I got basically the same call as everyone else... except for the part where I was an idiot. When he asked right away if I knew about Township Heights, I said no. Laughing I was distracted and didn't realize right off that it was an ARG call. I think I threw him off for just a second, but then he handled it well. Dunce

I, too, got a phone call from Robert. The message on my voicemail went as follows:

Quote:
This is Robert. I'm calling about Township Heights. I used to work there; I used to be the assistant to the mayor, the OLD mayor. Now, with the new mayor, things have changed. Things aren't right in Township anymore- Developmentis, the new Mayor. Things just aren't the same. Something's going on to the people of Township. You need to stay away. I have access inside Township. I found a list- your name is on it. If you're planning on going, stay away. I'm trying to warn everybody. Stay away.


He seemed relatively calm, and rather more informative than some of the other messages. Thoughts?

I just signed up and paid, grrrr to leaving my cell at home today.

Oh, and another site where you can have phone conversations over the internet is http://www.IP-relay.com .... it's the site that people who are deaf or hard of hearing use when use of a phone is required.

Well I'm glad some people posted what the caller said. I got a VM yesterday, but I couldn't understand much beyond the words "Township Heights" and "mayor." I actually thought it was the mayor calling to welcome me. Laughing

I've signed up for ARG 6.5 on the strength of VirtuQuest's reassurance:
Quote:
Speaking of an experience, as I reflect on all we've been involved with, this particular experience would be an excellent way for you to introduce this world to a new / inexperienced player . . .


I can't believe it's taken me this long to discover ARGs. :/ Instead of new year's resolutions, I'm stepping into a whole new gaming dimension. Yay!

I wish I had something to add to the collective, but you guys are all way ahead of me. Wink I'm looking forward to playing and working on this!

[Edit]: Well, that was quick - I got my phone call 30 minutes after sign-up. eee!

Me Too!

Finally received my call about 20 min ago: Very Happy

Break down of call;

Quote:
I use to work in Mayors office, Township Heights is changing, new Mayor, Development Corporation came to town, town isn't safe, people missing or gone? Shocked


Never did say his name.
I think he sounded worried, but not really frantic.

yeeeehaaa...

Got my call about an hour ago. It was Mr. Ridge, he sounded freaked out when I told him I knew who he was. Apparently, people are missing around town, Developmentis is changing things, etc.
Hooray for my first character interaction ever! Too bad my phone reception sucks Censored

[SPEC/WEBSITE]

http://livingmagazine.net ?? Creepy creepy website that seems to have some of the same theme as TH

According to the TH site, Township Heights was voted "Best Community 2006 by Living MagazineŽ"

Edit: Also http://www.chansen.com.

The domain whois shows it's been registered since Feb. 2004, though - if I'm reading the thing correctly.

Maybe nothing, but for something registered in 2004, it sure has a lot of "under construction" stuff.

The WhoIs info for that site is very different from the others deemed IG. You're right though, it is a bit creepy none-the-less.

bummer

I found a mention of Chansen publishing on Dallas's business journal (http://www.bizjournals.com/dallas/stories/1999/08/09/newscolumn5.html), plus a mention of the "living" magazine titles. So the site is legit. Ah well. I learned something, anyway. Sorry for the unnecessary post above - should I delete? Embarassed

But I maintain that the living magazine site is seriously creepy.

the bbbloop is just the bbb loop, the looped creepy song that keeps playing over and over on the site.

Yeah, but I tried calling the phone number for the living offices and it says the number doesn't exist so I think its IG. Mostly because of the very ARGish login included on the site.

[edit - no reason to spoiler information; keep the spoilers for the solve of puzzle (incase someone wants to try to solve it themselves) - kona]
