It says this on the privatephone website:

Your password is the PIN you selected when you signed up over the phone.


OK, it may say that, but most people sign up for privatephones online... trust me on this. If you don't believe PINs are random then sign up for one yourself, make it in alaska and give a fake name if you need to... it randomly assigns a PIN. It's so much quicker to sign up online; I've done both.

The reason it's just a generic privatephone mailbox is because we're probably dealing with someone who put out the trailhead before he finished making his game, judging by the way things keep changing from what looked like an OOG blog to something that now takes place in 2050. He probably hasn't gotten around to changing the voicemail greeting, and might just be collecting phone numbers to call back later.

No offense to the PM, or anyone else... that's just my SPEC. Sorry if that sounded rude... lol. Didn't mean it to be... I just don't think people should waste their time trying to get to the messages when we haven't been told that this is our objective.

 		No, sure, I understand. Just saying that if there's anything tangible to mess with it doesn't hurt. ^.^

I'm also stumped right now.

Note to the PM, cause I know you're reading this board: STOP reacting to things we're saying, it makes you look bad.

wow... again 2 things the pm of ragnorok did. he answered the OOG board guess and he also started the ARG without any direction to the story. He also threw out a million clues that all had no real importance to them. when we finally solved one he acted as though he himself had to "check" to see if our solve was right. sooo annoying....

honestly IF this is really him, count me out. i spent way too much time solving things there, just to have a half assed story go straight to the middle of the desert aka NOWHERE.

if its not then i have been mistaken and appologize, but it still is very unprofessional to read these boards and use them IG. just a little tip. These boards are so we can discuss our plan of attack, without worrying if the PM is going to take what we say to heart, and not include us so much in the clues to come.

 		Youtube message:

Subject: use teamwork

ail.com

put them together



http://www.ail.com is an OOG defense contractor/company - so it's either a typo or a red herring?

Edit - oops, guess I'm overtired. I guess ail.com is the end of a url that we will need to "use teamwork" to find; so hopefully others were messaged other parts of the full url.

Edit2, ok - disregard my sleepiness, this was just the ending to the barcode translated by ocnorb ---> dotshroudSPLATgmail.com

 		Oh wow, that's disappointing! I really hope this isn't another Ragnorok affair... Crossing my fingers. Rolling Eyes Got a reply from when I emailed earlier about the privatephone.com PIN.

Can you help me find Ben's PIN? How can we check his messages?


So, maybe that is just a dead end.

 		maybe I am stupid but ....

On Ben's blog, under about he gives the name of the company he worked for and mentioned that it didn't have a web site.

I found a web site, one page, with a contact link that send an email to:


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
'ppl@mindtronic.com'web site: http://www.mindtronic.com/-/TNT/welcome.html


I am not confident enough as a gamer to email them, but was gonna contact them as if I had been consulting w/ ben on something but lost his contact info when my laptop and smartphone were stolen.

is it where we should be?

I should change my name to supernoob

 		Ok this is getting kinda weird.

Just received an email from dotshroud

Quote:
i want to stop the events. i need help to get the device running so we can prevent this all from happening. if you see Ben around, by the way, do not hesitate to tell him that Leader needs to know where he is.


I think Ben might be in danger.

Sorry for the double post, just realized I did
