Is Someone Messing with Me?

ZackAttack: Remember those scripts I set up to scan for Flynn stuff? Because I found something pretty weird the other day.
1/22/2009 2:25:02 PM
SkateItOut: You mean the ones you implemented like five years ago?
1/22/2009 2:57:58 PM
ZackAttack: It's been longer then that, but yeah... Judge for yourself: http://qm6k3pshu8rr302kv6xej8p72s.net/default.htm
1/22/2009 3:09:53 PM
DonutLuvver: Whoa! What is that?
1/22/2009 3:31:57 PM
ZackAttack: Looks like a lightcycle to me.
1/22/2009 3:33:10 PM
MeganRules: And what’s up with that funky URL? I'm putting my codebreaker hat on, but I'm not seeing a pattern emerge
1/22/2009 3:38:07 PM
ZackAttack: There is none - believe me. I grew a full beard and lost ten pounds sitting here trying to find one. It doesn’t exist.
1/22/2009 3:49:43 PM
CindyGirl: So, why would all this stuff be showing up now?
1/22/2009 4:17:07 PM
RecycleOrDie: It’s a real mind-warper.
1/22/2009 4:33:17 PM
JustTheFacts: I don't buy it - total fraud.
1/22/2009 4:52:15 PM
ZackAttack: That's why I want to know where these images came from. It wasn't one of you guys playing a prank?
1/22/2009 5:08:22 PM
MeganRules: You're giving us a lot of credit, there. These look like Flynn's designs to me.
1/22/2009 5:29:37 PM
RecycleOrDie: To reiterate: it's a real mind-warper.


Two Decade, No Slowing Down

JuniorG: I can't believe that this is the 20th anniversary of Flynn's disappearance. It seems like he's still around - in our computers, in our imagination, in our hearts.
3/3/2009 8:42:12 PM
KingSeth: Well said.
3/3/2009 9:15:36 PM
CindyGirl: You want a real blast from the past? Check it:
3/3/2009 9:34:41 PM
RecycleOrDie: Radical! That's the issue where he basically predicted that we would all be relying on GPS in ten years, right?
3/3/2009 9:50:57 PM
ISOlatedThinker: Yup - the world was a few years behind Mr. Flynn, but he was right on the money.


OK, It's No Coincidence, they're lightcycles

thread

3/26/2009 2:58:42 PM
Admin: Zack, I found one, too - look at this: http://n8xd93f2rk077px1n6wdq839m0.net
3/26/2009 3:23:52 PM
ZackAttack: Man, I don't know whether to be freaked out or encouraged.
3/26/2009 3:40:15 PM
MeganRules: Let's go with encouraged. We've been searching for this kind of confirmation for years, right?
3/26/2009 3:49:02 PM
ZackAttack: But, this might be another dead-end. And the last thing we need is more disappointment.
3/26/2009 5:02:09 PM
JuniorG: I don't know how you can put "lightcycles from the beyond" and "disappointment" in the same thread. We're on to something, folks!
3/26/2009 6:46:02 PM
DonutLuvver: I'm with you, Junior - I read "Digital Frontier" (about 12 times) and Flynn described how lightcycles would move in the real world. This is straight out of his book.
3/26/2009 6:53:38 PM
JuniorG: You only read it 12 times? Slacker.


Game On!

ZackAttack: OK, call me crazy (most people do), but I was thinking that we should hold an event to honor Kevin Flynn and remind everyone of his accomplishments - he's out there, I can feel it in my guts.
7/12/2009 1:07:54 PM
RecycleOrDie: Definitely, something's up - those lightcycle sites just keep messing with my head
7/12/2009 1:24:01 PM
AnonymousPete: We've got to spread the word about these finds. Let's get something together. When?
7/12/2009 1:51:28 PM
ZackAttack: Should be something to commemorate the 20-year anniversary of Flynn's disappearance.
7/12/2009 2:06:13 PM
AnonymousPete: Isn't that coming right up?
7/12/2009 2:25:53 PM
ZackAttack: Yup - we better get crackin'. I'm already working on a little something special to show off at the event.

Flynn's Arcade Rocked in a Major Way

thread

7/28/2009 6:42:21 PM
DonutLuvver: I can't believe I got to visit Flynn's Arcade. And I got some sick pictures, too!



7/28/2009 6:43:07 PM
MeganRules: Yeah, it was quite a turnout - good to see y'all there.
7/28/2009 7:50:38 PM
SkateItOut: That invisible ink blew my mind - never seen anything like it before
7/28/2009 8:17:35 PM
RecycleOrDie: You've never seen a blacklight?
7/28/2009 8:29:32 PM
SkateItOut: Just on TV - y'know that show where they investigate crime scenes? I forget the title.
7/28/2009 9:55:42 PM
ZackAttack: I can't believe you guys are talking about TV and blacklight posters - there's a bigger picture here. We obviously have momentum on our side - the numbers at the arcade event spoke for themselves. We can't just let this energy dissipate. Our new members are ready for action.
7/28/2009 9:59:45 PM
Gamer4Life: Yeah, I joined up the minute I got home from the arcade.
7/28/2009 10:06:34 PM
BrettPro: Me, too!
7/28/2009 10:09:39 PM
MeganRules: Great to have you guys aboard. So, what's the next step, Zack?
7/29/2009 12:08:38 AM
ZackAttack: Still formulating a plan. Just be ready for anything.

