309 forwards to the AMNA-D radio station. It is documented in the spreadsheet linked a few posts up.

I am been listening to the admin interviews trying to find any information that might lead us somewhere. It seems like he is talking a Discord server. In the Post Tank interview, someone from Australia whos mother maiden name is Davis (Abbey Davis?) is talking to him. They ask for a way to get in contact and the audio gets kinda of laggy and he says something about Brazil.


I was also just watching the twitter and a tweet was posted then deleted, it only said "artist jee young"

Is the "he" in the interviews MarCar? It sounds like he is talking to someone he calls Natasha. He doesn't really seem to know much about whatever is going on. I'm assuming he is the admin, as implied by the text titles, which was supposed to change into a rotating position (although whatever privileges admin has are either unknown or nonexistent).

At first I assumed he was talking to Nick Lyons, the presumed puppetmaster who lives in Australia. At times, it seems like he might be talking to more than one person, possibly reading from a text chat.

One of the recruiting kits was sent to Brazil. Perhaps that is how he got involved since nobody on this forum seems to have interacted with him yet.

If I remember correctly the proposal for the rotating of the admin position did not pass. Although the website does say that A55-ILGG was the person who got the package in Brazil.

You're right. Looks like it didn't pass. I think I'm confused by the fact that whoever seems to be in the "lead" becomes supervisor. And although I guess I assumed that supervisor is synonymous with administrator, that might not be the case at all. Earlier in the game, the admin claimed his agent code to be A1QPLR. I would assume that role was played by Nick Lyons initially, but I'm not sure if that still holds true.

This seems to have some sort of metaphysical system we are supposed to figure out. For example, it seems like your character is SUPPOSED to die in order to ascend as a new character (hence Absurdus died and Disciple was born). My guess is then John Titor died in order to become MarCar. The only other character currently in the hierarchy is Tenebra (minus one on the totem pole though).

My guess is that VioletSage is Tenebra, just because it seems like once you pass a certain point, you might be required to put the ascensionism logo in your profile here (unless you guys are just huge fans lol).

I could be all wrong though... SilentKyle, it looks like your character is dead. Are you allowed to put forth proposals even though your character has died? Or is the assumption that you have to make a new one in order to continue?

EDIT: So, I was browsing through the forum, and I put some pieces together. The admin is the character "ABBEY DAVIES." And therefore A1-QPLR is also Abbey Davies. And therefore, assuming the role of admin hasn't changed since mid February when this info was admitted, we can assume that the admin who is supposedly interviewing the male in the recordings is Abbey Davies, although the "Natasha" thing is throwing me off a bit...

A1-QPLR asked, "Who did this?" He looked at the rest of the quartet.

A1-QPLR is male unless something else is going on.

Due to interference of multiple people playing 'voice' for admin, it is rather muddy regarding who or what admin is definitively.

MarCar is a player, not a character. John Titor was a poster on the Facebook page, but it doesn't seem that comment posters on Facebook are characters so far.

I'm not aware of any requirement to do anything specific on this site or any other to participate in the game. Some people have made the ascensionism icon their profile picture here just because they wanted to. There are small groups of people poking at all of this on multiple sites, so unless the Admin denotes a specific site for everyone to rally on, that is really difficult to monitor. Does Admin likely check this topic and other sources of discussion about this ARG? Probably, but that doesn't mean this topic itself is part of the game cannon unless stated otherwise.

Nothing so far has directly mentioned Nick Lyons as a story or player character. Nick Lyons is 99% likely the one who has been masterminding all of this game, but it is probably best to separate his name from the game narrative unless it directly comes up.

My basis for thinking that A1QPLR was Abbey Davies stems from troubledboy's email conversation:

" Admin: I have a message from the admin.
She won't tell you this evening.
But she'll tell you tomorrow.
Without fail.
Jan 29

Me: I am looking forward to hearing from her. It's Abbey Davis, right? I just don't want to be disrespectful, I know she kept her maiden name. The word I received was Brummell."

This would also explain why the mother's maiden name given in the recording is Davies.

MarCar seems to be the character of Mark Carter. My guess is that John Titor was an old character who either died or "ascended" in some other way. One way to ascend is "digitalis", and this would help explain the "John Jewelled" tweet from months ago.

EDIT:
But yeah, the "he" pronoun makes A1QPLR seem male. Now I'm thinking the admin concept is definitely being used very loosely and might be used for several people.

Also RedAdmiral said this around the middle of last year:

"I asked the admin what their soul ID was and they told me A1-QPLR."

I feel like we are getting closer to the bottom of it, but the inconsistences make me more uncertain than I thought I was. It's hard not to take "Davies" from the recording as a direct clue. It could have been easily edited out if it wasn't meant to be.

There is similarity in name, but there is no direct linking of the player username MarCar to the Facebook account Mark Carter. John Titor is another Facebook account and nothing has clearly linked them as a game character. No accounts have really posted to the Facebook page in months. One would think if they were character accounts, there would be more activity from them.

At this point I have a hard time accepting most email conversations with admin as hard canon. Many statements conflict or have no relation to the narrative as presented so far. Also these emails, unless shared, are private conversations and if they held meaningful content, we may never learn of it, making it a poor means for content delivery to further the story unless in the form of mass email. The admin has addressed this before directly. If there is emailed information that players need to know about, it is made public somewhere, such as the logs from Sid.

Well, I messaged Mark Carter on Facebook, and he confirmed that he IS MarCar. But he said that it's not his voice on the interview recordings.

At least that helps a bit!

Well he's a liar.

My friend Martha has been making all the [MarCar] posts on the polls. I've been at her place a few times while they were typed up and posted. Needless to say, she wasn't recorded for anything as there is no way to tie a username given on the surveys to any form of contact.

Lol. Well, whatever his role, he has definitely been monitoring this forum, as he was able to discern my origin.

Sorry to have been a "red harring" but yea I am just a fan. This is my first arg and I found it almost a year ago. I made an account just for this arg actualy and I became a fan. I chose my name randomly also (color + color).

I'm actually not participating in the actual game so I don't have a callsign assigned.

Thanks for clearing that up, VioletSage. Since the players have such active roles in the evolution in the game (through recordings etc.), and the game seems to blur the distinctions between players and characters at times, it is helpful to know who is directly participating. Smile

ascensionismrecords.com/vote forwards to a new voting link now. New poll requires some form of sign in, most likely due to the recent discussions here.
