Eeeeh... the idea has potential, but it just seems so lacking in context that it feels too fake.

seriously, what the fuck is this?

how are you even supposed to "play"? I mean, with most ARGs, I can at LEAST figure out where the puzzle or whatever is, but this is just weird...

I think the lack of explanation is supposed to make it seem creepy, but it just makes it seem pointless and lame instead.

What the fuck are the words.

Robert 'The fagface' Ruckman?

Needs more username and password

didn't know it was a game. I like Robert's character.

/r/ username/pass?

Try sending him an e-mail

>>742898
Just sent him one.

This is, in fact, an ARG.

Something Awful covered it a little, from what I can gather something happens on June24.

Who's up for following it?

>>742901
What did you write?

I'm really digging this.

>>742952
Just a test e-mail to see what kind of response I get.

I asked him about what happened with Steven that got him suspended.

To see if he remains in character or anything

He's been bombarded with e-mails for the past 2 days.
He'll either yell at you, speak in codes, or bible verses.
And be a dick.
Tomorrow something is going to happen.
I think he has Mary.

There's some writing on the last note. I can see series 4 of 5 pretty clearly. Some other stuff in there.

Could the password have something to do with Ben? I mean, it's "in memory" right? And that Ben kid is dead.

I don't know where the 8 came from I think it makes more sense without it but it isn't 4 lines of 4 characters.

>>743075
8 is a period.

>>743040
I thought of that too, didn't work

I'm in on this shit.

-TripleBam

>>743118
Me too. Like white on rice.

Well I think I feel really comfortable with it being 11pm cst. That would be midnight between the 24th and 25th in eastern time without having to go into much detail as to which day you mean.

And he's apparently been reading forums about this and posting responses. So maybe we should email him telling him we read about it here.

I don't get it, is stopping Robert the point of the game? Or are we all just hanging around to see what happens next?

>>743122

I can't wait 'til tomorrow. I wanna know what happens. D:

>>743175
same here, for some reason the thought of something happening to Mary is making me ill D:

Hm. Robert seems to have gone to bed :\

http://www.flickr.com/photos/27873566@N07/2601882376/
no he hasn't.

Ok, I sent him an email telling him we were talking about it here, did anyone else do that or did I somehow open up the 5th venue?

>>743395
Yeah I did. He didn't respond but I guess he paid some attention.

>>743395
It's been mentioned a few times that 4chan, /b/, or /x/ were all pretty good candidates for a new venue, and this thread was linked in particular to the 4th venue.

Yeah, I didn't get a response either. Figured I'd start using a tripcode so he could see the people he's gotten emails from are involved.

Incidentally I'm getting page load errors anyone else?

Oh, and bri/x/ were shat at unifiction when they found out we were the 5th venue.

someone sticky this shit, nao

One must ask one's self: can you own these thoughts if they can be sold?

We all secretly wish to be spoken to- not for fear of detection, for that had happened a very long time ago, but rather, to know that these words are intended for them and theirs only.

Don't gaze the stars

Ok, everyone needs to open up each of the 5 venues, he's passing out information through emails to be posted in each venue.

>>743409
They did seem terribly disappointed, didn't they? Hah, they probably wanted it to be some faggy roleplaying forum.

Is it just me, or are the sites chosen as venues extremely different in format? Like, more than just different in the subject/audience, but different in the format/style, too? It makes sense that one of the chans would be chosen, then, instead of another webforum.

That's what he sent me. Hopefully we can piece this together first I guess.

>>743426
also, the advantage of an anonymous forum (and I'm just guessing here) would be that Robert/Cecilla/someone else could dick around with this venue and no one would ever know

he could, but he'd have a hell of a time making his messages legit.

Does anyone feel like giving a summary on the notes? TL; DR;

What I got so far - mary is a whore and rob is butthurt because steven got a piece.

>>743483
point taken.
But I'm still confused by the motive here. Why is he giving us this information? Does he want us to save her, or does he want us to watch her burn? Or is there something else entirely pulling the strings behind this?

...welp, I guess that's the point of it all :/ I'm not sm3rt enough to really help out, so I'll just go back to lurking and F5'ing.

does this remind anyone of deathnoteonline?

>>743487
You can't solve the puzzles with just a summary. It's only when people get really in-depth with it that anyone seems to get any clues. You've got to nit-pick the hell out of those notes, it seems.

>>743460
These are fake. Robert didn't loop through the alphabet. He used an ascii table. the second to last letter would go into symbols but anon's inention is for it to loop and be a t.

Where did 10 come from?

