Hi Windup - in preview I see you're one step ahead of me

But seriously, this ARG, or project, or mindfuc*, feels tainted - I've just read some old threads on the RI forum that have left rotten tastes in my mouth.

It'll take plenty beers to get right.

I'll give links if anyone is interested, though you can probably find those threads on your own.

I've decided not to actively participate in this any further. Lurk maybe. And so ends my first ARG experience. Happy Trails.

6 of Lovers. From Wikipedia:

Quote:

The Lovers represent the impulse that drives us out of the Garden, towards adulthood. Sometimes, that impulse manifests as curiosity (Eve, Pandora, Psyche); sometimes it manifests as sexual desire (most horror and teen movies); sometimes it manifests as duty (a soldier heeding the call). Whatever it is, once we have stepped past the threshold, there is no returning to the garden. The Lovers is associated through its cross sum (the sum of the digits) with The Devil, Key 15. He is often the source of the impulse, or that thing inside of us that responds to it. The Devil's energy is absolutely necessary, absolutely deadly. The Lovers also represent raw desire.

... goddan ... you and the other meddling kids online ... soebody ... soebody ... ore ...

I think we were already at WTF levels, now it's just nonsensical... Cut everything from that email except; "meddling kids" = constant epithet for the "mystery machine" gang by the bad guys on the Scooby-Doo show. Ties in w/ "scooby snacks" ("I would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for those meddling kids!") Also looks like his "m" key is failing, because it dropped out 4 times that I counted.

meta - We're getting a long way from the bits of the rabbit hole that enticed me in here. Close to throwing in the towel.

Wow... I wonder if all 38 were removed/altered. That would be a new one to me.

The 'second' time? When was the first?! During the first TT conversation? I still can't figure out what 'rule' we broke!

I adjusted the levels a bit in photoshop and it becomes apparent what letters we are supposed to focus on.

@windup: Dang, good catch on the Lenny thing. Seems Port isn't quite ready to merge into this one yet.

I almost want to say that 'demolay' doesn't have anything to do with the anagram, just because it leaves us with such limited and useless words for the rest of the letters. But I guess I wouldn't know how to narrow it down otherwise.

I count the bolded letters as:

Quote:

e i r a d e m o a l ! s g y

Taking out "DeMolay" you still have "e i r a ! s g"

http://wordsmith.org/anagram/anagram.cgi?anagram=eirags&t=1000

most likely looks like "DeMolay Is Rage!" ???

obvious Donny Darko refs here. Wasn't "it plays you" the tagline for EA's Majestic: the Game?

It doesn't say "contact jenny", it says "CONTACT 'LENNY' PRIOR TO THE FIRST DAY OF APRIL, 2009"

the little tags that have all been pulled off obviously say "TheG(ame)" and 415(phone number missing), where 415 = SF area code.

@grady - no. everything at that site appears to be down now, not just the black rabbit poems. hope that's a coincidence.

[Grady Martin]

I stopped at powell - i guess that's not a few blocks - sorry - no, I don't think a photo would help - the flyer's the important thing

windup - did you by any chance grab all of those black rabbit poems? - the header still displays at that poem site but all of the internal links give an http 500 server error
