Not really sure where to put this, but I've got no idea if it has to do with a game I'm currently in or not. So, I got this email:

If you replace the numbers with letters, you get "
http tickoverticktockbytock jailwithnobars tick com. I'm assuming tick over tick means : and tock by tock means // so...http://jailwithnobars.com. No idea what it's for.

eta- doh! I missed the blogspot numbers.

So I'll leave it with you guys? Thanks for the relief I hadn't found some sick ransom note!

Later.

Mike.


Does anyone else find it a little awkward that this guy just shows up, gives us the scanned photo and leaves with no interest in trying to help us figure it all out?

His guest user name was Mike from NY... so the hard rock cafe from the video is most likely in New York.

This is my first post and the first time I've looked into an ARG game so... let me know what you guys think... I don't know if I'm just being paranoid or what?

Well Mike, watch the four videos on youtube.
Than ask yourself "Does this look real?". That should give you your answer.


Also ... were there four videos at some point? I just visited the user name who posted the videos and there are now only 3 videos. I sent the user on youtube a message but still no response yet.

M'eh, it's possible that he was the PM (or friend thereof), but that's not really a big deal as long as he doesn't post again.

I sent this message to the poster of the videos... trying to keep it simple at first.

Just sent to me in an email
Just throwing it out there

I got this website in an E-Mail when I was reading through my messages this afternoon.
It got through my spam blockers so I thought it might actually be something of significance. After looking through it, it seemed a lot like an ARG that was here a few months ago so I figured it was worth a shot.
Any thoughts?

Those videos are 48 Hours related and the isshestillalive videos change every so often, deleting old and replacing with new. The guy was most likely a ploy, my guess.

Looks like someone trying to give you clues on a code. Are you stuck on any codes in a game your playing? Also, I think I'll be saving that link. Anonymous email sending seems useful both to players and PMs.

I'd have to agree with you there. Definitely spam.
