[20:21] <Determine> This is getting weird haha
[20:21] <Fade_> This is getting interesting.
[20:21] <Fade_> I hope you don't plan to leave, however.
[20:21] <Determine> I'm not sure.
[20:22] <Fade_> You wouldn't want to lose so soon?
[20:22] <Fade_> And i'm not sure if it's going to be that simple to leave, anyways.
[20:22] <Determine> I just sorta wanna get out before it's too late.
[20:22] <Fade_> I want to find out more about alexis.
[20:23] <Determine> Alexis said that she won the game.
[20:23] <Fade_> And did you hear her earlier?
[20:23] <Fade_> Quarto told me she got her reward.
[20:23] <Fade_> But, why is she here?
[20:23] <Determine> She said to me that it's her home.
[20:23] <Determine> She also said that Quarto hurts her.
[20:24] <Determine> But I wouldn't bring that up to either of them.
[20:24] <Fade_> She told us all that he's behind her.
[20:25] <Fade_> Don't back out yet, i need someone else here i can at least speak to.
[20:25] <Fade_> BrokenRobot doesn't believe in any of this.
[20:25] <Determine> I know BrokenRobot irl.
[20:25] <Determine> He's gonna make a wager with Quarto that he hopes to prove that he's bs.
[20:26] <Fade_> What's the wager?
[20:26] <Determine> Not sure
[20:26] <Fade_> Alright.
[20:26] <Fade_> Stay anonymous and stay safe, we want to test Quarto to his abilities, right?
[20:27] <Determine> Yes, we do.
[20:27] <Fade_> Alright.
[20:27] <Determine> He's got my real IP.
[20:27] <Fade_> I'm having issues with burying anything, lacking tools and a location.
[20:27] <Determine> That's for sure.
[20:27] <Fade_> He's got all of our IP's
[20:27] <Fade_> IRC publicizes them.
[20:28] <Determine> I wonder what would hapen if we just don't turn up.
[20:28] <Determine> I mean, like all of us
[20:28] <Fade_> I don't think he would do anything.
[20:28] <Fade_> I can establish a meeting place
[20:28] <Fade_> some proboards for an old ARG i watched.
[20:28] <Fade_> Interested?
[20:28] <Determine> Sure.
[20:29] <Fade_> http://gangadiddle.proboards.com/index.cgi
[20:33] <Determine> Hmm. Interesting.
[20:33] <Fade_> Nobody's responded, trying to see if i can get more people to pitch in.

[20:44] <Fade_> Something new.
[20:47] <Determine> Hmm. Where did you find these?
[20:47] <Determine> Also:
[20:47] <Determine> <Determine> In all honesty, Quarto, I fear for the future.
[20:47] <Determine> <Quarto> Oh, yes?
[20:47] <Determine> <Determine> I am unsure where this game will take me, and I am not sure if I would like to find out.
[20:47] <Determine> <Quarto> Ah, the longing of one's soul for the unknown.
[20:47] <Determine> <Quarto> But you do not feel this?
[20:47] <Determine> <Determine> Well, yes. I would love to know the mysteries behind this game, but I fear that they may have negative consequences.
[20:47] <Determine> <Quarto> Don't be scared, friend. What is there to be scared of? Am I the boogeyman?
[20:47] <Determine> <Determine> May I ask, what have you to gain from hosting this game?
[20:47] <Determine> <Quarto> Everything, Determine, everything.
[20:48] <Fade_> Listen
[20:48] <Fade_> Alexis, the one in the chat right now
[20:48] <Fade_> is the same alexis from months ago.
[20:48] <Determine> Yeah.
[20:48] <Fade_> That was the only thing i was sketchy about.
[20:48] <Fade_> I don't fear anything going into this, i understand you might however.
[20:49] <Fade_> But i've got to know now.
[20:49] <Determine> I would actually like to experiment with this.
[20:49] <Fade_> http://pastebin.com/13T5iZGC
[20:49] <Determine> At some point, I'm going to leave with this name, put on a proxy and join as another.
[20:50] <Fade_> I don't think he'll accept new players.
[20:52] <Determine> Hmm.
[21:07] <Determine> http://pastebin.com/FVACscFp
[21:07] <Fade_> He controls Alexis, then?
[21:08] <Determine> Mhm.
[21:15] <Fade_> We need a plan then.
[21:15] <Fade_> I want to free alexis or at least get information out of her, i'm not sure if your goals are similar.
[21:15] <Determine> Firstly, we need to find out how this deal with Broken goes.
[21:15] <Fade_> I don't like the deal.
[21:16] <Fade_> Broken is completely skeptical about it, what if it goes bad?
[21:16] <Determine> If it goes bad, then it goes bad. We can do nothing about that, but we can use it to judge our plan.
