If he's going to summon HABIT, he'd best do it through a phone call or some way that puts a good distance between the two. Heh, imagine a Skype call with HABIT.

I thought it over and I'm on board with the Widow Corenthal plan. Dixie_Wolf and I were discussing it last night, and it sort of feels like Vince saying they are lost and asking what we think because this is the chance to say "don't go towards him, go towards us." Because we do have SOME information- at least enough to point them in the right direction. If they want info, I'd much sooner have them seek out Maryann. Only in worst case scenario would this be a good idea- they have other avenues to explore first.
I have given up email duties long ago, so can someone whip something up for this? Since we all seem to be in agreement. <3 I'd say the main points are 1. stay away from HABs, 2. find Maryann instead 3. when help is needed, ask us, and 4. maybe we should point out that since we don't know where HABs is, they should keep an eye out on themselves- it would be all too easy for him to hide in plain sight.


I, erm. Already sent one along last night. Embarassed

Still, I honestly believe that the more emails along these lines in this case, the better. One email from "some guy named Michael" isn't going to change his mind, but a lot of them might.

The question is, which theories are we treating as factual enough to send to them?

If MaryAnn can help, let's go. She's super old though, if she knows stuff about HABIT that we don't, let's go for it.
What if HABIT pops out in the presence of her? That's the only thing I'm scared of.

The whole reason I went ahead & sent an E-mail is because people aren't going to wait for some relatively small forum to make up their minds. I guarantee they were already swamped with E-mails before mine.

The downside is, that also means there's a very good chance that they'll never even see mine, even if they are actively reading these E-mails to incorporate their suggestions somehow into the next installment.

Point is, don't worry about waiting for some kind of consensus. If there's a route you'd like to see them take, go for it.

But they still don't know where Maryann is, do they? Vin has already been to the property where they thought she was before... I wonder if they have any other leads.

Let's hope that if Vin does go visit her she won't have a heart attack upon seeing what appears to the be ghosts of her dead adopted sons. God knows she seemed pretty terrified of Jeff when he visited.

Three years kind of needs the song.
One the guys favorite band Weezer In the Garage.

In The Candleverse

I got fourth edition Dungeon Master's guide
I got Twenty-sided die
I got Venom
Carnage, too
Waiting there for me
Yes I do, I do

I got my games on the wall
My favorite game like Bioshock group
I got Vita Chambers
I got the Big Daddy
Waiting there for me
Yes I do, I do

In the Candleverse, I feel safe
No one cares about my ways
In the Candleverse, where I belong
No one hears me sing this song
In the Candleverse

I got an electric guitar
I do my Sinatra great song
I write these stupid words
I love every one
Waiting there for me
Yes I do, I do

In the Candleverse, I feel safe
No one cares about my ways
In the Candleverse where I belong
No one hears me sing this song
In the Candleverse, in the Candleverse

In the Candleverse, I feel safe
No one cares about my ways
In the Candleverse where I belong
No one hears me sing this song

In the Candleverse, I feel safe
No one laughs about my ways
In the Candleverse where I belong
No one hears me, no one hears me
No one hears me, no one hears me
No one hears me sing this song

Well, that is true, but they have a couple of options. They could try going back to the property. Or googlestalking her.

Actually, they might be trying to ask HABIT where she is.

Exactly. If Vinnie can't tell us HOW he is going to summon and contain HABIT (I assume he wants to keep some element of surprise) then he can at least tell us WHERE he is getting his information. If his source is Corenthal, this might not be that bad of an idea. But on the other hand, if he is just going to try and wing it, well that is really ill-advised.

Also, I'm worried that Vinnie has yet to get Evan's consent to this plan, and might even try to go ahead without it. Why else would he be so worried about Evan coming down the stairs? And this is assuming that Evan is even in the right state of mind to make that kind of decision.

Honestly, I think what we really need is another Ustream Q&A session. I know that this isn't likely to happen, but it should. There are things that the boys know that we don't, and they might not know some of what we do. Both parties are in the dark, and that isn't good for anybody but the bad guys.

If Evan is being Evan, then I really don't think he is going to be ok with Vinnie's plan. In L'esprit de l'escalier Evan is angry and confused, if he is really not inHabited, then he is in no way in the right state of mind to do something like summon Habit.

Yes, Vinny, you are nuts. Then again, there's no other way for the plot to progress.

Wondering if the reason that Vinny knows that he can summon HABIT and not be killed is because of what Alex told him in Consensus, the stuff that made him turn the camera off.
Heck it may be the reason HABIT never came after Vinny.

Unless HABIT omitted it, Vince wasn't told anything. Right after he turns the camera off, a secret camera in the car pops on.

I have a suspicion that Vince is afraid that if Evan knows about the plan, HABIT will know, & that will ruin everything. I see the sentiment, but it's not good to rock the bridge between him & Evan right now.

If we want to cut through the mass of emails that they are getting, how about someone makes a video response on behalf of the forum, summarizing our thoughts, suggestions, support, and advice for what to do and how to do it.

I think that would be really awesome if this forum and the remaining Rabbits came together and decided on what should be on the video, and possibly find one of our Rabbits who would be willing to spokesperson it and do the audio (which would be fine if it were just audio, or even put out in text with no voice acting to it at all).

I just feel like the surviving Rabbits are the closest thing to in-game characters we have direct control of and maybe publicizing input from them would get a better response, and as I said before, making a youtube video response to the March 21st video would make communicating alot easier for us and bypass the thousands of emails they are no doubt recieving right now.

EDIT:
also, if someone with the technical know how could look through that initial sped up montage of EMH footage and slow down/analyze it, I would really appreciate it. Pausing the video at certain points, I cant seem to recognize some of the shots and almost feel like there might be references to things we havent seen before if we can pick it apart.

There's just one thing I want to say about this. Obviously we as an audience have some control in the plot currently, and I know everyone wants the plot to continue. But there's one more thing to consider: if we make the wrong decision, we might never get the answers, just because, well, everyone's dead before we can get the answers, and we lose the game. Game Over.
