MOOMANiBE explains some of P2 pre-launch testing initiative.

<John> MOOM is coming back on
<John> MOOMANiBE: `LOL. it was a long ass lunch
<John> MOOMANiBE: Learned a few things, but not much. Primarily, Ep3 isn't related at all. And no, they can't tell us anything about it
<BennyHill> there he goes again
<BennyHill> status set to Busy, playing Portal 2
* MOOMANiBE (mibbit@65-122-178-66.dia.static.qwest.net) has joined #valvearg1
<MOOMANiBE> John insisted I get in hre instead of playing portal 2 likle everyone else
<MOOMANiBE> :u
<MOOMANiBE> so whaaaaaat do youwaaaant
<John> they want answers
<okuRaku> some people found evidence you guys might be getting a valve complete pack if they hadn't already
<MOOMANiBE> I only have some answers
<MOOMANiBE> 1. There is no connection to HL2 ep3. They can't tell us anything about HL2 Ep3.
<MOOMANiBE> 2. Dougley wasn't asked to do anything he did. Also, he isn't here
<MosServ> MOOMANiBE what are you doing here
<MOOMANiBE> John dragged me iun ;U
<MOOMANiBE> I have P2 minimized
<MOOMANiBE> Also we are all being drowned in swag
<MOOMANiBE> amd free razer headphones, keyboard, and mouse
<MosServ> MOOMANiBE why did you guys get chosen anyway
<MosServ> was it just mostly random
<MosServ> or solving some particular dealies?
<MOOMANiBE> the dgrid guys made a bot that checked activity and also allowed them to add people as contributors
<MOOMANiBE> it was in all the channels
<MOOMANiBE> they used that conbined with figuring out who was help[ing alot
<MOOMANiBE> to decide who to pick
<AndrewF> MOOMANiBE, <nerdpox> AndrewF: Ask him if they're planning on doing some sort of long blog post on how the whole ARG went down after this is all over?
<MOOMANiBE> I asked. They said they are meeting on that subject right now.
<MOOMANiBE> There will probably be something. Possibly press related.
<MOOMANiBE> I don't know for sure.
<BennyHill> about the end of the arg you mean?
<MOOMANiBE> yes, aout the end of the arg
<John> So this whole thing
<John> was just for a 9 hour early release
<John> of Portal 2?
<MOOMANiBE> I honestly have no idea myself. We're not exactly in the loop
<MOOMANiBE> xD
<MosServ> like they just sent you a message over IRC?
<MOOMANiBE> They added us all on steam,.
<MOOMANiBE> then told us to call them
<MOOMANiBE> LAter on we got ae-mail with details on how the dissapearance was going to go down
<MOOMANiBE> We were all told to dissapear, but not to do anything else
<MOOMANiBE> extras such as jake's video were added by them
<MOOMANiBE> not on valve's instruction
<John> how about Dougley
<MosServ> so is that why dougley didn't get to go
<MOOMANiBE> I havge no idea about doulgey. He isn ot here
<MOOMANiBE> \Maybe they kicked him out?
<MOOMANiBE> *shrug*
<flatluigi|busy> MOOMANiBE did you see how much dougley fucked around
<MOOMANiBE> yes, I did
<MOOMANiBE> I was lurking every day
<MOOMANiBE> They haven't told us the potato thing yet. I have a feeling they want to keep spoilerish stuff to themselvs
<AndrewF> MOOMANiBE, who was TheWatcher?
<MOOMANiBE> thewatcher was a fake
<MOOMANiBE> that is all I nkow
<AndrewF> thewatcher was not any of you guys?
<MOOMANiBE> My text file is on my home comp. We're at valve right now
<flatluigi|busy> MOOMANiBE: seriously? I thought thewatcher was one of the hidden path devs
<MOOMANiBE> I did too - we were totally in the dark
<MOOMANiBE> but no, they have told us that thewatcher was totally nothing to do them
<BennyHill> MOOMANiBE, are you just playing raw portal? is there some sort of extra thing you're doing? I HAVE TO KNOW
<MOOMANiBE> It's jusjt regular portal 2. single player
<John> no multiplayer?
<MOOMANiBE> It's the normal game
<MOOMANiBE> MP is there but um
<SL128> Could you post a screenshot of the main menu?
<MOOMANiBE> I dunno if their seervers are tujrenedon yet or something
<MOOMANiBE> they have specifically instructed us not to post screenshots
<MOOMANiBE> they were very clear about tha
<MOOMANiBE> I do however havve tons of video
<AndrewF> so is Hidden Path mostly responsible for the ARG?
<MOOMANiBE> inclduing myself posing next to their turret in the liobby
<AndrewF> and Dejobaan?
<MOOMANiBE> so I will upload that stuff later
<MOOMANiBE> Dejobaan is here.
<MOOMANiBE> I... don't know where they are right now
<AndrewF> Hidden Path and Dejobaan are there, right?
<MOOMANiBE> all the devs are here
<MOOMANiBE> all of them
<MOOMANiBE> well
<MOOMANiBE> actually
<MOOMANiBE> I diin't see the SMB devs
<flatluigi|busy> ichiro gave me an internet kiss :D
<MOOMANiBE> but Hidden Path, Two Tribes, the amnesia and ball guys
<MOOMANiBE> they are all here
<MOOMANiBE> dejobaan, etc
<AndrewF> MOOMANiBE, is the release of Portal 2 the end of the ARG?
<MOOMANiBE> not here inthis room though
<MOOMANiBE> I dunno. they haven't told us. All I know is that they are in  meeting discussing the end of the arg
<MosServ> could you, say
<MosServ> leave the room
<MosServ> maybe wander over to ep3 dev area
<MOOMANiBE> We're all in a room right now
<MOOMANiBE> I have a feeling they wouldn't take kindly to us wandering
<MOOMANiBE> by us I mean, the ones hwo were taken
<MOOMANiBE> god dammit
<MOOMANiBE> jake is about to pass where I am in portal
<MOOMANiBE> I need to play moar now ;u
<MOOMANiBE> I'll come back later and try to answer more but seriosuly, they have not been telling us much :P
<okuRaku> MOOM are you getting a valve complete pack too?
<MOOMANiBE> I have no idea
<MosServ> oh yeah, can you please tell them to develp ricochet 2
<okuRaku> looking forward to vids/pics!
<AndrewF> richochet 2 will be the next ARG
