Ok, I just got a phone call.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

It was some girl sounding panicked and saying "Are you there? Can you help us? ... We're running out of supplies ... oh no ... I have to go, I'll call you back later"

then it just hung up. I tried to listen closely to background sounds but noticed nothing out of the ordinary.

This is the second call since I signed up by pressing 9.

So.... I feel like I am not being understood and either I look like i'm shitting on the experience here, which I'm not, or that I don't understand what is going on, which I do {as much as we can know right now}. I am wordy, and need to explain things to death {PNI} so I'm going to waste some time right now and do so. Prepare for a boring TL;DR

LOL yeah no, i get that. I got that before. that doesn't make my statement moot. There is still some velveta in the cheese here... That Kirkman is so meta, yet pretending to be a "player" is a cheesy game mechanic. It is why I didn't start following along at first when I saw him first post about it in his twitter feed last week. When I posted above about no one calling the number, it wasn't because I wasn't aware, because i was aware enough to get it was related to Kirkman's tweets, but it was because the OP should have posted the info, as we generally like to know here how a solve or trailhead is found. The trailhead was the packages, I was never saying Kirkman was the trailhead, I was saying he "got one" which is to say it's his IP and i seriously doubt he's not somehow meta-involved. And that makes it cheesy. If Spielberg had said in some interview during The Beast "I think there is something wrong with the movie poster" or something dumb like that... basically pointing people in the direction of how to play, something that the trailhead itself alone should do, then it would have been cheesy too.

Kirkman's tweets are guiding the players because the PM team doesn't have enough trust in the audience to that they can find their way through OR because there isn't enough faith int he camp that it can be done without guidance. AND instead of inventing a char to go along with it, they took a meta and tried to flip it. If this was any other general camp, and any other IP, we would not be as forgiving.

My comments about using woodbury was meant to be spec, and not related to my complaints about using Kirkman in the above mentioned manor. I am a HUGE fan of TWD, and really want this to reconcile with the show. Smile

I agree but as cheesy as a mechanic as it may be, people just don't know what an ARG is or how it may work. I asked in a walking dead group, and ended up explaining ILB and Ny Takma type games to a dumbfounded audience that still didn't get it. You couldn't trust people to put that info up. Of course it would have been better to take a different approach, but I'm just going to be glad this is even a thing when they could have passed on it altogether.

UPDATE

Ok, so calling 912-307-3075 now reveals a different message. There's still an option to enter a user ID.

Also the WoodburyIsWaiting twitter seems to be counting down to something.

I read somewhere there may be a solution to a prev. code:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

KBRA 57 points to a terminus in Atlanta called terminus 100. https://www.reddit.com/r/thewalkingdead/comments/3i19oq/kbra_57_nov_19_thoughts/

No info on how they found that tho.

The numbers on patient zero have changed and woodburyis waiting just tweeted them. Saw it after I got my last call. I've tried every number I can think of for the code......
Saw a comment on the woodbury ig about the locations being airports. Did a quick Google kbra is an airport in south dakota. Not sure if it's relevant though.

That's interesting, hadn't thought about airports.

I just received another call today, this time

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

the girl mentioned the road to survival... a quick google search yeilded this:

http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/walking-dead-road-to-survival-game-shambles-onto-mobile-devices

Apparently a new smartphone game just released.

So... is that it? What do the codes do? Is this the old "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine" trick? I can't get any of the input codes to work.
