[PUZZLE]The Bug Letters

since this convo have been spread out over multiple threads.... let's focus. There were bugs sent out with letters on them. All that we know of had two letters, except one, which the person who got it said it was an "E" - see below for why it isn't.

The groupings together mostly spell out his name, so we don't believe we need to split up the groupings.

Okay he just txt me and said "help" I said how? What was your plan? His response was "ti wa" just like that.

I got another text
"e is a lie
sorry can't think sraight" just like that

OMG i'm an ass okay so yeah, he's saying the E is a T


The letters we now have are T AL BO TG RI FF _ _ FA BT WA TI NC

WE ARE MISSING THE "IN" and I do believe some others.... but we are rapidly running out of time!!!!!

does this include any of the letters from the keys? I'm pretty sure from pictures I have seen a key with an H and another with an R? I'd hate to throw anything into this mix that shouldn't be. But we need more letters right?

A couple of us talked about posted pics of keys in the FB COMMENTS ESRLIER TODAY. THEY ARE GONE. I THINK THE PUPPETMASTERS EITHER THINK WE JUMPED THE GUN ON THE KEYS OR THEY MEAN NOTHING. IM INCLINED TO WAIT UNTIL THEY ARE EXORESSLY CALLED OUT. IF THEY ARE.

Ok, I noticed other things I was keeping an eye on are now missing. I would think the numbers on the key are out of the PMs control. Just thought I would throw it in there if no one else had thought of it

We (Shad0 and I) think that the letters are circular, that they form the circle logo phrase "Talbot Griffin fan club," and that the other letters are red herrings. I don't believe that Talbot intended to give us more letters. Further on that point, I just got a text from him saying that letters don't matter and that only skulls are important.

I believe the keys got called out.... Thank your fans for me. I believe someone took your keys since you posted them.

I think this makes sense. The cockroaches were probably a mechanism for us to find the fan club before it was actually announced in-game. That ship has clearly sailed...

Pixie Re the keys ???? Doesn't make much sense. Oh well, short event.

Well maybe she swept them out of the comments? There was actually very little discussion of them at any point, and given the FB baseline it's just luck I even noticed my earlier comments were gone.
