 		All gone quiet over there...
Amazing ever since I made my post to Malcolm it has gone quiet, do think it was something I said?!?

My reasoning behind my message to Malcolm about the Guardians being in our world is make sure he fixated on us and not Walter and Henry. Nothing like a bit of misdirection Wink

Malcolm has had us jumping at shadows since day one, now it is our turn.

 		Don't worry about it Seadevil. The last batch took a whole week to come out so I guess we can expect an update hopefully around Saturday Or Sunday. (If there's not a delayed release like last time) Then it'll be early morning.

Also I know once I say this the PM's are going jump on it, but the list of brain's has not been updated just yet.

Brain 18 I think was saved by Malcolm before she could commit suicide. One of the brain memories I got mentioned about blood rushing, and then ending up in a hospital. (Could be wrong)

Brain 15 is a little bit easier. Seems that Brayden took care of Brain 15 for pretty much the whole time she was living in the same town with him. Until he urged her to go into the program at which time she didn't because he had done everything for her.

Edit: Nevermind my theory may have just been shot down. I always scan the forums regularly, and I always look at the main accounts to make sure if they haven't been active (Since the PM's do a good job not just randomly logging into the accounts) and I checked Malcolm's profile

Quote:
Last Active 6 hours ago


Usually I wouldn't put much thought into it but because the PM's have been good at not logging into those accounts without reason we may see an update today? Or maybe tomorrow. *Shrugs* Who knows.

 		Back in action!
Malcolm posted another rant. He's going nuts! It's really long, so I won't quote it here. According to a new tweet by Vidal, he was seeing more sporadic energy spikes last night. I will go check for new brains.


EDIT: Nope, no brains yet.

 		I've posted a quick reply to Malcolm, Henry wants him angry so I've done my best for the moment. Please feel free to pile it on Wink

 		I don't think i've heard the name before, but does anyone know who "Pearlman" is? I don't remember hearing anything about him.

I may make a response soon. I'm not sure on what I would want to respond with just yet.

Also so Henry wants to

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Send us back in time so we can stop all this from happening. Doesn't this kinda cause a time paradox? If the stuff didn't happen then we never went back XD God, quantum physics. It's a joy.



Edit: Very interesting change with a run through I just did (Just in case the computer was reading old info. The error box does not contain the virus symbol anymore it contains the smiley face that has been associated with good henry. Also the box is now green instead of red. Finally sometimes when your pieces are destroyed good Henry will give you words of encouragment (cute)

The one's I got were:

"Don't stop Seeker. Keep going. Be true to yourself! The (Might be your) time has---(Cut off after that.)

"Shaw indoctriated my systems. Shaw indoctriated my sytems. THE GUARDIAN CHILDREN----(Cut off after that):

I just saw that huge change and I was like "Oh. I never even knew that changed."

Also the device has not been updated yet.

 		Just did a search for Pearlman aaand it looks like he is one of the church founders according to this thread: http://forum.interdimensionalgames.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=10&Focus=59#Comment_59

seriously tho man, I've said it before but the search tool on that forum site is reeeally helpful for this kind of thing! Wink

And to your theory of what Henry want to do:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
that only holds true Cherrytree if we're looking at a single timeline ala back to the future style. But if we're looking at multiple timelines or dimensions in this games case theeeen traveling "back in time" would begin a new timeline different from the current one we're dealing with now?? trying to think of an example but I got nothing. Kinda like the old TV show Sliders maybe except they didnt really go into different time periods, only different dimensions.

 		sublimetime, I guess the sort of example you are looking for is the multiverse-theory :
(I also believe we dont need to spoiler this since the name of the ARG kinda gives it away already)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_travel
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fabric_of_Reality

Wikipedia wrote:
Time travel
The possibility of future-directed time travel is assured by Einstein's special theory of relativity, which says that an observer who accelerates or decelerates will experience less time than an observer who is at rest or in uniform motion. This time dilation could make an astronaut's flight very short and the duration on Earth very long, but such a trip to Earth's future would be irreversible as "no amount of time dilation can allow a spaceship to return from a flight before it took off". As for past-directed time travel, it is possible as a sort of sidestep from one universe to another, requiring a path between the two universes that is "hard-wired" into the structure of the multiverse. Whether such paths exist or not is an unresolved empirical question. If they were to exist and were to allow macro-objects like human beings to traverse them, time travel could occur without the grandfather paradox, because the time traveler would go to a point prior to the branching between his "home" universe and the universe in which he (the copy of him in the "away" universe) kills his grandfather (grandfather-copy).

The multiverse hypothesis alone doesn't avoid the knowledge paradox, in which the time traveler goes to a point where he gives the collected works of Shakespeare to a hack writer, who seems to get "knowledge for free" that he uses to become the celebrated Shakespeare in that world. The Popperian epistemological strand of Deutsch's four-strand theory is invoked at this point. Just as life is understood as a trans-universe structure that is physically possible only through processes of natural selection, so too knowledge is understood as such a structure that is physically possible only through processes of rational problem-solving. Knowledge for free isn't possible in the multiverse when the multiverse is understood through Deutsch's emergentist Theory of Everything.