[21:16] <Fade_> Fair, i'd like to think of something to do first though.
[21:16] <Fade_> Planning ahead is always good.
[21:21] <Fade_> Reading over the Roots poem again
[21:21] <Fade_> For what you don't know wont hurt you, but what you do certainly will.
[21:21] <Fade_> burden of knowledge is a pain.
[21:22] <Determine> Hmm. Yes it is.
[22:02] <Fade_> Another
[22:02] <Fade_> http://pastebin.com/tCDhyFc3
[22:03] <Fade_> One thing i noticed was that Alexis's IRC info is unique, whereas everyone else's is not.
[22:05] <Determine> She's on a Linux machine, apparently. Unusual.
[22:05] <Fade_> Mm.
[22:12] <Fade_> [03:51] <@Quarto> And to assauge your worries, I am not attempting to summon any sort of beast. [03:51] <@Quarto> Even if I wanted to, the rules of the game permit no such thing.
[22:12] <Fade_> There are rules. Some we were not informed of.
[22:13] <Determine> Should we ask?
[22:13] <Fade_> We should.
[22:16] <Fade_> Heh.
[22:17] <Fade_> Alright, now here's the fun piece that i found.
[22:17] <Fade_> qwebirc@Rizon-24CB6602.hsd1.co.comcast.net
[22:17] <Determine> quartoleads@gmail.com
[22:17] <Fade_> Sorry, hold on
[22:17] <Fade_> [02:51] == Quarto_ [qwebirc@Rizon-24CB6602.hsd1.co.comcast.net] has joined #ThePit
[22:17] <Fade_> Do a whois on alexis right now.
[22:18] <Determine> Aha
[22:19] <Fade_> A few months back, this was hers
[22:19] <Fade_> [02:58] == Alexis__ [qwebirc@Rizon-24CB6602.hsd1.co.comcast.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[22:19] <Fade_> So, Alexis is Quarto.
[22:19] <Fade_> Or the other way around.
[22:19] <Determine> Mhm
[22:19] <Determine> Should we confront him about it?
[22:20] <Determine> Or just go with it
[22:20] <Fade_> That's your choice.
[22:20] <Fade_> I'm leaning towards yes, but i have no idea what it would lead to.
[22:20] <Determine> How about Alexis first.
[22:20] <Determine> We'll confront Alexis
[22:20] <Fade_> If i'm right, then it doesn't matter which we confront first.
[22:20] <Fade_> But sure.
[22:21] == Determine [~Determine@Rizon-1D9ECB9C.wpl9.pie.bigpond.net.au]

[22:23] <Fade_> I'll be back soon.
[22:23] <Determine> ok.
[22:23] <Determine> I'm talking to her now
[22:31] <Determine> Fuck.
[22:31] <Determine> I'm wrong.
[22:31] <Determine> I just gave Alexis this entire speech
[22:31] <Determine> And when I Whois Quarto
[22:32] <Determine> Quarto is ~Quarto@quarto.leads * Quarto
[22:32] <Determine> quarto.leads
[22:33] <Determine> Well. He's going to eat me now.
[22:37] <Fade_> What?
[22:38] <Determine> Whois QUarto. Comes up different.
[22:38] <Fade_> He's using a different client
[22:38] <Fade_> if you read that log i sent you, he changed to that same thing during it
[22:38] <Determine> Oh ok. That explains it.
[22:38] <Fade_> The fact is, whenever quarto did use a webclient, he had the same info as alexis.
[22:38] <Fade_> Paste logs, if you don'
[22:39] <Fade_> don't mind.
[22:44] <Fade_> He knows, i've got that feeling.
[22:44] <Fade_> Did alexis say anything?
[22:44] <Determine> Nope
[22:44] <Determine> I'm talking to Quarto right now though
[22:44] <Fade_> Whois on quarto
[22:44] <Fade_> Oh, okay.
[22:44] <Fade_> He came back, i assumed he was being silent to you on purpose.
[22:47] <Determine> <Determine> I see.
[22:47] <Determine> <Determine> Quarto.
[22:47] <Determine> <Determine> I have another query.
[22:47] <Determine> <Determine> Are you there?
[22:47] <Determine> <Determine> This is rather important.
[22:47] <Determine> <Quarto> My, so impatient.
[22:47] <Determine> <Determine> My apologies.
[22:47] <Determine> <Determine> But I have been searching the internet for sources related to this game.
[22:47] <Determine> <Determine> Throughout my search, I have located a bunch of chatlogs that have been posted on Pastebin.
[22:47] <Determine> <Determine> Of the previous game.
[22:47] <Determine> <Determine> In one of these logs, you disconnect briefly from the chatroom.
[22:47] <Determine> <Determine> As:  [02:51] == Quarto_ [qwebirc@Rizon-24CB6602.hsd1.co.comcast.net] has joined #ThePit
[22:47] <Determine> <Determine> Or rather, joined.
[22:47] <Determine> <Determine> Now, throughout the same log, before Alexis had won the game and before she had made The Pit her home
[22:47] <Determine> <Determine> When she disconnects, you see the same thing.
[22:47] <Determine> <Determine>  [02:58] == Alexis__ [qwebirc@Rizon-24CB6602.hsd1.co.comcast.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[22:47] <Determine> <Determine> it appears that you two have been using the same router
[22:47] <Determine> <Determine> qwebirc@Rizon-24CB6602.hsd1.co.comcast.net
[22:47] <Determine> <Quarto> Well, yes.
[22:47] <Determine> <Determine> In fact
[22:47] <Determine> <Determine> If I was to run Whois on Alexis now,
[22:47] <Determine> <Determine> and see what client she is running
[22:47] <Determine> <Determine> You see this
[22:47] <Determine> <Determine> irssi v0.8.15 - running on Linux x86_64
[22:47] <Determine> <Determine> When I do the same on yourself.
[22:47] <Determine> <Determine> It appears to be the same
[22:47] <Determine> <Determine> irssi v0.8.15 - running on Linux x86_64
[22:47] <Determine> <Determine> You are also running the same client.,
[22:47] <Determine> <Determine> You are the same person.
[22:47] <Determine> <Quarto> Again, Bingo!
[22:47] <Determine> <Quarto> But not on the last charge.
[22:47] <Determine> The entire thing.
[22:47] <Determine> Sorry for the quantity of it.
[22:47] <Fade_> That's fine.
[22:49] <Determine> <Determine> Quarto.
[22:49] <Determine> <Determine> We both know I'm correct.
[22:49] <Determine> <Quarto> Do we?
[22:49] <Determine> <Determine> Yes, we do. Fade, Broken and myself.
[22:49] <Determine> <Determine> We have uncovered this little game of yours
[22:49] <Determine> If you're correct, then we've done great.
[22:49] <Determine> If you're wrong, then he is going to kill us all now.
[22:49] <Fade_> More proof about Quartos and Alexis living in the same area is confirmed since they both rapidly disconnected from the chat.
[22:50] <Fade_> Alexis does not seem to ever contact Quarto directly or even query him, infact she takes everything extremely lightly even in times where everyone is questioning Quartos.
[22:50] <Fade_> She leaves pretty early in the ordeal.
[22:51] <Determine> <Quarto> You have not assembled the pieces you collected correctly, I'm afraid.
[22:51] <Fade_> I don't have any other logs of quarto even communicating at the same time as alexis.
[22:51] <Fade_> There's one more thing i need to look up which i just now found.
[22:51] <Fade_> [03:32] == Alexis__ [~dimitrian@Rizon-24CB6602.hsd1.co.comcast.net] has joined #ThePit
[22:51] <Fade_> Still the same router, but a different client.
[22:51] <Determine> Might be a different computer
[22:52] <Fade_> Ah, i know
[22:52] <Fade_> Quarto realized that his webclient caused network problems
[22:52] <Fade_> That's when he started using a client.
[22:52] <Determine> <Quarto> Same network? I agree. The same client? Of course! Linux is my operating system of choice.
[22:52] <Determine> <Determine> Then please, enlighten me.
[22:52] <Determine> That makes sense,
[22:52] <Fade_> Alexis had left before this, and the next time she returned, she was also using a different client.
[22:54] <Fade_> I'm going to make an assumption that the anon that posted on the thread was actually quarto, as if he is actually Alexis, then he's shown to be able to imitate different personalities and typing styles.
[22:54] <Fade_> Oh, and they live in colorado.
[22:55] <Determine> IP trace?
[22:55] <Fade_> from [~dimitrian@Rizon-24CB6602.hsd1.co.comcast.net]
[22:55] <Determine> <Quarto> Your fault in reasoning falls upon these logs you have found, I am afraid.
[22:55] <Determine> <Determine> You were putting the players into pairs.
[22:55] <Determine> <Determine> William was the odd one out.
[22:55] <Determine> <Quarto> Consider this: Things often do not line up in order.
[22:55] <Determine> Oh I see
[22:55] <Fade_> the .co.comcast.net, the .co means colorado
[22:56] <Fade_> Whether he's telling the truth about alexis or not is unsure, but we know now that he doesn't have the abilities we assumed he might have had.
[22:57] <Fade_> Even if she is a different person, the fact they live together means it's very easy to kill her, or abuse her.
[22:57] <Determine> <Quarto> Of course I am, what am I besides an old man, playing games behind a computer screen?
[22:57] <Fade_> And he keeps calling himself an old man.
[22:57] <Fade_> I don't like that.
[22:57] <Determine> Mm.
