1st Scream [Text; from home desktop computer]
[She starts typing...]
Alright people, it's time to stop fucking around...
[Then pauses, thinks "awww shit there might be kids younger than Bakura, who knows even," deletes that, and starts again. And continues to correct herself as she goes. ]
Alright, people, it's time to stop faffing around. We need to figure out what the heck is going on. Best way to do that is with cold, hard data.
Facts known:
> April 1st, everybody couldn't stop thinking of a number
> These numbers key into a network of some sort
> They even work for fax machines
> Some of you claim they work with your notebooks but you're clearly lying liars, or maybe you typo'd "netbook" but whatever
Things I have since discovered:
> The three people I've talked to have vastly different time frames for when they first encountered their numbers. This ranges from a few days to a few years.
With that in mind, if you lot would kindly report in this thread (I bolded it so my instructions are clear):
> When you first remember encountering your number? Doesn't have to be exact, you can be like "I dunno it was a few years ago" or "Uhhh a few days ago I guess." General timeframes are fine.
> Did anything weird happen around the time you got said number?
Kthxbai
In the interest of full disclosure and fairness, I'll start.
> When? I first remember my number in January.
> Weird stuff? This was around the time my friend Sam and I got lost in the Dead Zone of this city. We kind of parted ways soon after, and then I got my number. Also, I used to be extremely nearsighted; now I can see just fine. Unsure if events are correlated, but I'm noting it anyway.
Got it? Awesome. Now make yourselves useful.

But that doesn't make sense????
Ugh, okay, so, whatever this is is... I don't even know anymore
Point is, you remember when you got your number, or not? I'm gonna try to focus on the things that actually make sense, and not the fact that these numbers are apparently powered by magical space flowers or something.
(PS: shit I realized I didn't introduce myself I guess hi I'm Chris I teach engineering classes at a college and never sleep and am trying to get a degree how are you)

And yeah, I do. It was during a History Channel marathon a week ago, and before you ask, there wasn't anything else on at the time.
PS. I'm Robb. I'm majoring in Film and trying not to sleep through history. Hi, Chris.
derp edited before your edit IM GOOD
... also sometimes they have okay shows about world war II aircraft or big machines, when they're not being all "IT WAS ALIENS."
re: magical space flowers -- the kind of thing you'd see on the history channel. :P I dunno, it was the first thing to come to mind.
Anyway, thanks, that's actually really helpful.

Sounds like something out of a bad sci-fi show as well. And no worries, I'm glad to be of some help.
