i was very much asleep when suddely Sam decided to AIM me - problem being, that *I* am not following the path that you all are supposed to be, so maybe this makes more sense to you:

I really think he messaged me because no one else seems to be working on it at the moment {not saying no one IS, just saying it SEEMS like they are being ignored. Last time I spoke to anyone, I was told they felt neglected so....}

I dunno. I'm going to work on it for a while tonight. I can't do it right now becuase of this prison camp that they call a high school.

edit: I'm home, but I still can't make heads or tails of this crap. It's all almost too vague for me. Dunce

I felt sorry for this game, so.....
Pixie... what the heck happened? I think you might have overstepped your "playing along" thing. Plus, what do we do when everything we do to help them goes straight to Sam.
I cannot believe they are in the real world. Trapped in a building by a boulder? That no one else notices?
I just can't suspend my immagination, try as hard as I do. I had to stop myself from asking what University and just say I'm sending the police to whatever building you're in... But enough for tonight, I suppose.

Quote:
RascalRwr716: hello
Auto response from Albrecht Wasser: I'm away right now.

RascalRwr716: I'm sorry I've been gone so long
Albrecht Wasser: We have not seen you for some time.
Albrecht Wasser: Indeed. Much has changed since last we spoke.
RascalRwr716: I've heard some things. I'm so sorry I couldn't be there to help you
RascalRwr716: who am I speaking to?
Albrecht Wasser: This is Tom. Sam is allowing me to speak for him and others.
RascalRwr716: have you been able to get in contact lately with others of us?
Albrecht Wasser: We have had delightful conversations with Pixie. While she is excellent at helping Sam understand his new godhood, she is not the cryptographer we need to find out what we need to know from Tannis' files.
Albrecht Wasser: I understand more gods are aborning? Sam believes this to be so.
RascalRwr716: I don't know what aborning is. I haven't had time to look at the Tannis files. But I will
Albrecht Wasser: Of course. We understand that with the changes coming, our little rock and peephole problem is likely a small issue.
RascalRwr716: I don't understand what you just said. What changes are coming tom?
Albrecht Wasser: Sam tells me that he is not the first new god to be birthed in this time.
Albrecht Wasser: And that you all, the outsiders, are dealing with several at once.
RascalRwr716: Oh! Yes, I suppose that is true. We've been talking to a little girl named Synagoga
RascalRwr716: which sounds stupid when I think about it
RascalRwr716: Tom, I'm so sorry
Albrecht Wasser: What are you sorry about? I have been finding new purpose in our trial here.
RascalRwr716: really?
Albrecht Wasser: Yes. With Sam's new and burgeoning godhood, I have discovered a new way of looking at the world.
Albrecht Wasser: He calls me his high priest, a flattering supposition.
RascalRwr716: How did you earn that title?
RascalRwr716: and tom, please keep your head up
RascalRwr716: I don't know you personally. but don't give up hope
Albrecht Wasser: Well, wait, is your name Sarah? It will make the conversation more personal. Forgive me for forgetting, but this has been a long week.
RascalRwr716: I'm Sarah. Sarah Kiddo
Albrecht Wasser: Yes, Sarah Kiddo. A good name.
RascalRwr716: thanks, Tom.
Albrecht Wasser: When Sam developed his godhood, he created something that was a little too large to handle. The trial of escape is our proof of service to Sam and Sam's proof of power to us.
RascalRwr716: so he would respect you if you escape him? Thats sick
Albrecht Wasser: No, Sarah, all of us want out of here.
Albrecht Wasser: Very badly.
Albrecht Wasser: The only way forward, is together.
RascalRwr716: I would imagine, Tom.
RascalRwr716: Tannis was an intellectual. A professor. I'm only 17. I'm doing my best to find out what you need to know. I really want to help
Albrecht Wasser: Of course. Sam is young himself, and Tannis was a Ph.D. at 19...so you should have no fear that youth is a hinderance.
RascalRwr716: True enough, Tom.
RascalRwr716: I wish there was something I could do for you Tom, some other way of providing help
Albrecht Wasser: Now, I understand if you have not found Tannis' first stop on his expedition, but perhaps you can put some thought to the physical reality of escape.
Albrecht Wasser: Brainstorm with us, and help us see if there are any exits we have not considered.
RascalRwr716: you wouldn't happen to have a map?
Albrecht Wasser: No, but that is an excellent idea, Jm may be able to manipulate a pencil to create a map.
RascalRwr716: But sure. You have, of course, tried doors and windows.
RascalRwr716: Tell him to mark ventilation, if managable.
Albrecht Wasser: Doors and windows, to be sure, ventilation (to small)...
Albrecht Wasser: Ah, we think alike.
RascalRwr716: I'm thinking of something I read in a book
RascalRwr716: Sometimes there is a crawlspace where cables come in from a wall. Computer cables
Albrecht Wasser: Please, go ahead.
Albrecht Wasser: I will inform Sam at once.
RascalRwr716: what?
RascalRwr716: are you sure?
Albrecht Wasser: Sam has ways of checking these things that I cannot fathom.
Albrecht Wasser: Part of the mystery of his godhood, I suppose.
RascalRwr716: Tom, did Sam lock you in there? Or did something else trap all of you
RascalRwr716: you might want to escape without him
Albrecht Wasser: I think my place is with Sam. Jim, Sam, and I will get out of this, especially with all of your help.
RascalRwr716: What about Campus police, or anyone who might notice that
RascalRwr716: what?
RascalRwr716: sam hurt you
RascalRwr716: part of the building is mysteriously closed off
Albrecht Wasser: As long as your friend Pixie continues to watch Annie for us, we can be sure to watch for her efforts to sabotage us.
RascalRwr716: who trapped you here?
Albrecht Wasser: Well, Sam did, of course, but that was only because he was testing his powers.
RascalRwr716: How did he do it. And by the way "you shall not put the lord your god to the test"
RascalRwr716: why would he test himself?
Albrecht Wasser: He did not at first believe his new powers and...let me consult him so I can explain fully.
RascalRwr716: why?
RascalRwr716: Tom, honsetly, what is the point?
RascalRwr716: WAKE UP
Albrecht Wasser: Sam tells me that with his new powers, he needed security to find Dr. Tannis' resting place, so he sealed off the building. Unfortunately, he underestimated his power and created a "boulder" that blocked us all inside.
RascalRwr716: and no one on campus noticed the boulder?
Albrecht Wasser: I think when Sam comes out into the world, like the proverbial chrysalis, the world will embrace him and the others.
Albrecht Wasser: I cannot explain why no one seems interested in our building. For all we know, we could be on every news channel, but judging from everyone's reactions, I find this doubtful.
RascalRwr716: Tom. Have you seen Sam do anything with Godly power?
RascalRwr716: did you see him make the boulder
Albrecht Wasser: The windows and doors do not work. He sacrificed Jim and then had incredible strength. He has shown other signs that are not easily explainable.
RascalRwr716: Listen, Tom, I'm sorry, I need to go. It is late where I am.
Albrecht Wasser: Of course. Rest well.
RascalRwr716: you too, Tom.........


