Dear Trolls,

I have a question that I believe you Trolls should answer. How come you feel the right to post a thread concerning any likely Trail-head, Rabbit Hole, Singular Puzzle/Time-waster, or for that matter any other strange goings on at your favorite band's fansite (I like Tool too and will be looking into that...). However if another person does the same, you also feel the right to go on the attack and be quite rude to that person.

If you would take the time to read my blog you should see pretty clearly the purpose that it now serves. I thought I had been quite clear on that topic. I hope that this does not take away from those who knew me from my previous adventure, and will continue to enjoy reading up on my current project.

So, if any of us unforum members create a blog that talks about our involvement in ARG, you all are going to think that this is a rabbithole?

THX is a member of our community. He wrote about playing ARG. Just for the heck of it, he put a puzzle (or two) in his blog as an explanation or example of the puzzles found in ARG. Or just to have some fun.

His latest post is very strange indeed. His latest post is a riddle, "june 30th".. check it out. I know the answer but I think it would be better if everyone else figured it out on there own.

First letter of each sentence.


This was posted at the time we were in City of Domes mode (and it was the MO of the CoD PMs for hidden messages).
_________________

Puzzles are not ARG. Puzzles are games for your mind to solve.
ARG involves an alternate reality that often *uses* puzzles to hide information in this alternate reality. The solving of these puzzles often lead to 1) email addresses, 2) websites, 3) more clues to solving some mystery in the alternate reality.

I really hope this blog is a rabbithole for an ARG. I think THX is smarter than that (if he wanted to be a PM). On the other hand, this blog appears to show that he has some very strong opinions on politics, government & the value of meditation (amongst all of his Our Colony musings).

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

twisterxiz, are you even reading the newest posts on this thread?... o.O;;;

Honestly, I don't see where an ARG would lie within the blog. Sometimes when we look too hard, we see what we want to see. ;X

I found something, He quotes
Quote:
So as you look for me, keep this in mind, I seek you.
and at first I thought that it reminded me of something, and ended up remembering ICQ, heres the ask definition
Quote:
ICQ is the first instant messaging computer program created by start-up Israeli company Mirabilis and first released in November, 1996. The name ICQ is a play on the phrase "I seek you".
So convinced you yet guys, I still need your help though... ALOT of it...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
So i got the icq part, and so I went back to the original post, looked at it, studied it for a sec, and figured just to take it literally...
Quote:
Well here you go. I've posted a pic to make the task a little easier. So as you look for me, keep this in mind, I seek you.
So i figured if the pic is there to help us, its important, so then it said so as you look for me keep in mind ICQ.. SO I figured why not look in the property section of the picture and what do you know http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5020/116/320/122603571ICQ.jpg.. So I need help now with what to do with the ICQ number... Atleast now, theres evidence of a trailhead here...
