Excuse me for being too good at my job!

Anyway, this looks like the second clue to do with "forth" (the first being that it sounds like "fourth"). And now we know it's definitely London. I can't find a link yet, though.

And I'm disregarding the River Forth, and the Firth of Forth, for now considering we've been directed toward London. If anyone comes up with a solve of where to go in London, I'll be happy to make my way there.

EDIT: Sent a new message to slewth. Something kinda relevant.

Operating under the assumption that we're dealing with a telephone number, I found that HEL-&*^% (435-7865), when dialed with the "free" 866 number gives the Texas Department of Agriculture. Dead end there.

The number, if you add a letter to the end, can also spell "HELP TOLL" or "HELP VOLT"

now wait a minute.

This whole thing is based in texas. how do we know that the telephone is a dead end? I have been getting information from Alex lately that discusses possible important happenings on the border of Texas (just an IG example, don't start talking about it ).

The fact that we have a working phone number that not only leads somewhere, but leads somewhere in the state of question, could be very important.

There is an agent listed named uk_judgement. He/she shows up on page 10 of the Top Agents list.

The game i'm referring to is Deus City. I'm still upset by this need to look outside of the interface for information i have no clue about

[Wang Guantao]

Slewth mentions a play, so possibly we're looking for someone who's name or occupation is in a play?

and he's said before that the person is not on the interface yet (meshes with what he also just said about persuading him to become a TIA), so I would think we're looking a real life person, possibly based in the UK, that we need to contact.

and remember, off web contact is 100% within the ARG experience.
(I think the sammeeeee players had to find a guy selling melons at a fruit market, so a phone call is nothing if we can find the right guy)

[Unfeltkisss]

ya I was actually thinking that a possibility last night Wang! I'm currently trying to bust the "Coded" task right now, but I'll switch to this in a bit

[morelaak]

hey.

The word play makes me think back to Shakespeare again, so i looked around some more on that front.

Shakespeare's fourth play is an important one. look it up on wiki.

It's called Titus Andronicus.

a single name for a title. also, it fits the second, not third clue. Shakespeare's second play, Richard III, was a history, similar to Titus Andronicus, which was a tragedy. however, the third was A Comedy of Errors, his first comedy.

Henry IV was written when Shakespeare was still living near Stratford-upon-Avon.

also, i think i heard this somewhere once before... "history turns comedy into tragedy."
...meh, maybe.

But that's what i came up with. maybe we need to find Titus Andronicus.

[notgordian]

I own a copy...Titus Andronicus is actually one of my favorite Shakespeare plays. It's based around the Greek myth of Philomela (Ovid's Metamorphasis).

Unless Chris is planning on feeding Alex his children, or cut out his tongue and cut off his hands, I don't see how it would apply.

Just chatted it up with William Forth....it's definitely him. Chatlog is attached as a *.txt file.

EDIT: And part two is attached as well (he came back).