OK, is there ANYONE even vaguely human left to talk to?

He didn't mention Annie at all...perhaps she is the one we need to talk to.

FIRST off, how dare you.

I doubt anyone wants you to feel sorry for the game, I for one like that it's a small game. More chances to experiment within the genre. If the PM's were really upset by the turn out, I'm sure they would find a way to communicate it. As it is, the chars simply want those of us who already know what's going on to participate more. However they do understand life comes first.

As for me over stepping Evil or Very Mad I'm trying something new, yes, a new angle on how to interact with characters. I can clue people in on that AFTER the game, but I've talked to a few people {including vpisteve} about my method at the moment, exactly what I am doing, and so far everyone I have talked to thinks it's a great idea how I'm playing this. For the record - there are very few "rules" about ARGing, as it is a new genre. I do not HAVE to tell everyone when I get contacted by someone, i do not HAVE to post the information I get, but since it really seems to cause problems - no, i'm not playing the same game as you, I'm not conversing about things i learn here, and i continue to tell "sam" and "tom" that i am not "working with" anyone {this could be why they have said I'm not to be the go between for solving this stuff!}... I'm not doing the puzzles, i'm not playing along the way you all are. I'm testing the PMs, and testing my limits. As with ANY game, the PMs do not have to take into consideration my words and actions in their PMing of this game. what i say or do does not need to have any influence, nor does it mean it can't. I'm sorry if anyone here disagrees now, or later, with the words and actions i have IN GAME! With that said, this forum is OUT OF GAME, posting things i learn here would negate a promise i made. I promised "Sam" i would not betray him. I am a LARPer by nature, and i like "staying in character" while in game. The difference between ARGing and LARPing is that with ARGing, information you learn out of game {such as a forum that is OOG} can be used In-Game. IF I post information here, and you or someone else uses it against Sam In-Game, it's more than obvious it was my betrayal.

