Yeah, Gigs and Kess were all like, "We're sorry you're a sucker". And I'm all, "It's cool." and Josh is all, "So... Tenshi... what are you wearing?"

Well, that first part is a lie but they did apologize and I'm kind of amused that I totally played into hand in that manner. It's expected though, when I get something unknown that I'm not sure how to deal with I turn to SLU.

heh. Yeah, I depend on you guys. THERE I SAID IT. *sob*

Siyu Suen · 09-06-2008, 09:04 PM

Well, Gigs would have contacted you first 'cause Kess and you are so close, and I think he meant it to be a community activity. As far as geeky coding and open source goes, Gigs was the most obvious choice for putting translatable codes into output and all of that. And.. you know... the site being REGISTERED to him was kind of a tip off

Don't worry Tenshi, you're not a sucker for playing a game. Otherwise I'm a sucker for enjoying Battle for Middle Earth 2.

Ten · 09-06-2008, 09:06 PM

Well, now I'm just all melancholy because I know they're going to Stroker's thing tonight and I'm not there. Also, have you noticed that it seems to be just you and I on the forum?

No hijinks. Guess I better pick up Josh's slack and start something entertaining on the board here... :\

We're SLosers 'cause we're not at the ~~prom~~ convention

Dance in the parking lot with me?

Ten · 09-06-2008, 09:09 PM

I actually looked into how much it would be to fly into Tampa last night.

Then my two year old hit me. lol

Heh that was cyansunset.com which just happened to be the same as the name of one of the trailhead pictures.

We are still getting our stuff together on meerkat viewer, but we should have binaries for windows and mac up soon.

We also have our own jira, svn, mailing list, etc.

Gigs · 09-07-2008, 05:27 PM

Heh oops, I forgot to log in as me instead of Shanti. I'm at the airport now.

Gigs what was that stupid country song, city song or whatever? Plz tell me.

Also, were you the one with the Einstein quote in your sig?

Joshua Nightshade · 09-07-2008, 06:51 PM

Oi, space that shit out so it doesn't look like I was involved. I didn't know anything about it until Gigs told me it was him.

I did hit him though for making me yell at you.

Gigs.

Also what are you wearing?

Well played, Gigs!

I really need more sleep... didn't get in until late last night and now I'm at work.

Gigs · 09-08-2008, 03:30 PM

Much of the music was from the 365 days project, except for the Ren and Stimpy workaday world thing.

WFMU's Beware of the Blog: 365 Days #230 - Outtakes from the 2003 365 Days Project - Part I (mp3s)

Country Song - Rossi Forgione - Outtakes from the 2003 365 Days Project - Part I - blog.wfmu.org

Rossi Forgione - Songs From The North (2000)
07[listen] Flamingo (1:45)
08[listen] Country Song (1:47)
Rossi was a client of our local mental health service and was part of a therapeutic music project that I read about in a local paper. I contacted the owner of the studio where the recordings were done and as I was the only member of the public to show any interest he sent me one of the (only) 50 CD's that had been pressed. Rossi is the highlight of the CD but there are other things of interest on it too. Turns out Rossi is the MC of "Club Wild" a semi-regular "all-abilities" night club that happens here in Melbourne, Australia.

About the Einstein quote... I don't think so, not on this forum. It's a common quote/sig.

Here's some stuff to wrap up the game:

Postscript blog post, read this, it's for you all:
Gigs Shrugged » Blog Archive » Shanti PostScript

All the web scripts source code and images:
http://www.shanti-is-coming.com/shanti.tar.gz

The crypto stuff I wrote by hand to generate some of the ciphertexts:
http://www.shanti-is-coming.com/encrypt.tar.gz

Oh, one more thing to add, I didn't originally imagine that SLU would be the primary place where the game would take place, it just sort of happened that way. You all working together so closely really made things move faster than I expected, which was one reason it did kind of peter out for a few weeks, since I had to work on actually making Meerkat ready for release and testing, rather than writing the ARG.

Chalice Yao · 09-09-2008, 05:33 AM

*grabs her mic and tackles Gigs*

"Mister Gigs! I'm Chalice from The Purple News Networks. plzanswerthenextquestionskthxherewego:

1. What are your thoughts about the also upstarting Imprudence Viewer

2. Can you see the devs of the viewers working together or exchanging ideas at some parts?

3. Do you feel the relationship between Imprudence and Meerkat will develop into a rivalry, a competition, or into a harmonic symbiosis with give and take?

4. You weenie
