Hey all. Stumbled across the thread when looking for more Dark Tower ARG stuff. Called the number above, and just received a text a few minutes ago from it.

It read:

?QUERY?RESPONSE?---SET
ACTIVE HADDONFIELD,
NJ<<<<

I responded, got the same thing back. Then asked it what was in Haddonfield, and got the same response. Being a Dark Tower fan, and realizing it may be something akin to Blaine I was talking to, I asked it a riddle, it responded with:

RESPONSE FAILURE--BYPASS
HADDONFIELD, NJ<<<<

Hey "drawingofthree" are you near Haddonfield? I'm right up the street and based on your post I'm gonna head over there after some dinner. The only place I can really think of is the library....

Texting with Sombra

I got a slightly different response after responding to the "?QUERY?RESPONSE?" text. Once I set my location as active the response came back as:

"VERIFIED. LMC-7271-081716. SEEK THE RESTAURANT. FIND THE DREAMER."

The restaurant is surely a Dixie Pig reference, but I'm not sure about the dreamer. I sent the number another message saying "Query" to see if it'll give any more information.

Called the number from my pc with Google voice, got the same message as everyone else. Sounds like kids playing at the end, there is something in the background if someone can record and get a better listen.

Didn't get a text from them so I texted the number with Verified and got the following response.

REJECTED - NO PATIENT # LMC-2561-XXXXXX <<<<

Active666 - I didn't initially get a text from them either. I texted the number 'Query' to start it. Maybe try that? Interesting that it's calling you a 'patient'...

I've kept texting the number with different command-like words but haven't gotten it to reply again :/

Curious... let us know if you disappear in the middle of the night into a Sombra security van?

I got the number to respond again - see the image. It seems to respond when you send it 'Verify' after you're active. Nothing else has worked yet.

Has anyone tried emailing Mr. Sayre? I'm tempted, but don't relish the idea of using my personal email. Maybe I'll make a burner.

Long days and pleasant nights, all.
I called the number

Came here via Reddit. Called the number and I stated "Long days and pleasant nights" and it went to a recording of a little girl reciting Maturin's Poem!

"See the Turtle of Enormous Girth
On his shell he holds the Earth.
His thought is slow, but always kind.
He holds us all within his mind.
On his back all vows are made;
He sees the truth but mayn't aid.
He loves the land and loves the sea,
And even loves a child like me."

Response from outside the US?

Hi, I'm over her in VIC, Australia.

Called the number, followed prompt and listened to full message.

So far haven't received any kind of message.

Anybody else from outside of the US received a response? Really want to be a part of this....

Both LaRousse and I are from Montreal, Canada.
She called last night, I called today.

She got the text and I didn't. In fact, I called twice. The first time I didn't leave a message, the second time I left one stating that I was waiting for the text.

We might have just missed our window to get into this game.

Update:
Just after I posted this I got the text. I made the call at 12:25 and the text didn't come in until 1:16. So it was just a bit slower than anticipated.

Also a 6 minute wait between my response to the first text and the "Verified" reply.

FACEBOOK RESPONSE FROM RICHARD SAYRE

As per my previous post, I called the number again asking for 'activation and verification'. I live in Melbourne, Australia and hadn't yet received a message back.

At this point, I should mention that I own a Massager/Chiropractic business here in Melbourne, which I have a facebook page for. The following messages were sent to the inbox of my business's facebook page, and then to my email address.

And for those wondering, yes the tat is real. I've also included the information from his facebook page (the account the messages were sent from).
