 		The reference to him going onto the SKYPE at that time would certainly make sense if that's true. I hope we don't just have to play a waiting game though, after how long it took to find this one site.

 		I was wrong
I was wrong, the number connected to the sound file are coordinates for a building in Bethesda ML. I believe it's a part of the National Institue of Health , but I'm not sure

 		So, I emailed him
I know, bad idea... or not.
Yes, I am brand new here. Anyways, I emailed John Green. My email isn't all that important, but I will post it if you want. His response was interesting however.

Quote:
Dear Andrew,

I truly appreciate your candor. It is a welcome change to the antics that have been going on over the past several days.

If you have been following some of this gamer speculation I can certainly see how you could be confused. The very simple fact is that Tradecraft Journal was shut down, but the site was never properly removed. Some files from a different project, Osprey, accidentally got placed on oneof the Tradecraft Journal servers. The Osprey project is no longer active, having come to its scheduled completion. Osprey dealt with procuring new footwear for domestic security forces. That is all I 'know'.

I 'speculate' that someone saw some of those Osprey files and interpreted them as having a very different meaning. That person probably told some other people about what they had seen (rightly so if they appeared to be that alarming) and I believe those people used what they had heard as the 'background' for some sort of entertainment or ad campaign.

I'm pretty sure that's all there is to it. If you are aware of any other wild speculation about this situation, I would appreciate it if you could let me know the names and contact information of people whom I might contact to advise them of what is really going on.

Thank you for your rational, and truthful, inquiry,

John Green


Hmm. Shoes.

 		Oh, you're welcome.
I haven't the foggiest idea what this mean...
Glad I could clear something up for you, because all this has done is left me in the dark.... Still, I suppose it could be something important. I emailed him back, and he to me, but nothing came out of the conversation.

 		HA! if that is an actor MAJOR SLIPUP!
look at past pages. in john green's first email with james(i forget the numbers), he said the only Osprey he knows was a bird! i think we finally got him in a corner and he's making excuses (or something...). your email REALLY helped us!

also, what would the audio files have to do with footwear? Julian thalberg going back to the states? strange phone messages? shoes? it just makes not sense that osprey dealt with shoes.

 		Ah, forgot about that first emal.
Duh...
Yea, it's obvious that it doesn't have to do with shoes. Forgot about the earlier email, it does seem like he is trying to hide something.

 		and why do you guys think he's gonna be on skype. just because the initials spell skype doesnt mean that he meant that as a clue...

also, DONT CALL HIM OUT ON IT! we need to figure out a way to use this to our advantage. an actor slipped up... this is just what we want, but tons of emails saying " HAHAHA YOU SLIPPED NOW GIVE US MORE INFO" will do nothing. one person should email him, AFTER we set up a plan

 		I saw Allentown things on skype too, but I assumed they were actually to do with Allentown, rather than the game.
We assumed he's on Skype because such an expo doesn't exist and the coincidence is worth investigating.

That 'shoes' email is nothing short of bizarre...

 		SKYPE
Well this is my first ARG. but i've been following it, i've read all the posts on it, and checked the blogs.

And right now I think our best bet is the SKYPE thing, because all the info from off the blog seems too much to be coincidence. Even though we shouldn't totally ignore everything else.

And sorry if this has already been posted several times over.

 		Jeffery Pike
I recieved this email from a certain Jeffery Pike at 6:36 today:
I'm sending this to everyone I've spoken to, if I have your email or
if you sent me a youtube message, because I don't know whose a gamer
and whose not anymore and I guess it doesn't matter. Listen, I put
scotch tape on my doorframe this morning after Cat gave me the idea to
do something like that to tell if someone came in here. When I got
home tonight the tape was broken. I tried not to go nuts or anything
til I found out for sure that Mrs. Fredericks hadn't come in here for
something so I went down there and asked her. She said no. Said she
had been working at the pet store all day taking care of the
parrots. That's when I got that feeling like someone just kicked me
right in the middle of my gut. She could tell somethin was up cause
she asked me if I wanted to sit down. I said no but that I thought we
should call the cops cause someone might be in my apartment. She
asked if it was broken into and I said maybe, but I didn't really
know. I could tell she didn't get that, but we called them from down
there and I stayed down in her place til they came. They showed up and
got the key from Mrs. Fredericks and went through the place to see if
there was anyone there. There wasn't. no forced entry, nothing gone,
nothing even disturbed, so they gave me this WTF look like why am I
wasting their time. and I didn't know what to say cause I'm so
confused by this shit. so I said that I had been getting a hard time
from some dude that was seeing my ex girlfriend. She had a key, so I
thought maybe he got it and was in there. didn't seem like they
really cared and they left. They told me to change the locks.

Now I don't know what to do, guys. I know this isn't a game at least.
The gamer people have all told me that gamers would never do
something like that. so that means this whole cluster is real or at
least someone thinks its real - not much difference i guess. Do you
guys know who was in here? how do I tell them that I have nothing to
do with this. Don't think I'm some kinda puss , OK. It's just that I
work at the DoI and I hang with people who were there when the whole
ft. marcy park thing went down. I wasn't around then, but people
remember that kinda shit and they talk about it, you now. that kinda
thing tells you that sometimes things HAPPEN to people.

i guess the first thing I do is change the goddam phone number, huh.
so I can't get any more calls from that guy. too bad for him, huh.
looks like he needs help too. he wants to talk to this Alan guy and
that lucky SOB has no idea any of this is even going on. if you guys
have any real ideas please let me know, ok. I'm really scared now. I
don't even now if I should stay here.
