[12:01] heh heh! [12:01] it's the hotel shuffle! [12:01] and yeah, she totally forgot to block her number, and she forgot last night, too, when we talked. [12:02] perhaps she doesn't care [12:02] Cos I know *I'm* not gonna bug her [12:03] I wanted to go out for a bit but now I have to wait for Jenn to call. [12:04] I was like, jacket size? Aw man, we're gonna be wearing big, puffy athletic satin jackets with big old audi logos on them [12:04] and if this is so, I want some accompanying bling [12:06] It will be like the Oscars, they'll let your borrow some for the night [12:06] you [12:08] in the writeup Todd does, he can be all, "and here is Mattazuma, with a stunning emerald-encrusted front tooth bling with spinnaz ..." [12:08] it'll be very red carpet [12:10] Bored hausfrau is so the name of my next band [12:24] wow - it sounds like you guys are going to have so much fun tonight [12:25] ONLY IF I GET BLING [12:25] I mean, um, yes! [12:26] lol [13:02] * Joins: Lou|chicago (rhody1380@1e6a17d0.22cbf9e3.starwoodbroadband.com) [13:06] ok, new hotel [13:07] sheraton = almost as nice as the westin, but less expensive [13:07] and with a great view of navy p[ier [13:07] naptime [13:09] Yay pier [13:10] very very pretty at night [13:13] Chicago is a great city. This mission is making me want to visit again. [13:16] 40% chance of rain tonight [13:19] It's so humid. [13:20] Last night, when I got out of the cab and walked to my door, the streets were a little hazy in the distance [13:20] and yesterday was way foggy in the morning [13:21] Ha, Y!Weather says High of 81F, and it's currently 82. [13:21] I wonder how we should dress. [13:21] Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. [13:21] Probably casual/comfortable, since it's not a venue like a concert. [13:21] like spies [13:21] and we're getting jackets [13:21] * krystyn gets out ninja mask and utility belt [13:22] I was kinda hopin' it was Kraftwerk, after all. That would've ruled! [13:22] but, I am also excited about this, and not disappointed at all. [13:22] People, I have no idea what she means by "artwork plans" [13:22] because I would think it was forgery stuff, but that's Varin's task [13:22] * v[a]rin is now known as varin [13:23] hey krystyn [13:23] I'm just in charge of the forgers themselves I think [13:23] How about the list of paintings and the techniques? [13:24] find out what the others have and rule things out? [13:24] I have the heist timetable [13:24] That's what I was thinking, but I am not sure if we have 5 tonight, or 5 + that interloper, Lou! ;) [13:25] interloper! [13:25] cos if it's just 5, then we have 4+Lou doing his recon/recording [13:25] four of us + the plant + Lou [13:25] why I oughta [13:25] who was that guy that virgil recommended? [13:25] is he the plant? [13:25] You love it, Lou [13:25] :) [13:25] c'mon, I already told you you were brilliant for giving the game a switch-up [13:26] And I LOVE that they took the opportunity to go along with it [13:26] Virgil's guy is the plant [13:26] dammit, my cat is pukey mcpukesalot [13:26] sigh [13:26] Lou, that was one heck of a great idea. [13:26] You guys watch your back around Virgil's guy [13:26] * Lou|chicago blushes [13:26] Awww! [13:26] I forgot about Virgil's guy [13:26] Seriously, it's totally fun that you went to Ian [13:27] that would be the reason I was originally was rejected [13:27] And it might also be part of why they took so long to approve me? [13:27] 4 of us + virgil's guy = 5 [13:27] I dunno [13:27] erm, 4 of you [13:27] heee [13:27] I've got my own mission [13:27] :-P [13:27] :) [13:27] are you going to be able to get a video recorder? [13:27] Special special [13:28] I think the Treos record short videos, or maybe they will provide, like with the Atlanta retrieval [13:28] the cam stuff [13:29] well, I'm meeting with a guy at 6pm to go over op tech [13:29] excellent [13:29] I'm willing to bet it will be a camcorder [13:29] at least [13:29] I don't get the jackets, though [13:29] oh, wow, so you ARE meeting someone at 6 [13:29] HOW FUN! [13:29] More swag after [13:30] oh yeah, I wasn't kidding about that [13:31] krystyn, if I were you I'd just do all the artwork stuff, including what the forgers are supposed to be doing [13:31] * varin just scrolled up [13:31] jacket size? [13:31] yeah [13:32] Didn't you get a call? [13:32] man, I hope my printer cartridge holds out [13:32] I was outside. [13:32] Jenn from Chelsea called this morning and asked for my jacket size [13:32] got a call from a wireless caller though [13:32] * varin goes to check the messages [13:33] * Wishi-san is now known as Wishi-eat [13:33] Jenn called, I've got to call her back [13:37] woo! jacket size reported. [13:38] hopefully I gave the right size :/ [13:38] * missphinx pictures whole rack of jackets :) [13:39] you can drape your bling over it artfully [13:39] hehe [13:39] I asked if they were woman's jackets or men's and she wasn't sure [13:40] Do you guys want to meet up beforehand had go through the SD card stuff? [13:41] I'm up for it [13:42] YES PLZ [13:42] *whimper* [13:42] Pick some place in Little Italy. [13:43] we should play art heist trivia in chat to prep you guys [13:43] or greektown [13:43] * varin votes for italian [13:44] ooo, there's a place in Greektown that I LOVE [13:44] Artopolis [13:44] hi krystyn [13:44] they have this french fry thing [13:44] heya, celina! [13:44] how was dinner with Lou and Andrew last night? [13:45] you get a paper cone of fries, and they give you two containers, one with mustard, and one with crumbled feta [13:45] and then you dip, and dip [13:45] and it is SO GOOD [13:45] It was fun! We gabbed a lot, and it was fun :) [13:45] and then Lou and I went and saw some jazz at the Back Room [13:46] where I'd never been, so that was really cool for me [13:47] actually I don't care where we go as long as it's a place that has food that didn't at one point have 4 legs. [13:47] heee, well, there's various spanokopita type thingies that are meat-free there, iirc [13:47] two legs are ok? [13:47] those fries sound delightful [13:47] mmm, humanburger [13:47] yes two legs are ok :) [13:47] chickens are good, cows are bad [13:48] gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatekeeper [13:48] yo [13:48] varin, so you're just a red meat avoider? [13:48] no beef or pork [13:49] pork I don't blame you [13:49] and I don't do much red meat either [13:49] I never really liked either of them [13:49] I'm not a psycho PETA member or anything [13:49] bacon? [13:49] I'll eat turkey bacon [13:49] turkey bacon rules [13:49] i was a vegetarian for about 2 years [13:49] I haven't had "real" bacon in years [13:50] so, 9pm... [13:51] is that when the "fun" starts? [13:51] Yes. [13:51] We get training then. [13:51] the skinny [13:51] the 411 [13:52] GateKeeper: what was your assignment? [13:52] were you guys assigned topics? [13:52] hehe [13:52] mine is the guys working for gunter [13:52] mine is the forgers [13:52] kind of funny, cause i haven't really read a whole lot of the details there, so i have some filling in of gaps to do [13:52] OK, so I am still a little unclear on what I need to do, heh. [13:52] hee, me too! Um um um. [13:53] what was yours again krystyn? [13:53] yah, i'm still not sure how this will work either [13:53] Forgot to mention... [13:53] Since the heist plans is so huge it might be helpful if each one of us [13:53] concentrates on 1 area so we can "quiz" Gunter on stuff we know better. [13:53] You wanna take the artwork plans? Look over the stuff listed about [13:53] them, maybe print some of the pages from the sd cards out and have it [13:53] with you tomorrow night. [13:53] -n [13:54] so i guess you're supposed to familiarize yourself with which pieces of art he plans to steal and whatnot... [13:54] because "artwork plans" seems pretty ambiguous [13:54] it kinda is... [13:54] so I gotta print out all of those art pieces? [13:54] so you're just going to meet w/ Gunter and his crew? [13:54] I am gonna call myself a waaaaaahmbulance [13:54] it's good that we're talking though, cause both your and mine seems like it could include varin's topic as well [13:55] Gate: yours is the 19 criminals then? [13:55] apparently [13:55] ok, so I wont worry about those guys [13:55] You wanna take the criminals working for him? Look over the stuff [13:55] listed about them, maybe print some of the pages from the sd cards out [13:55] and have it with you tomorrow night. [13:55] * Wishi-eat is now known as Wishi-san [13:56] I've got the first three from this post.. http://forum.stolena3.com/index.php?showtopic=75&st=0&#entry621 [13:56] are those others yours krystyn or mine? [13:56] tomorrow night? she sent this at 1am.. heh [13:56] well i'm printing the sixsix stuff now [13:57] i think any employees that aren't forgers are my territory [13:59] So maybe I can have the list of the artworks themselves, and print out the techniques thing [13:59] well, so much for mowing my lawn before we go! heh [13:59] although, I should probably print out the artworks, too [13:59] *plz plz plz, printer cartridge, last the whole way...* [13:59] sounds right krystyn [13:59] has matt been around? what's he got? [14:00] I have the tietable [14:00] timetable [14:00] OK, now printing out techniques page, the handwritten page [14:01] i'm hoping for a bling bling printer cartridge in my jacket pocket [14:01] man, seems like i've got the biggest one! heh [14:02] noooooooo [14:02] http://metromix.chicagotribune.com/search/27484,0,1736338.venue [14:02] the list of artworks is pretty huj. [14:02] I'll do the time estimates for each forgers work? [14:03] mmmm yummy and romantic [14:03] and free parking [14:03] If I take the train down there, can I ride with someone to the Heist location? [14:03] sure [14:03] Sure [14:03] Coolio :) [14:04] What time do we wanna meet? [14:04] 7? [14:04] I may need help with navigation :) [14:04] 7 is fine by me, it'd be nice to grab something to eat... [14:05] 7 sounds good. [14:05] good for me too [14:05] google maps seemed to be accurate. [14:05] I wonder if I *need* to do laundry ... [14:05] I'd like to avoid it, so I have time to take a nap and print stuff [14:05] but I dunno. [14:05] that place sounds alright matt [14:05] grrrr [14:05] I bought a new shirt yesterday so I wouldn't have to do laundry for today [14:05] Hahahaha!

[14:32] LOL [14:32] i've got a lot to keep straight just with all these names and skills and whatnot [14:32] Nisha got another one of those messages with the looped [14:32] Possibly. I am just so unsure of what mine entails. "artwork plans" [14:32] i guess i'll print out the photos too [14:32] "oh yeah, virgil, I'm behind the uffizi heist" [14:32] yah, it's kinda vague [14:33] has anyone sent nisha lou's email from ian's inbox?

[14:40] hey rose [14:41] yup [14:41] i hope they expect me to do anything silly... [14:41] space: did you go on vacation already? and if so, how was it? [14:41] ... like go 3 hours without a cigarette [14:41] heh [14:41] Gatekeeper: don't expect to be able to use your own equipment [14:41] if i can't smoke, gunter and I may just come to blows! [14:41] yah, i'm not really [14:42] but it is good for a backup [14:42] I'll have my cell and digicam.