>>743593
Unifiction. There's a guy on SA who has 2/20 but he's holding it until the missing piece of series 3 is revealed.

The idea is that you use the odd numbers to work as the cipher for the even letters. By shifting your way up through the alphabet.

And right now we're waiting on all of these to come in, it looks like Robert is mailing them to people who mailed him. When they're all collected they'll probably spell out the next big piece.

10 is from Shrinn @ Evil Avatar

note 3 looks like it was folded in the typical paper airplane.

So does this mean we need three more tripfags to actively play in order to get our allotment of 4 clues?

Not sure. I didn't get my email until I tripfagged. I think if push came to shove he'd just mail them to someone. I'm hoping people emailing him from 4chan are smart enough to use disposable emails. I just picked a trip similar to the email I used.

>>743744
Looks like we're supposed to work together.

I hope not.

>>743744
No, we're supposed to be working together. I don't think very many of the players are feeling competitive, anyway; with the puzzle shattering into smaller pieces the further we fall down this rabbit hole, it doesn't take a genius to realize that hoarding results is going to get us nowhere.

The theory from SA... asterisks mean gueses

BenWillG
etHisRev *
engeThen *
WhenTheT *
imeIsRig
htIWillA *
llowEntr
yInto??? * - memory? the memory? There's a fair bit left beyond here so it's hard to speculate.

>>743790
That's a whole lot of guessing.

>>743794

nothing to do but guess until we get more clues, right?

>>743794
Agreed.

>>743797
The only way to get more clues is to ask for more clues. Think outside the box, and send a tonne of e-mails.

Try e-mailing him and saying you are from 4-chan, and address P!R instead of Robert.

>>743806
I just did. Let's see if it works

>>743794
WhenTheT is obvious because the next line is 'imeIsRig'. First line is BenWillG and the next lines 'etHisRev' 'enge???' make sense because Ben getting his revenge has already been mentioned.

Finally, the line two after says 'llowEntr' so it makes sense if it's 'htIWillA' before that.

Robert has logged off his myspace, how can we tell if he's still watching or not?

The Myspace is definitely not him; I messaged them and whoever created it said they did so because they thought that might be the next venue.

According to g-mail it still shows him as being online. I doubt the myspace is really him anyway, unless I missed where that was confirmed?

>>743834
I'm pretty sure he's still online.

>>743835
Yeah, he's still sending his creepy e-mails out.

Your withholder, may he realize the error of his ways.

-P!R

Okay, so from what I understand, this "Notes To Mary" thing is supposed to be a puzzle, right?

Well, besides cryptograms, what the hell is the point?

Once we put all the pieces together, what's the whole picture supposed to look like? And even if we look at the big picture, what will it mean, and what can we about the "game" with it?

Chances are it'll try to sell us something at the end, but whatever I'm having fun.

Well, I guess I can't complain if you're doing it for fun, but just to warn all of you, don't get disappointed if the ending is utter crap, and you did all that hard work for nothing. . .

Finally, we get to work together. Glad I hopped on this in the beginning.

>>743986
After enough hype, almost any ending is disappointing.

It's still fun, though.

I've got nothing for sale. You are enjoying the ride though, maybe? I think the price is right, too. Certainly.

>>743995
Post a clue here. Its late and the quest has slowed down we need something to get things going again.

i shat bri/x/

>>744006
That would be pointless. How could you verify the legitimacy? That is the nature of this beast, though.

There is more to come, though. The night shift needs something to keep busy, eh? Most definitely.

>>744013
I'm glad to see you have the night shift at heart.

Give us something, even if we cannot verify the legitimacy. You know as well as all of us that if it is legitimate, it will prove itself to be. If it is not, we will know.

>>744013
Same way anything can be verified here. Its either right and works and makes sense or its complete bullshit and should be ignored.

Tell us the difference between R!P and P!R.

>>744022
The difference is easy.

Who or what is P?

>>744025
P is R without a leg.

>>744027
So P is R after a tragic boating accident? Or...a motorcycle crash?

>>743995
Tell me, P!R. What happened to Ben? How did he die? Who was involved?

>>744027
A woman?

>>744029
P is R after a disaster. A death, perhaps. P is what remains of R; not entirely stable, but attempting to remain standing. P is angry.

>>744035
I think you've got your characters mixed. P is the more stable of P and R.

Has anyone thought that, maybe, Cecilla is cancer? Like, the disease?

'She is what she is'. Her sign is Cancer, correct?

He has made mention to her being ceaseless despite his efforts to stop it...

>>744056

I like that theory. Maybe cancer was what killed Ben.

>>744059
That's what I was thinking. I was thinking about how Ben died, and the thought of 'cancer' entered my head. It was a series of steps from there to Cecilla.

Anything in what we have to corroborate this?

in b4 A Christmas Story "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine."

dkiy translates to 'digs'

In series 3 of 5, that would mean:

1/4 = user
2/4 = pass
3/4 = mary
4/4 = digs

i tried mary/digs as username/pass but it didnt work. any ideas?

>>744067
I thought it was 'dies'

wat

>>744067

"dies"
maybe it's ony accessible tomorrow

Ben died in a car crash. From what we've been able to gather Cecilla is more of an idea than an actual person. He's stated before she is "involved in all deaths." Whenever anyone is wrong he also says we are in league with Cecilla. Running theory is that she stands for blindness, being led astray. I'm not sure if that has been confirmed though..

YES HE WAS NICE. UNTIL SOME BITCH IN AN SUV PLOWED IN TO HIS MOTORCYCLE ON THE FREEWAY. HE WAS LIKE A BROTHER TO ME. I... MARY NEEDED SOMEONE. MARY NEEDED ME TO COMFORT HER. FUCK YOU.

Did it ever occur to anyone that if you combine a a couple parts of the messages, it says:

Mary dies
Tomorrow 11pm CST

...?

I must stress that any repeated attempts to access Memory before we have arrived at our destination will result in an automatic dismissal.

Unfortunate, but a requirement for this kind of endeavor.

Some dude from SA:

From what I've been reading through the course of this exercise, I've made a few assumptions. According to the music selections (Violent Femmes; Country Death Song and Smashing Pumpkins; Bullet With Butterfly Wings), I assume that everything that is going on in those letters happened quite a while ago. In keeping with the musical stylings of the time, that would be early to middle '90s. Also, the focus on "Time" and "Memory". Most everyone here (I figure) thinks we are here to save Mary from Robert. But at the same time, Robert has said nothing but "You can't save her". And now with the dawning of Dave's final bit of the code, it becomes fairly clear. "Mary Dies". Maybe I've gotten a little off-track here, so I'll skip right to the point.

I believe that P and R are one in the same, just different parts of the same person. R resides in the past, the angry, angsty teenager that wanted Mary for his own, and got all stabby on Steven. P resides in the present. From the e-mails sent to most everyone I've seen, he seems a lot calmer, cooler, bit more collected in his thoughts. From the focus on memory, and the importance of it, perhaps the most important memory is of Mary's death? The death of Ben seemed to have scarred him pretty deep, as the mere mention of it would bring about R!P, as opposed to the calmer P!R.

This is along the lines of what i was thinking. Sounds right, for the most part.

What happened with Steve? Robert stabbed him, but why? Steve being protective of Mary, is that all? Anything to that?

if thats true, then why did we get

"12/20

}`iqoJiF

Series five of five.

-P!R"

and

"16/20

drff0Iog

Series five of five.

-P!R"

>>744206
I don't know why I didn't notice that. My bad.

>>744218
He's passing out what he wants to whoever. I guess the idea is to make this last until the last one goes out so we're likely to see alot of cipher or alot of source to be handed out without its partner.

apparently theyre all out except 19

>>744225
No. 4chan isn't going to receive any more code. We need to wait on the other boards to get theirs before this can continue.

So as I understand it we have

So all evens have been released? We just need the cipher, now

maybe, that unfiction one was just posted. So not sure if its confirmed or not

Fuck searching.

>>744269
Goes to:

http://community.livejournal.com/sf_drama/1119364.html?thread=107446148#t107446148

Anything new there?

>>744273
New note here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/27873566@N07/2599569037/
says >>744086 is right. It sounds reluctant: "#744086...knows"

>>744277
Discussion about how R!P treats common knowledge maybe?

>>744284

I think it's just Robert confirming the DID as that link is about P!R referring to himself as "we"

I should also point out Note 3 on flickr is our note. any comments about the things that are said here will appear in that note.

>>744288
Oh, that's good to know. I didn't know venues had their own notes.

>>744086
>>744287
Is there a connection here? Is 4086 correct due to the plurality, or the idea of past/present?

actually, why would he mark out 4086 as being correct and not the OP over in SA?

>>744301
A valid point

>>744295

Or is it correct due to something else? Like this line, "The death of Ben seemed to have scarred him pretty deep, as the mere mention of it would bring about R!P, as opposed to the calmer P!R."
?
What exactly is right..

>>744288
Do you know which venue goes with which note?

>>744301
Probably saw this one and not the other. He's checking email, 5 forums, and probably irc.

and not sleeping too. wonder how he's getting by

>>744313
Poor kid. Poor crazy, crazy kid.

>>744314
Perhaps his vigilance, his ability to stay awake... important? Or extraneous?

>>744310
note 6 is SA
note 5 is evilavatar
note 4 is lj
we're note 3


not sure who was unifiction

>>744319
What's the relevance of the notes that say 'doesn't?'

in note 5, "Vanabo doesn't", and again in 4, before it was changed.

Urgh... just saying; the note is placed over 'fake lives', so 4086 and 'fake lives' are connected?

Does somebody have a piece of the puzzle they haven't shared? We should have 4 and I'm only counting 3, 8/20, 9/20, and 20/20

>>744326
I have a feeling someone is asleep.

I remember when Robert posted that other guy's email. Be careful anon. /b/ is right around the corner.

>>744326

Yup. P has confirmed 4-chan has received all 4 clues its allotted. I'm assuming people are sleeping.

awe is it slowing down?

15/20 found but I knew the translation already.

Ok, 13/20 was our final allotment so we are certainly done receiving parts of series 5 of 5.

>>744368
So is it just The Waiting Game from here on out?

Well until the final codes go out and we figure out what the message is. Then something else will happen.

I was hoping to drill him for some more information, or insight, but he's not responding.

>>744389
Soapdish, saw your last post on SA. http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=543273#543273 has the information you need, I think.

>>744412
Oh, wonderful. Thank you.

>>744412
Current count sits at:

SA=4
UN=2
EA=3
LJ= 3
us= 4

Seems we're waiting on EvilAvatar, Unfiction, and LJ. These locations have gone quiet.

Bumping to see if we can get this back to the top. Fun little ARG going here.

>>744427
I think most people have gone to bed. That makes me sad.

bump

I think this has reached the bump limit. A new thread needs to be started

From LJ


Robert@NotesToMary.com to me

5/20

02461981

Series five of five.

>>744524
Translates to:

ate.Only

BenWillGuardTheDate.OnlyWhenTheTimeIsRig???????AllowEntrance.ElevenFifteenPMCST

>>744543
Hm, Date. Makes more sense than gate, which is what I got.

That would make 3/20 '11151981'

I believe line 7/20 is going to say 'WhenTheT'

But, strange...... that would make the code 55555555

Better that than 55555554

>>744543
If it is 'guard the gate' instead of 'guard the date', the number cipher would fit with the last four being 1981.

The first three series look like:

06241981
11151981 (speculation)
02461981

Followed by the rather curious 55555555 cipher... it's complete unlike every other set, but it fits.

Following this, line of thought, 10/20 does not fit with 12/20, unless there is another word that starts with 'rig' and first in context with 'When the time is'

There has to be a reason 55555555 is the cipher. I mean, it fits, and it's a good idea, but it seems so curious.

This has reached it's bump limit.

With current level of activity it'd just sink away anyway.

Also, 10 can lead to 12 just fine as long as you assume a typo and he dropped a h somewhere along the line, possibly intentionally. RigtWillHeAllow. Though rigt is weird.

>>744582
I didn't think of a typo (intentional or not), good thought.

That would make 11/20 as follows:

99053245 'tWillHeA'

Assuming this is right, the whole message:

Ben will guard the gate. Only when the time is rigt (sic?) will he allow entrance. Eleven fifteen PMCST.

>>744582
I emailed Robert about the possible 10/20, 12/20 typo but didn't get a response.

Guy's probably asleep, still human after all.

>>744625
This was 5 hours ago, when I think he was still online.

>>744628
You'll get it when he wakes up, presumably.

This series seems to just be a while-you-wait activity telling us to wait for it .-. Doesn't seem to have much of note unless the numbers end up being used elsewhere like those of the first 3 lines, or the possibly missing h is significant

>>744647
I believe the missing 'h' was removed as a stylistic choice, and to force the line to conform to the lengths of the rest of it. I don't think it's significant beyond that.

>>744625
>>Guy's probably asleep, still human after all.

You can't assume anything, and this is /x/ afterall.

while he's asleep, his other personality is awake.

isnt it past 11:15 cst?

pm, anon, pm

is this thread no longer bumping?

what does pm mean?

>>744774
According to >>744515 it has.

11:15 in the afternoon

What if Steve, and the other goons are law enforcement, and 'Mary' is the world?

>>744856
The law enforcement had sex with the world?

don't let this die.
