Ladies and gents - we're now at 96%.

The iDGi Mandate has begun again. Better get a Fig post up redirecting backers and investors to here. Now we need to build the movement.

Historian

H&D needs a sequel. Its inventory management and stealth aspects put it so far ahead of any other game in real small unit warfare.

In a lot of ways, it's a WW2 ARMA.

Historian

IRC is pretty easy to set up - I just don't know how to make it permanent. I'd certianly love to have one.

Historian

The Wilconson Conundrum doesn't tell us directly what happened to Chard - what it does do is lend credence to Henry's sequence of events. It's clear that Malcolm Thomas' version of the events regarding John Wilconson is simply incorrect according Wilconson's digiconsciousness. I say that, as the onl...

Historian

I'm still doing more research but I doubt it will lead to any expansion of the above... What side of the Wilconson story does John Wilconson's ghost tell us? It sounds like the letter he sent about the Foremen being taken away isn't really correct - though it's possible he was hit and killed by Wor...

Historian

Hm. If I'm in the lore it'll be tricky. I'm a Boyle after all, so I may have to be a relative or something. I demand a conversation with Rook 13 about how his uncle inspired his love of 2Ds.

Historian

I mean almost all the subjects were nobodies. Why would Kevin Chard become one of Henry's subjects, voluntarily?

Historian

Good catch! You may be on to something: http://interdimensionalgaming.wikia.com/wiki/Th21e_Tr21uth_Pt.3 March 15, 2028 Do you know of any other articles/sources that more strongly link Kevin Chard to Subject 21? No. However I do know that Kevin Chard's corpse is dumped in London, with his spine fra...

Historian

I'm still thinking Kevin Chard is the best fit. It might not be him but 70% says it is. Not many that worked at K-1 were acquainted with Bellhurst, for example. The laser-like focus on Worldview can be explained by him believing Worldview killed Sarah Valette. I don't remember why Chard left Worldv...

Historian

It's crazy that there's going to be so many platforms for Consortium. Thankfully PS4/XBone have similar dev architecture to PC on this iteration IIRC. Linux/Mac will be the real challenge.

Historian

The Fig is doing -very- well. Also a crapton of investor interest. I think we need to step up PR to get people up in this thing.

Historian

Yeah, I don't really like any of those names. Not enough info at this point, I'd say - I think Xalapa will be our destination for the last game, where we'll get the answers to the Malcolm/K1 dichotomy.

Historian

Yeah, but nobody notices that -your- voice is different either when you're in control of Bishop 6. I don't think iDGi-1 is better than K1, so I'm not necessarily sure how K1 doing it is different from us doing it. Which begs the question - why does King sound like he's run through a voice synthesize...

Historian

During the confrontation with Kiril and at other points, Knight 15 is able to talk to you and others simultaneously without losing focus or coherence. We've got a couple options to explain that: like ourselves, K may be split between her mind and another, connecting through another packet. She may a...

Historian

Do you have a list of people we know that worked at Xalapa? Kevin Chard, Walter Greenberg, Keiran Boyle (Was he there regularly? I know he helped review brain candidates), and others all make up the list. If we know the members, we can cross them off based on characterization or date of death to det...

Historian

Same on not really feeling X-COM 2. I think it's just really... same-y? Terror from the Deep is the same way - it was just a retexture of X-COM 1. We need an apocalypse version with a futuristic cityscape. I've been playing a lot of Verdun and hate it. I die alot and it's no fun. Rainbow Six: Siege ...

Historian

Sounds like they're at least keeping Rook 9/Rook 25/Rook 13/Knight 15 - whom are the prime voices in your head. I'm almost 100% sure that we'll see many of the actors back where possible - and, since the game's 100% voice with no need for mocap, you can find voice actors to replace them. If that's t...

Historian

I guess the question becomes this - why does Darsie matter? She's just James' kid AFAIK.

It seems kind of counterintuitive that a singular human being would be the primary catalyst of all of this. Is it something she does? Maybe send the reactor into criticality?