[14:42] Yes, please, rose [14:42] good idea [14:42] i've got a Sony DSC-T33 so it's TINY [14:42] yah rose [14:42] try to meet each other ahead of time so you feel comfortable [14:42] rose: yeah i got back last saturday, and it was great :) [14:42] already worked out [14:43] having dinner together beforehand [14:43] good [14:43] except Lou :) [14:43] Yeah [14:43] THAT INTERLOPER DOUBLE CROSSING SMILEY GUY [14:43] :( [14:43] it would be cool to have lou there [14:43] but one the mission really try to pay attention to what is happening around you [14:43] Yes, yes it would, but he's gonna be all covert [14:43] but we'll probably have to have some conversations he shouldn't be privy too [14:43] which isn't easy [14:44] whose side is he on? [14:44] wow, it's POURING! [14:44] Ian's [14:44] he's working for ian [14:44] oohh [14:44] we don't know he's there technically [14:44] It's pouring? It's sunny and clear here. [14:44] And I am near Logan Square, in the city. [14:44] pouring [14:44] i'm in hanover park.. checking to see if this is moving east now [14:44] seriously, bright and sunshiney [14:44] sunny at navcy pier [14:44] * rose1 sees lou and ian getting drunk together and missing the event ;) [14:44] heh [14:44] heeeee [14:45] heh [14:45] i was wondering if it'd be cool to have a drink or two with dinner.. [14:45] but anyway, there is so much happening at the same time that it can be hard to pay attention [14:45] I would wait until after the event :) [14:45] yah but after = 1 hour drive [14:46] but it is really important because there is so many of you to keep tabs on what is happening [14:46] maybe if i just limit myself to 1.. i dunno, we'll see [14:46] right [14:46] because things develop fast [14:46] you sounded a little overwhelmed on the voicemails, from what your saying i take it you were [14:46] I dunno, maybe this is just telling you what you already know [14:46] heh [14:46] I wonder how blocked-in we are to be successful on these missions. [14:46] it's helpful none the less [14:46] I haven't listened to them :) [14:46] Because I can see why Coachella was aborted [14:47] I just hope I don't sound too panicked on them [14:47] but it was extenuating circumstances, mostly [14:47] Did you leave voicemails from your own cell, to whom? [14:47] yes me too [14:47] * Hellion_afk is now known as Hellion [14:47] radar shows a big line of storms in my area [14:47] no - just to nisha [14:47] oh oh, on the LRR #? [14:47] moving NE [14:47] I might see those storms soon. [14:48] It's very humid. [14:48] no - I think he means the calls Nisah made to me [14:48] Nisha [14:48] ooooohhhhh. [14:48] it's a thin line, so it'll likely move through the area by tonight [14:48] and remember everything you say and do is being recorded :) [14:48] I am still frantically trying to read up. There's a goodly amount of material to cover. [14:48] Heh. [14:48] Nisha will give you complete instructions [14:48] Yeah, I will need to write that on my hand: "WATCH YOUR FREAKING MOUTH, WELLS" [14:49] just do whatever she says :) [14:49] Rock on. [14:49] now i understand why this pics of the people a 8.5x11 [14:49] also, Nisha herself isn't that calm in the events [14:49] she seems anxious too [14:49] well that's got to be crazy stressful for the person playing her [14:49] so she isn't a really calming influence [14:49] oh yeah@ [14:49] awesome...severe thunderstorms planned for tonight [14:49] we'll have to be each other's calming influence [14:49] she is amazing :) [14:49] lou - what's the hour by hour saying? [14:50] 3pm to midnight [14:50] but one more thing [14:50] crapstastic [14:50] scattered strong t-storms [14:50] I would be prepared for this to end badly... [14:50] the line i'm seeing is strong, but pretty thin so it should move through quickly [14:50] just as part of the story. [14:50] not anything you do wrong [14:50] Yeah, meeting Gunter CAN'T be good. [14:50] i'm almost nervous nisha will get kidnapped or something [14:50] plot-wise, yes. [14:50] She says she has surprises [14:50] and she was trying to keep this from Ian [14:51] yes that is what I mean plot-wise [14:51] she totally lied to him about where she was going [14:51] Which is why Lou is so freaking awesome. [14:51] * v[a]rin is now known as varin [14:51] well, she is checking up on Ian [14:51] nodnod [14:51] and yes Lou is so freaking awesome [14:51] * varin wonders if we're getting jackets in case it pours [14:51] LOL [14:51] Heh! [14:51] good point [14:51] rain gear! [14:51] Lou makes Ian look like the big whiney loser he is ;) [14:52] * Lou|chicago is not afraid to throwdown if things get hectic [14:52] :) [14:52] that would explain the last minute jacket size request [14:52] heh :) [14:52] this is outside? [14:52] I still think we're gonna get satiny puffy jackets with logos all over them, and we're gonna become pit crew for Gunter's new career in racing Audis through industrial areas. [14:52] :P [14:52] it's for Virgil's new game, Gunter Theft Artiste [14:52] * rose1 wants jacket too [14:53] horry chit: http://www.crh.noaa.gov/radar/latest/DS.p19r0/si.klot.shtml [14:53] "Gunter moves like an asthmatic weevil, Emile." [14:53] rose - we don't really know [14:53] but we're meeting at a marina on the chicago river [14:53] at our event when Nisha had to come and find the card, I was really worried that the plot was for her to be caught [14:54] and I found that a bit worrisome [14:54] well that's a much larger storm than weather.com's radar shows [14:54] Wow, um, nice weather patterns. [14:54] if gmail stays down the whole time, I can't communicate with ian [14:54] :( [14:54] I can get in [14:54] I just tried [14:54] try again [14:54] I just was in a bit ago [14:55] so where did you guys PM emile? [14:55] stolena3 [14:55] new e-mail from me to ian [14:55] posted on iannet [14:55] I thank him for taking my cell phone number out of the e-mail [14:56] great, my cat is eating fish food [14:56] heh [14:56] "What's with Nisha lately, anyway?" - Reason #76 why Lou Rules [14:56] wow, I missed this whole thread from emile :) [14:57] Lou: Nisha is truly gorgeous [14:57] yeah [14:57] I was surprised at how stunning she is in person [14:57] maybe I'll sabotage my op and just go hit on her [14:57] "Hey gorgeous, how YOU doin'?" [14:57] wather.com's map has less interference on it - http://www.weather.com/outlook/recreation/outdoors/local/60641?lswe=60641&lwsa=Weather36HourOutdoorsCommand# [14:58] she;ll kick your ass [14:58] click the 'map in motion' link to see how fast it's moving [14:58] even better - http://www.weather.com/outlook/recreation/outdoors/map/60641?from=LAPmaps&name=index_large_animated&day=1 [14:58] it's already getting lighter out west here [14:58] where's xnbomb? [14:59] emile doesn't write like a game designer. [14:59] good, I hope you guys don't get caught in a downpour [14:59] rose, how do you know what a game designer writes like? [15:00] I think I can get away with not doing laundry. I found clothes that are clean and won't look totally bad. [15:00] heh [15:01] I know it isn't like this. [15:01] Guys, do you think I really need to print out all of the artworks? There's 26 of them. [15:01] no [15:01] why would you need to do that? [15:01] I printed out the title listing [15:01] is it part of the mission? [15:01] Cos Nisha said to take printouts [15:02] of the ones in the forgery list? [15:02] Mine is for the 'artwork plans' [15:02] but I am not sure what that means [15:02] well, i'm gonna put all the criminal photos on my camera [15:02] i can put the artwork stuff there too if you want [15:02] krystyn, have you tried asking Nisha? [15:02] You know what? Yes. [15:03] yah, that's a thought.. ask her [15:06] one more bit of advice, you will probably be more nervous than you think you will be :) [15:07] I'm already nervou [15:07] s [15:07] doing this is fun, but when it is real and real people are around you that are strangers, it is stressful [15:07] just do what Nisha says and you will be fine [15:08] well that sucks, my camera won't let me move jpegs onto it [15:08] the security guards made me nervous, two of them were really big guys [15:08] what are you nervous about? [15:09] just generally nervous [15:09] but it's not a super bad nervous [15:09] what kind of camera varin? [15:10] Heh heh, right on cue, it gets all dark and overcast here. [15:10] Grrrr. [15:10] canon powershot A95 [15:10] it's letting up a little here [15:10] hmm, i dunno about canon [15:10] sony's require a pretty strick naming/foldering scheme [15:11] Shoot, I have a Sony [15:11] Cybershot, W1 [15:11] varin: what is your part to do? [15:11] try using picasa or something to move em on [15:12] rose: the forgers [15:12] the people or the techniques? [15:12] what are you guys going to do, tie Gunter up and interrogate him? [15:12] the people [15:12] tie Gunter up and give him some Nyquil! [15:12] how is he going to talk to you:) [15:13] We have nooooooo idea. [15:13] take some antibiotics for him [15:13] got any spare amoxicillan around the house? [15:13] we have ways of making him talk [15:13] heh, i've always wanted to say that [15:13] what about the goons ? [15:14] it just seems unlikely that you will have ages and ages to talk with him... [15:14] heh [15:14] you can always threaten to call his mommy ;) [15:14] I think we're gonna get interrupted [15:14] he seems to fold under that pressure [15:15] wow picasa is actually pretty cool [15:15] yah, it's like itunes for windows [15:15] err.. iphoto [15:16] It's getting darker and darker now, heh [15:16] stopped raining here [15:16] it'll last about 30 mins or so [15:17] radar looks clear to my west now too, i hope that's all we have [15:17] Maybe it'll be strong enough to clear out some humidity [15:18] damn, these pics aren't a good size for storing on the cam [15:18] trying to resize... [15:18] has anyone thought about outside communication this time around? [15:19] we have each other's cell numbers [15:19] if anyone here is going to be around i can give you mine [15:19] I will be around [15:20] but really you need my number don't you? [15:20] is Dia here? [15:20] well i guess both ways is best [15:20] Hee hee, this is awesome: http://forum.stolena3.com/index.php?showtopic=110&view=findpost&p=733 [15:20] viral marketing ahoy! [15:21] man, the dimensions of these pics suck for putting on a camera [15:21] very very dark now [15:21] windy, too [15:22] it's cooling off [15:22] HELLO RAIN [15:23] hey bagsbee [15:23] hi rose :) [15:23] brb [15:24] Yah, it's totally pouring now, and my bathroom door keeps swinging shut. [15:24] okay cool, got em resized and rotated so they fit my camera... [15:24] text is impossible to read, but i've got that printed too [15:25] can you zoom in on your viewscreen at all? [15:26] yes [15:26] my printout ans B&W, so these may be handy after all [15:26] I did mine in b&w too [15:27] cool [15:28] wow, these are actually legible zoomed it [15:28] I'm PMing Emile for hints about the wordsearch puzzle [15:28] in [15:28] trying to sound convincingly interested in Virgil without being stalkerlike [15:31] holy crap, it is pouring [15:31] it won't last long [15:31] good [15:34] it's already dying down a bit [15:34] Mattazuma: are you in the city proper? I'm sorry if I already asked this. [15:35] I'm in the west loop. [15:36] Woot woot [15:37] Walking distance to the United Center [15:37] okay, i've got all my stuff hard copy and digital (on the camera) [15:37] you still want me to bring along digital copies of the artwork krystyn? [15:38] damn, i need to east something! [15:38] when does this start? [15:39] you know with Ian there, we may get a live feed.. [15:39] what do you think? [15:42] * Hellion shakes his magic 8-ball [15:42] "future looks cloudy" [15:42] what happened to the shizzle shizzle? [15:42] GateKeeper: Yes, please. :) [15:42] I don't remember Bill's script trigger [15:42] 10 PM is the meeting with Gunter. [15:43] 9 PM we are to meet Nisha for the training/etc. [15:43] 11PM my time then [15:43] wow a whole hour? [15:43] this will be intense then [15:43] wow...rain is almost over [15:43] that was intense [15:43] yay [15:43] Yeah! [15:44] Heh, your "will do" email is up, Lou [15:44] yeah [15:44] I hope the webcam (if there is one) is rainproof! [15:44] * krystyn does another happy dance about her picture. [15:44] no webcam...LOUCAM! [15:44] is Lou rainproof? [15:44] um...yeah [15:44] oh Loucam [15:44] bbiab [15:44] you love your picture? [15:44] I dry off and return no worse for the wear [15:45] are you guys going to be in touch with this chat? [15:45] rose1: yeah, it cracks me up. [15:45] I have a cow on my head. [15:45] I haven't seen it [15:45] heh [15:45] Look in Nisha's inbox. [15:46] I'm waiting for gmail to work so that I can alert Ian that the meet with GUnter is at 10pm [15:46] I like to make serious art detectives think, "She's a very professional, serious person." [15:46] ha! [15:46] i've got rose's cell phone number [15:46] and that the Chicago retrievers are meeting with Nisha at 9 [15:46] so i can communicate through her, not so sure how much time i'll have to talk during the op though [15:47] so what is everyone wearing? jeans/t-shirt type stuff? [15:47] call my home number [15:47] shorts/polo shirts [15:47] ohh right.. i've got both rose [15:47] and sneakers...in case I need to flee... [15:47] :) [15:47] shorts? it might be kinda cool [15:47] I will be wearing black trousers, and a black button-down collared blouse [15:47] and black boots with white laces and pink lips on them [15:47] if it's above 55, it's warm enough for shorts [15:47] :) [15:47] As a Chicagoan, I must protest [15:47] krystyn: you look very sweet in that picture [15:47] at 34F, it's OK to wear shorts [15:48] heh [15:48] Thanks, rose! Hee. Dasro took the pic, and he's such a sweetie that I didn't have the heart to make a "don't take this pic face." [15:48] anyone else need or want a number to reach me? or to give me their cell? [15:48] it's -almost- that look. [15:49] It's also his cow. [15:49] heh [15:50] you guys will probably be together? or seperated? [15:50] The ephemera for this game is really nicely done, as a general rule [15:50] like a grilling team of FBI agents [15:50] this game is awesome [15:50] Don't really know [15:51] Every time I think, "oh, we'll be doing -this-, and -that-," a voice reminds me, "Nisha has surprises for Gunter." [15:51] So, you know, I really don't think we have ANY idea. [15:51] okay, got the pics krystyn... [15:51] don't you think that emile asking about nisha is sortof creeeepy? [15:51] We might even be pawns for her, somehow. [15:51] Yes. [15:51] i had to rename em for my cam, so there's no way to tell what the original names were [15:51] Thanks, GateKeeper! [15:51] rose - yes, I informed Nisha about it, but didn't get a response [15:51] you don't know the pics by name? [15:51] I'll take notes on the titles [15:51] see nisha's inbox [15:51] He had to re-name them specially [15:52] I just read that :) [15:52] in order to make the cam see them [15:52] rigth [15:52] oh [15:52] mine are great cause they have the persons name written in each pic [15:52] well they aren't hard to recognize [15:52] Yah, and I can take note of the print #, too [15:52] so you guys are prepared for unexpected stuff to happen?? [15:53] Yeah. [15:53] if we were prepared it wouldn't be unexpected would it? [15:53] I am TOTALLY expecting to be surprised. ;) [15:53] i think we're about as prepared as we can be not knowing much of anything about what will be happening [15:53] you know what I mean :) [15:53] I think jason was a bit unnerved by not being able to find the card where we thought it would be...that is not a criticism [15:54] we all were [15:54] man, this is awesome [15:54] I know. You know I know. I know you know I know. We know Henry knows, and Henry knows we know it. [15:54] i can even read the text on the camera when i zoom [15:54] We're a knowledgable family. [15:54] heh [15:54] still only 16MB of stuff on the camera [15:54] that leaves me over 1000MB worth of room for other pics, should the opprotunity arise [15:54] Yay for le zoom zoom. [15:56] and your new treo will have a camera on it :) [15:56] you guys are meeting at a marina? [15:56] is it a private marina? [15:56] Dunno. [15:57] no, it's semi-public from what i can tell [15:57] Who was the one who drove down there? Matt? [15:57] like people can pay for use and stuff [15:57] matt was there last night [15:57] Yeah, I drove by [15:57] lots of stored boats [15:57] heh [15:57] it is good to be familiar with the layout if you can [15:57] it will be dark when you are there right? [15:58] Couldn't get into the marina. The entrance was blocked by two cars and some guys. [15:58] yah, 10pm is the scheduled meeting time [15:58] I think it helped me to be on Park Ave. as it is sort of my neighborhood [15:58] did you get pics of the guys by chance? [15:58] maybe you can walk by earlier? [15:58] i'm curious if they're any of the known characters... [15:58] though that seems unlikely [15:58] which guys? [15:58] oh last night [15:58] They didn't look like guys who wanted their pictures taken [15:58] the guys blocking the entrance last night [15:58] heh [15:58] understandable then [15:59] This is not a great neighborhood. [15:59] yah, i kinda figured [15:59] seeing as how i'm not in the least bit familiar with it [16:00] at least there's not far to go for the expressway afterwards [16:00] Heh heh!! [16:00] The expressway entrance is right there. [16:00] yah, i checked out some satellite photos [16:01] any other pics i should bring with just in case? [16:01] Wow google maps rock [16:01] i've got all the criminals and all the art info... [16:01] yah, google maps blows me away.. way better than mapquest [16:02] maybe bring ian's lease and the timetable? [16:02] or wait, timetable is someone's assigned area [16:02] I have the timetable [16:03] okay cool [16:03] want to bring a copy of that lease too, just in case? [16:03] sure, no prob [16:03] I think Nisha has the lease covered :) [16:03] but you should bring it too [16:04] Lou: is there another way at all to reach Ian? [16:04] I have to go but maybe someone else could email him for you? [16:04] well, if I can't contact him, I'm still meeting his guy at 6pm [16:05] cracks me up that ian just happened to have someone in the area.. heh [16:05] wow, 6pm? that's quite a bit earlier than us [16:05] yeah [16:05] Lou gets AV training [16:06] 3 hours worth? [16:06] cool [16:06] they might have dinner too [16:06] I'm sure it's probably an hour of training, then I go away and come back at 9 [16:06] the camera Madamo had was really something [16:06] aww man, we don't get dinner out of it! heh [16:06] i imagine they're probably using pretty much commercial gear [16:06] I mean the filmmakers walking by respected it [16:06] cool [16:06] it was a thing of beauty [16:07] I don't think I'll be using a pro camera [16:07] probably a camcorder [16:07] heh [16:07] smaller, less conspicuous [16:07] I was just gonna ask what type of camera he used [16:07] these PMs are filmmakers [16:07] I'm thinking a small digital camcorder [16:07] I dunno what type it was [16:07] man, i have no idea what to expect from this... [16:07] It'll be something pretty good, so it can pick us up in low light. [16:07] just listen to nisha ;) [16:07] yah, our OOG contact