My name is Will, I'm 34 and live in NC. You'll find me in the sitting room under the pseudonym W.R. Lawrence. It's a mix of my name and my favorite writer T.E. Lawrence. I found MPC back in December and it unlocked a side of me I hadn't seen in years. Since then I have been getting into back into mysteries and puzzles. I purchased S. by Doug Dorst/JJ Abrams recently and have been working through it any chance I get. If there is anyone else reading it I'd love to discuss it with you! I've also been working on the first set of C&C and intend to pick up the second set soon. I'm signed up for the next Volume and look forward to working through it with y'all soon.

Hello,
My Name is Lukas aka UCJAgent, aka Arthur Unknown. I love Alternate Reality Games. I found out about ARG's through a Youtube channel called SourceFed. They did a story on "The Niantic Project" a few days after it started and I have been hooked ever since. I even flew to San Fran to be part of one of their live events.
I live in a South West Suburb of Chicago IL. I love dark and mysterious puzzles, and meeting new people who like working on the same. I am on Unforums daily to try to find my next "thing" to do.
I have always wanted to try MPC but it was way out of my price range. When I saw that MEC started for a $30 dollar price tag monthly I jumped on board.

Hi! I'm Kate and I'm a nerd. I live in eastern Pennsylvania/NJ with my orange cat, Fat Tony. I knit, and spin, and watch Liverpool football, and quilt, and geocache, and I make the best sour cherry pie you've ever put into your mouth. I'm short and round and I wear cardigans a lot, and I'm a Ravenclaw, and I drink all the scotch. Oh, and I'm a combat veteran. I'm *almost* caught up on C&C, and I'm so sad it took me two years to find it. I'm glad I can jump into Volume 3 from the first issue.

Hopefully LVG won't botch it too badly for us... BTW what theater did you serve in? I was a DoD contractor in Iraq from 05-07. |

I'm a little disappointed we're meeting you so early in the rounds, I think a later matchup would have been better, but you haven't fired Van Gaal yet and United are playing like crap lately. Not that we're either consistently crap or consistently good ourselves... And I'm so in love with Jurgen Klopp I can't even take it. |

With the injury list we have it will make things interesting. I actually picked up the interest in the Premier League while working down in Basara with the Brits. Managed to catch a game at Old Trafford before I got home. It definitely was the field of dreams... |

This is only my first full season watching- but the car I bought two weeks ago is called Gerrard! |

Hello! I'm Tim from San Antonio, TX! I'm a high school Latin teacher and musician. I enjoy video games, reading fiction, Classics, NBA basketball, urban legends, cryptozoology, sci-fi, fantasy, superheroes, and psychological thrillers! I'm so excited to have received my first issue of Curios & Conundrums! I've had an interest in ARGs ever since watching Michael Douglas in The Game, but I always seemed to miss the opportunities to engage. I forgot about ARGs for a time until I watched The Institute on Netflix! After liking a few pages on Facebook, the ad targeting mechanism pointed me toward the MPC! I really look forward to the experience of solving the various puzzles!

Greetings. My name is Josh and I hail from the south-eastern portion of Pennsylvania (Philly burbs). I am a fan of good fiction, theater (I stage manage and make props for a hs theater), good music, fine scotch. I got into MPC not only because of the mystery of the stories but the detail that they put into their experiences really caught my attention. I have been slowly working through the first back order of C&C and trying to now keep up with volume 3. Sadly C&C is presently competing with Monty Python and my need to assemble a working Black Knight, so I am not able dive in nearly as much as I would like at this moment.

Lord Kensington - I do share your love of Monty Python however clearly not to the extent you do. I'm working back issues as well but volume 2 has taken a back seat to the current volume. If ever you want to sleuth out some works you've got someone to bounce your theories off of here

Hey Pals,
My name is Matt, and I'm in Wisconsin. The nickname Senator was one I got in college (short version: on orientation day, one of the other freshmen called me that because of my verbal scores on the tests. For transparency's sake, I want to be clear that our table was not exactly Algonquin Round Table caliber) and I used to use it as my IRC handle when I used to haunt the X-Files channels back in 93 (#XF woot!). I don't nearly get enough time to get my proper nerd on: Star Wars, Lovecraft, Doctor Who, Torchwood, Sandman, Lucifer (the comic), Ghostbusters, Big Trouble in Little China, The X-Files, Millennium, a bunch of Hong Kong Action Cinema, horror novels, cheesy hard case crime pulps, stuff like that. Online tests (which are never fallible) say I would be a "grey jedi" and have an orange lightsaber. The official sorting hat page says that, like k8, I am a Ravenclaw (holla if you hear me!). My spirit animal is the Inspirational Tardigrade.
And I like to cook. I love the tools of the kitchen, the magic of a perfect seafood and mushroom risotto, and the legerdemain of saute, deglaze, and reduction. And yet, if I'm not cooking for others and just myself, I'm totally into hot pretzels and nukable pizza. Chili dogs are my weakness. Like an old flame you know is no good for you, but you can never tell her "no".

Hello fellow sleuths. I'm Rob, a software engineer in Seattle. My wife is the one who found out about MPC and signed me up for the quarterly C&C subscription starting with Volume 3. We've got two daughters (4 and 14), two french bulldogs, and four cats. I like all the standard nerdy things (Star Wars, Monty Python, BSG, GoT, all things Whedon) and I used to be a huge conspiracy nut, so the first issue of C&C has been like crack for me.
BourbonInExile is a reference to the fact that though I haven't spent more than a few consecutive days in the state of my birth in more than a decade, I'm still a Kentucky boy at heart and I have the liquor collection to prove it.
I'm looking forward to getting to the bottom of all the C&C mysteries.
