 		One of my fellow 9s is someone on the inside methinks...
both their email address and The Nobility's address contain the number 179.
Coincidence? I think not.

Only way I could see them not being a mole is if someone just made a new account to use 179 at the end. So... I'm voting insider too.

Oh, also: I'm a 7.

 		Well Tayla did put on her application that she had certain affinity for 1's and 7's. I'd say it's more of a coincidence. But still, good to keep an eye on? (Sorry Tayla. Sad )

Anyone who's interested in signing up for the ARG though... You should definitely use an ARG email if you're worried about your personal email. It's just safe practice.

I'm interested to know what the significance of splitting us into groups is. Perhaps to keep us from giving vital information to each other, or as a test of sorts? I wasn't emailed about theAutomaton (should I call you Sid? :3) being a 9, and it made me wonder if they're TRYING to get us not to trust each other!

 		I don't think Tayla is a mole. But just in case, let's point out that anyone in-game should not be posting on here Smile

The only thing is we're still technically allowed to post any information we receive or find (if anyone chooses to) on this board because it's OOG. It doesn't exist in the realm of the ARG. Not sure how that's going to play out since they stated they don't want the 9's sharing info...

Very good point (about both things :3).

I'm tempted to not post 9 info right off the bat in case it effects game play. I guess it all depends on what this secret information is... It's kind of hard to tell as of yet. Sad

Have any other groups gotten different information/instructions?

Current Summary:
TalyaA - 9
xomunkixo - 9
theAutomaton - 9
Korinthian - 8
xoxo_pr0ud - 8
Aiobhan - 8
ninjaPhilanthropist - 7
Dav.y - 7
Ofiuco - ?

 		Man, I haven't done one of these in years.

Emailed and filled out questionnaire. Hopefully I get a number soon.

Also, noblesse oblige is an old French idea which states that in order to be noble, one must act honourably in "a fashion which conforms to one's position".

Could it be that our numbers indicate how "noble" we've been acting?

I donno.

Honestly, I WANT someone to post information on here that they're not supposed to, to see if it affects game play (because it shouldn't if the PM's are following UF rules). I'm hesitant with the whole "don't share information with others", because I've watched PM's in other games get angry when players do just that, even though this board isn't supposed to exist IG. Maybe I'm just causing trouble by even pointing that out Razz For all I know we have a very experienced PM at the helm who understands UF.

I didn't receive any other information from them. Just that they would be in touch

 		Has anybody else been contacted past the point of being numbered? I'm still waiting for something from them. Keep looking up anything of relevance, but I'm coming up short on everything besides the same Noblesse Oblige thing that Aiobhan found - stumbled around for awhile looking for anything relating to Quobe, but the most I found was a DeviantArt user, and some Norwegian (I think it's Norwegian) inactive band on Last.fm.

So like do any of you have any experiences with the PARANORMAL??


Just got that e-mail -- most of you probably did, too. First couple things that caught my attention was the name - Apate Dolos, or the email apateanddolos.

Apate and Dolos

Gods of deceit and trickery. E-mail sounds way too excited, lol - apparently s/he's a 9. I'm assuming s/he's not to be trusted, considering the name.