mentioned a studio name [16:08] yah rose, i learned that much after the coachella event [16:08] OMG< these videos are CRACKING ME UP [16:08] which? [16:08] heh [16:08] I haven't seen them [16:08] "watch ... see? we have ... ... nothing ... here ... ..." [16:08] *screen pops out, Jason rifles around, pokes at things* [16:08] that is so hilarious [16:08] heh [16:08] What a fantastic moment [16:09] its was even hilarious at the time [16:09] I BET!! [16:09] omg, so funnt [16:09] when they were ripping the car apart [16:09] and funny [16:09] who is the announcer? [16:09] he's doing a pretty good job for being completely put on the spot [16:09] finally the security guard was looking at me like WTH? [16:09] Jason [16:09] he was great [16:09] and he starts swearing [16:09] just excited [16:10] omg, he's in the back seat now [16:10] DYING OF LAUGHTER [16:10] he's so great [16:10] did they put in the video of the engine? [16:10] where are the videos of the heist? [16:10] that was a high point [16:10] yeah, just a few seconds [16:10] opening the hood [16:10] frustrated sighing noises [16:11] we couldn't think of anything to say [16:11] so the security guards weren'tin on it? [16:11] I will watch these later [16:11] not all of them [16:11] You totally should, rose [16:11] they all knew about it [16:11] aha 'the dvd rom feature' *shakes head* [16:11] but there were 8 guards around us [16:11] "damn, there's nothing here!" [16:12] 8 guards? [16:12] wow [16:12] and some of them were suspicous of what we were doing anyway [16:12] yes, didn't I say that? [16:12] hmm [16:12] I thought I explained that to Nisha at one point [16:12] GateKeeper: so FUNNY [16:12] I did feel a bit set up by that though [16:13] haah [16:13] * rose1 shakes fist, but not very angrily [16:13] 'we have the navigation system.. the uhh... watch... nothing here!' [16:13] haha [16:13] now he's cursing like a sailor [16:13] hee hee [16:13] it's like there's an echo in here [16:13] Jason is going to be at ARGFest I hope [16:13] i can see one of the security guards in the background looking at him all wierd [16:13] I so need to shake that guy's hand [16:14] what videos are you guys watching? [16:14] in Nisha's inbox [16:14] the NY AFI party [16:14] ah, ok [16:14] the videos, specifically [16:14] he could run the trivia contest [16:14] * Hellion goes to check them out [16:14] what about my performance? [16:14] any comments? [16:14] ;) [16:14] ahh, our pics are finally up on sa3 [16:14] cool :) [16:14] I didn't really um, see you, I don't think. At least, not anything that you said! [16:14] well, we just kinda see your back as you walk around [16:15] heh [16:15] haha, there's nisha hopping in [16:15] and you don't see madamo at all [16:15] he did a great job capturing that moment [16:15] HAHAHA, they sort of cut out the cow. [16:15] YES HE DID [16:15] that was really awesome [16:15] he cut out pedro! [16:15] he totally zoomed in on her [16:16] "layers of intrigue previously unheard of in an LRR mission." [16:16] wow, exciting! [16:17] who is that Virgil's associate? [16:17] madamo did a great job [16:17] hey, they called me a double agent! [16:17] do you see her escape? [16:17] YAY LOU!! [16:17] I specifically asked for Nisha's input to AVOID being called a double agent! [16:17] that was after I made them move [16:17] all angry at Nisha! [16:18] Angry at Nisha is the name of my next band [16:18] oh stop [16:18] once you meet her you guys will be all about how great she is ;) [16:18] the guy in the background combing his hair when nisha gets in the car looks a bit like roger [16:18] face is blurred though [16:19] I meant Lou! [16:19] ??? [16:19] with Todd's writup [16:19] writeup [16:19] That's what I was referring to, with being angry at Nisha [16:19] oh write [16:19] "An agent named Lou (photo unavailable), apparently angry after being "shot down" by Nisha for the Chicago mission, decided to help out Ian instead, volunteering to spy on Nisha's meeting with Gunter and report back to him." [16:20] PHOTO UNAVAILABLE, hee hee [16:20] well, once nisha sees lou she will be sorry she didn't pick him :) [16:20] of course it's unavailable, I don't want people to know what I look like [16:20] :) [16:21] too bad matt and lou weren't in opposite places [16:21] rose1: I know, right? [16:21] why? [16:21] cause then we could call it 'mattazuma's revenge' [16:21] LOL [16:21] Hah! [16:21] lol [16:21] if you don't know Lou, I can't help you ;) [16:21] only Krystyn knows what I look like [16:22] haha, this video is great [16:22] she's saying you make her weak in the knees lou [16:22] no [16:22] weak elsewhere? [16:22] just that Nisha will be sorry :) [16:22] I got to sit next to Lou all night in a dimly-lit jazz joint. [16:22] How can I not love my life? [16:22] lucky girl :) [16:22] and all because of ARGs :) [16:22] my ego is going to be inflated beyond repair if people keep talking about me like this [16:22] Hee hee! [16:23] DAMN YOU GMAIL! [16:24] lou: have you no other email account? [16:24] I do, but I don't want to use them for fear of confusing Ian [16:24] he isn't stupid [16:24] tell him gmail is down [16:25] you need a backup anyway [16:26] guys - new thing on the audi site [16:26] with a new trailer [16:26] ... [16:26] I hate this java applet [16:26] how do I copy and paste? [16:28] Rose, do you use firefox? [16:28] There is a nice IRC plug-in for Firefox [16:29] I use xchat, personally [16:30] works well, only takes up 7mb, and there's a minimize-to-toolbar plugin which I like [16:30] http://audiusa.com/shared/a3_microsite/html/a3_microsite_vin_content.html [16:30] I think that is right [16:30] I had to type it MANUALLY [16:30] * rose1 is spoiled [16:30] I am not at home, I use Mirc at home [16:31] cool trailer :) [16:31] I have to go now [16:31] bye guys [16:32] talk to you later [16:32] and give my number to anyone who may need it [16:32] :) [16:32] it always lights up my heart when the Audi commercial comes up [16:32] :D [16:32] esp. when it's the middle of the Mythbusters beer episode [16:34] this is in no way related to tonight's heist... but has it been determined whether the "Iannet" was compromised on accident or intentionally? [16:36] Good Q! I do not know. [16:37] wow, that new trailer is awesome! [16:37] Addle, what myths about beer did the mythbusters bust? [16:37] they're seeing what cools it fastest [16:38] liquid nitrogen? [16:38] actually, dissolving salt in icewater brought a room temp beer down to about 30 degrees in 5 mins! [16:38] wow [16:38] ice water...salt... got it [16:39] is there a 4th easter egg we haven't seen? [16:39] since the trailer has shots of nisha that we haven't seen yet? [16:40] maybe [16:40] if that trailer were for a movie, i'd see it [16:40] I have a question: has anyone tried to reconstruct the taped grid of all the prints of the artworks to be stolen/forged? [16:41] is it definitely 26 pieces that are planned on being taken? [16:41] they don't fit together 100%, at least that's what others have said [16:41] but it shows the shape of the rooms and has the paintings taped in their respective locatiosn [16:41] OK, cool. I've been poking around for my answer, but I am trying to learn as much as I can. [16:41] Gotcha. [16:41] so, Lou is infamous now! [16:41] thank you. [16:41] YES HE IS [16:41] there is a picture of a 'reconstruction' [16:42] but since each picture was taken separately - it doesnt fit nicely as GK said [16:42] The reconstructed picture in in the puzzle section [16:42] sorry, only partially paying attention [16:45] I think I am gonna take a short nap. Man. I'll be back. You can call my cell if anything really crazy happens. [16:45] I wonder if I should try to navigate by public transit, or if a taxi would be better [16:46] where are you now? [16:47] cab might be best, it's not a great neighborhood to get lost in [16:50] yeah, I'd imagine [16:50] but then, I'd have to find a way home too [16:50] are taxis relatively easy to catch down there once the op is over? [16:51] no [16:51] well...I'll take a cab there, and latch on to you all after the op [16:51] Someone can give you a ride back [16:51] cool [16:51] thanks [16:55] * johnny5 waves [16:55] hey johnny [16:55] Lou! [16:55] great social engineering job [16:56] thanks [16:56] yah, we can take you back... [16:56] storms cleared up in the city? [16:56] yeah [16:56] it was weird [16:57] in the span of an hour, it went from sunny to dark as night to pouring like hell to drizzle to sunny again [16:57] nothing over iowa either, we should be pretty good [16:57] yah, small storm system [16:57] did the humidity break? [16:58] when dealing with Nisha, make note of any animals she reminds you of :) [16:58] http://maps.google.com/maps?spn=0.044922,0.088117&saddr=301+East+North+Water+Street,+Chicago,+IL&daddr=2301+S+Union+Ave,+Chicago,+IL+60616&hl=en [16:59] that's the route I'd take if walking [16:59] but it would take me an hour [16:59] :) [16:59] humidity seems better here [16:59] oh, so you're right near navy pier [16:59] yeah [16:59] not far at all [17:01] do you have a mission objective lou? [17:01] not really [17:01] recon [17:01] jafo? [17:01] ? [17:01] what's jafo [17:01] just another F* observer :) [17:02] friendly :) [17:02] heh [17:02] I'll be recording too, [17:02] I have to meet with an op tech guy at 6pm [17:02] cool, so there's our video [17:03] Ian won't be there, right? [17:04] nope [17:04] are the other Chicago 4.5 going to shun you? [17:04] :P [17:05] yes, we're shunning lou. [17:05] heh [17:05] I'm so stealth, they won't even see me... [17:05] don't forget to turn off the flashing red light on the cam :) [17:05] you better believe i'll be getting pictures of anyone with a camera, heh [17:05] that's kind of a giveaway [17:06] I'm hoping that it's close enough to a dock that I can hop onto one of the boats and hide [17:06] eheh [17:06] do you have any goth attire? [17:06] no [17:06] i am so jealous of you guys [17:06] I'm as preppy as they come [17:06] ooh, pastels != stealth [17:07] lol [17:07] well - he didnt know he was goign to be secret agent man [17:07] go shopping [17:08] knit cap, black cat suit, rope [17:08] he could just pretend he's some bumbling tourist [17:08] lost on the docks at night [17:08] well, he is now innit? [17:08] wear all your bling in plain sight [17:08] just in case [17:10] I wonder if Emile signed up to post SD card solves in case of slow retrievers [17:10] since Nisha wants you guys to have all the info for tonight [17:12] that's not exactly a tourist neighborhood [17:13] there's new solves johnny? [17:13] no, just the ones we got already [17:13] but they seem critical to the op [17:13] ohh, yah [17:13] so if we hadn't gotten them, here's emile [17:14] man, i can't keep all these criminal's totally straight [17:14] man! that is one cool trailer [17:14] yah, that trailer rocks [17:15] did she cut that guy? [17:15] i'm not sure [17:15] i haven't watched it too closely, trying not to get distracted and just focus on these theives [17:15] right, sorry [17:15] a LOT to remember here.. but i've got the printouts too [17:17] we need a grab if that video [17:17] which video? [17:17] I wonder if it's Ian in that chair [17:17] the trailer [17:18] * johnny5 suspects Nisha more and more [17:18] i was thinking it might be gunter [17:18] and that it might be from the next easter egg [17:18] which would be so cool [17:19] yeah, it looks like Roger actually [17:21] roger? [17:21] who's roger [17:21] one of the goons [17:21] ah [17:21] the white guy [17:22] hmm...I always thought "Art of the Heist" was the name the unforums gave the game [17:23] apparently not [17:23] but i thought that too [17:23] I don't remember the launch email [17:23] let me check [17:24] i wasn't around for launch... [17:24] me neither [17:24] found it in mid april [17:25] Additionally, we've just discovered that this ARG seems to be going by the name "The Art of the Heist," [17:25] so it was given to ARGn [17:25] Do you guys think the finale will be in the US or at the Uffizi? [17:25] us [17:25] probably US [17:26] when they arrest Nisha [17:26] :) [17:26] :) [17:26] I bet the final mission will be huuuuge [17:26] since they seem to be growing in complexity [17:27] i'm wonderinf if the finally won't be a few missions concurrently [17:27] what are the chances of there being a ComicCon event? [17:27] I was wondering if they would put together an "all-star" team of retrievers for the finale. [17:27] that would be cool matt [17:27] dunno celina [17:27] they had 2 things in CA alreadt [17:28] -t +y [17:28] i'd think they'd want to give other people the chance to participate rather than bringing back veterans [17:28] yeah, good point [17:28] two in new york also [17:28] three if you count the will star pickup [17:28] 3 if you count the initial breakng and auto show [17:28] break-in [17:28] I wouldn't think there would necessarily "veterans" that would participate in a San Diego/ComicCon event [17:28] me, for one :-) [17:28] I wasn't able to do the E3 event, or the Coachella event [17:29] celina - i meant that in response to matt more so than you [17:29] yeah, they wouldn't use any of the C5 for E3 [17:29] so I would guess they're trying to broaden the field [17:30] that's understandable [17:31] seen this?: http://forum.stolena3.com/index.php?showtopic=103&st=0&#entry737 [17:32] heh [17:32] hah, nice [17:32] i think there's a fair amount of people who've seen the banner ads or tv commercial and don't really understand what the game is about [17:33] my friends have seen the ads and ask me about it all the time [17:33] National Geographics, business week, etc. [17:33] a few friends have mentioned it to me [17:34] and i try explaining and getting them interested, but they shrug it off [17:34] if we end up with Treos after tonight's op, that's bound to get more interest.. heh [17:34] i just hope i don't get outed as having posted several times from work :) [17:35] well, gotta go cook [17:35] cause i'm going to have to explain where i got a free treo, heh [17:35] GL everyone! [17:35] thanks j5 [17:35] and grats to Krystyn for making it in :D [17:35] oh wow http://www.audiusa.com/shared/a3_microsite/html/a3_microsite_vin_content.html [17:36] how longs that been up? [17:38] seems like it just went up [17:39] theres bits of nisha there, she looks like shes torturing someone [17:41] Shower time [17:55] so has everyone left for their meetings? [17:57] well, the 4 are just meeting for dinner at 7 [17:58] I'd imagine they haven't left yet [17:58] I'll leave in about 20-30mins [17:58] I forgot the time difference [17:59] did you get to email Ian? [18:01] yes [18:01] no response, though [18:02] this is definitely going to be worth changing your plans for Lou [18:02] i can't wait [18:02] I know.. me too [18:02] this is the in-game moment that I've been waiting for since I started ARGing [18:03] I'm now a significant part of the game [18:03] because I would not be denied [18:03] :) [18:03] yes! you rock [18:04] so, 8PM PST? [18:05] um [18:05] what time is that in EST? [18:06] 11est [18:06] 8pm pst = 11est [18:06] Celina: it might start before then [18:06] well, the Chi4 is starting with Nisha at 10CST [18:06] but I start in 55 mins [18:06] :) [18:07] sweet! [18:07] but your stuff won't be online at all until it's over, right? [18:07] yeah [18:10] i leave in about an hour, still here... [18:11] lou - i know what you mean about feeling like a significant part of the game [18:11] my emails to nisha actually make it to her inbox now! :) [18:11] I've had brushes with other games...talking to Mike Royal in the AI game, talking to the Sleeping Princess in ILB... [18:12] heh [18:12] but man, I'm doing a LIVE SPY MISSION! [18:12] how very Michael Vaughn of me [18:12] :) [18:12] I was a reluctant participant I must say [18:12] but, it is worth doing [18:12] why's that? [18:12] i'm pretty excited to be involved [18:12] just shy I guess :) [18:12] just nervous i'll do something stupid on accident [18:13] yeah, I'm nervous that I'll forget to set my phone on vibrate and get busted to teh sound of Coldplay's "Clocks" [18:13] :) [18:13] heh [18:13] if i hear that song tonight i'm going to burst out laughing immediately [18:13] LOL [18:13] heh [18:13] I'll play it for you in the car ride back [18:13] :) [18:13] you guys won't screw up [18:13] you will be perfect [18:14] I think this is the best group yet :) [18:14] so expect to be challenged [18:14] i think so too :) [18:14] but i'm biased obviously.. ehh [18:14] they're certainly leaving a lot unknown in this one [18:14] it is going to help so much that you guys know each other well :) [18:14] i think we're probably more in the dark than the other retrievers have been [18:14] we didn't know what we were doing until we saw nisha either [18:15] know each other well? [18:15] all we knew was where to meet her [18:15] well, at all :) [18:15] no way are we as good as the Coachella 5 [18:15] we've been chatting a bit the past few days... but we'll be having dinner tonight so that'll help [18:15] and krystyn and varin and lou know each other [18:15] I mean, Jane! and HHM passing the fake card! [18:15] I've never met Varin [18:15] although, I'm excited to [18:15] i think that fake card was a bad idea really.. [18:16] I know,but you feel comfortable with each other, you know what i mean? [18:16] Had the PMs known up front it would have been cool [18:16] yeah [18:16] yah, i guess [18:16] matt - that's the trick [18:16] with the PMs not knowing about it, it was difficult to respond to [18:16] I will be interested to hear your report about a live event [18:17] rose - i definitely think we've got a good rapport... [18:17] when I was doing this, I realized how many things could go wrong [18:17] i'm sure we'll all be posting tonight [18:17] even though the PMs have it all wrapped up very tightly [18:17] does anyone need ground control? [18:17] I bet Nisha gets a midnight phone message with the Ian "I'm behind the Uffizi heist" loop [18:17] Coachella was a problem with the communication [18:17] SMS or cell or pics support [18:17] heh [18:17] di - i have roses contact info [18:17] hi dia :) [18:18] all i have is cell phone.. no camphone or sms [18:18] my phone does SMS [18:18] okay then [18:18] AIM LouMac13 [18:18] it forwards to my phone [18:18] get dias number anyway [18:18] it doesn't hurt [18:18] My phone has SMS & WAP mode [18:18] i think i can do email on my phone, but it's really cumbersome [18:18] I wasn't sure you would be here dia [18:18] me either [18:19] but you are, great! [18:19] yes i am [18:19] heh [18:21] Lou you might want to get moving pretty soon. [18:21] ok [18:21] yah lou, better to be a bit early than late [18:21] new e-mail from Ian: [18:21] nopers, you should hang back from nisha, she's a pro at this stuff and [18:21] its going to be tough enough having you there and her not knowing [18:21] in fact if she approaches you play dumb but don't give her any trouble, [18:21] she knows 20 ways to break a bone and i don't want your hospital bill on [18:21] my conscience [18:21] conscience, or credit card? [18:22] lol [18:22] I'm about to leave! [18:22] I'm leaving also [18:22] wish me luck [18:22] good luck! [18:23] my mom just called me and said I should stay home and not go to that "crazy scam thing" in case there are tornados [18:23] good luck lou!

