Hints from Gordon Currie on Sunday, March 11th, 2001 in Cyan Chat (excerpt):

[GordonCurrie] Getting ready for the big O tommorrow
[Blue Sky] How are you feeling...?
[GordonCurrie] Hey, if I feel better...I will be a better web guy
[GordonCurrie] Maybe I should just tell you guys all I know in the event I don't make it......what do you think?
[Blue Sky] Go on then...
[GordonCurrie] I could tell you the water thing George has been hinting at......that maybe its true ..but you guys already figured that out from UBISOFTs release
[lonelyto25] I want to know... is that REALLY hair, or is Brad Dourif wearing a wig?
[GordonCurrie] Brad is wearing a wig I beleive...but I really don't know for sure. He has really long hair right now...
[wyatt] brad who
[GordonCurrie] Better tell him who Brad is..
[GordonCurrie] Did you guys visit the secret journal pages at Myst3.com with the chimes in the background?
[Blue Sky] Still want to know where you got your RG t-shirt from, Lonely...
[lonelyto25] small l. Gordon gave it to me at Mysterium
[GordonCurrie] Another benefit of attending the Mysterium....gord gets drunk on Dni juice and gives stuff away! LOL
[Blue Sky] How long's the op, Gordon...? :o(
[GordonCurrie] The OP is 90 mins
[GordonCurrie] Salar, I have some more tips and ideas for you guys to explore while I am in the hospital....okay
[Salar :)] Okay .. we will be delighted to research them
[GordonCurrie] The secret journals that are up at Myst3.com ( the ones with the chime music )...
[GordonCurrie] Few people have really analyzed these journals. They are legit and have hidden in them material that is VERY cool .
[GordonCurrie] Go in and look at the last journal ( with the heart shaped pendant thing ).
[GordonCurrie] Also, look at the writing style, note the changes in the style and ALL keywords. Note certain patterns
[GordonCurrie] No one yet has ever figured out what is in those journals. They were not figments of my imagination but writings from someone very special
[GordonCurrie] The journals with the page truning sounds have clues that relate to me and GRID. The separate set of journals ( lets call them the chime journals ) are VERY special.
[Dar'nay (again)] I still have my notes from the M3 journals, Salar and I went through them with a fine toothed comb :)
[Blue Sky] This is getting confusing...is this Exile, or GRID, or both...?
[Salar :)] I studied the early ones..but I admit I havent thoroughtly examined them in recent days
[GordonCurrie] The MYST3 site has both GRID and EXILE stuff but I had to ensure that people realized that some journals were legit to the game and written by a special person. Hours went into the writing to ensure information was placed properly.
[Dar'nay (again)] *grins* you and I Salar should sit down and do our usual job of decompiling them pixel by pixe, word by word
[GordonCurrie] The journals have a special style....for a reason
[Blue Sky] A "special person"...hmm...do we ever find out who that special person is...?
[Blue Max] I guess a handwriting analysis is in order then...
[GordonCurrie] You may actually meet that person one day....
[Blue Sky] In real life or a computer game..?
[Salar :)] at Mysterium?
[GordonCurrie] The handwriting will not tell you much....but the clues within will.
[GordonCurrie] Blue: maybe in both...
[Blue Sky] Really? both...? But you were thinking of the game though, weren't you...
[GordonCurrie] I have to tell you all that much was hidden in the site and yet I was told never to give it all away. Some may NEVER find it....until they play the game. It will not hurt the game but provide additional insight for possible future.....projects
[Blue Sky] Ooh...future projects...anything to do with MYST IV, perchance...?
[GordonCurrie] Any interesting possibility.... :+))
[lonelyto25] I don't suppose we'll have to look up each word individually to understand it, will we?
[GordonCurrie] No looking up words.....more pattern recognition.
[GordonCurrie] I have to run but I am going to give out one more clue.....
[GordonCurrie] Recently we setup a new directory on the MYST3 server that was up for 4 days. It had some inside info that anyone could have got if they guessed the directory. When I get back from my operations, I will add a few secret pages but I will never make them public. Watch for this in about 12 days.
[GordonCurrie] The directory tied to the website dailyradar
[GordonCurrie] Talk to you guys when I get out of the hospital.
