The Virgil Blackstone blog, quoting Scripture verses, relates to the latest City Journal Post article about the Bible theft from a bookstore in the City. It takes the perspective of a quasi-Fundamentalist Christian conspiracy theory. Googling their 'King James Guild' brought up no other direct links, so it's most likely created specifically for this game. (The Paradox Papers paranoia people should love it!)

There's a number of typos/misspellings in their blog posts (all written within minutes of each other yesterday... although the blog was created in June). The errors are probably from haste in typing, although there's a slight chance they're encoding some hidden message.

Glad that our Canadian PM's have returned from the holiday weekend; things should pick up now and move forward again!

Hello all, A couple of things:

1. Paradox Papers is not part of the game. They are trying to help in a way that made them seem in game. Ill get into that after I get home from work if anyone is interested.

2. I googled Virgil Blackstone and found: http://thesocietyfortheadvancementoftruths.blogspot.com/
I havent had time to go over it all because im at work.

I'll be back later on for any questions regarding PP


While I think you may be right about PP, I'm inclined to ask: "Where's your proof?"

I agree that PP hasn't necessarily given us any evidence they're IG except that they've been pointing out stuff that we missed. (The ColeHardTruth reference in the City post after ColeHardTruth had been erased, for example.)

I don't know if PP is out of game or if its the manifestation of a Puppetmaster who isn't abiding by thr rules of Unforun, all I know is that he/she/they are, at the very least, very observant to detail.

I will send a PM to anyone who wishes about PP, but I have been asked not to post their emails on the forum and will respect that. Now time to scour this new blog!!

FWIW those typos appear to be the way the King James Bible (edition 1611) was originally writen and little_vicious' typos above are straight from Nirvana.

I might pester him on his blog. This "Resistance group" kinda seems the weirdest one of the three, tho.

What does everyone think we should do with the ID badge? Im going to email Marie-France and ask her who Ailith Allen is.
Have we made any headway on that QR code?

ETA:
These are the missing parts from the verses he's quoting in his blog (not sure what to do with them, if anything)

To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty
that turn from the truth
And it came to pass, because the midwives

ETA2:
I received a response from Marie-France:
Quote:
Hello,

AIlith? She's the Executive Secretary upstairs, a real octopus. The lid on many pots, so to speak.

Why do you ask?

MF

Now how do I answer that....
ETA3:
Having quite the conversation with her now, I may get suspended lol!

None. As I've mentioned after considerable photoshopping I believe it's not readable as is. Hope you have more luck in chatting with her & don't get suspended. Smile

Im not suspended yet! I asked Ailith Allen was, she said a secretary upstairs, she asked why, I said a friend found her ID. She asked me to return it and I said that would be hard to to. I said my friend was quite taken with the QR code, to which she said:
Quote:
As for the ID, the QR code is for internal use and user authentication.

I then went on to bug her about Ace and Andrea eventually sending her the link to the article in the Post about transit prices that talks about Ace as an activist. Still waiting to hear back from that one.

Ok, now I am just annoyed. I thought that the PM had just been ignoring the Colefusion Characters since when I emailed them lately I have gotten no replies no matter who or what I emailed.

Apparently they're just ignoring ME! Gah. Gah I say!

Re: QR codes; find someone who was involved in the Star Trek ARG a couple of years back. It seemed at the time like all we they did for two weeks was reconstruct QR codes from blurry photographs.

EDIT: To clarify, I shouldn't have really said "we" - I played the ARG but wasn't involved in the QR work. I just remember being very impressed by their achievements. I think they reconstructed it from scratch on a grid, rather than photoshopping an image? I'll see if I can dig out anyone's name to ask them.

Thanks bigtime Sarah. Reconstructing the QR from a template seems the most viable option atm. And Hi CapnZ. Maybe Ace will now be the one fired, retiring pensionless to The New Hope Mission & eating cold weiners from a tin? Laughing

There is a new article in the post, another murder, its is word for word the same article that was in the post last time just with a different name. They even used the same picture!
Here is the conversation I had with MF:
Quote:

ME:Who is Ailith Allen?
MF:Hello,AIlith? She's the Executive Secretary upstairs, a real octopus. The lid on many pots, so to speak.Why do you ask?
ME:I see, a freind found her ID badge, why isnt she listed on the executives page? Its stuff like that, that makes people come up with crazy conspiracy theories.
MF:The executive page is for executives. Ailith, being a secretary, is not an executive.Return the badge to the CIO and we'll make sure it gets back.
ME:Andrea Winterspoon is on there as a community liason? I dont know if he will give it to me, he's pretty taken with the QR code on the back, whats that about? Ill try my best.
MF:Andrea is an executive. Ailith is a secretary. I'm not sure how much more clear I can be.As for the ID, the QR code is for internal use and user authentication. Your friend had better return the badge soon or we'll file a reset request to the IT department.
ME:When did Andrea start? I dont seem to remember her being with us, lets say, 4 weeks ago. For that matter, I dont recall Ace being there either.
MF:They've been here as long as I can remember.Don't you have work you should be doing? I do. Leave me alone.
ME:Ill let you get back to your work, but I leave you with this, how long far back do you remember?
Read this: http://www.cityjournalpost.com/transit-costs-to-skyrocket/
ME:If you put me in touch with Ailith I may be able to convince him to return the badge
ME:Sorry if I touched a nerve there, I just want to know all the facts. As it turns out the ID is in pieces and he won't be able to read the QR code anyways, he's tried. As for me waiting your time, I think after you read that article you should be asking Ace about wasted time! Please, masquerading about town as an anti poverty activist! How does a big time exec have time for that? I swear I saw him in another article too, just can't find that one, something about a soccer game or something. Ah well back to work, go Protoarm!!


And heres one between Sandra Mcqueen and I:
Quote:

ME:Why did you change your article? (in reference to the breakdown article removing colehardtruth, sent with screen shot of article)
Another thing, I know this is not your article, but in Cliff Owens article on rising transit costs he refers to Ace Harrold.: "When you begin charging the city's working poor $5 per ride, you begin throwing hurdles in their way," said local anti-poverty activist Ace Harrold. "Affordable transportation is the mark of a mature society and I fear that we're slipping in the wrong direction."
Yet now Ace is an executive at ColeFusion?? http://www.colefusion.net/executives
Things are not right!!!! Join the fight!!!!
http://capnz-forgottentruth.blogspot.com/
SM:Dear sir, I'm afraid I have no idea what you're talking about. I have no wish to be included in your conspiracy theories and am, frankly, offended that you would accuse me of changing my news articles.
ME:Very well, that choice is yours, when the truth comes out we will all be free!

So now im a raving lunatic!!! Them not acknowledging the proof that I showed them leads me to believe that my blog will just be used for reference and keeping all the lost info.

CapnZ, believe your blog is gonna be crucial at some point. Cara sent me the below email. Those others, their actual reality, all they know, is altered/adjusted imo.

Thank you Amandel, I will follow the group closely.(meaning "Forgotten Truth": my note)
