Welcome back Proxy413!
Well.. since I started when you guys already left, I don't know if 'back' is considered correct, but I'm glad you're on the team again!
And thank you for the idea of the summary, that would be an amazing help, I'm sure!!

And I think I messaged most people on the forum or any other way I could find. Not all of them have responded or called in, but Amandel will be back too soon!

So Hi & THX Spikey Cool... Simon's reply to me may be cloudy unless I show what I wrote:
Having just watched Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence again I'm somewhat open to a skewed-cultural-collision along the virtual highway. How may I assist you? Personally, I've little interest in ever seeing Zach, Aimee or Abigail unless you're planning a seance, in which case reserve a chair for me. Please!

Merry Christmas Mr. Orchard

I need to get away. In this time, or yours.

They're going to take me. I don't know when but it's coming. I know too much about the old ways, and with their new plan for power, I'm nothing but a hindrance with that knowledge. An exploitable cog in a very well oiled machine.

I don't intend to end my days on their terms, working for them. I don't want to end up like those we took down together (Zach, Chloe, Aimee, Abigail...) They're not dead, they've simply been put to good use.

I don't even know what's happening in your time now. Everything's a well guarded secret. All I know is where they're keeping them. I'm afraid that's all I can offer you in exchange for your help. If you truly don't wish to see them again, then I'm sorry I tried to bargain their freedom with you. If there was anything else I could do I would.

I don't want to go the same way as everybody else... I thought I was important to them. But I guess I was wrong. About everything.

Merry Christmas to you too


Somewhat b/c I'm never too motivated by email-fueled ARGS & also b/c I'm unsure of how to tweek cagey Simon am planning to remain silent atm. Happy Holidays All!

Been talking to Julie, I have told her about the email some of us got from Simon.
I also told her I don't trust him one bit, but we're are working a few things.

This is what she asked:

Quote:

Are you telling me there's a chance she isn't dead?!

I don't know how to take that. With what I know of this new world, I daren't hope...

Do you believe him?


Any thoughts on the email??

Julie and I developed a close relationship during the first portion of the game, I find it strange that she hasn't contacted me yet... I would be wary, as several of the people contacting through email turned out to be red herrings or tesseract.

I'm going to email her and see what kind of response I get. I'm also going to respond to Simon and pump him for information.

I'm in the channel on IRC, will be for quite some time, so.

I'll report back.

Hi Faithless, I see your point, hence my previous few paranoia posts Wink
Though it costed me quite a bit to get through to her. It took a while for her to respond and she made it clear she had to through her emails as she been out of action for a while.
It became quiet from both ends. Game and players.
Until John started posting on the blog again. I think PM was trying to put the game back in play.

It's good to see you guys coming back, though.

But let our (yes, I call it 'our') past in this game be a lesson, we gave away too much info and could have killed it off too soon. Let's be more careful from now on! Smile

EDIT: Hello All. There's some identity info on the Penzu picture: "MPS PRISONER 58879 WHITTAKER ABIGAIL". What a dilemma we've got...Jeepers.

I've been in contact with Julie.

I asked her if she even wanted us to try, considering Aimee and Zack might not be the same people after time with the Tesseract.

There was other non-relevant communication in the email, which is why I am not posting them.

I'll update when she responds.

Hi All & more Season's Greetings! So for clarity here are the contents of an email I wrote:
Hello again John,

I haven't heard from Julie although she may be in contact with others. Color me careful as it's odd that she hasn't updated her VOGB blog or contacted you directly. Remain cautious, please.

Recently Simon Orchard has been in touch offering "proof" that Abigail, Aimee, Zach and his wife Chloe are all still alive and are MPS prisoners. He claims to be now himself a target for "disposal" by the Tesseract and he "won't save them, unless you save me (Simon)". If that bloke doesn't make ones skin crawl then it's just on too tight.

Stay well and your thoughts on this matter would be super appreciated.


And b/c it's customary here at uF to post the replies from the IGs this is what jmauriceatkinsonSPLATgmail.com just wrote:

You're right to be cautious. I have heard from Julie however, and I understand she has some big news that she's planning to share with you all soon. I was concerned for a while, but I'm confident that she hasn't been compromised.

As for Simon Orchard... I think that one's a judgement call on your part. If Abigail and the others really are alive then I would advise you to do anything you can to save them. But Simon is one to watch, and one that we know is capable of anything. I'll see if I can find anything out about him myself. Anything that might help.

I hope you're keeping well. I'll keep you posted.

Julie posted on VOGB

Hey guys, Julie has left us an update.

There's a secret message in her post:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I have compromised David Jessop.
his conversations will be ours to hear
poetry will be our way

New message from Simon on Penzu:

What is it you want from us, Simon?

I want a way out of this. Cleanly. You must know something. Do you know where the ark is? Getting there would save me, I know it would. But we can't break Abigail. She's the only one who knows and yet she seems to pass every truth session she has. We know she knows, but her brain shows no sign of it; no trace of deception. She must have given some of you a clue, you were working with her after all.


Interesting.

Jessop.

Think all the way back to the beginning, we didn't know what/who that was.

I'll message Julie again.


@suncrusher

He sounds way desperate, huh?


Now then, my posting.

I got some twitter messages.

One is some text and an image:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
chAnge is happEning. riotS are brEaking ouT In the stReets. tesseract will be your Conqueror Not your Saviour

With an image that says: "YouR LeAdeR hAs fALLeN briTAiN who wilL yOu FoLLow"


source: https://twitter.com/tesseract_uk/status/551154064063750144/photo/1)

the second one mentions all of us that follow tesseract on twitter and says "take note".

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
the only real anagram I found in the twitter message was "Secret San" but there were other possible words found.

I tried decoding the letters in the image, but it's done Newspaper cut-out style, and hard to figure out which are supposed to be capital and which ones just are, like w's.


the photo's locally hosted on twitter, so there's no source info I could find.

Yup...interesting, cryptic & quite Cool . That's Julie's Wordpress flyer which has been reposted on twitter along with this tweet:

The capital letters anagram into: RESISTANCE


Just for clarity here's the old DNTTT page: http://donottrustthetesseract.co.uk/resistance/ 'tho imo this is more likely to be a new movement. Cyas...

I thought we determined Jessop to be a/the lead on Telek at FEA? I also thought he has some connection to the...copy(clone?), I guess, from the very beginning of the game?
