up with.