[18:23] err lou [18:23] * celina63 ^5's the Chicago 5 [18:24] good luck, all [18:24] i was thinking we should call ourselves the Untouchables rather than the Chicago 5.. [18:24] Hee hee [18:24] Man, that was a good nap. [18:24] Now, I shower and get ready. [18:24] it's still got a chicago flavor to it, and makes us sound cool and not like we're wanna-be coachella fivers [18:24] heh, i've been dressed and ready for like an hour [18:25] i can't think of anything else [18:25] anyhow, i was talking about trying to explain this to my girlfriend [18:25] you need a better name [18:25] oops...didn't want to disconnect [18:25] did we get one for NYC [18:25] :) [18:25] ok, I'm really going [18:25] i'm like 'uhh saturday night between like 7pm and 1am i'm gonna go do something with some people i don't know, and i don't know what or where...'

[20:09] not live [20:09] I'm excited...Sorry. :-( [20:09] later [20:10] it's okay [20:10] i'm trying to scarf down dinner myself [20:10] Whaddaya havin'? [20:10] so i can concentrate on this [20:10] i'm having the brain of a child who asked me too many questions personally [20:11] thin spaghetti w/ fresh tomatoes, fresh basil, roasted garlic, olive oil, and salt & pepper [20:11] I had chicken, and mashed potatoes, and a bit of salad. [20:11] It was good. [20:11] sounds good [20:11] Rowan is a zombie. She eats kids brains. [20:12] protein [20:12] that's where she gets her brain power heh heh [20:12] you are what you eat you know ;) [20:12] I child's brain? That's kind of gross... ;-) [20:13] si i guess i'm long and stringy tonite [20:14] we have a guest [20:14] hi phaedra [20:14] * Rowan changes topic to 'Tonight: Chicago (~ 10pm CDT) | The Trail Needs Help. Interested? argjamesi@gmail | Quick Start Guide: http://soogees.com/stuff/heist/ | Trail: http://heist.smirkbox.com' [20:14] Hi Diandra! [20:14] Hi, Phaedra! [20:14] Just popping in to find out if anyone knew if/how krystyn's thing was going. [20:14] are you slummin' with the heisters tonite? [20:14] Hi, Tomtom! [20:14] yo! Ph! [20:14] she should be at dinner now [20:14] Oh, okay. [20:14] Did she get her forms? [20:15] yes...someone's supposed to call me from the restaurant [20:15] Hiya, Ariock! How's it going. [20:15] * Rowan changes topic to 'Tonight: Chicago (~ 10pm CDT) | Todd's Recap: http://www.stolena3.com | Quick Start Guide: http://soogees.com/stuff/heist/ | Trail: http://heist.smirkbox.com' [20:15] Oh good. Last time we talked last night, she *still* hadn't gotten the release forms and was pretty worried about it. [20:15] it's all good [20:15] Good. :-) [20:16] aren't you in the windy city? [20:16] Ariock, you are playing this? [20:16] giddy with excitement for krystyn and feverish with sickness for some kinda stupid illness. [20:16] Me, Diandra? No, I'm in Milwaukee. [20:16] close [20:16] did you think about applying? [20:16] I bounce back and forth between here, Madison, and Chicago, though. [20:16] I am watching more than playing [20:16] I did, but I had to stay home and babysit my 19-year-old sister this weekend because my *parents* are in Chicago. [20:16] the puzzles are more than I can handle really. [20:17] Ah. [20:17] and your sister can't babysit herself? [20:17] 19 yr old needs a babysitter? [20:17] I noticed that Jane and Kiyash were playing. That's awesome! [20:17] Maybe Phae meant 10? [20:17] Unfortunately, no, she can't take care of herself. Long story. [20:17] yes, they are playing [20:17] sorry to hear that [20:17] : ( [20:17] Basically, we can't trust that she'll eat or take care of herself if she's alone. [20:18] awww how sad [20:18] Yeah. She has chronic pain problems, but mentally and emotionally she was fine.... [20:18] 19 is supposed to be full of fun and independence [20:18] ...until they put her on antidepressants for chronic pain management. [20:18] So now, a formerly healthy teenager has panic attacks and is clinically depressed. [20:19] that can happen to anyone [20:19] Yeah. She's doing better now that my parents took her off the meds. [20:19] but sad when it's so early in life [20:20] Yeah, but it freaks me out -- the *antidepressants* as far as we can tell, *made* her depressed. [20:20] i've been hearing about stuff like that [20:20] I never understood that. [20:20] * Phaedra shakes head. [20:20] It's just bizarre. [20:20] But like I said, she's doing better now. We think she's pretty much through it. [20:20] I think it's the fact that people know that they NEED antidepressants that make them more depressed. [20:21] that's good [20:21] -nodnod- [20:21] But we're not sure enough to leave her alone for a weekend. [20:21] So, here I am babysitting. [20:21] Tra la la [20:21] hopefully she'll start showing interest in things she used to enjoy [20:21] Yeah. She is starting to. [20:21] that's the best sign of recovery : ) [20:22] :-) [20:22] good evening [20:22] hi x! [20:22] HI BOMB! [20:22] * tomtom hugs da bomb [20:22] hi diandra, tomtom [20:22] Hi, xnbomb! [20:22] hey phaedra, nice to see you here [20:22] Incidentally, I cannot find the unsigned DVD I had -- but now that weephun is back from Brazil, he can send you one. [20:22] Sorry. [20:22] I thought I had one left [20:23] no problem [20:23] should I get in touch with him, or is it all taken care of? [20:23] I'll PM him. [20:23] That's generally how we've been doing it [20:23] thanks very much [20:23] Although I'm sure he would know that you are official. :) [20:23] And not some opportunistic halo fanboy. ;-) [20:24] splendid [20:25] Not that the opportunistic halo fanboys have been around for a while. [20:25] But I did accidentally send one of them a DVD. [20:25] Le sigh. TOTAL blonde moment. [20:26] oh well ... perhaps some good will come of it ... can one be converted from fanboyness by superior media? [20:26] I hope so, xnbomb. Then again, I think of those boys that showed up at the Chicago Live event, and upon discovering that the DVDs had nothing to do with Halo, *broke* them in disappointment [20:27] the guy I sent a lanyard to, I never heard from again [20:27] Which guy was that, Ariock? [20:27] that is a disturbing memory [20:27] some kid in england [20:27] Ah. [20:27] Figures. [20:27] So how is Heist going? [20:28] jotty [20:28] I think really well ... the story is fun, puzzles challenging, and the live interaction is something else [20:28] The live interaction stuff is *really* intriguing. [20:29] sure is [20:29] its gutsy as heck, and I think they are getting better at it each time [20:29] that's why we're all home on a saturday night [20:29] Good. [20:29] Ph: have you been to lastresortretrieval.com ? [20:29] Yes -- beautiful site. [20:30] did you see krystyns photo? [20:30] I dunno, I'm glad to see another corporate game that's creative. [20:30] Not yet, Ariock. [20:30] log in a nisha [20:30] okay [20:30] is there a password? [20:30] the email is Re: Chicago Mission [20:31] just click in the box [20:31] it somehow got broken ... mysteriously ;-) [20:31] there will be an error, and you can pick who you want to log in as [20:31] (not the password box) [20:32] YAY!!!! [20:32] Ed Debevic's!!! [20:32] with terpy and chickie [20:32] YES! [20:32] Awww. [20:32] that is soooo cool [20:32] Yay for Krystyn. [20:32] She is teh r0x0r. [20:32] Or something. [20:32] Heh. [20:33] and tonight she gets to interrogate a art thief sleazebag :-) [20:33] +n [20:33] Last night I was *completely* high on some painkillers my doctor recently prescribed for my back, and lo and behold, I could do l33tspeak. [20:33] Today, sans drugs, I cannot. [20:34] Well, xnbomb, that's why I'm hanging around in here, hoping there will be reports about how it goes. [20:34] well, if things run true to form, we should have some sort of media (probably audio) on a slight time delay [20:34] Ah. [20:34] Excellent. [20:35] where do you listen to it though? [20:36] usually as files posted on nisha's iannet ... recorded phone conversations usually, but it could appear in some other directory depending on how it gets described [20:36] ah [20:37] the Treos have been pretty ubiquitous in the retrievals, and they come in handy for just this sort of thing [20:37] * xnbomb hopes cell coverage is good by the South River and the overpass doesn't get in the way [20:37] gonna be a while though [20:38] if you're in, i'll go to my other computer for a minute so you can find me [20:38] disregard [20:38] brb [20:38] yeah, Gunter is the crawl out from under a rock in the dead of night type [21:14] drjinx [21:14] Yes?

[22:29] http://forum.stolena3.com/index.php?showtopic=109 [22:30] nothing insightful, going under the pretense of developing the game more [22:31] * johnny5 checks for cube clues [22:32] the freak might manifest itself by nisha kicking virgil in the groin [22:32] oh wait - he was talkin gabout the game [22:32] still... [22:32] does it still sound like virgil? [22:33] no [22:33] hard to say. He did put the smack on poor sphinx there. [22:33] I know how that feels :) [22:35] Lou called. Just read that to him [22:35] about the freak thing [22:35] uh oh [22:35] foreshadowing?

[22:37] sure [22:37] lol [22:37] wouldnt that blow our little minds if it was [22:37] oh man, that would kill [22:38] and we'd have to kill lou for knowing :) [22:38] i was just gonna say that :) [22:38] "sure lou, 'conference in chicago' uh huh" [22:38] heh [22:39] * Rowan changes topic to 'Tonight: Chicago (~ 10:30pm CDT - rain delay) | Todd's Recap: http://www.stolena3.com | Quick Start Guide: http://soogees.com/stuff/heist/ | Trail: http://heist.smirkbox.com' [22:39] ok - i'm off [22:39] ciao [22:39] bye [22:42] this sucks [22:42] 'sup matt?

[23:19] and and enigma machine on a chain around my neck [23:20] * johnny5 refrains from the obvious "unoccupied" joke [23:20] hey unoccupied.... [23:20] hey [23:20] ...you new? [23:20] turk 182 [23:21] poor lou was so bored waiting [23:21] ... um... sort of. I was around for the Beast. I lurk the Heist sometimes [23:21] ah right [23:21] he even took a pic of his beer [23:21] aww [23:21] hehe [23:21] that's what he told me [23:21] i doubt it will be posted [23:21] I was kinda curious what was up with the Chicago folks [23:21] ....im begining to think the beast is becoming like woodstock...everyone says they we're there [23:22] ....i was at woodstock actualy [23:22] * unoccupied laughs [23:22] :P [23:22] it was a big game [23:22] hahaha [23:22] so, Emile provides us a ray of light which illuminates Virgil's twisted mind [23:22] pull up a chair, unoccupied, and set a spell. [23:22] sphinx likes the "country" [23:22] Tx, missohinx, don't mind if I do. [23:22] * White_Knight recomends the spell that turns people into toads....its classic [23:23] at least lou got a beer [23:23] ...waits for Ian to post the pic of beer [23:23] damnit, am I the only person who wasn't around for the Beast? [23:23] Yes. [23:24] well they should be at the mission [23:24] i wasn't [23:24] I'm trying to figure out what we could possibly ask Emile that would get anything that is useful to us [23:24] I had just intended to capture while I worked on something else, but... [23:24] i came in during the ceaser times [23:24] textual was my presonal god [23:24] ... let me ask, how do you guys rate this game relative to the beast? [23:24] Ask emile about the future? as in the_future [23:24] xnbomb, he gave us a profile of him, of sorts [23:24] .5 beast? .7 beasts? [23:25] most importantly, he emphasize's Virgil's constant wishes to be the best [23:25] yeah, he did tell us a few things [23:25] 666 beasts [23:25] lol [23:25] lol! [23:25] this is the best game i've watched so far [23:25] pitty its not coming my way :~( [23:25] didnt play unocc, I came in for ILB [23:25] Um, this is different. I can't really compare. It's one of the best I've seen. [23:25] The reason I ask is because of the stuff that's come and gone without explaination. [23:25] as far as interaction though, this game is tops [23:26] Stuff come and gone? [23:26] we have a very small player base in comparison [23:26] Agree re: interaction. [23:26] we really don't have the resources to analyze everything [23:26] yeah this is a GOOD interaction game....although i like project mu for story so far....realy gripped me [23:26] Come and gone: worry was important, then disappeared [23:26] yes [23:26] Less web sites, less solving. But they've done some good puzzles. [23:26] The goons were important, then disappeared [23:26] well ... it ain't over til the fat lady ...you know [23:27] !slap xnbomb [23:27] although project MU was my first game so im biased [23:27] grand finale [23:27] grande illusion? [23:27] touche' [23:27] I'll have to look into project mu. /me like stories. [23:28] ILB had a good story [23:28] audio drama [23:28] nicely done [23:28] anyone know when the "duke nuke em forever" arg is coming out? [23:28] :) [23:28] july 22-24 [23:28] If you haven't gone through ILB, you should. Sean Stewart. [23:28] et. al. [23:28] I have just the thing for you unoccupied: http://www.metaurchins.org/book/page1.htm [23:28] Right after the game releases, I think [23:28] Thanks, I'll take a look, xnbomb [23:28] my pleasure [23:29] lets tes how many played "Project MU": STOL [23:29] I'll also look at ILB's missphinx. I had to miss that one, unfortunately [23:29] * xnbomb smirks, but thinks its a very short list amongst the 32 here ... there are some people who were involved in that game in other ways though [23:30] I lurked. [23:30] its so bloody ironic that I prefer the ARGs that enter the physical world. The only participation I have in live events is completely vicarious [23:30] yeah same [23:31] we need an ARG run by peter jackson [23:31] :) [23:31] a king kong arg? [23:31] yeah man [23:31] would be sweet [23:31] lets register fearthemonkey.com [23:31] ...run of course in NZ [23:32] lets petition! [23:32] not that a petition will do anything... [23:33] desperate housewives ARG, there you go. [23:33] hmmm i wonder if for the ARGfest....i can organise for the plane to crash [23:33] ...."LOST" arg [23:34] CSI arg [23:34] suuuure [23:34] no furries [23:34] or gilligins island ARG [23:34] hm... actually, that's be pretty sweet [23:34] or diapers [23:34] CSI [23:34] Desperate housewives! Interactive would be great for that one! [23:34] i sent SMS to see if they were on site just before 10:30 no reply [23:34] ok, ty dia [23:34] cell phone jammer? [23:34] no, probably busy [23:34] I'm looknig for current weather in chicago [23:35] they're probably in briefing [23:35] last i spoke to Lou, he said it had stopped [23:35] yay. [23:35] and was clearing [23:36] I'm looking at the radar now ... there is a lot more rain to the west, but I think they have a few hours before that arrives [23:36] any iannet updates?

