I found the original picture of the "stranger" symbol here along with some more information about it. Not sure if the group number is important but there you go.

tide and time wait for no man

Not much time left on my lunch break but I thought the glass house pic could be refering to high or low tide.

I'll do an ocd image search in a few hours when I get home.

Notice that in this link you provided, the actual sign that we have is defined as prison, or avoid this place-risk of being arrested, while the sign that means not safe for strangers is different {shown here} (although if you click on the link, it gives our sign as meaning 'not safe for strangers' too).

Possibly relevant is the fact that this is a 5x5 grid...

Here is the phone call I posted about this morning from Wendy Way.


Also, I made a guess and received this reply:

Quote:
Good Afternoon or Evening Mountain Girl,

Please try again.

Be proud, Mountain Girl. You are very close to having this. It seems
to be the third clue that is giving you the most trouble. I have faith
that this too will soon be solved.

Chin up, Sammeeeee!

Warm Regards

Mr. Alan Johnson


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I guessed October 5, 4:00pm. But I had no clue about the Hobo signs.

Mountain Girl, that's pretty much the same thing I got. Do we want to try a good cop/bad cop deal, where one of us gives up Betty if/when we find her while the other tries to keep throwing he/she/them/it/whatever off?

That would be the 9 O'Clock gun in the time.jpg.

Method of findage: Searching, on a hunch, "O'Clock" on Google Image search until I got to the 8th page where I saw the plaque. I clicked through, and found it there.

So.. to sum up everyones hard work we have Oct 5, 2006 @9:00 somewhere where it is not safe for strangers and 5 5x5 grids may be important.

So after this evening's discovery of the correct time information, I emailed Mr. Alan Johnson with this:

Quote:
Mr. Johnson,

I found your interesting message for the Sammeeeees,
and I think I understand it to read: October 5, at
9:00

I hope to learn more.

Dante


And this is the reply that I just got back:

Quote:
Greeting to you clever Dante,

You now have the correct date and time. Good work!

Don't worry. The place will eventually come to you.

And now should be the perfect time for a bit of the "why?"

If I were you, Dante, I would return to your source and in time
it may tell. Some say that it is ever evolving.

Warm Regards

Mr. Allan Johnson


So there is still the "place". Hrm. I'm not sure what 'source' he's talking about (I checked the source code on his blog.. looks the same) -- maybe nothing will happen until Oct 05?

Also, what's with Alan/Allan?

Another response from Betty & Happy Rogers also

Yeah, found Happy's pictures on flickr - I grew up in Santa Monica!
So I would like to help you out (if you let me know what you are
worried about). If Johnson is dangerous, I should warn my friend who
got those boxes wrapped in foil.

don't tell me.. did johnson approach your friend as if this were a game? what a joke! there is so much i want to tell you but i must be cautious. (and you and your friends must be cautious!) i'm sorry but i still can't help but worry that you are working with johnson. i don't know who to trust anymore that's outside my small circle of sammeeeees. my pal higgs is checking you out. i will be in touch again soon.

take care, Heather
Betty


Turns out I have never gotten any response from Mr Johnson, so I will continue to be in confidence with Betty and HHR and let you guys play with Mr Al until we figure out what is going on here.
------------------------

Now, from HHR

Saw your picture of the library.
I grew up in Santa Monica....I worked at the main library and at the Montana avenue branch. Your photo is very different - did they remodel the main branch or is that a different location?
I like posting pictures of events and missions also. I'm curious about the sammeeee missions and would love to talk to you about it.
Hugs.

Hello Konamouse,

Do I know you? Or do you know my friends? I'm shocked that you found my photo page. I set it up for my husband. It has been a great way to stay in touch while he's in Japan on business. You go on missions? Do you know Peeps? Are you helping Peeps? What I am trying to say is are you a Sammeeeee? Wait. Did Betty send you? I think she's mad at me again. I'm awful at this stuff but I am trying to do my best. Oh god. Please tell me that you don't work for Mr. Alan Johnson.

The library did change. They rebuilt it and made it eco-friendly. I love it. I live very near to the Montana Branch. Small world. Right? Am I rambling? I am. I am a wreck. To be honest I have not slept in three or four days.

I have to go now.
Hugs
Happy Rogers


By the way. We have more pictures on HHR's flickr page, and more characters:
HHR appears to have met Patricia Moore. They talked about Higgs, Addison, Trinket, Dwin (as being Sammeeeees who are trying to help Peeps) and that Otis, Spoocheeeee, Mr Alan Johnson, Peeps are all real. Ben was taking the pictures (must be her son).

Going by the title, I assume that he found a blogspot he wasn't supposed to.

I wonder why the PMs had to contact him to deal with it, rather than deal with it ingame.

I know I'm being watched, but now I feel like I'm being watched.