Any information i get pertaining to things YOU as a collective group trying to solve some txt files & puzzle i HAVE posted, and will CONTINUE to post, because {like it or not} even Sam wants those things solved. {and no, most of the time, I am not discussing this stuff because, as i've explained, i'm experimenting with the PM's, mostly, and the main thing is i'm having fun}

Come on, it's a game for pete's sake. In as non-sarcastic as I can maintain at the moment, do you really think AI's call payphones on a daily basis trying to send messages to starships in the future? The purpose of "Alternate Reality Gaming" is that it's an "alternate" reality...
If you don't want to play along, don't - but don't come in here and in the same breath make it sound like it's poorly written & admit that your imagination is what is at fault. This is a small game, and I for one am enjoying it. If you DO want to play along, Here's a recap for you, but play nice.

Now, Game sumary: Someone got AIMed by Dr Wasser because his screen name was close to his son Sam's. Dr Wasser left to go to mexico to discover a couple things. Main reason? Dr. Tannis died alledgedly in an accident. "Alledgedly?" you say - yes. There is reason to believe Tannis not only didn't die in that accident, but that he was possibly murdered FAR from that place. Sam discovers an ancient stone Wasser brought back him was broken, and after going into a drunken rage, finally kills one of Wasser's students, nicknamed Kid Jim, after Kid Jim finally admits to breaking it. Upon killing Kid Jim, Sam discovers he has powers. Same, and three of Wasser's other students are trapped inside this building, POSSIBLY on a different plane of exsistance, Sam is the only person that has mentioned an actual bolder, and I am not sure he's said this to anyone but me, but even he thinks it might be metaphoric. None of them can open, or even break the windows, nor can they even see out of them anymore. One bolder, many doors & windows. Make better sense now? We have yet to know who we are trying to help {the so called insane, mentally injured man boy Sam or his would be victims} but as it stands now, all but Annie is trying to get out. It would seem that the main thing that needs to be discovered are
    Where/how/why did Tannis die?
    What do these files Annie keeps sending out with "Shelldot" in them mean?

Secondary to this, in order to decide who to help, you have to decide for yourself what is going on. Is Sam the God he appears to be? What was up with Annie & Tannis? What was that stone? Why else did Wasser go to Mexico, and why is there no way to contact him? How do we get into Tannis' files {the password on the computer is not Tannis, and Sam thinks Annie *might* have changed it}.

And finally, this is something I want to clear up - someone asked is Wasser {dadd0} is really Sam's dad. Well, Sam won't discuss this too much. I'm not sure he understands fully, but it's been confirmed that Wasser's wife had an affair. Also, Sam was in a horrid accident {either in a car, or hit BY a car} that not only put him in a hospital, but in a mental ward as well.

Now then, let's all play nice, or not play at all. Any more objections to me not telling you Sam's favorite color and stuff like that?

Annie is asleep. She was punished for talking to me. She is also not allowed near the computers anymore, as she as gone quite insane, and is harder to understand than Sam even, not to mention she seems to basically be trying to get them all killed - oddly enough, though, she seems to want to same things solved as Sam does.

I had a chat Wednesday night with Tom, and for the first time got to speak to Sam aswell. Wooo, there's some weird stuff going on there. Bascially the guys are still waiting for info from us on Tannis, and Tom seems to have developed a real admiration for Sam and his godlike ways.

Annie was busy working when I was chatting to them both, but Sam was acting very, very aggresively. He spoke about being able to make earthquakes and volcanoes erupt, I asked him if he had ever done this and he said no, but he would like to try. He also asked if there had been any earthquakes or volcanoes erupt whilst they had been inside. Maybe nothing but sounded a weird thing to ask off-the-cuff.

The most disturbing thing was Sam is looking to sacrifice again, and his target this time is Annie as in his eyes she continues to defy him. Here's a snippet:

Quote:
hksl0521: wel Jim nd Tom b helpn meh but som1 her is nt helpn much
gemsweetiepie: you mean Annie?
hksl0521: u cn count 2 4, wel dun

Allright...one of these times I'm gonna actually be right about this...

Maybe Sam is the name of the boy/controlling personality...but the others are splits or multiple personalities...

It would make a lot of sense and help clear up some things...

If Sam is in a mental institution then it would explain why he couldn't get out and also explain his delusions or Godlike abilities...he would think he was able to achive earthquakes and volcanoes or whatever else because he is irrational...

And think about it...whenever someone else comes on it's because Sam is or has allowed them to speak for the others...and that Sam has them held hostage against their wills...sure he has, because their personalities trapped inside Sam...

I think Wasser might be Sam's father who is an Archeologists/Professor who has lost a friend and colleage in Tannis...and Tannis also may have been an idol to Sam...someone he looked up to and his death and his father leaving him/deserting him in his hour of need has brought on this session of instability within the four walls of Sam's mind....that would also explain how Sam has seemed to have gone from captore to admiration that some have expressed resently...

As for Annie, maybe a Nurse that Sam is close to or has a thing for? Annie innocently might be playing along to start with but now has neather the time nor patience to play along anymore...so Sam has started to resent her and her role in his life/dellusion...(she may also be a student to the professor that is more mature and slightly motherly) that would explain the password thing.

I'm probably WAY the hell off as usual, but at least I try...lol...as long as we have fun and it takes us away for a few minutes from our real lifes in a daydream or two, that's what it really is all about, isn't it?

Have fun and play nice...nothing wrong with different viewpoints...that's what make us human and interesting....8^)

The multiple personality theory really makes sense to me. When the theory is applied, this whole situation really reminds me of the movie Identity I'll spoiler the stuff about the movie for those of you that haven't seen it and don't want it spoiled.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Here's the plot summary from IMDB: Strangers from all different walks of life: a limo driver escorting a movie star, parents with a young son, a cop transporting a convict, a prostitute, a young couple, and a motel manager are caught up in a nasty rainstorm. Why they're caught up is that they're stuck a motel in desolate Nevada. But soon they realize they may be at the motel for a reason when one by one, people start getting killed off. As tensions flare and fingers are pointed, they have to get to the bottom of why they're there. While in an undisclosed location, a psychiatrist is trying to prove the innocence of a man accused of murder in an eleventh hour trial. How these two scenarios are related can only be found in Identity.

In the end of the movie, you find out that all of those trapped at the motel are the multiple personalities of the murderer facing the death penalty. The psychiatrist is doing some kind of therapy to consolidate all of the personalites in one place (the motel) and get rid of all of them, including the one that was the killer personality. Therefore, most of the real action of this movie happens inside the mind of the serial killer.

but he's not. And more proof to that would be that people in mental institutions are not allowed on AIM - his father, who was trying to contact him, would have called or visited, not tried to AIM his mentally defunct son with "He is not who he seems"

they don't always have his permission.... not to mention sometimes they have been talking to us in secret on a different screen name at the same time Sam has been talking to us.

I'm not exactly sure where you are going with this - is she a split personality, or an outside person playing along? Either way, she is a traitor in Sam's mind. And she can no longer type, nor think correctly. as she once told me: "he s craz taken sme f m mnd awa"

It's a great theory, i'm just not so sure it works.... let me know what you think after reading my response... I do like the theory... Sam only told me he had been in a hospital after I told him about my friend "Ed" dying {yes, that's right, i was saying "i don't much go around there anymore, not since the hospital..." and continued to explain about "investigating" dread house/urban hunt. not fully, i didn't go into details, just said something about murders at an abandoned mental hospital.... This was all in response to him saying "where is enaxor, i need him" {to which i also response "I think Enaxor is a she"

Just online now with Annie and she is trying to send me a file 'untitled3.txt' with no luck.

She says she already sent it to Pixiestix and therefore has told me to ask you to show it to the group, and told me to tell everyone its from Sam.

COUPLE things here, first: i'll post it, i thought it was the same out shelldot document you guys can't seem to figure out - she's lucky I saved it. secondly, ANNIE LIES - when she sent me the document, she got in HUGE amounts of trouble for being online, and at the same time, she was trashing Sam. She does nothing for his gain within her will. She has done nothing from the start but try to hurt Sam - she did not send me the file because Sam wanted her to. Now, whether it's the same file or not, guess you all better get cracking... I am certain now that the message I posted about Sam aiming me when i was away, that cryptic one liner, was really Annie, and your key to solving this {the last two words being "Sam Comes" and then her signing off being more proof as to her treason}. I feel badly for helping Annie, the vile creature that she is - Do not ask me to again. I will not accept files from her anymore.

Thanks for sharing the file Pixie.

Its is hard for anyone to really know who is aim-ing as they all seem to use one another's aim accounts at their wim. I dont think any of the characters on here are stable, like people are saying, this could be one person with multiple personalities.

You seem a little annoyed at helping anyone on here, but also annoyed we aren't solving the puzzles quick enough, but I thought the idea was we all work together on this?

Anyway, hopefully someone good with codes can solve it.

You seem a little annoyed at helping anyone on here, but also annoyed we aren't solving the puzzles quick enough, but I thought the idea was we all work together on this?

Anyway, hopefully someone good with codes can solve it.


I'll try to explain this again: I am not playing the same game you are, it's just that *MY* game intersects with what you all are doing. I don't care if you all solve the puzzles or not, it's semi-inconsequential to what I'm doing. This is a small game, it's a change to experiment within the genre - i've said fromt he start, i am not working with you, please forgive my actions and understand it's for the greater good of ARGing as a whole. I can promise you off the bat, i am not behind the curtain.

No, they are not using "each other's accounts" it's sam's account, and Wasser's accounts - the only ones open at the place they are at, and i thought i shot down MPD with the whole "secretly talking at the same time on two different accounts" thing.... But, if that's all it is, nothing to solve, game over. It means there is no Wasser, no tannis. No need to discover where or how he died, no reason to learn about the stone that broke, or the Mayan anythings. I have been trying to help in tiny ways, point people in what appears to be the right directions - when i am TOLD FLAT OUT by a char to tell everyone something, i do it, i pass on the message. If they feel neglected, i pass it on. i don't care if you neglect them, more time for me to play out what i'm doing. Does it make any sense at all? I support Sam, and only Sam. More and more, Tom is joining Sam's team, I am trusting of Tom... Jimjim is not so much in my trust, and Annie is a proven liar out to harm them all. I got one file from annie {posted here, again, lucky i decided to save it because on a whim during a bordom hour last night even i was going to take a look and try to solve it, yes...}, and beyond that one time when i had no clue who AIMed me, i always know which one i'm talking to. I saved every conversation i've had, and they aren't posted because of betrayal issues, and giving away my game. again, if it's not liked what i am doing, i'm sorry - bear with me, ARGers i've played with before like what i am doing, encourage it, and more than anything think that "yes, it's a chance to experiment". And, as i've said before, and will elaborate on now - The PMs do not need to take my words/actions into consideration for the game. If they choose to, it's on them. If my words/actions go against the game, and something happens that is just NOT supposed to, I am not the one to sabotage anything, if the PM sabotoages the game, it's on them - not me.

{there is no rule saying as a collective we all have to be on the same page, or even really help eachother, there are many ARG's that involve prizes, and there is a very small limit to how much help players can or will give eachother. there are ARG's where people team up and practically fight eachother. And I will point out the most known at the moment instance of a player going against the grain : Weepum, ILB. He went VERY far against the grain, and had a LOT of people mad mad mad at him for getting the Sleeping Princess killed - but in the long run, it was for the better of the game, and when all was said and done, it was very well played.}

This is the position I've always taken. Clearly, these PMs should start ignoring you from now on.

No rule perhaps, but that's generally how we like to do things here. This place is about collaboration, not in-fighting, and it's CERTAINLY not about attacking each other.

Two points (well, two and a half):

1. Weephun wasn't trying to fuck with the game. He was unfairly attacked for his spontaneity.
2. Weephun wasn't a dick about it either.
2½. It's Weephun, not Weepum.

If you really want so badly to play YOUR game and not "everyone else's," I invite you to find YOUR own place to do so because your attitude exhibited here is undesirable. If, on the other hand, you'd prefer to play nicely with others, feel free to stay.