Or is she actually 'special'?

Historian

If that's the vessel we see, it would be a fun sub-story of him fighting to regain control of the body. Heck, it would be extra awesome if at one point he does regain the control and it goes like this: - Game crashes with some obscure exception; - When you restart it, you are at different point; - ...

Historian

But why does Darsie matter that much? Is she wearing that stuff in her concept art?

I just don't really find it likely that she's the one in the dream sequences. Maybe the Guardian of Knowledge?

I wish someone could rip the model so we had something to look at.

The two sets of figures are BUSes, but different from the Bishop's (they have helmet-filters where the Bishop does not) and the other are the terrorists from the roof in the gameplay video of The Tower. If the third individual is Jenkins (who really doesn't fit the curly hair guy's description - he'...

Ran the whole thing through an Anagram detector - nothing used all the words, but they can be used to create:

- Creator Dieties
- A Secret In Time
- Determinator
- Deteriorate

Here is the full listing.

Historian

I guess we've reached the point where doing -all- the ridiculous things is the only way to find new dialogue in our 100-plus playthroughs? :P

Interesting that the Traitor realizes you aren't wearing your BUS and kills you accordingly.

Historian

Reading through it, I wanted more details but all I got was: Came from Andromeda Galaxy First recorded visit during Sumerian civilization. I'm certain Pawn 32 is their agent. C'mon, Andromeda? Pawn 32 is literally a Pawn. I seriously doubt she knows anything - and she's pretty clearly brainwashed. ...

Historian

Are the Guardians actually... Aliens? I mean, I'd go with them as other dimensional travelers, personally - doing the same thing we do digitally, physically. It plays into the Consortium Chess theme, we're the Whites to their Blacks, two sides of the same coin trying to shape the pieces on the board.

Historian

I was just pointing out that Henry doesn't do as many fairly pointless things anymore. I kinda miss it. He used to be fascinated by our music and differences between our histories and words that sound cool. He really isn't anymore. It's.... kinda disappointing, honestly. And I find his new behavior...

Historian

Sweet, Thrie - you guys put alot into it, and I imagined most stuff was already thought out. Does the satellite's simplicity mean we might be seeing a more advanced version of the briefing in the Tower - explained away as 'upgrades' both literally and in the metanarrative? The Dumbwaiter makes -way-...

Historian

Remember - Henry isn't a raw artificial intelligence. He's 21 brains digitized, and his thought patterns are in many ways influenced by how those people thought and acted. He isn't a HAL-type rules follower, he's 21 digitized people working in a balance between those imprints. It makes him far more ...

Historian

It's possible that K-1 did still cause the Earthquake (I'd actually call it probable) but the causative factor certainly wasn't a hack of the Japanese weather control device. That appears to have been a closely-monitored asset that sends up alarm bells at its use. I theorize, actually, that whatever...

Historian

The Churchill Tower - a mixture of a bridge, a hotel, an office complex, a fusion reactor, a water treatment facility, and an apex of constant dimensional chaos on the verge of a gray goo epidemic. We know a little bit about it. Rook 3's daughter, Darcy Linsworth, works at the site. Malcolm Thomas, ...

Historian

Hey guys - great game. Leaves me with a bunch of nitpicks' about Zenlil's actual design. 1) So... about the Mission Pods. There's no way you can fit all of Zenlil in one of those things. There's over 20 people aboard and those things can fit -maybe- 4 people knee to knee plus a pilot. Clown car, muc...

Historian

I think it adds to the design, in a way - very clean like the Consortium's aesthetic - but it's pretty egregious how similar Pawn 7's corpse and Wade look, for instance. Hard to make a lot of good characters different enough. Voice acting helps for sure.

Historian

Regarding the Vancouver Earthquake, I thought that there were two official ARG timelines - and that the 'first' timeline with the London Hacker and SECURITY LOCKDOWN INITIATED was from the virus implanted via Jack Geas. This allowed Malcolm Thomas to hack the King directly and turn him into a weapon...
