 		Added him before but I don't think he's accepted me as of yet. Also, congrats(I think) to the King and Queen. What are we supposed to be doing now?

Not sure if we're king and queen just yet. We still have time.

Right now I think we're waiting. I've looked at all the pictures in the group and can't make heads or tails of a lot of them.

Edit:

Claire Hoskyns Home from work and what do I find? Vanessa. Lots of messges about you! From you! You really are something aren't you? First you get me to be worried because you shop for coats with a boy for two hours and then you pul this. Yes, I will scan for you. But don't expect a christmas present this year as well!! Hope things w...ork out with you and your uncle hun. I'm on other end of phone if needed. hugs.

Claire Hoskyns Oh, and heads up to anyone else who might be asking me anything about these odd papers - no I don't know anything, no I've not got them - she's posting them today and UK post system is shit at best, but over Christmas...?! Don't expect them to be done for a good few days. When I get them I'll post them up in that 7.. g...roup ok? Oh, and I DON'T play chess - I've got a snail brain apparently!!!

 		Ah thanks to the wonderful Gisk in the UF IRC, I'm back! Appears I typoed my email address when I went to change it. 'Telox954' in the email instead of an 's'. Any way, now I can get back on this.

I wasn't aware I was made officer, but, 'computer prince'? I know I helped her with her computer issues, and that I was given her number to contact her, but, I didn't figure I had that much trust.

Wonder how I'm going to play 'both sides' now, as I've been helping Vlad out more than V. Of course, the helping Vlad was to by proxy, help V, by figuring out what these pieces of information were about, but still. Hopefully this doesn't cut my trust out with Vlad.

I've basically given up on being the king. But, I'm sure even if I'm not, Vlad won't just cut me right out.


So, Dawn. You and I are V's 'king and queen', and, you're also going to be Vlad's queen based on game scores? Or am I missing something?

Honestly? No idea. I have absolutely no clue wtf is going on. Guess we'll find out when "ascension" happens. I didn't even start out wanting to beat anybody. Then, I hit #2 and this strange feeling came over me and a competitive streak I didn't know I had overcame me and I tried like hell to get a higher score. I really didn't anticipate beating Vlad's score, lol.

I'd text V myself, but my only cell right now is my work phone. Don't think the company would be too happy with overseas charges of any kind. Or even an overseas number on the bill, lol.

It now seems the two of us, more than the other folks, are playing both sides. I've been V's "trusty friend" and then accepted Vlad's task to become Queen. This could get really interesting and weird.

 		I've been playing both sides from the start, but I figured with this whole 'ascension' deal, I would be herded in to a spot, not have to still be both, or pick a side. I'm still going to go with playing both, but, I think I'm going to be a little more careful.

As for texting. I know I have a limited international texting plan(like 10 international texts a month or some shit.) - but every time I attempt with any format, I get
Quote:
'Message sent using invalid number of digits. Please resend using 10 digit number or valid short code. Msg 2214'


I've tried with out the country code and get nothing. I do have another way of doing it. All cellphones are tied to an email address. Like, Sprint is "@messaging.sprintpcs.com" and Tmobile is "@tmomail.net". Just gotta find the carrier for her phone and it's matching email Smile


Edit ::
Vlad asked me to take a screenshot of the weekly score for the game, and send it to him, as he may not be around at 1:11am, supposedly has guests (I'm thinking PM has guests irl, but, is letting us know in game). Well, 1.11am Vlad's time - according to the World Clock time calculator, and his message about how many minutes were left - is 8:11pm EST - so, that's when I'll be taking the shot. If you guys want to push for a higher score, you have 5 hours to do it.

Edit 2 ::
I also added Donna(Well, her PM - Bixy ) to the group. Iunno if she's going to follow the game, but, she joined Facebook, and I know she mentioned possibly checking it out. If you see a Beka in the group - I let her in.

 		*waves* I am the aforementioned "Beka". Also "Donna", if you can't remember that Donna Jameson isn't real. *teases Telos*

I have to admit, I've read the whole thread and am still horrifically confused. I know Vlad is possibly a stalker and is blocked, and Vanessa is scanning papers for her uncle (I think?) and is doing something with family trees... yeah, that's about it.

I don't suppose anyone has a recap anywhere?

Hey, I know Donna isn't real - but I was clearing it up for people who don't know you by Bixy or Beka. Neutral

Any way, I sent you a TL;DR version on Failbook.

Oh, psh, let me have my fun with you.

also, if that version was teal deer, you really haven't seen my rambles when I try to explain things. Okay, caught up to speed somewhat, now I just have to wait for V and Vlad to accept my friend requests on facebook.

I mean that this is the long stuff. The TL;DR would be the summary of it. As in 'the original was too long, here's a shorter one.'
-shrug-

V probably won't any time soon.
Iunno about Vlad.

 		Hello all! I've been following your game instead of being responsible at work, and I must say, I'm intrigued. I'd like to get involved, but it sounds kind of like I may be a bit late (what with officers already assigned, relationships forged and a shaky trust emerging). Looks like this game may be the first to convince me to finally make that ARG FB page that I should have long ago.

Also, in case it hasn't been discovered yet, the odd drawing posted by dawndilion on page 10 is not a chemical equation; it's a factor tree. The number at the top is the product of the two below it, and the trend continues down to the bottom. Ultimately, the numbers at the bottom will all be prime, and their combined product will be equal to the number at the top. Probably doesn't help much, since we only have three out of the eight listed roots, but I thought I'd throw in my two cents.

I thought it looked like a factor tree, but, it's been YEARS since I had to use one. (Or rather, years since I was assed to show up to class and use it.). If we knew the top number, it'd be easy.. bah. I'm sure the letters are some hint, but, Iunno how we'd use 'em.

Yeah, I'm not sure where that fits into anything that I've read you guys talking about. I just thought that I would bring it up. Actually, it's been a long time since I've used one either; I'm rather surprised that I still remember it!

 		I think maybe that sheet from Manchester University may play in to that tree.
Not 100% sure, but, the stuff on there has to be of some use.

I don't remember ever doing factor trees in school, but then again, I was so terrible at math, we may have done them and I simply cannot remember.

On the last row, there is a symbol that looks like the Greek letter Psi, except it's upside down. I have no idea what any of this means.

Also, since apparently I'm waiting for my coronation or whatever, I've been thinking about the pic Vanessa posted this morning. Countess Giulietta Guicciard is the strongest contender for being Beethoven's Immortal Beloved (really great movie, btw). Supposedly, someone who knew Beethoven said that it was definitely her, but the guy was prone to exaggeration, so no one really knows for sure. Other than that, it seems the Countess was pretty unremarkable. She married nobility and that's about it.

TL,DR: The Countess is important: "I will help them understand you". Was V's mom someone's Immortal Beloved?

I was thinking that the Countess would be a metaphor for something. I know the whole 'Immortal Beloved' connection - but, that doesn't tell anyone who she is, or how to understand her. I think it may be a personification of an organization's ideals or symbology , something. An organization Annabelle or J (or both.) belonged to.

A cult, rebellion, ect.

Iunno. Grasping for straws with that.

Edit :: Hour to go before Vlad wants me to get him that screenshot.
