So two references to existentialism (Kierkegaard and en soi/pour soi). French existentialists include Sartre and Camus. Also the sentence, "Is she something?"
Sounds like someone's applying the "I think, therefore I am" argument to this.

Yeah, the john that's in the IM is the johndoe777555 on the website.
Shadow_Ill, your screen name is killing me. Seriously, I am in imminent death due to it. "I am in a world I do not know." I hate that, because it confused me up until about two minutes ago; i thought the screen name was 'x' and you kept typing "I am in a world I do not know."
Anyway, I like the spec that Pers is Perseus. That would make sense when taken in the context of Eris.
Hmm, context of Eris. Good song title.
New stuff on the site.

In case you haven't already found it: this is my favorite binary translator. Also translates Hex and Octal http://nickciske.com/tools/binary.php
Note: this site is out-of-game, just a helpful tool to translate all this.
Edit: The Binary translates to 'whenevericaniwillbeincontact.'

Wild Spec: This is Roddington (from AWARE) who "died" saving Melony - his consciousness found an access into the internet / computer world and he really is an "AI" and is "AWARE"?????

I do not concur. We have very little information concerning this, and it's far too early to go speculating about what any of this really is. I mean, we don't know if this is even an ARG yet. So, hold off on your "Single-Player Release Demo"-level speculations for the moment until we get some actual relevant information.

So what we've determined is that this is AWARE related??
or do we need more info?

I don't think speculation (particularly wild speculation) should be hindered by how 'early' this kind of info is being distributed. The fact that little or no fact ties these events to any particular known game is suitable grounds for any type of speculation, imho. Being critical of others because they dare to jump to conclusions seems like bad mojo.

This is a point that I disagree with you on, and in the interests of civil discourse, I feel it should be discussed. However, I don't think it would be wise to do that in this thread. Perhaps, it would be wiser to begin another thread on this topic?

There's a Meta Forum which is perfect for the discussion.

Kirkegård means Church Yard
Kirkegaard is old danish for Kirkegård.
Kierkegaard and Kirkegaard is both last names too, and quite right, there is a Danish author by that name [Søren Kierkegaard]. Actually he's a philosopher..
Found a wiki here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%F8ren_Kierkegaard
But... Since it says "kirkegaard", I think the meaning is Church Yard, and not the philosopher. And the old-style double-a is because they take the american players' inability to write that letter into consideration.
