[TCJ] Tradecraft Journal trailhead Odd post on youtube... (...aren't they all. )
Hi,
I read an article about your group in the Charlotte Observer back in February, and was reminded of this stuff you do when I saw this post on youtube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrDEMbRYMWw
The person who posted it says it's from a message left on his answering machine. That struck me as pretty unlikely until I started thinking about all the other goofy crap that's on youtube. So I thought I'd pass it along, since it seems equally unlikely that the message is legit.
Sorry to waste your time if it turns out it was just some drunk guy.
Regards,
Aidan

Overwatch No, you got that right. This isn't an ARG, but it's ARG-like.
If you go to www.tradecraftjournal.com the trail starts.
According to the Meta page for this project, it'll be a "multimedia storytelling project" of a similar vein to their previous project, Autumn Country .

Isn't tradecraft what CIA operatives and the like are trained in.

I downloaded Quicken 7 to listen to the audio files, but so far I don't understand how I'm supposed to do the listening. Can anyone give me some technical help?

argn.com There is an article about this project on the main page of argn.com. Sounds like it should be interesting.

Help Can anyone help? When I try to load the sound files it displays the quicktime logo with a big qeustion mark over it. I have quicktime 7.0.4. What's going on?

Thank you, ramiles, for your insight. Really, that was exactly what a new person like me is looking for in a forum like this. Ridicule. Over a typo.
Pariahchild, click on the little OverWatch graphic, and from there click on "Appendix." You are told to subscribe to an RSS feed or, if that doesn't work for you, near the bottom is a link to view the information on Blip TV. From the blip.tv site you'll be able to hear all the audio files.

Hey! Finally, an 'ARG', or atleast a semi-interactive story that is new. I have joined a few right near the end. I am pretty new to this, but I got to the file alright without the spoiler hint. Let me know what I can do to help!

phone number. Nope. AS far as I know, uh-uh. FYI, I called the Hotel number(The Westin Hotels number on Collateral 1 img 1, and it is a real number best I can tell.)

Claudia's number just beeps and tells you the time over and over again (EST, somewhere in Washington maybe?)
I followed the Westin number and site and it leads to a live person (the number on the site) who I'm pretty sure thought I was crazy. Still looking through the files and seeing what I can find.
