[Spec] Odd comment to The Effect blog

WTF? This probably could have gone on The Effect's main thread, but, still... Do you think they're referring to the Slusho answering machine? This is bloody weird. I can't make heads or tails of it. I input the equation into my calculator, and got 3.190711926x10^18. I'm confused. Do you think maybe the Puppetmasters are using us?

Maybe that's the extention number you need to get through to Tagruato and ParaFun... ?

I followed the voicemail's directions, but the moment I press a number, it starts dialing for Togashi....

The reason it was bringing me to Togashi was because I was not inputting numbers quickly enough. But putting 3912 gives me the same operating message over and over again, and putting the number 16364656163656 does not work either....but I though that we determined by this point that this wasn't the kind of ARG that involved riddles/puzzles/math? I wish there was a way to tell if this was IG or not... Crying or Very sad

I suggest that massive number I posted earlier that's the product of all of those numbers multiplied, but I'm beginning to suspect this is someone screwing with us, because I doubt the puppetmasters would have found out about The Effect and posted something in-game on it this quickly, yet not have updated the Tagruato site and saved it from the hack.

Depends on how much they're following folks like unfiction and whether it'd be in character for 'the cause' or 'TIDOO' or whoever to have jumped on something that fast. Unfortunately, that still leaves it a solid 50-50 that it's just garble. Meh.

What if you leave out the sixes? You can't drink just six?

Or just do the seven sixes and none of the other numbers? The "x" doesn't have to be a multiplier, right?

Heh... I had it translated as "Large", however if I had payed attention I would have seen Amemasu in parenthesis