[23:41] be kinda obvious if he used it ... he is totally skulking around in the dark [23:42] good for him [23:42] makes me wish he'd brought a pro cam though [23:42] it takes some getting used to. have to keep your hand totally still [23:42] most people flinch [23:42] Pretty cool the way they included Lou. They can't have planned for that.

[00:20] is it being filmed? [00:20] I'm sure of it [00:20] God bless Lou. [00:21] I meant, give her the Treo! Life's short enough! [00:21] not the filmed part [00:21] Lou your bigger than she is....and she probably has a glass jaw... [00:21] Is there anyone here we don't know? [00:21] keep the treo and deck her [00:21] phae: i'm pretty sure there's a lurker in here constantly [00:21] :P [00:21] argonauts are anonymous [00:21] (Well, if you are here, PM(s), bravi!) [00:21] you guys all sound like you're watching it happen [00:21] earlier someone called the cops on Lou [00:21] for loitering [00:21] steve is kinda suspicious with that exclamation point.... [00:21] no way! [00:21] :o [00:21] at the marina [00:22] he's shifty looking [00:22] damn! brb [00:22] :p [00:22] ya - steve never does anything with this game [00:22] (its not the ! people...i know them) [00:22] it must be him [00:22] hey - those ! have been pms in the past [00:22] yeah...but....hey!

[00:23] (And the paranoia sets in) [00:23] i did get a ferret email from nisha [00:23] it wasn't published tho [00:23] sweet [00:23] i told lou to get pics of the porta john before he changed locations [00:23] ha [00:24] you and your pottie obsession [00:24] so that totally goes to show that someone lurks in here ;) (or in uf at least) [00:24] ;) [00:24] they are in what he described as a "Mexican Social Club" at the marina [00:24] * White_Knight stiffles a laugh [00:24] so where did Lou end up in all that ... he still has the treo (and use of his arms)? [00:25] he played dumb [00:25] said it was a social club and he was trying to be social [00:26] man, he and krystyn must have been on the verge of exploding [00:26] and he didn't know what she was talking about [00:26] then he walked away and hid in the shithouse [00:26] : ) [00:26] hahaha [00:27] probably for good reason [00:27] if ya know what i mean [00:27] he deserves some good swag for this [00:27] hmm ... Ian may not want that Treo back [00:28] that must be some social club. with its own portapotty [00:28] hmmm i got half an hour [00:28] he seems to think none of this was planned with the marina or social club [00:29] the way he was questioned and then the cops called [00:29] how did he get out of that one? [00:29] they came to check out the area he was in, but he saw them coming, so he walked away [00:29] no one would search a portapotty right? [00:29] is there a concise place I can read about what tonight's objective is? [00:29] ah, the lovely Barge Inn Restaurant: http://www.sbmarina.com/bargeinn.php [00:29] Dia, is he talking to you, or text message?

[00:58] you know what would be cool if we didn't hear from them till tomorrow [00:59] btw - i do have to say that the actor is doing a really convinign job of sounding like he's dying a slow icky death [00:59] oh jeebus [00:59] Hellion: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=2301+S+Union+Ave,+Chicago,+IL+60616&ll [00:59] that's how Gunter took ill [00:59] thanks... [00:59] man overboard [00:59] huh? [00:59] any iannet updates? [00:59] did someone go over [00:59] so, northeast or southwest? [01:00] someone ask Matt which way the boat went [01:00] I haven't seen any updates [01:00] no dia [01:00] nothing at ians [01:00] no WK...just joking about the possibility [01:00] oh right [01:00] er, Lou... man its late [01:00] checked both Nisha and Ian's pages... nothing new [01:00] * Diandra wills her phone to ring [01:00] thanks [01:01] ah Gilmore girls is on..... [01:01] ...huh [01:01] they probably wont be able to make a call until they hit land [01:01] ...no its...not... [01:01] well, if we can find out which way the boat went (left or right), we'll know if they went NE or SW... then we can use google maps to look for viable docking ares... assuming they dock [01:01] i guess i can stay [01:01] unless the boat is big enuf for them to hide somewhere for a minute [01:01] wk...s....t..... [01:01] and i even mentioned to lou when he said that he felt it wasn't planned with the social club or the marina that maybe it was supposed to be on a boat but it rained [01:01] you know the rest :) [01:02] ah, maybe [01:02] makes sense [01:02] he thought i was nuts [01:02] lol [01:02] but whatever [01:02] lol [01:02] would explain the rain delay though [01:02] ...oh so which way you going? [01:02] we know you're nuts [01:02] hindsight is...you know [01:02] yep [01:02] 20/19 (i have bad vision) [01:03] (and bad memory) [01:03] wouldn't 20/19 be good vision? [01:03] Dia, when you get in touch with Lou, please ask him which way the boat went... it could potentially be very useful to know [01:03] greeting from the crew of the ss gunter [01:03] hopefully it's just the photo upload that's broken, and not ian's entire mail system [01:03] justin was the name of the boat [01:03] justin thyme? [01:03] ....sit right back and you'll hear a tale... [01:03] gunter took them 1.5 miles up the river [01:03] :P [01:03] * johnny5 ducks from addle [01:04] hahaha, clever ... gunter told Nisha she'd meet his friend Justin [01:04] this from matt? [01:04] he mentioned seattle several times [01:04] and accused Nisha of a double cross [01:04] ah, see [01:04] he rambled about his mother [01:04] I.. I hate you. [01:04] Gunter cried at the end [01:04] double cross? [01:04] awww [01:04] aww [01:04] double cross!?! [01:04] awww [01:04] seee? [01:04] and what happened in seattle? [01:05] double cross?!? Seattle?? [01:05] methinks the bacteria has reached Gunter's brain [01:05] either we missed something very very major, or Nisha is very good at keeping secrets [01:05] http://iannet.lastresortretrieval.com/ian/secret/mailinbox/0147.html [01:05] or Nisha's playing Gunter, Ian, Virgil, AND Emile [01:05] hellion - if you read her journal, you'll know she's capable of turning to the darkside [01:06] they took your name out dia [01:06] so, all good [01:06] okay [01:06] but they left the portapotty in :) [01:06] very loud there [01:06] (btw - how cool is it that they got to meet gunter!) [01:06] matt will be home in 15 mins [01:06] they done [01:06] ? [01:06] he said he'd write something up and post it [01:06] they shoulda brought Gunter some chicken soup for his cough [01:06] wonderful [01:06] yes...reunited with lou [01:06] woo [01:06] yay! [01:07] YAY! [01:07] all i could hear on the phone with matt was lou telling his shitty story in the background [01:07] rofl [01:07] hahaha [01:07] : ) [01:07] very loud [01:07] lots of laughter [01:07] plot twiiiiist [01:07] i dont get it... [01:07] :P [01:07] * johnny5 smacks WK with Ian's used underwear [01:07] * Rowan changes topic to 'Tonight: Mission Over - Waiting for Reports (that aren't from a toilet) | Todd's Recap: http://www.stolena3.com | Quick Start Guide: http://soogees.com/stuff/heist/ | Trail: http://heist.smirkbox.com' [01:08] OH....right i get it :P [01:08] so, Seattle site:lastresortretrieval.com comes up blank. [01:08] in google that is. [01:08] where was mondercan? [01:09] i don't know any more than that he mentioned seattle several times [01:09] when i asked what it was about, matt said he'd write it up [01:09] eurpoe [01:09] Europe, I think [01:09] ok, ty row [01:09] and xn [01:09] we want the wiretap! [01:10] ya - seattle is totally new [01:10] interesting to see if Nisha will provide the data if it casts her relationship with Gunter in a new light [01:10] he cried...did nisha have his nuts in a vice or what? [01:10] hm. shoulda asked the retrievers to hijack the boat and force Nisha to come clean [01:10] oh...and the crew of the boat [01:11] had their faces painted white...like mimes! [01:11] hahahah [01:11] what??? [01:11] oooh [01:11] you're kidding [01:11] very spooky [01:11] whoooooooot [01:11] no [01:11] maybe they're french [01:11] true [01:11] goths [01:11] mimes....maybe for the cube! [01:11] did they get pics? [01:11] nothing is scarier than mimes [01:11] it's not the day of the dead is it? [01:11] Amen, Addlepated. [01:11] i'm sure it was so they wouldn't be ID'd in pics [01:11] when is that? [01:11] but freaky [01:11] November 1, j5 [01:11] fun was had by all [01:12] ty sphinx [01:12] They say how many crew there were? [01:12] maybe Gunter though Nisha had a mime issue [01:12] trying to get her to "freak" [01:12] well - who doesnt have a mime issue? [01:12] no. Gunter is really Dieter from SNL - hence mimes [01:12] no idea of crew number [01:12] i only get fragments [01:12] Rowan, about Nisha "turning to the darkside"... in what way? I mean, i know she threatens to hurt people and such, but helping in an art heist? Completely unethical and immoral. Not to mention it would be a complete job turnaround. [01:13] touch my monkey [01:13] but it's better than nothing : ) [01:13] hellion - read her early journal entries [01:13] hmmm wonder where the next stop is [01:13] * johnny5 ^5 Rowan [01:13] 'k [01:13] she asks herself that very question - would she ever start stealign stuff just to return it [01:13] * White_Knight crosses his fingers [01:13] come on, new zealand [01:13] we don't know what she's capable of ... and she gives very little away [01:14] im sure i can scrape up a team of 5 retreivers [01:14] her early journal entires are pretty dark at times [01:14] they are going to come into chat as they get home [01:14] hey, jamesi got a mission, check with him for pointers [01:14] lou, too [01:14] cool [01:15] so stick around [01:16] diandra, you said 4 earlier ... was Virgil's ghoul not with them? [01:16] apparently lou said Virgil's boy met them at the car at the beginning, but never came into the retaurant [01:16] interesting, thanks [01:16] he was there for tech stuff [01:16] virgil's boy? [01:17] not for the mission [01:17] did i miss something? [01:17] ah, ok [01:17] Virgil recommended the bald dude [01:17] remember? [01:17] yes, row. the 5th retriever [01:17] ahh - ok ya [01:17] He had a pic in nisha's mail [01:17] dave atell's twin brother [01:17] but he wasn't on the mission [01:17] i remember now [01:17] just at the start [01:18] * johnny5 wonders how long this game will go [01:18] as long as it takes for them to come to Philly [01:19] Crap.

Awesome! [01:39] like, rain of biblical proportions [01:40] 847: lou is soaked through [01:40] no wonder they escaped via ark [01:40] aww [01:40] oh yes, there was definitely the torrential downpour [01:40] you were outside? [01:40] 9pm: call from willie saying that the meet has been pushed back an hour [01:41] aside: from 6:20 (when willie left the first time) to 815, I putzed around the social club, having dinner, drinking sodas [01:41] ok, back to the story, 9:10: I start calling everyone in my phone [01:41] my mom, my brother, friends back home, Dia, krystyn [01:42] krystyn tells me that hte meet is scheduled for 10:30 [01:42] I wait for another hour, but I went to the bar this time [01:42] Corona for me!

[01:43] aww [01:43] will you post them on UF? [01:43] the other was a photo of the corona bottle and the caption "Mmmm...beer!" [01:43] I don't have the phone anymore, I had to return it [01:43] right [01:43] that's how I lost Nisha pix :) [01:44] actually, I left it with the concierge, and Willie is supposed to come pick it up [01:44] did you tell Willie where it had been :-) [01:44] hahaha [01:44] hah [01:44] should've brought an SD and dumped the media off onto SD before giving the treo back [01:44] yeah [01:44] anyway... [01:44] hindsight [01:44] * Lou|Chicago continues [01:44] 'zactly [01:44] anyways [01:44] I'm milling around trying to get shots of Nisha and crew, ducking behind boats and such [01:45] your email is up: http://iannet.lastresortretrieval.com/ian/secret/mailinbox/0148.html [01:45] meanwhile, I've been getting dirty looks from the guys at the mexican social club for at least an hour now [01:45] once nisha gets there, the tension rises... [01:45] ....could have been worse....you could have been waiting outside a gay bar [01:45] Got K on the line :) [01:46] the socialites were definitely, like, "who's the gringa and her crew?? and what's with the chubby kid who's been here since 6pm?" [01:46] gay bar probably wouldn't have called the cops. [01:46] oh right, I forgot about that part [01:46] lol [01:46] rofl lou [01:46] you forgot the cops! [01:46] hah [01:46] She's telling me about her approaching you, Lou [01:46] cops? [01:46] jebus [01:46] i remember my last run in with the cops...not something you forget [01:46] * Elec boggles at forgetting about police involvement [01:47] around 10:15, a guy from the boatyard comes up to me and says "are you waiting for someone" [01:47] * Matt|Heist is now known as Mattazuma [01:47] Matt! [01:47] aloha! [01:47] I was towards the back where they kept the boats and said "yeah, I'm waiting for a friend" [01:48] lou is telling us his story [01:48] u r next [01:48] at least they we'rent in riot gear stamping and saying "HUH!" alot thats kinda freaky [01:48] no prob [01:48] just as the other four come down the street, a cop comes from the opposite direction, and I high-tail it back to the bar area while the cop goes walking around the back area where the guy asked me [01:48] that when I called Willie and was all, "Dude WTF!?! [01:49] "what's with the cops" [01:49] his surprise told me it wasn't in-game [01:49] so I hung out back by the club until Nisha got there [01:49] when I started hiding in plain sight [01:50] the coup de tat was when i stuck my arm around the corner of one of the buildings to get a shot of Nisha and the crew and she totally bagged me [01:50] lol [01:50] doh [01:50] her and krystyn came over and we had a little tete a tete [01:50] I played dumb, she told me to get the hell out of there [01:50] hehehe [01:50] I went to the far side of the social club [01:51] I've been trying to imagine the looks on your and Krystyn's faces [01:51] then I saw her get up, and start walking out towards the entrance, but she could have been coming for me, so that's when I ran and jumped in the port-o-potty [01:51] such dedication to the mission [01:51] in hindsight, I was avoiding a stunning beautiful woman by hiding in a portable shithouse....definitely not one of my finer moments [01:52] lmao [01:52] rofl [01:52] That is so a TOOC [01:52] indeed [01:52] * Hellion2 guffaws [01:52] * Rowan is *crying* [01:52] (I've got lots of captions for the photo of the portopotty that didn't get through due to server issues) [01:52] * Kha0S is falling asleep at the wheel here ... keep the story coming! [01:52] TIIC it's great [01:52] -I [01:52] "Ian, I'm hiding in POJ. Duty calls. ANd so does the doody" [01:52] well, this may be a good idea when a stunningly woman is theoretically capable of disembowling you and perhaps is considering doing so [01:53] (has lou seen the trailer with her and the knife yet?) [01:53] "Ian, I think I'm up shit's creek without a paddle. I lost the team, and I'm hiding in a POJ" [01:53] beeep [01:53] (beep, hehehe) [01:53] anyway, when I got out of the POJ, I looked and they were gone. [01:53] that's on the site lou :) [01:53] aww [01:53] I called Dia all frantic [01:54] "I blew it, I can't believe this" [01:54] when i got the SMS about them being on a boat [01:54] dia was contacted by krystyn [01:54] and relayed the info back [01:54] the best part of the night, though [01:54] i thought that was matt [01:54] just as I step out of the POJ to call a cab [01:54] It was me [01:54] Nisha and the freakin team pulls up, and I'm caught like a dear in the headlights [01:54] bwhahah [01:54] literally [01:54] hahaha [01:55] the headlights were RIGHT ON ME [01:55] rofl [01:55] hahha [01:55] hahaha [01:55] lol [01:55] how bad is my luck [01:55] urgh, bet that was fun :) [01:55] i woulda zipped up [01:55] "IT WAS A BIG POO!"

