 		another clue...probably irrelivant
Well, I did find a new clue on the Rain.onRaineer site, but I think it has to do with the order you email the band members, and you guys already figured that out.

PS: I'm in on this, despite my newness.

 		Hey guys,

I've not found anything new, but I felt the need to chime in on this one and offer my help.

I've been working on CiW (mostly in the shadows) and in the shadows of AV. I'm local to Seattle and love the 4400, so I will be following more closely and participating in this as much as possible.

Anywhoo, I just wanted to put myself out there in case of player interaction or the like and there was a need for someone in the area. I'm sure there are others, but I'd like to help.

Now off to start seeing if I can actually help by finding new stuff. ^_^ hehe

 		Welcome to the team. For everyone else: Luc posted an update in which he stated that the kidnappers will be on AIM tomorrow night. I was wondering, did I miss something in which he posted his AIM sn? He invited us to join him on AIM when this happens, and I'm going to try.

 		Hey there... glad to see we have new players! That's gonna make things a whole lot easier. Surprised

Lotsa stuffs to say... Great work on the image/new sites Lostpedian. That seems like a jump-ahead to me, seeing as how the SNAKE14 site is blank except for the links. But good find on the youtube site. I never would have seen that blank text. I caught the stuff about the Nova Group when I went on there, but I missed the youtube stuff.

Dav, Luc's AIM screen name is "LUCRAINEER." Real original, huh? Wink And, just in case you're not thinking this through very much... he most likely means 6:30 PST, whatever that means for wherever you are. That's 9:30 EST, right? And 8:30 Central... etc. I'm gonna be there! Maybe we can set up a chatroom or something so when he comes on we can invite him in... and maybe he can pull the kidnappers in too.

THE14 does seem to be a legitimate blog, which is the reason they had to skip right to SNAKE14. ... just caught something. It might not be jumping ahead. Go to the kidnappers' profile... SNAKE14 is the only listed blog. The others were hidden. They obviously meant for us to find it.

Ok, now that we're in the ARGs with Potential section, we can make a new post for every new clue! That way we won't have to keep memorizing how many posts there have been to see if it goes up. If there's a new post tagged [4400] we'll know something's happened!

Laughing *is really happy right now*

 		Hey all!
I'm going to get in on this, I used to watch the 440.
Anyway, I just visited the Eye of The Snake Yahoo group. I get a "Yahoo Page Not Found" mesage. Apparently, they pulled it down, or Lostpedian mistyped the address of the page in his post Surprised

But anyway, I'm adding Luc to my AIM also, can't wait till tomorrow!

 		Re: the Eye of the Snake yahoo group. You have to make sure you delete the period at the end of the ".html". It doesn't work with the period.

Re: chat transcripts, I dunno. Probably... I doubt we'll be able to chat with the kidnappers, though, but Luc, sure!

The story doesn't seem to be progressing until we tell Luc things either through email or comments on his blog. Just a hunch, but I suggest things would get more interesting if we all joined his forum and posted over there in addition to over here. That way, he could just look over there and we wouldn't have to rely on the PM checking this forum to make sure we've found clues, and then coming up with some twist in the storyline to explain how Luc discovered the clue. Or something. And remember... TINaG!

In the cassieiswatching ARG, people posted out-of-character on the comments of a blog and the person wound up killing himself, leaving us with almost nothing. So... let's not do that to Luc.

I dunno, I prefer tracking one thread for something like this which is low-traffic.

Yes, you got your game "promoted".

"my game?" ... oh. because I discovered the trailhead. For a second there I thought you were saying I'm the PM. I wish I was the PM... then I would understand where this is going...

Ah, but now that we're here, it's going to be higher-traffic. Already there are three or four more people following the updates since we were moved over here.

On the game-front...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Luc's blog was updated. He's having a hard time staying optimistic because his "second mother" was just diagnosed with cancer. Accordingly, he's changed his 43things page to include "Find a cure for cancer."


I'm excited for tomorrow night. Character interaction rocks![/spoiler]

 		Hey guys!

I just got an email response back from Luc to an email I'd sent him yesterday. I don't know if he really says too much in it, but he named dropped a couple of places in town, so I figured that they may become significant. Also, he seems a bit displeased with the interaction between him and some of the players thus far. Here's the email:

Quote:

Hello there, Whitney!

You don't know how good it is to see there are people out there helping me follow these clues. I feel like I've grown up a lot in the past week. I've had to deal with my girlfriend telling me she wants to become a 4400, then getting kidnapped, having to follow the clues, developing insomnia for some reason, and now someone I love has cancer. It's not fun, I can tell you that.

It's so cool that you're from Seattle! Wouldn't it be weird if we've met somehow? Like that show on TV... where people eat in the same cafe, and know the same people, and pass each other on the streets, and don't even know it. Ever eaten at Salvatore Ristorante Italiano? Or how about Saint Germain? I LOVE the croque monsieur. I took Emmy to the Salvatore Ristorante Italiano for dinner just last Thursday... a week ago today. That's the last time we went out together...

I'm sure you understand, though, that I really don't want to tell you where in Seattle I live. The Eye of the Snake knows, and that's plenty for me. Sorry, but I don't think it's a good idea.

I'm really glad you're out there. It's nice having someone to talk to. The others email me to tell me they've solved some riddle or found a password or new website, but you're the first to ask me how I feel. If I didn't know any better, I would say people were treating this like some kind of game. And it's not. It's so real to me... and I can't imagine that people don't understand that. My life feels like it's over, and people aren't taking me seriously. It sucks. It really does.

I have a bad feeling about tonight. I don't know what The Eye of the Snake is going to tell me over AIM, but I'm sure it's not going to be good...

One last question, Whitney. Are you a guy or a girl? Cause I've known Whitneys of both sexes. Sorry if that's too forward or whatever, but I was just curious.

Write back!

From,
Luc


Also, I rearranged my plans I will be able to chat with him tonight as well. (sorry if this should have gone in a new thread, but it seemed fine here.)

 		Who all is going to be chatting with Luc?

EDIT: He's actually confused as to why "everyone is late" Still no word from the kidnappers.

 		The Message
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The only thing that they sent his was " -... . --. .. -." which translates to "BEGIN"


The message was sent from eye14of14snake14. I'm still chatting with him and will edit with important details.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Emmy called during the conversation. She said "buys tie our use" and hung up. I'm thinking it may have something to do with Youtube?


And I'm attaching our conversation. A lot of nothing in there, but may I missed something.