EncomInternational - What's Their Deal?

thread

2/23/2010 10:08:55 AM
SkateItOut: Sure, they make cool games, but they also spend all this time developing, like, math programs, networking solutions, "synergy" and other stuff I don't care about. Borrrrring. Zzzzzzzz (that's me snoring because they put me to sleep).
2/23/2010 11:19:02 AM
JuanStar: But, the Encom of the 80's was a whole different story. Real innovation, a connection with the audience - in short, it was Kevin Flynn's Encom.
2/23/2010 11:56:42 AM
RecycleOrDie: Then he was gone and Encom became one of the world's biggest polluters - 4.2 million tons of toxic waste per year, to be exact. Luckily, Alan Bradley stepped in and reduced their carbon footprint.
2/23/2010 1:04:27 PM
MeganRules: Too bad Encom had already pushed Bradley aside as their CEO - he might have been able to prevent them from becoming the soulless, money-grubbing mega-conglomerate that it is today.
2/23/2010 3:41:26 PM
RecycleOrDie: True, but we can't rely on the scant few activists like Alan Bradley to do things for us; we need to rally in the streets, stand up and raise our voices.
2/23/2010 4:24:00 PM
SkateItOut: Last word!
2/23/2010 5:26:31 PM

KEVIN FLYNN NOT JUST FUN AND GAMES

thread

ISOlatedThinker: So everyone here knows that Kevin Flynn isn't just the guy who created Tron right?
3/7/2010 2:50:37 PM
Gamer4Life: Wait. He's not the guy who created TRON? I mean, cause that's why I'm here. So if he's not the guy who created TRON, I am outta here...
3/7/2010 3:18:15 PM
ISOlatedThinker: No. I said, Kevin Flynn is MORE than just THE GUY WHO CREATED TRON. He's also a designer, an artist, a philosopher, an author...
3/7/2010 3:23:12 PM
MeganRules: ...a hottie...
3/7/2010 3:39:36 PM
ISOlatedThinker: Never seemed to really play the playboy card.
3/7/2010 4:03:17 PM
RecycleOrDie: But he was the soul of Encom (when they actually HAD a soul, that is). Now they're just a profit monster. Unfortunately, I sold my stock in the company out of principle.
3/7/2010 4:07:57 PM
SkateItOut: Hippie McGee? You owned stock?
3/9/2010 4:12:21 PM
RecycleOrDie: I told you not to call me that. And yes - I played the market once upon a time. Here's a page from an old stock prospectus that shows just how emotionless the bigwigs at Encom really are:

Encom International Begins a New Era
The business world was stunned today to learn that former programming guru Alan Bradley has regained his prominent role on the board of Encom International, the corporation that chewed him up and spit him out just a few short years ago.

In 1989, after Kevin Flynn mysteriously vanished without a trace, Bradley was thrust into the position of CEO at the world's largest software company, but the results were mixed at best. Due to a lack of confidence in Bradley's leadership abilities (a sentiment that was nurtured by Encom's board of trustees at the time), stock prices continued to fall. Without Kevin Flynn at the helm, what was the gaming giant to do?

The answer: blame Alan Bradley for Encom's woes and pressure him to step down. The company had already admitted that a significant portion of company profits had been sunk into an undisclosed, incomplete project under Kevin Flynn. Syspicion, lagging sales and impending failure - that was the Encom that Alan Bradley inherited 20 years ago, and the situation was dire.

It wasn't Bradley's fault that America was suffering through a recession at the turn of the decade, making a swift return-to-form nearly impossible for the tech conglomerate. Also, the public had already embraced Kevin as the face of Encom, so his disappearance had devastating effects on consumers around the globe. Flynn's unique vision transcended earnings projections, prospectus data, and other market research. Nobody could have filled his shoes - not even his best friend, Alan Bradley.

But apparently, that's all water under the multi-billion dollar bridge. Bradley stayed on as a silent partner in the corporation, spearheading various projects that have not yet seen the light of day. Meanwhile, Encom's portfolio is as robust as ever and current CEO Kurt Hardington is ready to come to terms with his company's turbulent past by welcoming Mr. Bradley back into the fold. "His focus on sustainability was years ahead of its time," commented Hardington. "Conservation, integration, massive streamlining initiatives - I don't know where he gets his ideas, but I just hope they keep on coming."

As of press time, Alan Bradley had not issues an official statement.

Stock Prospectus for Fiscal Year 1990

Total common shares available for trade: 4,100,000
Current trading value per share (approximate): $235.00

Statement to Shareholders:

Admittedly, the past year has been a turbulent time for Encom, but trends are beginning to shift in our caompany's favor. We have finally identified the source of our excessive losses over the past few years: former CEO Kevin Flynn was siphoning massive development funds for a pet project, the nature of which he never divulged to either the board or his core management team. Even after a thorough investigation into Flynn's records, we have found no concrete evidence that such a project actually exists (which means we have to consider the possibility of embezzlement as the money just seem to have vanished, much like Flynn himself). The board in unanimous in our resolve to make these facts known and hope we can shine some light on the confusion around his disappearance.

With the search for Mr. Flynn safely in the hands of the appropriate law enforcement personnel, we have suspended our private search for his whereabouts. We now turn our attention to a new era of prosperity and financial security for our global company, Encom International. New accounting procedures and controls have been put into place to assure investors that no funds are being allocated for speculative new programs without the proper due diligence.

While our former CEO saw great potential in the future of technology, Encom has also focused for the past few years on identifying human potential and recruiting top talent. We have great representative at every level to meet the challenges ahead, and the company is safe in their hands.
