Cthecret Cthanta Phrase courtesy of sapagoo So I come home from a trip to the post office to find this on my doorstep:
Now, I go downstairs and open it up to find this note:
(The Cthulhuese is translated on the flickr page.) The other thing inside was:
What the heck! Something strange is going on indeed! I know a PM got one, so it's not in-game. But who is the nice person behind all this nefarious Cthulhuing!

hehe, I just got one in the mail too. At a quick glance, the letter looks to be the same. I'll double check when I get back home.

I've got $5.00 riding on rowan (if the culprit still hasn't been sniffed out).

I just got my very own Agent Smith in the mail. He's so cute. The text of my letter is the same - although now I can see that there a very neat watermark on it (you can sorta make it out on Mapmaker's flickr image).
The oddest part of the whole thing - no postmark. Obviously Cthulhu uses a different delivery system other than the USPS (a delivery system that likes to use Christmas stamps)

I got an agent and a letter. The agent looks like the one j5 posted.
My letter is different though. I think Cthulu has been watching the 1-18-08 forum.

I too received an agent and a letter. My letter was sent to my old address too (which is still on my website's whois). No postmark either (except for the Seattle stamp when it was re-routed to my new address). Weird, but cool!

The letter is quite a good read! :P Note the "lethal action" vs. "legal action". These peeps play serious! <:o

I received an agent and letter in yesterday's mail (which I neglected to check until today).
It was sent to my old address, so agent C Smith was diverted about 900 miles out of his way... hence the delay.
Here is the letter I received (I'll just leave the old address... it's not mine anymore).
ETA: ignore the black line on the right side. That's not on the actual page, my scanner just sucks.

Sounds like you and Sid should update your whois to optimize ARG deliveries.
/me hopes book 3 isn't started with a package to Lovek.

I just updated the whois on my domain, which is where I'm guessing that address came from... so I'm ready for any packages that come my way (hint, hint).
