WORK? quit that...
overwatch is way more important! lol

St Kits...

Kit is a nickname for Catherine. St. Catherine hotel is in Belgium, Near the Brussels Expo.

(There is also a St. Catherine in Niagara. but I don't think it's related)


No, Julian was not at SXSW. Julian was in the army. Alan, Tpetal, and Larry are the ones that were at the conference.

Why not ask tpetal something about the area? Something about the castle that had art stolen from it. Ask him if he has been there? Or if he can see it from his hotel? www.kasteelgrootbijgaarden.be Ask how the gardens look? Does anyone think it would be a good idea to email the castle and ask what art was stolen?

I'm pretty sure St. Kits is part of the code for Skype: "St. Kits Yearly Planning Expo." I think Tpetel is in his home, and will be moving on from the KMQ blog at the very least, and possibly SKYPE, as well. That blog's getting a little hot. who's this Ian character, random web vandal or John Green/Renny Duncan?

I emailed a museum user's group (the only other people on the internet to post a story about the theft) about the inventory of the theft. I have a keen university account that allows all sorts of probing yet innocent sounding questions. It may pay to email the Castle, as well. I don't expect I'll hear back from the folks I contacted. I know someone who is fluent in French and I can probably get her to help me with an email Belgium.

Two of the most important things we need from him are future contact info and advice on gaining the trust of the Heaven is a Secret folks.

I'm going to grind away on my spec and try to post it when I get home.

In the mean time, if we want to chase the art lead (and I think it may become pretty important soon) look for galleries in the Notting Hill area of London (julians flat seems to be on Stanley Crescent in Notting Hill--51,30,44.42(n)-00,12,16.28(e)), especially ones with openings/changes in management in March or late February of 2006. Also, who is/are the critic(s) for the Telegraph (which I presume is in London).

Ian's message

Don't know who Ian is, but his message is a cryptogram

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
If you have information that can confirm Alan
Portmans identity,
I can pass it on The Treasure Hunter

Shocked

This sounds very, very bad. I suspect that this person is not one of us.

Don't Panic

It was only me, I was trying to coax some information out of him, unfortunately my timing was off, and by the time I had posted my comment he had left a new entry, I used the Gold Bug substitution cipher found at the link below

skype

yes, I know it stands for skype...but I was trying to figure out why he keeps mentioning it....st kits, the beach, at his hotel,back to the expo....5 miles from Kasteelaan van Groot is Sainte Catherine hotel w/Brussels expo there also....maybe coincidence, maybe not.

The phone number for the heaven website is registered to Global Crossing Local Servcies, Inc (yes, services is spelled wrong).....this appears to be a company that hosts many companies, somehow digitally sending stuff around the world....so that would make sense how a local landline number can be used.

wonder what tpetal stands for.....I keep thinking it's a girl.

 the paranoia has set in / Questions for Tpetal

HAH! I saw some cryptic jumble and just lost it. I even managed to convince myself that the wording was sinister Razz Glad to know the visibility of his blog is still limited to only us.

as many things as i've read wrong so far, this may be less than helpful, but I think his mentions of st. kitts are meant only (but please don't heed my foolishly limitated interpretation) to direct us (by reminding us) to skype. My take is that he will be abandoning the KMQ blog and the Tpetal skype ID after we next make contact.

Briefy, the questions I'd like answered:

How will we gain the confidence of Karla and Pete (Heaven is a Secret)?
How will we be able to locate him in the future?
Is he familiar with the art heist?
Has he had contact with either David Waters or Julian Thalberg?
Is he familiar with this affair beyond the documnets we've seen so far?
Does he know or know of Elena Saarinen?
Warn him again about John Green, Renny Duncan, Claudia Reece, and Scott Hargrave, also William (whoever he is).

There are possibly more, and I'm sure others have things they'd like to know. I hope I'll be able ot make it that late (1:20 here, and I get up at 6:00 Sad ) It would be great if one of our more western members could grab this one.

Good work and good luck

i told john green everything he knows EVERYTHING he knows about the blog, t.petal and kmq. your all doomed HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


[OOG] So I'm hoping that no self-respecting PM is going to integrate this forum information.[OOG]

Wasn't he around in the first few pages of the thread? Any reason anyone can think of he'd want to grief? Not really disturbing so much as annoying.

Doomed?

<OOG>Well, to be quite honest, it's really up to them. We aren't doomed, for sure, but there might be an odd little plot twist. Some PMs may be evil, but I haven't met a one who is that evil.</OOG>

P.S. I may or may not be visiting SKYPE tonight, but one way or another, I will be identifying myself as Mycroft Doyle, for obvious reasons. (I happen to have a bunch of holmes-related covers sitting around, and y'all may get to see a few if this thing runs its course.)

P.P.S. To any mods, Methinks this might have a place in the potential forum, seeing as the thread is nearing the 50 page count.

Potential?
From what I've researched and seen unfold....

I think this is a full fledged ARG being run by some very interesting and dedicated PMs. Idea

I believe the same could be said of it's players too. Wink

This ARG definitely needs /bumped.

Very Happy

Skype Meeting

Alright, i can be on during the skype meeting.
But before I go on, I need you guys to collaborate and tell me:
Who i am talking to
What time(pacific,mountain,etc.)
What we NEED to know
What we WANT to know
What my cover is
How exactly to use Skype
How my personality should be
And anything else I should know

BTW i live by cleveland so I can check out somethings in cleveland

Edit: my proxy is blocking skype, so i cant get on, but we should still make a list of what we need to do

Skype, tonight

I appreciate the offer, Johnny, but this business with the philosopher has me a little nervous about the meeting. I think I'm gonna make it myself and hope for the best. Disregard the PM, I think i was being a little over cautious there, but just so the rest of the gang of "stalkers" (as T has come to call us) knows not to miss their bed times, I'll try to make the meeting.

hehe i was hoping he meant 10:20 Eastern. . . guess i'm in forhte long haul.

Yeah this guy has been a long known spy. HE is a little slow though. He thinks that he is going to get some sort of prise for helping john green. Don't pay him any mind.
