I have to wonder why the author didn't make a DeadJournal instead.

[LAUGHS!]

Maybe he's more into irony than bad puns? [meta] Or if this is an ARG, the PM/s probably figured more players would be on LJ. I know I had my LJ listed on my unforums account for a little while, although I took it down before this journal was created... [/meta]

Looks like there's another post. If this is an ARG I don't see where or how it'd work, but I wonder if he'd mind another person friending HIM out of the blue. It looks like he's inviting an audience anyway.

Also note that "Dark Dream" and "You would not wake up" are from the Beast/AI ARG and are quoted on his info page, and he mentions the ocean in this new post.

Maybe just a fan having some fun?

I wouldn't think being friended is a problem, since he apparently friended his current set all at random. (Unless any of the other usernames are secretly BigNameARGers, or something.)

He did just mention "dropping memories in unprotected files and directories" (paraphrased), which could be the start of something... Or it could just be a fan having some fun. Or something. [snickers] [shrugs]

DeepSleeper's posted another two times since I found him. This post in particular looks like it's either a puzzle or just story-fodder. Anyone have any ideas?

Well, most of his research has to do with the mind, and then there's the baby names thing. Maybe he's trying to find an explanation to why he can't remember anything? Maybe the baby names are there to spur a Memory? I really don't know, I'm just rambling thoughts.

The baby names thing was my suggestion - DS said in his original post that he didn't remember his name, and since I tend to hit those sites a lot (for naming RPG characters and things), I thought of 'em. [grins] Although the mind thing is interesting...

What's interesting to me is that he says that those sites are on his "To Do" list, ye since he has them he must have already researched them.

Also, why would he be studying more than one idea at a time? Plus he sorted it into before and after lunch.. Why would you do this? It doesn't make sense to me.

It sort of makes sense to me - if he's just "skimming" right now for sites he needs to pay more attention to later? Since he's supposedly both dead and in the Internet, he may be able to absorb information at a unique rate.

And presumably, all those sites should be connected somehow. Or at least, all of them except the baby names site, because we know why he included that.

Just read his last message and noticed something in the "quotes to ponder" section.

There's a new post on deepsleeper's LiveJournal page, dated Friday, June 6, 1986.

For those of you interested:
