 		[UPDATE] An ULtimatum and a Decision
Quote:

An Ultimatum and a Decision
An Ultimatum

As with the previous "ransom" communications, the fourth one contained a hidden message - ultimatum.html - leading to a previously undiscovered page on Suzee Jones' own web site. The message was discovered by looking at the different colors on the paw prints in the animated gif file, as explained in this email from an ARGTalk reader:

Taking the color codes of the different colors in the foot/pawprints, and finding out their color codes, then converting that from hex to text, I got: ultimatum.html.
Thanks to Max Steele for that solution.

This secret page has but a single image on it but it's implication is chilling. Both the text, disguised in a Wingdings font, and the image itself convey the message, "Time is running out."

A Decision

The unsettling messages contained in this latest communication from the suspected party behind Suzee's disappearance has left me no choice but to try and do anything and everything possible in what time we have left to try and resolve this situation. I've decided to go ahead and hold an online chat in the next few days, as requested by many ARGTalk readers and as suggested by the voice from the phone number found on a hidden page on Scary Clown's site.

Whether or not the voice is really is the former ARGTalk writer Scary Clown, since he calls himself "myzterious" in the message some ARGTalk readers received, and whether or not he is somehow connected to the kidnapping or the people behind it is yet to be seen. But if it will help in any way, I'm willing to do it, especially if it helps clear the air about the false leads the kidnapper has obviously been planting apparently implicating myself and the other ARGTalk contributors.

I haven't decided on the exact time and day yet but will sometime today. In the meantime, if you have any suggestions as to when it should be, please post a comment here or email me directly at argtalkSPLATgmail.com. I will be trying to make sure that the oldtim3r and HughBriss will be available for the chat and I'll even be reaching out to Scary Clown directly, to inform him of my decision and to invite him to be there.

As promised, I'd like to announce the web chat we've been asked to do in regards to Suzee's disappearance and everything that has happened since.

The web chat has been tentatively set for Sunday, July 17th at 10:00 PM eastern time. I will obviously be there and oldtim3r has confirmed to me his attention to participate as well. I've yet to hear back from either HughBriss or Scary Clown. I'll keep you posted if I do.

More details about this web chat forthcoming.

 		It does make sense, to have the chat in a US time zone, since it's a US based game... the chars are all US people, and i'm assuming the PMs are as well.

 		but wouldnt it be nice, if instead of 10pm it was at 7pm? these games are inter-net/national (albeit english speaking, anyone can play). Sure it makes sense, but it would be *nice*...

just a quick reminder that we will be having a Web Chat on AIM tonight at 10:00 PM eastern. The oldtim3r has agreed to go online around 9:45 or so and help organize a chat room in which the Web Chat will be conducted. If anyone is online and wants to set one up in advance, that would be great too. Just invite the oldtim3r in when you see him online - screen name argoldtim3r - and he'll help spread the word to everyone invited.


see you there!
