Got a email via Unfiction from nachoman_studiosSPLAThotmail.com
Inside the email was:

There's some stuff inside the blog. Remove the object.breach, and put in http: instead.

 		The entry seems to have a fairly big hint in it. "If all else fails, go to the source and shoot for the stars." The problem is I'm not entirely sure what that's supposed to mean. There ARE things in the source that have stars next to them, but I don't know what we're supposed to do with them.

EDIT: You also need to remove the Xzero on the end of the link. So it would look like this: http://incomplete-incarnate.blogspot.com/

 		D'oh! I was overthinking it, and the idea of it being the WORD stars we were looking for just didn't occur to me.

For those who are wondering, the clue leads to a hidden message in the source. Here it is:

Quote:
Stars. I see you are worthy. I didn't think anyone on this pitiful planet would be. But you are. Perhaps you can help me. Perhaps I can tell you the truth about what's going on. I need you to help my brother. He arrived when I did and found your planet to his liking. He started a foolish pursuit of fame and founded something called "Nachoman Studios". I don't know why he wants your respect. It's sickening. But he still deserves to live. I am afraid that I can not reward you, but I will thank you with all my heart. Additional information will be on my log, but I would like not to deal with the unworthy, so it will be slightly cryptic as to keep them out. You may want to see if my brother is asking for help as well. Please tell me if you find him.

And from that I found... http://nachoman-studios.blogspot.com/

 		Hmm. I guess I'll watch for the moment...

I tried a quick search for "Nachoman studios" in google, myspace and the blogger thingy. Nothing came up. Guess this is a waiting game for the time being.

 		Hmm. The entry in Nachoman can be interpreted two ways. One way is to look at it as saying, "Help my brother zero. He's trying to find me." Another way to look at it is, "Help. My brother zero is trying to find me and I don't want him to."

 		Wow, I'm clearly rubbish, in that I missed that. lol

There's nothing in the source of this one (I doubly checked, just to make sure!). I think it's probably to be interpreted as 'Help. My brother is trying to find me and I don't want him to!'

 		myspace
not yet sure if this is game related, since when I pulled it up it was set to private, but there is a myspace

http://www.myspace.com/nachoman_studios

I added him. The default pic is a drawing, which adds to my suspicion that it could be part of the game. No real picture makes me think that it's not a personal site.

That wasn't there when I searched before, I'm sure. So that makes me think if it's new, it's probably ingame.

Assuming so, the quote gives me D&D echoes...

 		no luck... the owner of the myspace page messaged me and told me that it was an unrelated site.

Quote:
Yo.
Body: Did you add me because of the Incomplete Incarnate ARG? Because my profile is unrelated. Yes, I did make the ARG, but it was originally going to be on myspace, so I decided to use my existing profile as a game element. That didn't work out, so I used Blogger and the Nachoman thing stuck.

Hope you enjoy the game!

 		Bother! Sad

Mind you, that implies that he's been around much longer than a few days, so I should officially never be allowed to look for anything ever again. Embarassed

 		Well, apparently my comment on the Nachoman blog enabled Zero to track down his brother.

Um...oops? Embarassed

 		D'oh! Laughing

Mind you, these puzzle thingys sound fun. Sound take my mind off revision a bit (and my back pain, come to that).

 		the first torment
been watching for awhile and the sunday puzzle has been put up:

"Southeast

Another kill to lie about
Slain for truth
No proof for valor
No shots for cowardice
Bastards"

So here is to finding out who the five leaders shall be