[01:56] thanks...kick a man while he's down [01:56] should've played drunk [01:56] I spent 6 friggin hours at this mexican social club [01:56] Did you remember to take off the nametag that said "SPY"?

[02:00] Not a night you'll soon forget, I'd be willing to wager [02:00] good meeting you Lou [02:00] and thanks for the laughs...during and after the mission [02:01] we are quite anxious to know what Gunter said [02:01] ok - back to the story - its 10 and you have time to burn.. [02:01] * johnny5 holds his hands up [02:01] proceed matt [02:02] K's two minutes from home, and well be here shortly. [02:02] so Krystyn called lou to say hi [02:02] and like two minutes later we get a call saying the police were coming & we should hide [02:03] so we get back in the car and try to look like there isn't anyone in the car. [02:03] The police car hung around for something like 10 minutes at the end of the block. [02:04] Well, we saw Nisha's car pull in at about 10:20 & drove down to the marina [02:05] Nisha looked very anctious [02:05] 5 minutes later the tech guy shows up [02:06] It turns out the jacket sizes weren't for swag. We had to wear jackets with video cameras in them [02:06] oh yay! [02:06] jackpot [02:06] * xnbomb 's mind boggles [02:06] woo fuckin hooo [02:06] wow [02:06] video camera...jackets? [02:06] did you get to keep them? [02:06] No we had to give the jackets back [02:07] :( [02:07] that should be good [02:07] can't have matt running around the beach in a jacket all the time [02:07] there were remote cameras installed in the fronts of the coats. [02:07] that ... kicks ... ass [02:07] ...ok your joking right? [02:07] totally [02:07] Once that got done we went over to Lou's cantina [02:08] hope you got good mime footage [02:08] worry is back!!! [02:08] With four people recording there should be some good stuff. [02:08] http://iannet.lastresortretrieval.com/ian/secret/mailinbox/0149.html [02:08] uh oh [02:08] well, you just made the new Blair Witch [02:08] with video [02:08] this game just like jumped a million levels [02:08] :o [02:08] That's the boat [02:08] funny... didn't someone just mention like 3 hours ago that worry served his purpose, then dissapeared? [02:09] lol [02:09] maybe worry is virgils tech guy [02:09] brb [02:09] someone else also implied that he was probably closer than many thought [02:09] There's us [02:09] * Rowan waits for it to load [02:09] wow [02:09] the boats name... Justin E [02:10] he's following them [02:10] yeah, Gunter said we were going to meet Justin [02:11] Best part of the whole night: [02:11] After gunter takes us a mile or so up the river, he gets really upset. [02:12] Doesn't like people talking about his mother [02:12] aww [02:12] poor baby.... [02:12] so he pulls up to a dock at a condo development & throws us off. [02:13] While Nisha and Gunter were arguing this semi-drunk redneck guy starts trying to talk to us. [02:13] lol [02:14] It turns out the boat that they rented was from a boat towing company & this guys boat had broken down & he wanted to call the company to get a tow [02:14] lol [02:14] The guys captaining the boat weren't allowed to say anything so this guy got real frustrated. [02:15] It was really funny [02:15] so - getting back to the story - you were heading towards the Cantina... [02:15] :) [02:15] sorry [02:15] s'ok [02:15] i'm just getting tired is all :) [02:15] we went and sat down at a table and Nisha almost immediately saw Lou [02:15] shit [02:16] I got the hellion disease [02:16] So she went with Krystyn to yell at Lou [02:16] but you already heard about that [02:16] hehe [02:16] we waited around for around 15 minutes [02:16] HI\ [02:17] I went through scrollback really quickly. [02:17] then this boat came from around the bend [02:17] hey there krystyn [02:17] Heya! [02:17] Hey krystyn [02:17] What a weird freaking night. [02:17] have fun? [02:17] Please speak up whenever you want [02:17] hi krystyn [02:17] Lou was trying to take a photo of us from around the corner [02:17] I am so jealous right now, krystyn. [02:17] Did Lou look scared? [02:18] and Nisha totally caught him [02:18] did you see him the whole time? [02:18] OMG he was so deer in the headlights, and so like I DO NOT KNOW KRYSTYN [02:18] lol [02:18] Oh, so she is at the table [02:18] heh [02:18] and she gets up [02:18] and she looks pissed [02:18] and says she's gonna check out this guy [02:19] and I say, "Do you want someone to come with?" [02:19] and she thinks for a second, says yeah, and then she tells me to come with [02:19] so we go [02:19] and I give varin a look [02:19] like, OMG IT IS LOU [02:19] *gets off phone with Jinxie* [02:19] and we walk over there [02:19] and Lou's all lookin' guilty [02:19] and she gets all sass [02:20] and she's all, "Can I HELP you???" [02:20] and we have this hilarious confrontation [02:20] hahaha [02:20] rofl [02:20] and I am wearing this hot, badly-fitting white vinyl jacket [02:20] with a camera wired to the lapel [02:20] joy [02:20] and a belt holding the camera around my waist [02:20] so I keep turning and posing like a Charlie's Angel [02:20] so I can get him on camera [02:20] hahahaha [02:20] and she's all in his face [02:21] * xnbomb is *so* looking forward to that footage [02:21] and he's all trying to play innocent [02:21] and I could NOT look at him at first [02:21] because I was sort of giddy [02:21] and we were totally HUM DE HUM we do not know each other AT ALL NO NO [02:21] hi Gatekeeper [02:21] yeah, unless I'm actually playing poker, I have a really bad poker face [02:21] and then she did a talk to the hand kind of goodbye, after trying to get the Treo from him, and we went back and sat down [02:22] and so then the others asked Nisha what this guy looked like [02:22] * Elec thinks Lou really got the bad end of tonight's excitement [02:22] * Lou|Chicago goes to shower...brb [02:22] lol [02:22] hi all [02:22] and she said, baseball cap, turned backwards [02:22] YAY GATE [02:22] olive complected, etc. [02:22] sorry i didn't call Diandra.. [02:22] and I said, "And kinda cute, too!" [02:22] hahah [02:22] and everyone sort of twitched [02:22] s'ok [02:22] Yeah, Dia, there was really no way [02:22] we were on this freaking BOAT [02:22] by the time i had a chance to call it was like 1am, i wasn't sure if i'd be waking you (or someone else) up [02:23] and it was just sort of tense [02:23] not a problem [02:23] just trying to help poor lou [02:23] it was very close quarters [02:23] haha, when krystyn said 'kinda cute' i said 'yah, that doesn't really help me...' [02:23] He might've thrown cough syrup at us [02:23] you can imagine what he went thru [02:23] heh [02:23] HEH HEH [02:23] yah, lou said he was out there for like 7 hours [02:23] you should see the chat logs [02:23] and he missed the boat! [02:23] I sort of skimmed them [02:23] I think I still smell like boat exhaust, and it's gross [02:23] I logged some, but got disconnected at some point ;( [02:23] and I feel grimy from that hot jacket [02:24] i'll be posting a log of tonights events later [02:24] so, we're not really sure we got much new info [02:24] I have the full log, GateKeeper, and so does Rowan! [02:24] Yeah [02:24] ok - so you and nisha got back to the table ... [02:24] We were kinda befuddled after [02:24] gunter mentioned Seattle a few times... one of the forgers is their apparently [02:24] "Did we accomplish anything?" [02:24] OK, so yeah, we sat down [02:24] and then GateKeeper did a sweep [02:24] and apparently walked right by Lou [02:24] but they didn't talk [02:25] was lou in the toilet yet? [02:25] he was about to go, yeah [02:25] cos then I think Nisha got up again? [02:25] And we were sitting and talking [02:25] whoah, worry has video? [02:25] what made her get up? [02:25] and she reiterated that Gunter totally hates her guts [02:25] he was walking toward the porta potty [02:25] yes gate [02:25] and we sort of congratulated her on the whole talking to his mom thing [02:25] i said 'yah, he was going toward the port-john, but i've already seen him once' [02:25] and nisha made a comment about his bladder being small [02:25] lol [02:25] Hee hee [02:26] hahaha [02:26] lol [02:26] poor lou! [02:26] and then she noticed headlights [02:26] though i was the one with the small bladder, as everyone else will attest [02:26] and it was some truck [02:26] she was constantly looking around [02:26] and doing double takes [02:26] Well, since you guys are here to tell the story, I'm going to bed. [02:26] very very suspicious of everything [02:26] "freaking"? [02:26] Night night, matt! [02:26] well, worry has video of us [02:26] night matt [02:26] lol [02:26] thanks!!!

[02:27] night [02:27] matt did by letting lou know you'd be late [02:27] oh oh yeah [02:27] no, matt saved lou with the sms telling where you were [02:27] nodnod [02:27] man, i had no idea worry was filming us.. creepy [02:27] yeah, I stopped, cos my cam had come out of its belt pocket thingy [02:28] so varin and Nisha helped put it back in place [02:28] it's called worry_bridge.. and i wasn't watching the bridges really [02:28] I just didn't want it to drop, even though I suspected we were done filming [02:28] I wonder if he was near the bridge that had to go up [02:28] is there audio? [02:28] y [02:28] some - background noise [02:28] yeah, nice place to shoot from up there [02:28] is it at stolena3 [02:28] nothing that is audible [02:28] no, iannet/ian [02:28] Danke [02:28] emailed to ian [02:28] http://iannet.lastresortretrieval.com/ian/secret/mailinbox/0149.html [02:29] i don't hear the horn krystyn [02:29] Man, even though I feel like we did nothing real solid, I still feel overwhelmed. [02:29] sounds like cars in the background [02:29] Horn? [02:29] he could've been on any of the bridges we went under [02:29] True [02:29] the horn/siren from the bridge that raise for us [02:29] There was a siren on the one that lifted [02:29] Yeah [02:29] right [02:29] i don't think he was near that one [02:29] That was probably just above Cermak? [02:29] It was so hard to tell [02:29] i also don't see us all nearly falling off the boat like we did at that point [02:29] hard to tell [02:29] because it was so dark [02:29] Heh [02:29] I gave Gunter a dirty look at that point [02:30] I was like, "Nice, toss us off the boat, whydontcha." [02:30] nisha got the midnight message again [02:30] can you go back to Gunter's entrance? [02:30] did he cough a lot? [02:30] * Rowan nudges krystyn back to the headlights... [02:30] funny, he phone didn't ring at midnight [02:30] in the headlights? [02:30] ouch [02:30] he coughed a lot johnny, and he was couhghing up blood [02:30] gunters entrance.. [02:30] omg [02:30] awesome detail [02:30] (i hope he's not really dying) [02:31] so the boat pulls up, and someone realizes it was called 'Justin' which is who we were supposed to wait for [02:31] well, he was swigging from a bottle of reg 'cough syrup' and his bloody handkercheif looked a lot like the cough syrup [02:31] but he and nisha both made comments about blood, so blood it was [02:31] gotcha [02:31] anyhow, so the boat pulls up and starts playing Fur Elise [02:31] lol [02:32] Later, Nisha asks him about the lease and he said something about playing that song for that reason [02:32] but anyhow, this dude in like a tuxedo vest is tieing up the boat, and his face is white with black around his eyes like some kind of voodoo/zombie mask [02:32] Correction, the boat was called "Justin E" [02:32] Nisha tells us all not to move, to let him come to us... [02:32] Justin E.. right [02:33] Yeah, Matt started to get up [02:33] and then Nisha told us that Gunter does this, he likes to have control [02:33] is it possible to see who the boat is registered to? [02:33] so Gunter comes over and yells at Nisha for bringing us, she was supposed to come alone and all that [02:33] Yeah, he stalked off the boat and looked REALLY surprised to see us [02:33] it had the name of a towing company on the side of it, so it must be leased [02:33] heh [02:34] its contagious! [02:34] She told him we were her friends, and that she was not getting on that boat, especially not without us [02:34] its an Il boat [02:34] but Nisha mentioned wanting to check that and making sure we got video of the boat... [02:34] go on krystyn, you can tell the story for a while... [02:34] Hahahahaha! [02:34] (Nisha mentioned that later though, as we were getting off) [02:34] I don't wanna miss anything, though [02:34] so jump in if needed [02:34] so he's all ranting and raving, and he's looking at all of us [02:35] and I am still doing the Charlie's Angel thing [02:35] Washington IL it looks like [02:35] the whole time, I kept repeating a mantra, "lapel! lapel!" [02:35] thanks for thiking of us! [02:35] thinking even [02:36] so he says, come for a boat ride! a little ride! [02:36] Oh and when the boat came up, and it was playing Fur Elise, I said, "oh, he is serenading you, how creepy!" [02:36] and then Gunter was in the steering cabin, looking out, being all creepy [02:37] and the zombie mime guy was all watching us silently, and presumably in German. [02:37] hahaha [02:37] so yeah, he comes out [02:37] hahaha [02:37] raving [02:37] silently in german? [02:37] ... [02:37] heheheheheheh [02:37] * Elec speaks German...silently! [02:37] and he's coughing into his handkerchief, and it's all reddened, and she's instructed us to not speak to him [02:38] so we're all just staring at him silently in English [02:38] lol [02:38] hmmf ... all that studying went to no useful purpose then? [02:38] heh [02:38] and then she decides that yes, she's going onto the boat, since she came here to meet him after all [02:38] Well, we tried! [02:38] and he says, there are 5 of you??? 5???????? [02:38] like, he's so disbelieving that she brought all these people [02:38] "you were supposed to come alone! ALONE!!" [02:38] and so he relents, and we get to come with [02:39] and we go [02:39] and my legs are very short [02:39] and I am holding a clipboard [02:39] as a weapon? [02:39] so one the second try I get onto the freaking boat, and the mime guy is like, "whatever, lady" [02:39] lol [02:39] I had printouts from the SD cards [02:39] mimes dont talk dammit! [02:39] the mime spoke! [02:39] it was in his zombie expression [02:39] lol [02:39] mimes. the horror [02:39] he exuded "whatever, lady" [02:39] rofl [02:39] YEAH [02:40] (steve!) [02:40] HOW CREEPY IS THAT [02:40] did he speak german silently? heh [02:40] I'm not sure I'd get onto a boat with a...mime *shudder* [02:40] it's like this game was written to give me nightmares [02:40] lol [02:40] it was kinda creepy [02:40] lol [02:40] the marina was in a strange commercial area under the expressway, and there was a little bar there with a few patrons who were noticably curious as to why we were there... [02:40] that mime was totally creepy, ... and bored [02:41] yeah, this Mexican social club [02:41] they were so suspicious [02:41] no english [02:41] i kept calling it 'the legitimate businessmans social club' [02:41] none [02:41] they watched us silently, in Spanish [02:41] for 6 hours [02:41] hahaha [02:41] poor lou [02:41] I know, Poor Lou [02:41] 'uno cerveza por favor' [02:41] krystyn, you were warned that the cops were coming? [02:41] jaysus [02:41] we <3 lou [02:41] Yeah [02:41] OMG...i'm gonna need a Porto Potty [02:41] Puerto Potty [02:42] occupied was in here! [02:42] OMG [02:42] so we get onto the boat [02:42] there was a cop car kinda lingering at the end of the road as we were waiting... [02:42] * xnbomb raises an eyebrow [02:42] foreshadowing [02:42] LOL dia [02:42] god this entire story is so bizarre, yet outrageously entertaining at the same time [02:42] (btw - some info on fur elise http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%FCr_Elise) [02:42] seriously, I'm not looking for pity (although thanks for the <3), it's just that it was so surreal [02:42] and we see the boat driver has a freaking top hat [02:42] and I may have imagine a monocle [02:42] imagined [02:42] ;) [02:42] he was also silent [02:42] rofl [02:42] they were totally voodoo [02:42] and Indeterminately-Spoken [02:42] so anyhow, we get on the boat... [02:42] lmao [02:43] i need a diaper [02:43] and we start to put put off [02:43] Gunter starts telling all kinds of wacky stories [02:43] and he's just raving [02:43] and coughing [02:43] and talking about spring [02:43] he says, [02:43] spring? [02:43] "you know how you can tell when it is Spring here?" [02:43] "when you see the first floater! in the river!" [02:43] LMAO [02:43] "Ah ah? You know what I mean?" [02:43] lol [02:43] wow [02:43] sounds... crazy [02:43] "because the bodies float up from the bottom, and that is how you know it is Spring!" [02:44] lou saw some of those [02:44] yeah [02:44] and the whole time he's looking over the railing [02:44] into the water [02:44] in the blue mess of nastiness [02:44] he saw floaters in the portapotty [02:44] * krystyn loses [02:44] hehe [02:44] one other of his stories is about a guy who lives 'on the other side of this' with his brother. They're in the circus and survive by eating rats. "But then, don't we all survive by rats?" [02:44] lol [02:44] oh, I thought he meant the sewers overflow into the river and you see "floaters" [02:44] they were twins, right? [02:44] bahahahaha [02:44] no, the bodies of the homeless [02:44] maybe.. i remember brothers, possibly twins [02:44] who fall in, and then freeze [02:45] yeah, I think he said twins [02:45] anyway... [02:45] * Lou|Chicago notes that his ride to the airport is coming in 3 hours [02:45] and what was it about 1853, he said? [02:45] he dug out a piece of paper at this point [02:45] and was like, "I will tell you!" [02:45] and I almost started laughing [02:45] another is about some woman who killed her husband and chopped up his body into 5 pieces and left it under 'this bridge over here' [02:45] because it was like some sort of f'ed up boat tour [02:45] cheat sheet :) [02:45] my belly hurts just from the retelling [02:45] YES [02:45] that was it [02:45] i forgot the 1853 thing.. i remember that year, but not what specifically happened [02:45] and the way he said 5 was creepy [02:45] dia - it gets better [02:46] cos he looked at all of us [02:46] haha [02:46] hahaha [02:46] So Nisha started yelling at him [02:46] i think they were trying to get across that he's going crazy, which seemed obvious [02:46] Yes, we get the crazy, Gunter. [02:46] maybe he has syphillis [02:46] the bacteria have gotten to his brain [02:46] well Nisha was kind of yelling at him throughout all his raving [02:46] He was ROBOTRIPPING [02:46] rowan - we thought maybe he was robo-trippin on the cough medicine [02:46] lol [02:46] ok, I'm going to sleep [02:46] Yes, she was very impatient with him [02:46] what was Nisha yelling aboot? [02:46] g'night, Lou [02:46] nite lou [02:46] Jeff, krystyn, it was great meeting you [02:46] G'night Lou, we love you, and we're sorry you were in the potty [02:47] You too [02:47] gnight Lou, well done! [02:47] hehehe [02:47] great work! [02:47] just like 'Gunter, we came here to talk, not here your crazy stories!' [02:47] g'night lou! [02:47] "omg stop scaring teh playerz!" [02:47] HEH HEH [02:47] thanks to everyone for all of the love [02:47] * vpisteve is afraid to sleep now [02:47] should we tell them about gunter's singing? [02:47] night Lou [02:47] I feel special [02:47] * Rowan gives steve a teddybear [02:47] :) [02:47] he sang too? [02:47] And so he got a little frazzled, and he said, "I want to sing!" [02:47] sure did [02:47] "Can I sing you a song?" [02:47] * Elec now thinks he is happy to have been too lazy to drive downtown [02:47] daisy? [02:47] * xnbomb 's anticipation of the videos is getting a little unbearable [02:47] 'but i can't sing when i see my audience' [02:47] and we sort of looked at Nisha, like, "German karaoke, whuhthefuh?" [02:47] YEAH [02:48] so he goes back in the steering room [02:48] so he goes into the boat's cabin and pulls the curtain [02:48] haha [02:48] and pulls the shades [02:48] slams the door shut [02:48] nite lou [02:48] and sings Twinkle Twinkle Little Star [02:48] maybe he was messing with you? [02:48] bwhaha [02:48] over the loudspeakers [02:48] wow. [02:48] wow. [02:48] lol [02:48] coughing up phlegm all the while [02:48] over the radio we hear 'Twinkle twinkle *COUGH COUGH* little *ACKKK* star' [02:48] it was songus interruptus [02:48] he had to reload [02:48] haha [02:48] omg this is priceless [02:48] heheheheheheheheh [02:48] best supporting actor on an arg boat cruise! [02:49] it was surreal [02:49] and we're all like, jesus what are we supposed to do? this is like abuse!! [02:49] I wouldn't believe any of this except there's no way in hell you could make it up :) [02:49] hey, you guys had cameras on all the while [02:49] we were all just kind of siting back watching, and we didn't know quite what to do... [02:49] yeah, this was WAY SURREAL [02:49] so we'll see this pretty soon [02:49] so she gathered us in [02:49] yah, 4 hidden cameras [02:49] which is what you see on the worry video [02:49] when we huddle [02:49] right [02:49] and she says she hates his guts [02:49] and she can't stand him [02:49] but [02:49] gunter got a phone call and went to the bow of the boat as she gets us huddled together [02:49] she's going to try reverse psychology [02:49] he had a few phone calls during our cruise [02:49] and kill him with kindness [02:50] Yeah [02:50] * ThaJinx is now known as Th[a]Jinx [02:50] so he comes back out [02:50] nite jinx [02:50] and I give him some applause [02:50] aww [02:50] Still around, no worries :) [02:50] "That was very nice, Gunter!" [02:50] sweet! [02:50] don't you hate it when you hit alt-f4 instead of minimize? [02:50] haha [02:50] heh [02:50] and so we start talking again [02:50] and he starts to sort of question our reason for being there [02:50] and he notices my LRR pin [02:50] For hot cyber-sex press Alt-f, X [02:51] which, of course, IS RIGHT ABOVE my cam spot on my lapel [02:51] * Rowan cries for her missing pin [02:51] lmao [02:51] so I am like, doo doo doo, not gonna give up what the lapel is about doo doo doo [02:51] and he is all, oooshiny, and he says, "What is that?" [02:51] and Nisha explains that it's because we're a team [02:51] we're working together [02:51] and I think he 'recognized' the logo [02:51] and sort of went "aaahhhhh" [02:51] and then he looked at me [02:52] "I want that pin" [02:52] "Can I have it?" [02:52] I said, "No." [02:52] :o [02:52] "But I really want it! I like it!" [02:52] "I like it, too" [02:52] did you all have pins? [02:52] i might've been tempted to say "sure, if i get alone time with Chewbacca" [02:52] as he's asking about the pin i was thinking if he asked me i was going to tell him that i pinned it into my flesh and couldn't get it out.. but he didn't ask me [02:52] "I LIKE IT MORE THAN YOU DO!!" and he gets a little scary [02:52] and I just STARED at him [02:52] yah, we each got a pin before we got on the boat as we were gearing up [02:52] "No, way, pal, it's mine" [02:52] cool [02:53] look at my pin and smile :) [02:53] Chewbacca? [02:53] so then he got sort of upset [02:53] and Nisha said, "OK, you really want a pin? I can mail one to you" [02:53] Gunter is in the Star Wars ringtone commercial with Chewbacca [02:53] and he was like, "not good enough!" [02:53] he asked someone else too, Varin maybe? [02:53] so then Matt offered his [02:53] onn right dia [02:53] and so he took his off, and gave it to Gunter [02:53] he loved having that pin [02:53] no [02:53] he was still a RAVING LOON [02:53] with a pin [02:53] that's the strange thing, he was happy to get the pin, but then was still acting nuts and being uncooperative [02:53] Yeah [02:53] He was absolutely unhelpful [02:54] did he go back inside again? [02:54] and after like 2-3 mins it was as if the pin thing didn't even happen [02:54] maybe you could have offered to trade him a pin for some information? [02:54] he either went inside or back to the bow for a phone call at some point soon here.. [02:54] Yeah [02:54] so, she gathered us -again [02:54] in hindsight, that's a good thought [02:55] and said we should just go for it [02:55] effing mirc [02:56] just bombard him with questions [02:56] (someone pm me with what i missed?) [02:56] and so we prepared ourselves [02:56] nisha made such a big deal about 'these pins show we're a team, that we're in it together, etc..' so I don't think any of us were giving him a pin under any circumstances until she said to [02:56] Yeah [02:56] that's why I stood firm [02:56] and he was getting so mad at me! [02:56] he kinda yelled at me, too, when he said, "I LIKE IT MORE THAN YOU DO!!!!" [02:56] he was sort of in hysteria [02:56] so anyhow, he goes to take a call, or disappears into the control room or whatever, and nisha huddles us again [02:57] yeah [02:57] and he comes out, and he's still raving [02:57] and definitely quaffing lots of cough medicine [02:57] we'd all been pretty quiet and unengaging at this point, but she tells us to start asking him questions, confront him and see if we can get any information [02:57] and we couldn't get a word in edgewise [02:57] ohh, we forgot something krystyn [02:57] and she's impatient with him [02:57] did we? [02:57] was this the bridge? [02:57] when we got on the boat, we all asked where we were going, and nisha said 'are we going to see your boss?' [02:58] Oh yeah! [02:58] nisha asked who his boss is, and he said that he doesn't know, he's never met him [02:58] i asked how they communicate and he didn't answer [02:58] yes! [02:58] man, I should've taken notes with my clipboard [02:59] but I didn't want to be obvious [02:59] it all just kind of kept flowing [02:59] did Gunter have a Treo? [02:59] y'know, i'm not sure [02:59] he kept walking away to take phone calls [02:59] and nisha would huddle us together [02:59] distraction [02:59] i tried listening in on one call, but couldn't get close enough to hear over the boat's engine [03:00] nice setup really [03:00] yes [03:00] so, at some point along the trip nisha tells us to confront him and start asking questions and stuff [03:00] I think he did [03:00] OH yeah, so the first time she asked us [03:00] we couldn't do it [03:00] so when does Gunter cry? or did U miss that when I dropped? [03:00] he was just raving [03:00] later [03:00] and she was yelling at him [03:00] and getting impatient [03:00] so then I think he went around the outside of the boat, or back inside [03:00] it was hard to find an opportunity to ask questions at first.. [03:00] and we were encouraged again to try [03:01] so he came back out, and Nisha laid it out for him [03:01] "We want to ask you questions, we came here to meet with you, and we want to know information" [03:01] and he threw up his hands, like, "ask away! I will accomodate!" [03:01] WHICH HE SO DID NOT [03:01] lol [03:01] because was a robotripping loon [03:01] (vee have vaays of maaakking you tock!) [03:02] because he was, rather [03:02] and so varin starts pulling out her papers [03:02] and he looks sort of curious [03:02] and she starts asking him if he knows these names [03:02] and starts rattling off the forgers [03:02] (the names of the forgers) [03:02] at some point i asked if he liked chicago, and he said 'very beautiful city' and i asked if it reminded him of florence, and if he'd been there recently.. [03:02] and he's sort of taken aback at first [03:02] yes! [03:02] riddle me this hack-man [03:03] smooth! [03:03] he kind of looks at me stunned, and i ask if he knows X, Y, Z, and show him the photos from the SD card [03:03] eventually he starts asking 'how did you get this?' over and over [03:03] and then he leaned into her, and was sort of looking over her papers, and she kept confronting him about Sigmund [03:03] Yes! [03:03] you freaked him the hell out [03:03] because he knew that you must've gotten the sd card info [03:03] (sigmund? is that a