 		Alrighty so talk of a new video later on, Tom has a seizure. The voice does sound like Tom alright. So maybe this is a revenge plot but the whole "american dream" "rich and poor" speech was really moving.

 		Alright guys, research time. John J. Bono. Supposed lawyer in Frankfort, NY.
The problem? He doesn't exist. Yeah, we found the sites saying he is a lawyer. (Me and Jooly are we) But the thing is all of those sites have an add a lawyer ish option so I could say I'm a lawyer from Fiji. I checked the phone number on white and yellow pages. All it listed is Llion, NY and I can't find that on Google Maps. I doubt he exists. I say until maria gets her act together, we look up this guy.

 		I like this because it validates that this is an ARG. Smile

(Sorry, I'm still trying to rationalize that this is actually an ARG in my mind.)

 		Alright the map shows it at the interesection of two roads, E Main and some other road. So that checks out but if I do research, he simply doesn't exist. Phone number turns up nothing in White and Yellow pages, all I got was Llion, NY. These could've easily been planted as I can't find a list of cases he's been involved with.

To me, he's fake and our next attention point.

 		Apparently the phone number makes fax tones when called - is there anyone who can send this guy a fax? Maybe just ask his interest in medical research?

Edit: plus, Nobuofan - do you think it was wise to allege this guy doesn't exist in the s137 forums? Maybe he exists just enough to have a role in this game.

Plus: passwords? Greentara?

 		You're right, I think I'll modify it to say that he should be looked into.

yeah, greentara. Passwords. Answers?

 		Hi its Haltorn
if you have looked at my posts on the other forums.. i do believe that this is just a game.. not because of the videos or such but the 138islate posting on youtube under an arg video saying "how can you post a 30 minute video but i cant?" then he follows up with "you don't believe in me I don't in you too Wink>" and that was a week ago that he posted that.. so thats the evidence that i believe that this is just a game and nothing more..

the link is just the source that i base my theory

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9kGQx42aUE

P.S a message that i sent to akyoko

its a possible arg.. it all adds up.. you know the thing about us knowing maria.. well if all of us lives in differnent parts of the country / world how are we going to know who maria is right? down to the tee of her favorite skirt... one would believe that she could be planting information.. another thing is that her website that she said she had gotten for the project well it was registered by a man. another thing that i had noticed is that the 138 is late person posts on a video in youtube none less in a ARG video post about how to do an ARG, stating "you don't believe in me I don't in you too Wink>" and of course ive been hooked on this that i do want to see what will happen like a story now and will play along with everyone but i needed to find out the truth thats how i have been trained by a few of my friends to do.. like alice on the forums Smile except she is way better then me at everything hehe.. well write back.. Smile keep posting on that forum and if you dont believe me i will keep looking for ways to find out so that i can show everyone that it is an ARG..

and also a friend of mine traced the phone number that is listed on the site when i google mapped it it was pointing to a NYSC Building.. and the numbers in that building are doctor office numbers.. but nothing out of the ordinary.. hopefully that does help as well Smile

also sorry for editing this post so many times but information keeps coming up.. passwords.. that does ring a bell.. anyone here forget there passwords depending on if you get to choose it or not right? also usually forum registration will send you a password to log in (in your email).. so how could maria forget the password to her own forum to log in.. therefore using guest Wink also why would maria double post 2 minutes later when she could have just said that she was going to make another board? just certain things just flip me the wrong way i would say..

 		Hey we were waiting for you to show up! On behalf of all of us, UnFiction and this forum welcome you. Anyway, NYSC? I know what that means...but I can't remember, but they are all doctors numbers. Also can you talk to your friend about looking up John Bono's number? I think that is planted to and that will be the fish in the barrel. Maria did "forget" her password, but what did GreenTara have to do with this. My guess: Maria contacted her and now it's an inside job. I've PM'd and emailed GreenTara asking for info but nothing yet. The next video comes in three days and I have no doubt we'll have something before then. Haltorn, I hope to hear your input. PM me with an easier way to contact you.

-Will

 		Alright, just talked to Maria via AIM and she really freaked me out at the end. But she will update soon.

