No response for me, either...Hopefully the fact that only 7 people are playing(according to the agents list) doesn't put off the PM. Been over a week since any word from Eden, is there anything left for us to figure out before the inventors puzzle comes out?

FWIW, my list was Cai Lun, Gutenberg, Da Vinci, Edison, and Tesla.

Awesome. My list was:

1. Archimedes (287 - 212 B.C.)
2. Johannes Gutenberg (1394 -1468)
3. Alexander Graham Bell (1847 - 1922)
4. Nikola Tesla (1865 - 1943)
5. Jerome Hal Lemelson (1933 - 1997)

Hello all-

Just thought I'd say a quick hello and let you know that, although a latecomer, you have a new helper on board. I've signed up at the CPA website as well as e-mailed Eden, so hopefully I'll be caught up soon.

Welcome to it, dbwj! It's good to have another player on this. This has the potential to be extremely interesting and having another mind to work at it is definitely good!

Glad I checked up on this topic... I just realized that I had completely forgotten to send in my list of inventors! I kind of just tossed a list together hastily, but here's what I submitted:

Johannes Gutenberg
Alexander Graham Bell
Nikola Tesla
Konrad Zuse
Vint Cern/Bob Kahn

...I am disappointed that I managed to forget both Bell -and- Gutenberg.

here's mine.

Zaccharias & Hans Jannsen- Compound Microscope ~1590
Charles Babbage - Computer 1822
Ernest Lawrence - Cyclotron 1930
Tim Berners-Lee - Internet 1989

I wasn't sure if I should count the Jannsens as one inventor in my count or as two, but...

You know, pastafa, it looks like the two of us included similar inventions, though our inventors were different! I listed Zuse as the inventor of the first Turing-complete computer, and Cern/Kahn as the inventors of TCP/IP. Slight differences, but interesting all the same!

Im just getting into ARGs, but this seems really cool. i've read up on everything on the forum and emailed Eden. Anything else I can do to help?

Hi, toucansam! Welcome!

This particular game has been quiet for a little while. While that doesn't necessarily mean that it's not going to go anywhere, you might have a better shot at getting involved in another game, and popping back in if things pick back up. It sounds like the Louis Walks game will be starting soon, so that would be a great place to start. Best of luck, and see you around!

....and, we're back.

New post on Eden's blog, and the CPA page has changed.

I suppose Hitler is an "easy" answer, but really (and unfortunately), so many to choose from...Bin Laden, Amin, etc...

Hell, after the last couple weeks, "Sandusky" seems like not that bad of an option.

One last thought...So far, JFK has played a role in this ARG, so I can't help but wonder if they want us to answer "oswald"...the weird thing is, to look at the events of 11/22/63 coldly (having not been alive then), I wonder, apart from the shock of having a sitting US President assassinated (a horrific event, to be sure), just how much would have been diffferent if JFK had lived, but not re-elected in '64...besides Stephen King book sales, of course...

I received an email from the CPA with the subject: deleted and the body of the email had the word "Deleted" in it as well. I replied to see if it was a mistake or something else...

Edit: The About page on the CPA site has a quote from Virginia Woolf from Orlando with a cipher at the bottom:

I dont know if anyone else got this, but I just received this from the CPA via email:

I got the same emails, except for the one about the rabbit hole. Glad to see that this didn't join the list of games that disappear into who knows where!

It sounds as though we need to get more people involved in the game for it to proceed. Both the emails and Eden's blog suggest that recruitment needs to be stepped up. There are currently 7 agents listed on the CPA page, so we need at least three more people to sign up.

I'm confused about Micah's update. The last thing that Eden told us that The Corps told her to do was to inform the CPA. Now, we hear that she's been trying to infiltrate it? It sounds kind of like there's some pieces missing.

I replied to the previous email about the rabbit hole asking if they could elaborate and I just got this reply:
