IC Thoughts

[termineur]

Sylar rarely writes things down, but he does read and take note of a lot. Because of this, I have to take a lot of notes. So here are the things that Sylar's thinking about while reading through all the various old posts.

It's not really organized in any fashion. I could say that Sylar's mind is more disorganized now that he's in Snowblind and without his intuitive aptitude, but really I just haven't organized it. Just enjoy the useless jumble? And feel free to ask any questions about what he's thinking below. I love to go on about all of this.

-------------

From initial readings:

-At least 2150: how do we know? (date labelled 06/1/50 somewhere: http://snowblindrpg.dreamwidth.org/61891.html ) - 100 years since nuclear impact?

-Ask that question for every point of 'fact' in guides

-Alaska

- Except Daytime isn't working right? http://snowblindrpg.dreamwidth.org/17732.html?thread=1468484#cmt1468484  Andromeda says we're in Alaska.  That's where it came from.

-Radiation sickness, nanomachines

-NIMA - Nano Injector machine

-Spiders (machines?) 'top us off' when we get sick

-Past 'residents'- other large groups of people who appeared here.

-DATA app (?) showed that the network had been wiped HUNDREDS of times? http://snowblindrpg.dreamwidth.org/74731.html?thread=7533547#cmt7533547

-Mass Graves had non-decomposed bodies.  Skeletons also present.  Everyone in group killed at once?

-Deleted text made it sound like they had access to fire at one of the previous iterations

-@dissect is interesting "extensive experience with the dead"

-@guardian defends the admin, thinks she's an AI. Admin calls her Angel- she turned on her beacon but didn't remember doing it, even though there's video: http://snowblindrpg.dreamwidth.org/71189.html

-@hotstud_xxx interested in solving the situation- careful- doesn't trust/like anyone, likes experiments, talked extensively to Joker/plays dangerously?  Plays piano.  How many times did he sacrifice himself to experiment?

-@totheark is a weirdo with communication problems, but he watches

-All this is revealed on Day 58

-Anomalies are left-over past 'wipes'?  The spiders reconstructed them?-@Mnemosyne also trying to work this out.  Also sacrifices himself frequently.

-'think like an AI' - delete the infected programs and reinstall.  

-@Spoiler is an info collector, tries to be upbeat (unlike most others). VERY THOROUGH record.

-@itsybitsy is an info collector- Avenger? Hero. Along with @hawkguy and @iamlegend.  More straight to business.

-Admin in charge, people wonder if she's an AI or not.

-Robert Miller doesn't care about residents. Dislikes Winter.

-Winter - Russian AI.  Liason between AI and humans.  

-Andromeda - Same but American

-So who's the AI they're liaising with?  

-Are we AI?  Created from nothing?  Created from History?  But why such vastly different histories?  Some have magic, powers, and some don't.

-@gravedigger: causes pain for enjoyment: very observant "If this is all a computer program" http://snowblindrpg.dreamwidth.org/116115.html . Might be good for experimentation, no one will miss him.

-Might or might not come back from death

-Anomalies started as black shadows, began to take on different shapes.  Adjusted due to our presence?

-Beacon application (app?) attracts anomalies?  Admin can adjust them, made them look like people? 'parameters are being adjusted'  looking for something "I want it" "give it here"

-Videos indicate the people before had some sort of protest- lots of violent noises 'We don't need a babysitter'.  Curfew.  Pet bird's blood was blue?  Was it made out of nanomachines too?  Babysitter is nanomachines?  Everyone left at the same time- is that like when we're 'compelled' to leave a place?

-Seems similar to @Enoch's experience, except they went blank and he was aware.  It can ignore our free will.

-NIMA poisoning - Jia Xu was working on it.  Never found a solution, clearly.  Were we brought to try and figure out a solution?  Lots of specialists here.

-Or simulation.  That's been thrown around.  Sim to help figure out how to combat the poisoning.

-Andromeda 'possessed' someone, and his eyes glowed.  AI can possess residents, apparently.

-'Something large' picks us up when we die outside?  

-Someone joked about the spiders before they were caught on camera

-'Item distribution will be adjusted tomorrow' http://snowblindrpg.dreamwidth.org/42886.html - the admin is determining what we actually get?

-filterhax is another app

-can make conversations private- can mess with it with filterhax?  Can change usernames?

MN Poisoning: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Zc_VYgqbxIAYBV3isbuj_KW46RmMP6IgXpVHlwzPNro/edit#gid=0

-don't touch bodies- will get sick faster

-MN poisoning is the reason the previous 'sessions' were terminated

Talk with Admin: http://snowblindrpg.dreamwidth.org/71189.html

-"If I ask really nicely would you send us home?" "This is your home"

-Admin uses 'geothermal energy'?

-Anomalies are 'errors whose exact nature is unknown'

-She responds to politeness (whoops)

-Admin confirms whether or not people are 'from the same world'.  "Difference in memories can be the result of actually experienced different situations, provided simple memory error is eliminated as a possibility"

-MN poisoning is a side effect to NIMA 'emergency medical procedures'.  So the radiation causes continued need for high doses, which causes us to get over-exposed/over-recreated by the nanos.?

