Drats. Foiled again! Well, bravo, people in charge. I don't know how, but you've managed to figure out the general area I live in. As for the "Timmy is dead." comment, that's referring to one of the messages I left Keymaker. Something along the lines of...

"Just calling to see how you're doing. How are the kids? Is little Timmy getting any better?"


Did you really block your number? Hmmm... maybe he's looking at ISP's then? I tell you, even though this seems like an amateruich ARG, it's doing a good job in blending the lines between the game and reality. I mean, waht if this really is some freak-o using the ARG for whatever sick purpose he has?

I've listened to the video a bit more and the link to Mount Vernon Is the guy is talking about how coloured people done' have a "Mount Vernon" which then links back to the Keymaker saying he has found his. Whatever that means?

Also there is some hidden text: //6=quota"
and you can scroll way down to the right, although I don't spot anything there.

EDIT> and some more in the source:
//1="...they
//2=can
//3=keep
//4=the
//5=status
//6=quota"

but also some other bits of text:
HELLO.
//6=Just answer
i KNOW WHAT
WONT TELL YOU.
WOULD you LIKE TO PLAY A GAME?

EDIT2> some text appears right at the end, I can't quite make it out but I think it is just from whatever site this was lifted from

Actually it looks like the hidden text says:

//1="...they
//2=can
//3=keep
//4=the
//5=status
//6=quota"
//6=Just answer


Status quota? isn't it status quo?


EDIT: DAMN YOU ALISDAIR!!! why you gotta be so fast?

I sure did! My cell phone's voicemail service gives me the option to call people through it. I just punch in the number, and it connects me. The nice thing about doing it this way is, it hides my number. The only thing that shows up on CID is "PRIVATE". I even tested it out a few times. Confused

He could've gotten my general location from my IP address, though. But, everytime I've talked to them in IRC, I've used a proxy (which hides my IP). Even if they went through all the unique IP addresses that have visited their sites, they would have no way of knowing any of them was me unless they already knew I'm in MN.

Bah. I'm probably overanalyzing it. Razz

Stay away, creepy people. I have a gun! Well, ok...I don't. But, I do have a number of pointy objects.

...and I know kung fu.

Hmmmm... I come out of hibernation to find something perhaps involving my very own twin cities-based back yard. Might have to keep an eye on this, provided I don't have to keep listening to that shoutcast. Razz

Oh, btw... I doubt it matters, but the DJ that was on now was not in FL or in IN (where the parent company of YARRadio is based). He mentioned the time and it was definitely in the Central time zone.

a 3rd address has been added and the message has changed I think:
Quote:
it wont be long.... you'll get what you earned...
Madison, WI
Twincities, MN
Fort Myers, FL
Stay at home... the hour grows near.....
If you are there..... i can make papers appear.....


EDIT > for those whose addresses he knows...it looks like you can expect "papers" to appear. Looking at the source code the word papers should have been in bold, so I guess important

EDIT 2> We've just discovered the timer counts down to midnight wherever you are, so mine shows 24 mins left, but you guys have 6 hrs + ...I think this is USA based so a while to go yet

EDIT 3> My counter is zero'd so I guess it's over to the good old USA

well it looks like someone will be getting a phone call tonight. i was watching when the timer ran out and after refreshing the page it still looks the same except it says "ring ring" where the timer used to be.

Wow...so far, the phone call hasn't worked out at all. The first time they called, I let it go to voicemail so I could get it recorded. Unfortunately, the message got cut off part way through. "Keymaker2.wav" is my recording of what I was able to get.

So, when I realized it got cut off, I called back, and asked them to try again. They do so, but they restarted the message from the beginning. (Ideally, they could've started the message at the middle, and I would've been able to get the last part.)

Then they call a THIRD time, and this time I picked up and tried to record the whole message. Although, this time around, the recording was stuck in a loop. It would say the first few sentences, then go back to the beginning and start over again. So, I tried to say something, then I realized - just speaking will also restart the message. "Keymaker3.wav" is my recording of this happening.

EDIT: Nevermind. The whole message can be heard here. I've taken Keymaker2.wav down.

The key bit (sorry for the pun) is to be the first to email him the key, there is then this list of numbers:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
318579245323467583


which is too long to be either a telephone number, or IP add. So I think maybe a cipher?

Ok....i got the whole thing.......i'm done playing. I have been officially disillusioned. I would have preferred a horrible grizzly death to this.


First, instead of getting a message from the keymaker, this is the message I received. Then after about a million failed attempts, i finally got the whole thing.


I feel like Ralphie in A Christmas Story....secret decoder ring my ass.

EDIT: ok, it won't let me upload the full length convo....too bad. but it's available for everyone to listen to:
