 		So...I guess that means that (1) Phebco has access to all of BFB's shows (or they have a small/reusable clip library) and (2) we have to wait until the 10th, right?

Well...at least its in less that a month... *sigh* I hope Donnie returns our emails before then.

 		So I just chatted with sn4tchbuckl3r on Skype...He is usually away or set to "busy" while "lvl'ing in WOW" anyways...here is the interesting stuff from the conversation.

Quote:
[9:31:12 AM] sn4tchbuckl3r says: ya, hilarious
[9:31:28 AM] sn4tchbuckl3r says: dude is in serious pain right now LOL
[9:31:50 AM] blaqueice says: i got that from his videos
[9:31:51 AM] blaqueice says: haha
[9:31:55 AM] sn4tchbuckl3r says: he he
[9:32:06 AM] blaqueice says: he seems ready to snap
[9:32:07 AM] sn4tchbuckl3r says: bro needs to punch one through the hoop
[9:32:11 AM] sn4tchbuckl3r says: :0
[9:32:17 AM] blaqueice says: is he back from his trip?
[9:32:29 AM] sn4tchbuckl3r says: no, man. still at the f'in airport
[9:32:36 AM] sn4tchbuckl3r says: like for five days
[9:33:38 AM] blaqueice says: why?
[9:34:50 AM] blaqueice says: customs?
[9:35:32 AM] sn4tchbuckl3r says: dunno. said something about big time computer probs at his work. screwed up travel itinerarys and
[9:35:55 AM] sn4tchbuckl3r says: his boss is a pr*ck and I think something went wron on the trip
[9:36:14 AM] sn4tchbuckl3r says: he needs to git paid somewhere else LOL


at this point I realized that in the movies we always see sn4tchbuckl3r popping up on Donnie's Skype.........therefore Donnie obviously has Skype as well.

Quote:
[9:40:16 AM] blaqueice says: you think he would mind if I added him to Skype?
[9:40:43 AM] sn4tchbuckl3r says: i don know dude. I
[9:40:45 AM] sn4tchbuckl3r says: he he
[9:41:13 AM] blaqueice says: if you give me his skype SN i wont tell him it was you that gave it to me
[9:41:21 AM] sn4tchbuckl3r says: ROFL
[9:41:51 AM] sn4tchbuckl3r says: not hard to figure out Wink
[9:41:54 AM] sn4tchbuckl3r says: gg
[9:41:57 AM] sn4tchbuckl3r says: peace, bro


So I tried both of Donnie's Emails we had in the skype search...along with his name...first and last...nothing was coming up...then I tried donniehoyle and that found a result!

There is no guarantee that it is our Donnie, but I am assuming it is...there is no info in the profile and he isnt online at the moment...but if he does come on I will let you guys know what goes on.

 		Nice! First of all, this means Donny can start answering some emails, not the automatic responder. And a good time to see if the skype user is really donny.
Other thoughts: the quality of the video isn't very good, so any potencial clues might be overlooked. Like there's seems to be something written on the phebco desktop image, something like "do not install applications without consulting phebco" but I can't make the upper line. Also, there are a lot of emails there (probably some from us!! - EDIT: actually, I just saw it again and saw an email I send him there - Ricardo Fonseca. Also, there are some Mailer Daemons there, that means he's been sending some emails also, right? END OF EDIT) but with the quality of the video I can't see anything properly.

I'm starting get the same vibe as cloverfied, like there's no ARG whatsoever and they're going on with no plan, just making it along as they go because of the popularity of the videos. Let's hope not!

EDIT 2: google searching his boss "Geoff Thathmobil", the only result is a previous post I did on this thread. Well, now probably two results!

More on Mr. Sn4tchbuckl3r, doing a google search and passing all the you suck at photoshop video references, we get a link to a board where sn4tchbuckl3r (the real one?) has been posting. Is a message board called "the wasteland" and he is listed as a she, and has 1839 posts, registered on Aug 7, 2005, 2:31pm. That seems OOG but the last post is on a thread by the title "Is World of Warcraft evil?" (on the 5th february I think). Google also links me to this board http://www.okgamers.com/forums/index.php?topic=960.45 but i can't find our friend there.
No email answers also.

We need some clues Phebco!


his profile on SKYPE says : lvl'ing in Durotaur again. D'oosh.

Hope this helps. and he's online now with do not disturb all he says is LOL

 		I got a sneaky suspicion Sn4tchbuckl3r can be found in WoW. (I don't play)

Durotuar
Quote:

The starting zone for Trolls and Orcs alike, Durotaur is one of my least favorite starting zones in the game. The terrain is unremarkable, the enemies range from too easy to too difficult for the starter levels, and to be honest, there's not a whole lot to do. Durotaur does have the advantage of being well connected (with access to The Barrens, Azshara, and Ashevale and zeplins to Stranglethorn Vale and Tirisfal Glades), but most players won't spend too much time here.

 		I do play, but unfortunatly there are many limitations...

First, Character names must be completely Alpha, so The same name is not going to be allowed.

Second, Durotar is a starting area for the Horde, true, but it exists on every one of their MANY MANY servers available to play on. We'd have to know the server.

BUT, if you could get his Character's name, we could (possibly) find his server, then I could log in and chat him....

Search players names on http://armory.worldofwarcraft.com

 		The WoW idea is good, I can imagine some interaction going on there in the near future. I don't play so I'm taking a back seat on that.
I emailed donny again to see if he responds this time, and I also emailed Crazy Automated Response System (CARS™) and the rest of donny's co-workers. Let's see what happens next.

EDIT: got the same automated message from donny.

 		Hehe Very Happy saw my email on the video! I feel like I'm part of some internet phenomena now Very Happy

...and I don't think I'll ever look at constipation the same way again x_X

lhilt, where did you see Phebco's new dialog? I didn't see any on the main site (just the same old message).

Judging by the video we need to try calling Donnie via skype. I don't use it...unless you can text-chat through it or something...but I'd suggest whoever will call him do it at night...it looks like its 11:12 PM in the video.

(and maybe record the conversation? Very Happy)

Just had an idea - I'm going to email Donnie and mention Phebco's awakening. I don't think it'll be a problem...will it?

 		chuStar, in my last email to donny today i mentioned that there was something wrong with the phebco website, but all I got was the same automated response from him telling he would be away from 1 to 11th of february. But you could try your luck.
Natas, that's cool. Do it! Immerse yourself in Wow and if you can grab some pics so we can see!