Giant thing under the town/Dreams: http://snowblindrpg.dreamwidth.org/161034.html

-Could this be NIMA?  Emergency NIMA procedures in place are causing it to 'eat' the residents, then look for more residents to replace it.

-Session number?  Is this how many times the city has been 'wiped'?

-Only 240 days available??  Already on Day 155

-Spirals? Dig deep?  http://snowblindrpg.dreamwidth.org/178611.html?thread=20100275#cmt20100275

-Likened to a metal puzzle game- way to bend the puzzle?

-There is an entity under the network: http://snowblindrpg.dreamwidth.org/137378.html 

Winter: @dulchedeleche; used to be a true AI, now just repeats back responses?  (Chinese Room Theory)  Explains that 'the real Winter died'

 

Robert Miller: Talks when Admin (Eve) isn't around.  Was she on her break? http://snowblindrpg.dreamwidth.org/179470.html?thread=20304910#cmt20304910

-Claims Eve is a real human.  Gov official.  Both him and her are 'the only ones left in Norfinbury aside from all of you'

-http://snowblindrpg.dreamwidth.org/179470.html?thread=20275726#cmt20275726 "There isn't anything I need you to do. If you can figure out how to get home, I won't stop you.  I don't know how to do it."

 

 Natasha's Guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11OMskm8ae37bWb3JxHodzDOWu1gZT2lan1Lp9zYUo5c/edit

-Building 54: Andromeda's house?  How does an AI have a house?  Did she have a body? -Confirmed, she used to have a body when she was a 'strong AI'

-57: Chapel.  Video that will break tablet.  Worth it?  How do you get a new tablet?

-66: Metal under the wood floors

-80: Why did Elric feel the need to tell the resident they are friends?  Do the 'former residents' frequently show up?

-88: "I know you're watching me" on the wall? ??

-92: BATH. "Access Authorization Overridden" for Robert Miller's ID.  Did Admin cut his access off?  Need Admin access?

-94: Jia Xu's house

-97: Often lots of people, increased risk of anomaly

-104: electric humming

-Hospital Basement: Staying overnight in forbidden places causes MN poisoning, according to Robert Miller.  Profuse bleeding, but nothing after lockdown until midnight- attacked by electric creature. 

-121: Post office: Choke point where there are often lots of people, increased risk of anomaly.

-134: Pet Store.  One area is labelled Custom??  So like the sparrow in the video??  Animals are/were a 'created' luxury, maybe?

-149: warm building?

Morning 159: Glitch Day: http://snowblindrpg.dreamwidth.org/205901.html winter reappears

-Can't believe I missed this.

-Static is probably due to the nanomachines interfacing with our eyes messing up.  

-Lots of focus on eyes here.  

-@donner recently found a bunch of eyes…in a tunnel?  Not sure where they are

-Winter will copy programs, but she/we glitched out on 'I' and isn't talking to us anymore.

-There is an app called Shadownet: http://snowblindrpg.dreamwidth.org/205901.html?thread=25677901#cmt25677901  Winter created it.

-If the nanites aren't glitching, Admin can see everything we do.  Does Winter only show up when they are? To talk to us seperately?

-As an AI, is Winter trying to settle us down? Like Zion in the Matrix?

-@jwatson is unsurprisingly observant: http://snowblindrpg.dreamwidth.org/205901.html?thread=25707853#cmt25707853

-Items don't work on anomalies, but our bodies do and house rubble does

-Might not see what's 'really' there with an anomaly

-Recreated items might not have the same properties?  Maybe they are completely lacking nanomachines? Idk

-@itsybitsy has been in this mind-control situation before- also Russian.  Weak point.

-Jennifer Sneider made the medical nanomachines (supposedly unrelated to Norfinbury)

-Hacking attempts are being made and no progress has been made by @itsybitsy's /group/

-Robert Miller tried to fry Winter's computer.  To get 'back in' she had to switch the security settings to 'what they were before' - Before lockdown? Before defense walls?  Before nuclear winter?

-Winter sees 'network interference' rather than static.

-Winter says we're not a computer simulation. "I could tell if you are."  

-@hawkguy is part of itsybitsy's group.  Lets more info out, doesn't think of himself as an idea man.  Self-deprecating.  Push on him if necessary.  They tried to hack and immediately got attacked by an anomaly.  

-Static has happened before: http://snowblindrpg.dreamwidth.org/95954.html and http://snowblindrpg.dreamwidth.org/128658.html?thread=12765330#cmt12765330 

-Bloody static I knew about.  Not static IRL.  Fits anomaly theory.

-The network used to be 'mandatory'?  "But I don't know how you guys experience it."  "Looks like the tablet interfacers are still a thing."

-"network is flickering all over the place." Network is down(ish)?  Can't load the right images? Not like it's losing and finding signal, "like its changing locations"

-@hsiaoke (Kesara) has an 'Eye' app, same as the drawings.  http://snowblindrpg.dreamwidth.org/205901.html?thread=25681485#cmt25681485 . Used it before, but not around anomalies.

-Kesara also has a Plan that she can't tell now- not safe. 

-Smart girl- found tunnel too- doesn't like being talked down to.  "I'm not going to be careful, I'm going to be dangerous."  

-Probably has gathered some caretakers.

-Wants to talk to Batman over Shadownet.

-Eyes had to do with the old protest movement?  So they made the Eye app?

An Eye showed up during the first month: "It saw the worst in all of us and tormented us with it"  What?

-Miller was able to see the previous post Winter made.  Probably knows about Shadownet

-wtf is E the Prophet?  http://snowblindrpg.dreamwidth.org/205901.html?thread=25670733#cmt25670733 

-Personality mods were definitely done.  

-House knows Russian? 

-Watch for terminals to get Winter net access.  Could get admin access this way?

-Joker annoys him, has probably killed him before.  "I don't murder or threaten to murder people, pretty sure that's a major delineator, chuckles"

-Bet you've pushed patients before, though, huh, Doc?

Winter Day 100: http://snowblindrpg.dreamwidth.org/128658.html?page=1#comments

-Messages weren't getting through.  Told us to not trust our own eyes.

-Was a spy AI, apparently close to Andromeda

-Sent birthday cards to each other.

-http://snowblindrpg.dreamwidth.org/128658.html?thread=12774290#cmt12774290 "I said it was an obsession and she laughed at me and it was such a gorgeous laugh it was so nice it was so nice."

-During maintenance, blood came out staticky.  

-http://snowblindrpg.dreamwidth.org/128658.html?thread=12708754#cmt12708754 - are we computers? As in, how many nanomachines make us up by now?  More and more as time goes on.

-Sandbox/sand castle = other Ais/robots, she can tap in and look at what they see?

-only one network winter can find, just us

-She thinks we're real, but our eyes are giving us different data. 

Winter Day 140: http://snowblindrpg.dreamwidth.org/178611.html#comments

-post-maintenance involving residents.  Robert Miller came out for this one, forced residents in to fix things.

-Winter is missing a chunk of time.  She had plans to return to Alaska when her memory cut out.

-Speaking in russian - @ASolomons knows russian.  Is it safer?  Admin couldn't follow?

-Winter remembers Robert Miller, but remembers him being quiet, not sadistic.

-"Copying brains is theoretically possible, but illegal." Likely what's happening.  Brain copying works only on people who are alive, so there should be a huge gap in memory.  But NIMA is everywhere and we're jacked into the network.  

-If we die, do we get some memories from outside perspectives?  Keep in mind next time you die.

-Start of the spiral is probably the town 'entrance' WE ARE GOING THE WRONG WAY

-http://snowblindrpg.dreamwidth.org/178611.html?thread=20141491#cmt20141491 - Admin could march us somewhere if she wanted, but marching us isn't part of the experiment.  Has to see what we can uncover for some reason.  Still suspect admin.

-House and Angel got into a fight over Vicodin and painkillers for Rhys (?)  Important enough to House to take drastic action. 

-Solomons is an endless source of getting info on other people.  Thank you, @ASolomons

-Winter doesn't remember 'nuclear war tension'.  Maybe an asteroid?   But who know what could happen in a hundred years?

-Dreams apparently had Andromeda in them.  "She was always into helping the whole world."  

-Winter has been active since Day 81.  Anything happen then?  Anything change?

-Winter has a Norfinbury account, she could see more if she could access it.  Needs an unassigned computer to work with.

-tablet apps MIGHT mess with our brains.  It's possible.

-http://snowblindrpg.dreamwidth.org/178611.html?thread=20092083#cmt20092083 - Getting Winter on the Network.

-Admins for town networks had caused a backlash in the US and weren't often used: http://snowblindrpg.dreamwidth.org/178611.html?thread=20156595#cmt20156595

http://snowblindrpg.dreamwidth.org/212926.html - Bucky says he's dangerous

-What happens when cover is blown.  

-People are not sympathetic.  Get suspicious almost immediately of trying for redemption.

-Have to step up my game if I get caught.  Might be easier just to avoid murder.

-Upside?  Most people don't seem to care about one or two murders. Guess that happens when people might come back.  Or if its someone they don't know about.

-How many freakin' people know Russian in this place?

-Bucky seems to be having a rough time controlling his actions "I'm done being that person"

-@itsybitsy is 'taking responsibility for Barnes'

http://snowblindrpg.dreamwidth.org/213088.html Alfie calls for Joker

-Connected to Fiona, who Joker killed

-Everyone is ready to argue.

-Watson asked about prescription meds.  (!)  It's why we have them now.

-People are very concerned about mind alterations, at least.  Probably won't have to worry about them being used as a corrective measure, unless killing indiscriminately.
