Maybe sum1 should post a comment on the article, and let them know that its posibbly from the DJ ARG. Seeing as how the package is from the UK and the message "I was Blind" are kind of dead giveaways, as to those headphones belonging to us... Razz

I would do it myself, but sometimes my Blackberry browser doesn't play good with scripts and java :-\

Done - comment awaiting moderation.

That is exactly what has happened here, alisdair, if you'd just read ^^^. Anyway, to get back on the topic, I've looked at the photos, and just don't get why a person who "found" a camera, would put a hidden message in the caption to the uploaded photos. (and then post twice about it in a public forum). It just doesn't add up. Good luck with this one PM.


This post made a lot more sense to me once I realized you may have been referring to my first post in this thread and mistaking me for the OP posting again under a different name, trying to drum up interest.

Which I assure you I'm not. But I can easily see how the confusion might have sprung up.

 		Yay. Something more to work on. Got the same bunch of anagrams and been searching around all the 'usual' places for "I was blind" but not turning up much. There IS a blogspot but it's from 2003 (http://iwasblind.blogspot.com/) pretty sure THAT'S not relevant.

 		Uh... new message from James.

I feel odd posting this, but considering the nature of his past message I don't think I can censor it in case it means anything special.

So here goes:

We know of someone that received the headphones and the message "I was blind... and now there are 3. "

What does this mean? Who are you? Who is the woman in the pictures?

Don't ever accuse me of holding back information... Shocked

I don't have the means to check it right now, but could it be...

Morse code?

 		Yeah, it translates to:

YOUTUBECRAZYCITYCOUNCILSPEAKER


EDIT: Aaaaand, that gets you this. And only that.

EDIT: And I found Mr. Crazy City Council Speaker's Facebook. Or what purports to be his facebook, it appears to be a joke of some sort. So, dunno if it's relevant.

 		Yeah, I just found that. Incidentally, Mr. Charles Kriel's homepage is http://www.kriel.tv/.

And the comment he left was:

 		Mr Helicopter and the Crazy City Council Speaker
The lyrics that are in Mr Helicopter on the myspace page...sounds like they are parts of the "Issue" raised by the Crazy City Council Speaker...

the opening lines are a play on "I've been ready to explode"

"I'm here tonight"

"It keeps shaking"

"it was the same helicopter that flew over my house on sunday afternoon"

"I was threatened"

damnit...can't type fast enough...but i'm certain now....

30 feet of my roofline...magonlia tree...yep....

EDIT: Hope I don't have to listen to that mp3 again, it REALLY creeps me out

 		Damn MP3 is catchy Laughing Well, definitely seems ot be the crazy guy's speech and I'm guessing we were supposed to figure that out without the creative morse message (which, incidently, is also added as a blog on James Niceday's page now: http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=358663263&blogID=371357060)

The Kriel guy looks pretty official. I've looked at all his stuff and can't find anything relevant. Feeling a bit lost now.

 		So this turned in to a dead end? We're directed to some loon that's been around for a while and apparently OOG. The only contact we have is from some character we know absolutely nothing about that has yet to speak a complete sentence. And we have absolutely no idea what this is about.

But somebody went through the effort of mailing ARGN a set of headphones... ?!?

What now?

First, let me refute the ridiculous claim of mr ckriel, above: LOL, indeed. This is nothing more than another random attempt to lay claim to my work. MY work. That mr ckriel should possess the audacity to hope that he, whoever he may be, could create this fiction is quite sad, isn't it? It is MY work. As for his little tune, it is a very little tune indeed, without my morse(d) addition, to which all, apparently, were blind (or rather, deaf).

Second, who is this J-something-something (I cannot remember), granted a privilege as Guest to our discussion, and then, as with mr kriel, lending the appearance of being the creator, even through his denial. Is this (perhaps) not just some rival? Some over-ambitious self-deluded maker of fictions, possessed of designs for the destruction of my own, aborting it at birth, vainly stepping in, as though my identity were but a placeholder, tossing the TOS?

I am Ray Stillwell, not you, mr J-something-something. Me! I am the monkey! I am the dog! And I will not be undone!

 		I'm guessing from the first of these messages that there is some morse code in the mp3. There may be some clicking very low under the beat, but any time the music comes up, it can't be heard. The file may have to be processed to hear anything for sure. I'm not really that interested in doing that, though. Maybe someone with more time can see if they can find anything in the song. Of course, the MP3 can't be downloaded right now because of the weird "requires payment" error. So, who knows?

A quick google for "Ray Stillwell" came up with "Billy Ray Stillwell," a character in a video game from 2001 called Twisted Metal: Black. Wikipedia says there's another Twisted Metal series game coming out this year. But the whole DJ motif doesn't seem to relate at all to the games, which are all about car combat.
