seraphina_brennan: Sir, this may seem odd, but a friend of mine pointed me to your blog. We have but a question, what is Project Emotion and how can it make the world a better place?
davetolomy2000: Are you interested in assisting me?
seraphina_brennan: Possibly, maybe. Depends.
seraphina_brennan: Depends on what we're talking about when we use the word "assist"
davetolomy2000: I need help in numerous tasks.
davetolomy2000: project emotion has been going for a while but offers to help have been slim
davetolomy2000: I have made small advertisements around the internet but only ten people have replied since.
seraphina_brennan: I see.
davetolomy2000: A lot of work has to be done. I need assistance.
davetolomy2000: Project Emotion has been a long term plan of mine. I starting planning it a year ago.
davetolomy2000: It was only a month ago I decided to put it into action.
seraphina_brennan: What does it, or should it, do?
davetolomy2000: When a senator, or a pm wnats to make a decision it takes months. There was complaints about fox hunting for years but look how long it took to get banned. Battery farm chickens won't be banned till another few years yet. Project Emotion does not take years. It makes fast decisions. Project Emotion is a form of government created be the public.
seraphina_brennan: Hmmm... interesting.
davetolomy2000: Will you help me?
seraphina_brennan: What would you require of me?
davetolomy2000: I need people emailed, I need knowledge of certain places, I need political views. I also need more volunteers aswell.
davetolomy2000: Project emotion needs to grow
seraphina_brennan: I'm not sure how comfortable I feel with this.
davetolomy2000: not many people are.
seraphina_brennan: I would truly need to trust in your project in order to perform that which you ask of me.
davetolomy2000: I am often turned away by people. My views are discriminated against and claimed outrageous.
davetolomy2000: I need people who agree with me.
davetolomy2000: consider it.
seraphina_brennan: I will.
seraphina_brennan: If I come to a decision, I will notifiy you immediately.
seraphina_brennan: Good day.
davetolomy2000: goodbye

Dave Tolomy = Blue


I'm not so sure that I trust a man who wants to start a new government by making a blog and an IM address....

 		His blog has just updated. The trailhead makes it seem ARGish, but I don't know...

If it is an ARG, then it will be a freeform one. David's latest entry seems to react to the latest interest we have shown him.

 		I E-mailed him about 15 minutes ago and I have a reply.

Dear Crowfoot,
I am amazed really. Not only have three people contacted me this evening regarding my project but maybe the word is spreading. People everywhere are annoed by the slowness of new laws being enforced. Of course some people disagree with me but thats life. Reading your email gave me several questions. This community you speak of, what is its. Several other people have emailed but I have had no serious offers. May I ask if you want to help. Or maybe you are a government agent thinking I'm a terrorist threat. Under the circumstances, inwhich three people emailing me in the same night, I have every right to be suspicious. Thanks for emailing me and glad to know your interested.
Hope to hear from you soon
Contact me by phone for more info
David

 		Hello All.
Really new to all this, but thought this one sounded interesting enough to warrant my first post. A bit of googling reveals that Portsmouth appears to be the only university currently involved in a study of emotion.
Probably nothing.

 		Blog has updated. He wants some of us to be spies? This is pretty good because although I'm pretty sure it's a ARG there's something in the back of my head asking 'what if it isn't?'. See what you guys can make of it.

EDIT: Also, after asking Dave what he meant by the coded message, he replied:

 		yeha.. i had a look at that site too. but im not jumping the gun on anything. theres a hair-fine line between a good immersive beginning, and a quack with a blog. ill wait until we know for sure he isnt craaa-i-zee.

scientest

to make the world a better place

year of the dragon: 1976 (hes 29.. least thats legit)

looking into it more now.

EDIT: SENT 2 EMAILS
me testing the waters. this email will settle wether hes a nutcase, or an ig nutcase.

Hello Mr. Tolomy,

Having just discovered your site (blog) i must say i am more than a
little bem/conf-used. You want to start a new world government, for
the people, by the people.

Isn't that a naive form of communism? I dunno about you, but Mother
Russia wasn't the friendiest of matriarchs.

Would love to hear more about your Grand Plan tho.

cheers,

ffx


and he replied with:

Dave Tolomy wrote:


I don't appreciate your insults or your sarcasm.
Project Emotion needs support, not criticism...
I got enough of that from keith rogers.

Thank you for emailing me. However, creating a new government isn;t project emotions only plans.


interesting, keith rogers eh (see bottom)


firefox wrote:


But criticism is all you will get, unless you clearly state out your
plans. You expect people to contact you and be positive on the
internet... just like that, out of the kindness of their hearts?

If I came across as insulting then I apologise, it was not my
intention to attack you or your idea. I was merely suggesting that
perhaps your idea sounds naive.

I was under the impression that: 'Project Emotion is a form of
government created be the public.'

no? ok, again I apologise for assuming, and thus making an ass out of
you and me(ing). If it is, then you will need a lot of funding to get
it off the ground.

If it is more than that, I suspect we will wait and see what you post.
Unless you have a mission statement prepared already.

again, didnt mean to go keith rogers on ya,

-ffx

finally: OMG ITS A GAME THIS CLINCHES IT Rolling Eyes
Dave Tolomy wrote:

I cannot disclose all my plans at present. I am being monitered.


Keith Rogers: also into Biotech.. hmm

which leads me to suspect two things. Either it is an arg, and its very immersive. Or this guy is for real, and the only game he is playing with us will be with our dismembered bodies.

 		I got sent this after filling out his 'application form'

Quote:

Well first of all i need some people to email keith rogers. He once worked for me then was frustated because i stopped letting him help me. In response he started up this blog:
http://stopprojectemotion.blogspot.com .
I need some one to pretend to be helping him bring me down. I need to know what his plans atre


We need to figure out what to send this keith guy.

 		I just recieved two E-mails:

Quote:
Crowfoot,
I have my brother helping me in project emotion. I did have someone helping me with an in depth part of project emotion (keith rogers) but he turned against me. He now knows too much and is trying to stop me. So two main people are heading this project, and hopefully people will assist us. Where abouts do you live? If you live near the discussed place it would be easier to discuss. Contact me by phone for more information. If my phone directs you to voicemail then you'll have to text me. Keith locked my phone on this mode...

Keith rogers is lying. He has started a blog against me and this is just because of a small incident two months ago.

I think he implied he wanted to meet me in person, but I'm too far from Portsmouth. I can't text him either because my phone is broken, so I might leave him a voice mail message.

We're just talking in #metaunlimited right now, because one of us needs to be a spy. I'm going to follow up this E-mail and ask about the 'incident'.

 		Email from me to Keith:

Quote:

Keith, I am inclined to agree with you on this 'Project Emotion'. The
posts he made in his blog sound like that of a madman, and that's even
before he has said anything about what the 'Project' is! How is Dave
planning on taking over the world, and how can we stop him? You said
you worked with him on Project Emotion, what is it, and why is it so
dangerous?

Here to stop the madness,

Tom.


Will post the reply.
