So Sylvia what did you think?

Well jeese guys, you all really know how to make a person feel good. Maybe there should be another rule that says, if the only reason you intend to post in a thread is to bad mouth someone, then don't post. Oh well, for anyone who wants to follow along here's what comes next.

After going too the beginning of the end and listening to the two mp3s

Hello. Is it on? Listen, I have strick orders not to say much but I will tell you one thing. This man is dangerous. He has the ability to change everything. I'm part of an organization that can help you. Just remember do not anger this man. Work with him. Give him what he wants for now. I will keep in contact. Oh, don't forget to switch to the first message. (end transmission)

Yes, you are almost finished for today. I just need you to answer this question. I came up with a name to call all of you. From here on out you answer to Suicidal Yore Imp. What does this name mean? Make sure you jot this name down. I see you can spell Suicidal. I'll spell the other two words out for you. Y as in yesterday. O. R as in Randy. E as in Ethan and I. M as in Mary. P as in Protect. You have your names now.

In the source code you will see

which leads to

http://www.thegatereaction.com/suicidalyoreimp/ In the source code you realize you need to anagram and the result will be 4 words which are "I am your disciple." That takes you to: http://www.thegatereaction.com/iamyourdisciple/

You are mine now wrote:

Spoiler (Rollover to View): You have finally reached the last phase of the game. It was festive, don't you agree? I have one last task for you, in honor of the anniversary. I want you to take a picture of anything with the words 'I am your disciple' written on it and send it in to me, to show your dedication. The picture can be of anything you can imagine, as long as the words are visible. Hopefully you have a large imagination, as I appreciate creativity. I am in your debt. Sincerely, Bowty. bowty25SPLATgmail.com P.S. Those who have completed all of these game tasks will be contacted again when the next stage is placed before you.

That's were I'm at now. I'll try to fix an image and send it in.

Double agreed.

It could easily be both.
The public may be busy with other games or real life. (People have those? Surprising to me too.)

Also marketing the game can be done in MUCH better ways if you took the time to think about it instead of rushing your game out the door anxiously.

That said, I'm sure Bowty will not post here again.

I completely agree. There are not many rules on Unfiction, but this is one and we are very particular about it. And apart from it being a rule, it also boils pretty much down to this:

If not enough people become interested in your game, does the flaw lie with the potential public, or with (the way you marketed) your game?

Looks like we got a warning and a name to call ourselves. Go suicidal yore imps?

Edited to add how he spells the last two words

[TVRotBrain]

Before the extra "hint" came out...

Spoiler text because it was used earlier.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

I had tried 543 and 443. Neither worked for me. I tried using line by line because of the ends in each sentence. 543 didn't work because either he miscounted or we were only suppose to count starting W's. After the hint, they both worked.

I guess my point is, if you choose to pursue this, don't be surprised if there comes a time when you think you have the right answer but it doesn't seem to work. Ecspecially if a lot of people agree with you. Post about it and I'm sure it will be fixed. We are probably the first people outside of the OP and his friends to go through it.

[MrToasty]

Did I hear someone summon me?
I haven't listened to the file much, so I'm just going on what Sylvia transcribed.

Correct except for one extra two at the end.

This does translate to Morse (1=dash, 2=dot)

Code:

- .... . / -... . --. .. -. -. .. -. --. / --- ..-. / - .... . / . -. -..

THE BEGINNING OF THE END

[Sylvia]

Thanks Will for understanding. I corrected the code above to what I believe is the correct code. But one more thing I want to say. If a bunch of us had of gotten upset because the PM posted in there thread the would have been a very good arg that would have been missed. "Findings Cedars Rapids," hey it made the hot list on ARGN.com.

I understand your point. I personally don't like the idea of the PM posting here to lead his/her game along. Violation of ToS and shows uncreativity in his/her drive to bring people in.

But you've convinced me. I don't know much in the morse field but I'm in. But a word to Bowty; do not post here anymore. If you have questions you can contact the admins. While not managing web pages and puzzles, see if you can find creative ways to draw people in.

Take the morse part back just finished listen to it and it has a code that uses the numbers 1 and 2, I think, and dashes and spaces. Could use some help.

Will, if everyone waited for someone else to initiate interaction, there would be no args. I'm sure most PMs started out tasteless at some point. You never know, you may be overlooking a diamond in the rough.

[Will 2.0]

A bit tasteless in his desperation to save his game but who wouldn't.

I'll become interested when I see some interaction.

[Sylvia]

I haven't looked at the myspace page yet. Went straight to http://www.thegatereaction.com/ then to http://www.thegatereaction.com/julie.html

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

from the source you count the w for each line wwwww = 5 wwww = 4 www = 3 which gives http://www.thegatereaction.com/543/ but takes you to http://www.thegatereaction.com/443/ Where you find a link to http://www.thegatereaction.com/443/Gqyzcjjy which is rot 2 for Isabella and takes you to http://www.thegatereaction.com/443/Isabella here you find some binary 01101110 01101111 01110100 01110111 01101000 01100001 01110100 01101001 01110100 01110011 01100101 01100101 01101101 01110011 00101110 01101101 01110000 00110011 which is notwhatitseems.mp3 which takes you to http://www.thegatereaction.com/443/Isabella/notwhatitseems.mp3 which sounds like it might be morse code slowed way down. That's all I can do tonight. I hear MrToasty is good at morse. and natas if you can slow it down you can speed it up.

As far as I'm concerned, give the guy a chance.

I must have overlooked it TV... where is it?
