I'll pack a dismembered heart, spine, chai latte and some yoga pants in dry ice as a tagalong package.

Snapped some pics of the pages not already posted ITT:
I don't know if I should post my own page or if it should be a surprise for the next person. Either way, I hope some people along the way like ciphers! I created a font based on binary conversions just to screw with you guys.

I am here to report that I've just sent my mailing address to Sub-Zero at a Starbucks. As soon as I receive it, I will update as to when I can send it on its way again. Currently between 2 cities dealing with a dental emergency, but I'll get it out soon enough. Can't wait to get the book!

HUELEN, I didn't know what name to put on the package so I just called you "Helen Tennyson." :lol
The soul vessel has been shipped! Should arrive Friday. My contributions were:
- Included a Hazlenut K-Cup in keeping with the "Cafetality" theme. First gaffer to receive the vessel with a working Keurig, feel free to use it!
- Addition to the NeoGAF Notebook logo:
- I don't think people realized it wasn't just an indiscriminate circle. Nobody else added to the logo!
- Left page.
- Right page.
To keep it as ARG-esque as possible, my binary-encoded cipher is a separate document, 4.75 pages long, enveloping the soul vessel itself like a taco shell. In the event that the encoded pages are damaged or otherwise misplaced, I'll upload them here.

Dude, first of all damn that is some work! Really like your stuff.
Second, I can't believe no one added to the logo! I had mentioned it to some and we had talked about it in the first few pages. Everyone from now on add to the logo! It was supposed to be filled in gradually by each person until we got the full hello and gold neogaf emblem done.
Lmao have people been signing the first page?

People have been signing but not logo-ing for some reason! :lol

I made a post with picks telling everyone to fill it in. I even suggested that someone more artistic than me change the header and logo outline if they want to! Haha oh well glad to see it's chugging along.

Fuuuuuuuck! This thing just keeps getting more amazing.
It really does. I've got a while before my turn, but I'm already getting performance anxiety. I can't draw, I'm not especially clever, and the bar is being set pretty high.

I'm not really a specialist, so I felt the same way when I was waiting for it. I think an important thing is to remember the sense of community and just how long-term this stuff is going to be. I included minimal, but multimedia stuff as my contribution as a way for different people to get different things out of my submission. I don't even know if people are going to be patient enough to decipher my attached message by the time this thing is said and done.

Have no fear about losing it in transit, for the book of lost souls NeoGAF Notebook has arrived!
Sadly I have to go right now, but I'll look at everything tonight, and get started tomorrow. Thanks for the coffee Sub-Zero, I'll need it! Let's see if I can ship this thing out by Tuesday.

By the time this thing makes it full circle, the ARG might actually direct to a tangible game. I think long-term.

I'd say keep them on your page. Abstract Alien (?)'s page before mine has a ton of stickers on it.
CarpeDeezNutz

I think we said if you put a sticker on the outside you take one page on the inside. Notebook looks clean without any stickers but I also like the idea of having stickers like the Florida one in your preview on the outside.

How's it coming, Huelen?

Pretty much done actually (So I only took a day longer than expected). Sent Tesseract a PM, but haven't received the address. Sub Zero, should I included your code leaflet as well, or is that or me? Regardless, like the k-cup (thanks!), I will be including something generous for the next person that cares for it.
User 73706

Keep the leaflet with the rest of the vessel, it's meant as an auxiliary to the thing.

I think it is reasonable for the future to request the next address as soon as the notebook is in your hands, that way we can cut down the wait time.
HUELEN10

That's just it, I PMed him Sunday, just 2 days after I got it. Will PM him again.
anonymous_abc

Hmm, Tesseract isn't banned. Hopefully he gets on it soon. If you haven't heard from him by Sunday we may have to call it.
Technically, Matt Attack and PrimaNocta are still just "Florida" on the map, so it might not even be the most efficient way to send it anyway.
HUELEN, send a PM to Matt Attack saying that you'll send it to him if you haven't heard from Tesseract by Sunday.
(Matt, if you're reading, give HUELEN your address
)

Okay. I got word from Tesseract yesterday that he'd give me his address in the next couple of days. It's almost Saturday and I've yet to get an update. I am going to PM Matt Attack right now because I am gonna be swamped next week. Regardless of where and who I send it to, this thing is getting shipped on Monday!

We should probably make a rule that once you get the soul vessel, PM the person you are supposed to mail it to, and if within a week you do not hear from them, move on to the next person on the list to move it along faster. If they slag off on replying they might do the same when they receive it.
Edit: also, HUELEN10 do you mind posting what you did?

holy crap i'm sorry guys, this project totally fell off my radar. i'm gonna have to opt out because i ain't gonna be in one spot long enough to retrieve the notebook and work on it.
sincerest apologies.
Thanks for the update you stream of consciousness bastard! Take care brah.

Bad news guys. Was gonna ship the Soul Vessel to Matt Attack today, but when I got to the post office (almost an hour ago), I found out that the APC Kiosk I always use is out of service. No other local branches nearby are currently open either, so I will have to go to the other branch tomorrow instead. My apologies for this slight delay, but I had no way of knowing that it would be down. It should still arrive at Matt Attack's place at Friday at the latest if I get it taken care of before 3 though (which will allow me to bypass the kiosk entirely).

"Things happen!" should be the soul vessel's official tagline.

And one of these days I will actually update the tumblr...At least we are being kept up to date.

I blame having something I have to go to [practically] everyday after work. Yeah, that's what prevents me from doing it on weekends.

Oh crap, I totally forgot to post what I did, didn't I? Well for starters, I signed and doodled the logo. Still in the gray part of the logo (gray and orange people, gray and orange!) So I doodled a miffed Marigold in it; why not?
Anyways, as I started packing the book back I noticed something concerning... Besada's Disc, my tag, and the bookmarks and paper clips were starting to force the binding from the cover! I didn't want to do this, but I wanted the book to be safe, so I put the disc, the bookmarks, and the tag in a separate envelope inside the box. Nothing has been removed from the box, but I didn't want the book to get damaged. I leave what happens next entirely up to Ourobolus and Matt Attack. TLDR; we need to keep the thickness of our stuff down!
Anywho, back to the book!
Included with the prior stuff, and the tag and map (BTW, first non Florida GAFer keeps the tag!) is something generous. If it's not your thing Matt Attack, send it off; someone's bound to enjoy it.
Anywho, this thing was a blast. I can't wait for it to be complete. Won't that be awesome?

The first page is an intro to Florida, the F in GAF! The QR code links to a page in development which will have stuff from that map I included (which, like the binary supplement should be passed for a while.) in more detail, as well as cool locations near any GAFer who's a part of this who wants places they like featured. For example, someone in NYC might know about a cool little-known place that they frequent, and it could go there.
Page 2 is just random thoughts, facts, and wackiness. Can YOU solve the word search? If no one gets all 10, I'll post what they are as well as locations.

I was worried this would start happening. Yeah - it's cool that people add things, but maybe just keep the extras in the envelope for now (make sure to label your stuff!).