Quote:
[20:27] nobuofanXIII: Hey Maria, how goes the search?
[20:32] mariaail: Just got home. Long trip
[20:32] mariaail: How is everyone
[20:32] mariaail: The message boards seem slow
[20:35] nobuofanXIII: Everyone seems alright.
[20:35] nobuofanXIII: Did you ever find your password?
[20:35] mariaail: you know I saw that while I was away. I have no idea that this guy's talking about
[20:35] nobuofanXIII: nor do we.
[20:36] nobuofanXIII: We tried to contact GreenTara but we can't seem to get a response.
[20:36] mariaail: he was a guess so it could be the same guy that uploaded the video I have and the person I think we all think send them to me or he could be someone pretending to be him
[20:36] nobuofanXIII: possibly
[20:37] mariaail: I saw on your other board that there was someone named greentara but I havn't seen her at my board for some time
[20:37] nobuofanXIII: Yeah
[20:37] nobuofanXIII: nor on our board.
[20:37] nobuofanXIII: Which is strange enough in itself.
[20:37] nobuofanXIII: She's usually active
[20:37] nobuofanXIII: Anywho, where'd you head on your travels?
[20:39] mariaail: west coast
[20:40] nobuofanXIII: Out in Cali and such?
[20:40] mariaail: I'll fill you guys in soon but I need to unpack and settle in. I just walked in the door.
[20:40] nobuofanXIII: Of course.
[20:40] mariaail: I'll put the new video up later tonight or tomorrow....
[20:40] nobuofanXIII: Can I ask you a quick question?
[20:40] mariaail: sure
[20:40] nobuofanXIII: It's about the forums
[20:40] mariaail: okay
[20:40] nobuofanXIII: People were asking about the Karma feature
[20:40] nobuofanXIII: I'm not sure if you answered it, just wanted to ask so I can elaborate to the others.
[20:41] mariaail: I think it's a self policing type of thing
[20:41] mariaail: I never had a board before but it seems that anyone with a real user name can rate others
[20:42] mariaail: so that nut cast who's posting every five mintues should get a knock down lol
[20:42] mariaail: is that guy on your game board?
[20:42] nobuofanXIII: Akyoyo...
[20:42] nobuofanXIII: No
[20:42] mariaail: yea I think so
[20:42] mariaail: he's a little bird brained
[20:42] nobuofanXIII: He seems so.
[20:42] nobuofanXIII: I talked to him a little
[20:43] nobuofanXIII: So did that vincent guy, he wanted to kill 138 or whoever he is.
[20:43] mariaail: see this is the thing, I don't want you to think now that he's part of a game. I've tried to tell you all many times I'm not running a puzzle or game here.
[20:43] nobuofanXIII: Oh I know.
[20:43] nobuofanXIII: I personally believe you.
[20:44] mariaail: So please don't make this birdbrain into something important
[20:44] nobuofanXIII: No problem there
[20:44] mariaail: Same with the John Bono thing.
[20:44] mariaail: Heck, it could have been a wrong number
[20:44] nobuofanXIII: True, but my paranoia makes me investigate every little thing.
[20:45] mariaail: it's funny cause I know one or two of you guys called and hung up then called back... I guess to see if the number is real
[20:45] nobuofanXIII: I never called myself.
[20:45] mariaail: Hey maybe your right but I just want to be honest with you all.
[20:45] nobuofanXIII: Of course, I get that.
[20:45] mariaail: okay then, I got to run.
[20:45] mariaail: talk to you soon
[20:45] nobuofanXIII: Alrighty, of course.
[20:45] mariaail: You're Will right?

[20:45] nobuofanXIII: Yes...how did you know?
[20:46] nobuofanXIII: Ohhh
[20:46] mariaail: HAHAHAHAHHAAHA
[20:46] nobuofanXIII: I posted it.
[20:46] mariaail: no just joking
[20:46] mariaail: lol
[20:46] nobuofanXIII: ....You've lost me.
[20:46] mariaail: I was pretending to be all powerful and knowing...
[20:46] mariaail: bad joke
[20:46] mariaail: sorry
[20:46] mariaail: lol
[20:46] nobuofanXIII: Nah, it's alright.
[20:46] mariaail: yea I know your name cause you posted it
[20:46] mariaail: Talk to you soon Will.
[20:47] nobuofanXIII: I hope so.
[20:47] nobuofanXIII: Update us soon Wink
[20:47] nobuofanXIII: =)
[20:47] nobuofanXIII: *
[20:47] nobuofanXIII: that one.

That last part seemed way out of line....I'm so lost on what that's supposed to mean.

 		first of all the video did make me laugh.. it had the weird beeping at the beginning of course.. it was normal routine, with the doc shocking him and such.. then he fakes a seizure w/ some alka seltzer, winks at him, and then the doc gets all mad and angry.. of course during this whole video they were blocking the doctors face but we all should have seen the doctors face in the still frame. then the video ends with the doctor stating that the next phase is coming.. you can leave now if you want to.. and such..


haltorn

ps that was just a quick runthrough of the video

 		Okay all you guys, sorry I didn't respond before now! I've been really busy and have neglected to check up as often as I should.

I mailed 138islate on youtube telling him I wanted to help and such. Here are the transcrips of our correspondance.

Quote:

Original Message:

His response to my first message, which continued with "Maria can only help so much..." or something like that.

Quote:
Unless, unless.... Unless she thinks this is a game too like you Tara or is it Sylive? So hard to keep straight here. Maybe I should call you. That way you'll know I'm real. The 5169 number?


Tell Maria she really should use her cat's name for her password.

Original Message:

> Unless, what?


Wow, the last one there surprised me. I really can't think of how he'd have gotten ahold of my cell number without knowing numbers taht had called Maria. When I logged in to get the first it was there and I hadn't seen it before. I sent him a message back telling him to call me, so we could sort all this out...Let's see if he does.
