the whole LG15 saga is happening on youtube. It's not like Bree pretends that she's not on youtube... she knows it. And if she's in the same universe as Bree then cassie knows shes on youtube too. There's nothing wrong with Frank knowing about youtube if bree, cassie, daniel, and everyone else does.

but the point is if this were real, would you do that? Would you post to some random person's blog (who might be crazy and has a rifle) being like "hi you're possessed by a ghost on youtube wanna give me any hints?" People are only posting like that because they know it's not real, which is going out of character.

ohh i see what you mean. but giving him the youtube accounts would be a reasonable thing to do as if it were real. its like a nice way of saying you're not crazy.

We can't give him such proof that he's doing these things. He cannot become aware of what is happening, we can only encourage what is happening.

What's worse is that 90% of it is wrong, and the other 10% is just speculation.

FRANK -

YOU HAVE A RARE CONDITION WHICH AFFECTS THE CORTEX CEREBRAL CEREBELLUM, THE PART OF YOUR BRAIN THAT DETERMINES IF YOU'RE NORMAL OR NOT. YOU OBVIOUSLY SUFFER FROM DEMENTIA AND THE ROOT CAUSE OF THIS IS YOUR HOMOSEXUAL FEELINGS THAT YOU ARE REPRESSING, THEREFORE CREATING THE NEED FOR AN "ALTAR EGO" WHICH IS A FEMALE.

YOUR SOLUTION IS TO GO TO A GAY BAR AND HAVE SEX WITH A MAN, AND COME OUT TO YOUR PARENTS THAT YOU ARE HOMOSEXUAL.

I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR NEW LIFE AS A HOMOSEXUAL, YOU QUEER.

Man, hope that's not our fault. Especially if the poor man really is just a normal guy with some issues who has unexplainable coincidences that link him to the game.

Some days I hate people.

I said in another thread.. Are you the sort of person that would feel "comfortable" in conversing with someone that could snap and go on a killing spree if you said the wrong thing? Are you the sort of person that wouldn't feel like they were in over their head talking to someone that is potentially suicidal? If can't answer yes in real life to these questions..then..you probably shouldn't leave comments for Frank.
This is an ARG..your comments could infuence the outcome. Do you want Frank to sit in a tree with his rifle and blow a hole in Bree's pretty little head? Be aware that your comments could send Frank down a doomsday path for the story. We just don't know. If you can't write to Frank and find some commonality with him I do not see how your comments can be helpful to us or to Frank. Let me examine my own comment to Frank and go over some of the things that I tried to do. My post to Frank is within the [/quote] mark.

[/quote]Frank, I've check out some of your links. I can certainly understand how you feel. I am a survivor of hurricane Katrina and have had voices of my own. Sometimes it seemed the voices wouldn't stop. Sometimes I was scared to sleep. Yet the voices were all I had while I tried to survived in the desolation of what had been my life. I lost my fiancee, friends and more so I understand what you are dealing with.[/quote]

What I did here..was tell the truth..I searched my life for some commonality with Frank. I left out details such as the voice in my head that wouldn't shut up(more than usual) was my own and left me at a point to where I was nearly paralyzed because I was so overwhelmed with everything I had to accomplish to just get my life back to sub-normal.
I suggest that when role playing, especially if you are a novice...be yourself as much as you can be within the story. It's much easier to play yourself. If Frank ever wrote to me and wanted to discuss my voices I could answer him consistently and handle any question he had towards my situation without having to bat an eye. For some..this may be too open for them..I see it as therapeutic to speak openly about my struggles in life..to each their own.
Additionally, I paid attention to what Frank told me about himself. If you examine his Blog you can see that Frank was looking for answers..looking for people like himself. This made it simple to try and find a commonality with Frank because he was looking for that himself.

[/quote]As of late Frank, I have made a lot of friends online and we have all been hearing voices. They consume our existence, tell us of things we have to do, tell us to wait...but through it all we have each other. I see many of my cohorts and friends have started posting here.[/quote]

Here I again try to give Frank that which he is seeking and let him know that there are others out there that understand he hears voices. I don't at this point get into the fact that 'our' voices consuming us currently are the result of his works that actually exist outside the mind. Think about the glazed look people get when you tell them in real life about Cassie? How do you think someone in Frank's position may react? Too much too soon can have disasterous results. Also I address the fact that many others are here that are part of my group..I begin to explain why he is suddenly getting this mad influx of comments and probably E-mails.

[/quote]Be careful Frank, I can't speak for the intentions of all that are here...especially the anonymous posters.[/quote]

I try to let Frank know that I too see the "FOOLS" that have invaded his site saying all manner of crazy things and I am wary of them as well.

[/quote] Frank, I want you to know that we have found great strength and purpose together. We are a house united and together we do amazing things. If you feel a need for others..others like you..that understand you..we are here.. Waiting..We are ready..we can help..we are a family. We invite you to be a part of it if you would care to. Remember Frank, Proverb 13:20 states "He who walks with the wise grows wise; but a companion of fools suffers great harm". Join us Frank and together we can all grow wise.[/quote]

Here I extend to Frank what he and everyone seeks in life..Fellowship.
I let him know that we are a tight group that likes each other and works well together. I try to paint a picture of a group that he might feel he could gain strength from. I drop a few phrases that hopefully resonate with him without beating him over the head with the fact that, we know his thoughts, because we've seen his works that he doesn't know about.
Additionally, I thought about who it was I was speaking to. We know Frank has and reads a bible.(I don't smack him upside the head with the fact a page is missing and I know which one it is...that would Freak him right the hell out.) I use a quote from Proverbs that has played a role in my life for many years and that I know Frank will identify with because of his biblical background. This is attempts to strike another note of commonality between Frank and I. I also let Frank know that I count him as one of the wise and I would like him to join my group of wise men so that we may all become wiser still.

My approach is certainly not the only one..and may not be the right one...others may have other methods that work for them. I have however, as you can tell, put great care and thought about what I said to a possibly fragile mind and that is the best any of us can try to do. I tried the K.I.S.S method.. "Keep it simple stupid" by playing myself and relating my life experiences to Frank's situation. Also, leaving Frank 75 comments might make him feel like he's being stalked. Make your point and let him react if he will and if not..deal with it..Frank doesn't think you're special but maybe ya mom and 'dem still do so write them a note instead.
I hope this long winded post helps someone get a better idea of how to interact with Frank.

Sungkoo · Post by **Sungkoo** » Tue Oct 03, 2006 12:17 am

Well stated. This is how everyone should be interacting with Frank.

You scared me for a sec when you said you addressed the anon posts, but you handled it well.

I think you did a fine job.
I considered posting myself, but didn't want to register a name, and wasn't sure I could add any to the great job many of you already did.
Plus since I'm in training to be a psychologist, I'm pretty sure I would just have to stifle urges to say things that wouldn't be helpful in making him continue to play along with whatever she's telling him to do.