forger?) [03:03] Nisha says something about how we know more than he realizes... [03:04] oh, and didn't he start ranting about Enzo? [03:04] something? [03:04] i remember him repeated that name, and being suprised we knew [03:04] and so then I started firing questions at him [03:04] he had to know we got the cards...nisha asked him for info to find one of them [03:04] y [03:04] "So who is he? Is he your friend?" [03:04] but we cracked them [03:04] "Do you know him?" [03:04] "How well?" [03:04] and matt asks him if everything's going according to schedule and stuff [03:04] "Is he tall?" [03:04] "do you like him?" [03:04] "Is he cool?" [03:04] "Does he smell?" [03:05] and he starts facing off with me [03:05] hahaha [03:05] 'he is this tall *hand starts at his knee, rises to his head, and back down to his knee*' [03:05] yeah [03:05] heheheheheeheh [03:05] so right then it was QUITE OBVIOUS that he wasn't going to answer a damned thing [03:05] we freaked him the hell out, but didn't get much info from him... [03:05] that even though he was sick [03:05] and on meds [03:05] he knew what we wanted [03:05] and stark-raving mad [03:05] and he wasn't giving us anything [03:06] is this when Nisha talks about his Mom and McGungie, PA? [03:06] is that when Nisha started going on about his mom? [03:06] HEE [03:06] too funny [03:06] I think it must've been [03:06] if we're both asking [03:06] and he just goes BALLISTIC [03:06] where's varin btw? [03:06] and starts calling her a bitch [03:06] i dunno.. [03:06] she is on her way home [03:06] she has kind of a long drive [03:06] k [03:06] she has a bit of a drive [03:07] she's probably just getting home now [03:07] oh [03:07] she said about 2 [03:07] you beetch! [03:07] sorry, continue [03:07] yeah, he was yelling [03:07] and climbing around the side of the boat again [03:07] so gunter starts calling nisha a bitch, and says how much his mom loves him [03:07] and "F you! F you!" [03:07] :O [03:07] wow [03:07] and he gets all chocked up [03:07] chocked? [03:07] choked [03:07] choked i think [03:07] whatever [03:07] He was SUPER UPSET [03:07] verclempt [03:07] Oh, I know [03:07] I love my typos [03:08] so yeah, he goes around the boat [03:08] and I think he gets on the phone again [03:08] Oh, at one point she had gone after him [03:08] "feed me my next line" [03:08] i'm not sure what he was doing some of those times, cause nisha would talk to us when he was gone [03:08] around the boat [03:08] ohh right [03:08] dia - that's what we were wondering [03:08] he had written notes too at one point [03:08] and he went back inside before she came around all the way [03:08] i bet [03:08] no earpiece? [03:08] so they're just yelling at each other [03:08] not that i could see j5 [03:09] k [03:09] too loud maybe [03:09] y [03:09] and he's all, "you sit down! with my mother! I love my mother! and YOU HAVE TEA WITH HER!!!! and you! talk! to my mother!!!!" [03:09] "f you!!!!!!!!!" [03:09] i think this is getting near the end of the boat trip, cept for the seattle thing [03:09] so the boat slows a bit, and he starts yelling at us to get off the boat [03:09] ohh, and the raising bridge (not sure when that was exactly) [03:09] * johnny5 bites nails [03:10] wait though, couple thing before we get off [03:10] "get off my boat! how dare you!" [03:10] Oh yes, go ahead [03:10] after one of his numerous phone calls we ask who it was, if it was his boss, etc... [03:10] yes [03:10] and he says 'no, it was from seattle... sigmund (one of the forgers on varin's list) [03:10] ahh [03:10] that was about the biggest piece of info i can remember getting [03:10] he muttered about seattle once or twice before, after phone calls perhaps... [03:11] there's the payoff [03:11] a direction, and a longish drive [03:11] yeah [03:11] could be dia, that's about the only thing we can see as new info of signifigance [03:11] significance? wahtever [03:11] importance [03:11] and the next car? [03:11] or mission? [03:11] yeppers [03:11] we were sort of looking at each other as we got off the boat [03:11] note to self: look up more on Sigmund's role [03:11] "did we fail?" [03:11] the bridge though krystyn! [03:11] who do we have over there? [03:11] not really important IG, but just a funny storry [03:11] Oh yeah, hee [03:12] no, krystyn [03:12] at one point we went under a railroad bridge, but stopped short of it as this big siren blared and bridge raise [03:12] spacely? [03:12] not drawbridge style, but both side lifted up [03:12] once the bridge raises up, the boat started moving with a jerk, and we all stumbled and grabbed railings [03:12] nisha asked if we were okay and said we don't want anyone falling in, and gunter said 'not yet at least' [03:12] * xnbomb notes that he should never get on a boat operated by zombie mimes [03:13] lol [03:13] lol [03:13] hahaha [03:13] nice [03:13] it was a funny moment as we all looked at each other like 'whoah' [03:13] cause we were standing on the boat the whole time [03:13] I love how this entire thing seems more to screw with you than advance the game :) [03:13] krystyn said she shot gunter a look, but i was too busy looking for something to grab and didn't notice it [03:13] (does it make you want to play elec?) [03:13] Yeah, I totally gave him a look [03:14] yah, it was pretty interesting, but didn't seem to advance the plot much, maybe we'll notice more when we see the video [03:14] okay, so back to the part where we get off? [03:14] lol not sure it makes me want to play, but I probably will go read up on the backstory now at least [03:14] where do you get off.... [03:14] :) [03:14] nm [03:14] so we're getting off the boat [03:14] and Gunter's in the corner of the deck [03:14] GateKeeper and Krystyn...thanks so much for your story, but I will have to read the rest tomorrow. I'm beat : ( [03:14] and he's just sort of rambling and ranting [03:14] he's crying at this point after the confrontation about his mom [03:14] Plus I missed my chance, will soon be gone from Chicago forevah! (well ok, maybe not that long) [03:15] night, dia! [03:15] NO dia, hopefully someone is logging this, i'm not sure i want to type it all again... [03:15] no problem i meant, heh [03:15] i'm logging :) [03:15] gnight dia, thanks doing comms again [03:15] hee heh [03:15] yah thanks [03:15] of course [03:15] we may have to comnine logs [03:15] thanks from our side too [03:15] no, i should have everything [03:15] sorry we weren't in much contact but once things started, they just started.. no time after the briefing really [03:15] yeah, i'll leave myself logged in...just not sure if i will drop again [03:16] Yeah, there really was no time. [03:16] i understand [03:16] thanks [03:16] so, the boat stops, gunter's crying and yelling at us to get off [03:16] nite [03:16] nite [03:16] poor gunter [03:16] so he and nisha start yelling at each other, profanity flies [03:17] (there will be lots of bleeping in the videos i can see) [03:17] and we're standing on the dock [03:17] in several languages? foreign profanity is my favorite kind :-) [03:17] yep [03:17] at this point some guy whose boat had broken down and was docked in front of us starts asking mime guy for his card, or a tow or whatever (seeing the towing company logo on the side) [03:17] and she asks us to turn and look at the boat, so we can record it [03:17] so this guy is sitting there while they're yelling at each other and all, heh [03:17] He was SO amused, too [03:17] he kept sort of chuckling [03:17] ESPECIALLY [03:17] when Gunter went back inside [03:17] gunter is yelling 'you bitch, get off my boat!' and this guys like 'yah, we broke down.. can i get a tow?' [03:17] and the boat was turning around [03:17] rofl [03:18] And he gets on the loudspeaker [03:18] and he's asking this guy in zombie mime makeup [03:18] "fuck you, you bitch!" [03:18] i couldn't believe it [03:18] so LOUD [03:18] yah, on the loudspeaker [03:18] LOUD [03:18] Unbelievable [03:18] like not 50 feet from an apartment building [03:18] and Nisha was PISSED [03:18] yeah [03:18] rofl [03:18] God, this is great stuff [03:18] total residence tower behind us [03:18] i half thought the cops were gonna show [03:18] (again) [03:18] yeah, seriously [03:18] HEE HEE [03:18] again, you couldn't make this stuff up! [03:18] yeah, its performance art for sure [03:18] it was so surreal [03:18] yeah, so now we're stranded upriver [03:19] glad you guys got in. Great job! [03:19] and the people on the other boats around this dock are like 'wow, he's pissed' [03:19] yeah, truly fantastic [03:19] and we start walking along the dock [03:19] i overheard a couple rumblings, and the tow guy was amused [03:19] and we try a couple doors along the way, but everything's locked [03:19] well, there was one way out [03:19] so we're heading towards Congress Parkway [03:19] and Nisha sees stairs [03:19] but it was a parking lot with a guard shack, and nisha wanted to avoid guards [03:19] and she points them out [03:19] and we go up the stairs [03:20] i suggest that 'guards are supposed to keep people out, not in' but she says she'd rather avoid them, so we go toward the stairs [03:20] and we're a little stunned [03:20] and sort of talking about stuff [03:20] we really didn't have our bearings at this point [03:20] I knew where we were :) [03:20] well, i saw a river city bally's sign once we got streetside [03:20] from the river side i had no idea [03:20] we cross through a turnaround for dropoffs [03:20] and she offers that we call a cab [03:20] and get back to the marina [03:21] nisha says we'll look for a cab or something to go back to the marina [03:21] and she spots this passenger van idling by the curb [03:21] and she goes and talks to the driver, on a 'whim' [03:21] lol [03:21] leans in the window [03:21] asks him what he's waiting on [03:21] well, she asked if he was for hire loudly at first, then leaned in and talked, but we couldn't hear [03:21] and asks if he'll take money to take us back [03:21] and he agrees [03:21] so we get in [03:21] (surprise surprise) [03:22] yeah :) [03:22] and he drives us back [03:22] yeah, gypsy cab [03:22] well, she'd be hard to refuse ;-) [03:22] he says he's waiting for someone in the building, and she says 'will you take us for $100' and pulls out a bill and gives it to him [03:22] wink wink [03:22] and at point he just handed the money back to her [03:22] which was REALLY FUNNY [03:22] lol [03:22] i'm sitting next to her in the van [03:22] he gives her the money and she kinda shrugs and looks at me like 'okay, cool' [03:22] hee hee [03:22] leather catsuit again? [03:23] and then he asks me if we got the pictures taken? [03:23] rawr [03:23] and i say 'maybe it was taken care of already?' she kind of makes a thinking look, and says 'we'll talk about it later' [03:23] something about pictures? [03:23] yah, he asks about pictures or something [03:23] and Nisha kinda shushes him [03:23] and tell him never to mind all that [03:23] lol [03:23] or something [03:23] and he shuts up [03:23] earlier on at the marina a security guy asked 'if there's anyone famous in this movie' [03:23] oh yeah, that was hilarious [03:23] oy [03:23] heh [03:23] rofl [03:23] we're getting all wired with the cameras [03:23] and the security guy rolls by [03:23] oak quickly said 'ohh, i saw some trucks down the road, that must be what he's talking about' [03:23] "So what areas will you be in?" [03:24] "some trailers, they're shooting down the street." [03:24] this is WAY earlier than the van ride, we'll jump to that in a min [03:24] right, that was it [03:24] oh yeah, that was at the beginning [03:24] good improv on his part.. everyone else just kind of said 'uhhh, no.' [03:24] so we get back [03:24] and who do we see [03:24] but Lou [03:24] poor lou [03:24] again [03:24] well first the part where nisha removes clothes [03:25] and he looks sort of like "AW MAN NOT AGAIN" [03:25] see, I sort of missed that part [03:25] that was in the van? [03:25] in the van on the way back it was really stuffy and humid... [03:25] OH YEAH [03:25] and she said it was like New Orleans [03:26] you're just jealous, you wanted to sit by me too [03:26] No, I wanted to sit by Gunter [03:27] effing hell [03:27] and wipe up his phlegm for him [03:27] what is with the network tonight? [03:27] jaysus [03:27] so anyway, we pull back to the marina in the van, and nisha sees lou standing by the porta potty (again) [03:27] (again - what did i miss?) [03:27] and he's looking guilty [03:27] so we go up to him [03:27] and she sorta confronts him [03:27] thanks [03:27] and he says he was waiting for a friend [03:27] but the friend never showed [03:28] heeee [03:28] sorry for the flood, just wanted to get everyone caught up [03:28] no, he said a cab [03:28] cause he had called a cab after he heard we were on a boat [03:28] yes, but he said friend first [03:28] missed it, but ok [03:28] ohh okay... [03:28] his friend never showed [03:28] and I said, "some friend!" [03:28] so he was calling a cab [03:28] so we walked away from him [03:28] wait, missed the naked nisha too [03:29] and we removed our jackets and cameras [03:29] i just PM'd what you missed [03:29] she wasn't naked.. [03:29] sadly.. [03:30] well, i tried asking krystyn quietly if we should tell nisha about the email from lou that was in ian's inbox [03:30] but nisha overhears, and makes me repeat it to her, but then says it's not worth bothering with [03:30] gotcha, thanks [03:30] but she says she'll deal with it later or something, so i expect another argument between her and ian [03:30] she says she figures that was him, and that's what it was all about [03:30] and that it doesn't matter [03:30] he really looked out of place there [03:30] yeah [03:30] Poor Lou [03:30] hee [03:30] hanging by the portajohn for hours being the only english speaker there.. heh [03:30] he looked so beat down by the time we walked up to him [03:30] like, NOT THIS AGAIN GAAAAAH [03:30] poor lou [03:31] yah, he had it rough [03:31] so we say our goodbyes to Nisha, she thanks us, we sort of shrug [03:31] and then we're about to get in Matt's car when she calls us back [03:31] we're all thinking 'where's our treos?' [03:31] and hands us MYSTERIOUS brown paper packages [03:31] ah ... goodies! [03:31] tied up with string [03:31] ooh [03:31] but no one wanted to say anything, heh [03:31] and varin! [03:31] yeah [03:31] * varin waves [03:31] we were playing it cool [03:31] varin! [03:31] hey varin [03:31] YAY VARIN [03:31] we're just about done recapping most of the story.. [03:31] so she hands them to us each in turn [03:31] and sincerely thanks each of us [03:31] did they have your names on them? [03:31] so I can go to bed then? ;) [03:32] making sure to look us in the eye, etc. [03:32] if you want varin :) [03:32] well, some were initialed [03:32] or had the carrier on them [03:32] for the provider, right [03:32] they were plain brown paper wrapped [03:32] with twine [03:32] heh ... that is really good of them [03:32] and a LRR pin [03:32] Well, mine is not the right one [03:32] outstanding work! [03:32] oh? [03:32] so now I have to be the ass and tell them I want a Verizon one [03:32] lol [03:32] what do you have k? [03:32] maybe the late timing ... crappola [03:32] because I got approved so late, i think [03:33] Cingular [03:33] but I'd need Verizon [03:33] no, that's the way they are [03:33] so, now I have a Cingular Trea [03:33] Treo [03:33] you either get cingular or sprint [03:33] Seriously? [03:33] we had to open them in the car and sort em [03:33] I think so [03:33] the NY crew had that problem [03:34] ahh, maybe that explains it.. matt said cingular was his, varin and i needed sprint.. krystyn was neither of those [03:34] so now I have a very expensive box of nothing [03:34] e-bay! [03:34] Maaaaaaaan [03:34] Verizon/Sprint are swappable [03:34] I don't wanna do ebay [03:34] Congular/T-mobile are swappable [03:34] ahh [03:34] Huh [03:34] is another former retriever that needs to trade? [03:34] well maybe I can get them to switch for a sprint one [03:34] madamo has a sprint one, but he runs verizon [03:35] but anyway, at that point nisha pretty much jumps in her car and takes off [03:35] Yeah [03:35] and so I call Lou [03:35] there you go, sounds like a deal [03:35] and he says he has to wait until Nisha is gone [03:35] and then he came over [03:35] lol [03:35] and we gave him a ride to his hotel [03:35] poor Lou [03:35] and Matt called Dia [03:35] and I started answering Jinxie's text messages [03:35] and there you go [03:36] yay! [03:36] pretty much up to speed [03:36] thanks for staying up to recap guys [03:36] what a WEIRD night [03:36] np [03:36] ok - i'm gonna go med ferrets, then i'm gonna put up the chatlog from today [03:36] I just feel like we didn't accomplish anything [03:36] np j5.. [03:36] like we failed, somehow [03:36] yah, we didn't seem to advance the plot much [03:36] you had fun? [03:36] it was entertaining, gunter was nuts [03:36] god - why does just about every team feel like they've failed? :) [03:36] its so hard to know what the parameters are for these things [03:36] we'll see where the plot goes tomorrow [03:37] one last funny anecdote... [03:37] well, it's not like we retrieved an SD card! [03:37] well, except for Coachella, I think it all went as planned [03:37] when we first arrived, we did a drive by to see if it looked ready to go and all, with the delay and stuff there was some confusion of what time to be there [03:37] we ummm, got Gunter to spew profanity at Nisha! [03:37] you got seattle [03:37] so we drove past, and we saw lou standing under the bridge with his phone.. we all immediately knew it had to be him [03:37] yah, i hope that's something [03:38] like dia said, that's the payoff [03:38] we kind of expressed out uncertainty to nisha, and she seemed convinced we'd discover more when reviewing the tapes and stuff [03:38] out = our [03:38] geeze, if his mad ravings are clues ... this is going to take some work ... should be fun :-) [03:38] i don't feel we failed, but it's hard to clearly say what is different for our having done this mission [03:38] yeah, there were a few times that I couldn't hear what he was saying at all [03:39] yah, that was a bit of a problem.. depending where he was on the boat, if the pilot's radio was yammering, etc... [03:39] at the very least, it was fun... and hey, free treo! [03:39] woo! [03:40] free TOTALLY USELESS Treo! [03:40] ;) [03:40] I'll email Jenn [03:40] and see if we can do a switch [03:41] Todd updated sa3 ... shiver mein timbers :-) [03:42] oh there's a picture! [03:42] video even [03:42] look at me in my inconspicuous long black trench coat! [03:42] * johnny5 kicks the internet [03:42] yeah, Worry was there ... shot some video of you, emailed it to Ian [03:43] yah, i saw that [03:43] creepy [03:43] yah, the rest of us looked pretty natural [03:43] hahahahah [03:43] varin had this cloak and dagger looking black trench coat [03:43] she was like the 'cigarette smoking man' on x-files [03:43] lookit me in my ass-enlarging white coat! [03:43] heh [03:43] lol [03:44] with my totally bulging camera pack AND NO I AM NOT HAPPY TO SEE YOU [03:44] i had like a pullover thing, and it worked well cause i could kinda point the camer with my hands in the pockets [03:44] i'm hoping we got some good video