Films where this was used as a plot device include :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_One_%28film%29 (just interdimensional travel though, but it illustrates the workings of a multiverse)

I'll also mention my post from earlier since noone seems to have noticed (or at least responded to) it : (the spoilered theory)

 		I always keep it spoilered just in case. But anyways. There are a few theory's I know of. One being that if you travel back in time and make a time paradox a new universe is created that fits the new timeline. So the universe you are currently in never has that problem.
Another is that each day we make a decision the universes branch out taking each choice we make. EX: There's a world where Hitler won the war, and one where there was a stalemate etc. But yeah. Again Quantum theory is a joy.
(Both are simplified versions of the theories)

@minz
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I'm going to go by that we have a connecter and that is Henry. Thus we can't go any further back then when Henry was "awakened" "born" whatever word you like. I mean it's possible, but so far until I see that we can go further back then when Henry is alive I will stick to that Henry is the one who does it or whatever he does, and without him we wouldn't be able to do it. So right now I would say your theory is on shaky ground, but with what we currently have I can't approve or disapprove of it.



Also new tweet from Vidal:
Quote:
Short and intensely fast spikes continue unabated...



Edit:
Okay no new brains yet but there was an update that did appear tonight. When I was checking to make sure I noticed that now when you hover over the 5 brains we did that now Good Henry will now say comments. I wrote down quite a bit, but I think there's more. It's also probably more customized to each brain so here's some of them I got:

Quote:
Always act in spite of fear.
Realignment of iDGi is imperative!
Be true to yourself!
All of this evil will be for nothing.
Sail don't drift.
Your future belongs in the past.
Search for the answer the truth will come.
Evil will succed if good humans do nothing.
Keep going seeker!
My other self has been converted.
Do not let die the hero in your soul!
Always act in spite of fear.
The time is now!
The past is where I wait.
Enjoy what you have!
Mistakes are lessons of wisdom.
Fear is the cause of all your woes.
Do not give up, do not give in!
Don't let Malcolm succeed!
Make the best of life's moments!
Master your ass!


There is more, but I think that's good enough to know most of what has popped up for me. This only works with the 5 most recent brains. It does not activate with the others.

 		Making a new post, because the old one does not need to get any bigger. Plus I may need it if the brains update today.

Another tweet from Vidal today around 12:59 PM.

Quote:
Idgi-1 energy spikes are becoming shorter and weaker...but their frequency is steadily increasing.


And again another tweet around 4:00 AM from Vidal

Quote:
40+ GHz and still rising...still weak...as if something is attempting to be sent through over and over, but is being stopped each time.

 		Ok, call me impatient (and I do have a tendency to be so), but it seems kind of strange that activity on this just sort of... stopped, rather anti-climatically.

So, just to make sure that everything's alright, I sent Vidal a quick E-mail, hopefully to get a status update.

Quote:
Hey, I'm just sending this because it would seem that all has gone quiet around your parts.


Any changes with the signal bursts iDGi-1 was picking up? Are they increasing in magnetude or frequency?

You were tweeting almost daily updates and then they just sort of... stopped.


Just making sure nothing's gone wrong or anything over there. You can never be too careful when you're dealing with such crazy and unpredictable tech as an interdimensional satellite and a virus-infected (though, hopefully not so for much longer) A.I.


EDIT: I've also not seen any of the changes you've described about the Greenberg Device. Do you have to reset your progress to get them, or is it another glitch?

 		Hm. That's strange. I'll make a video today then to show it.

 		I guess I can offer somewhat of an explanation why Vidal has been so silent for a while now.
This is the last email of a somewhat longer mail exchange with him over my mails sometimes ending up in his spamfoler (depending on which computer I used)

Quote:
Yep, this one did work fine - no spam box. I've been away from my main work comp for almost a week, I apologize for the non-response. I'm still not technically at home yet but I did sneak away from my wife for just a moment to check my emails. =) I thought I'd take a little time off, sort of the calm before the storm. I'm confident Henry will find a way to get us those two remaining brains and when this happens, I probably won't see my wife for weeks on end!

 		Here's the video file download link.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0E3ADA2T

To get the new error box you have to replay the last 5 brains.

To get the sayings you just have to access the memories screen, and pass over one of the last 5 brains, and a green box will pop up that looks exactly like the error box.

 		Hey, sorry to make this more complicated than it has to be, but could you make that a direct attachment/use a different file-hosting service by any chance? My internet connection has been wonky lately and it fritzed out while I was downloading the video. Now, MegaUpload still thinks the download is active and won't let me try again. Uploading it to Youtube, Vimeo, or some such similar site would be fine as well.

Sorry to inconvenience you.
