Gone But Not Forgotten has updated his friends list. Check it out. They are all "Contestant [number]". He also has a new person, "waitress", on his friends.

"waitress" seems to be a page for a ton of ads for "www.silverladder.com", another ARG I've seen discussed here. All of these new "contestants" have different ages, genders and zodiac signs. All of them are single. All of them have only two friends: The famous Tom, and Gone But Not Forgotten. No info at all is on any of their pages, except for Contestant Two, who has their height listed as 0' 0".

EDIT: how could I miss this? All of their locations are listed as BEVERLY HILLS, California. Same as The Messenger and Gone But Not Forgotten. However, waitress is located in Phoenix, Arizona.

EDIT TWO: Man, I'm letting a lot slip past me today. Gone But Not Forgotten has posted something in his blog, but it is dated July 19th. I'm not a MySpace user - can you make blog dates back track when you post them?

Anyway, according to the blog, Gone But Not Forgotten is starting the new "game" (I'm assuming it's the "sick game" that was mentioned by the messenger). He's doing 10 people in the game instead of 8. I also noticed one glaring mistake that may or may not be a typo:

Quote:
I hope you people will due better this time, but then again I don't.


I'd mark this all as a spoiler, but it really isn't. All you have to do is look at his page to find all this info, not really spoiling anything.

Or... was this all there before and I somehow missed it? I really don't remember ANY of this stuff being there before...

Sorry for the double post, but Gone But Not Forgotten has posted a new blog entry on his myspace page.

Quote:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Ok it is time for you people to do something. To prove something to me. Todd used you people in his little game, but I am starting to wonder why. I am starting to lose my faith in you people. You have till 11:59pm Aug. 25th to prove to me you know what Todd Glassman did, or I go on without you. You are meant to guide my contestants. I wonder what they will do without you.


So, any ideas? Any other leads? By what we've got now, I can't find out ANYTHING Todd Glassman did - other than run the other game before. Maybe thats it? Someone with a MySpace account try shooting him a message, or something?

Other than the other game, there is no info.
For my first run at playing a game, this one's poorly conceived. He's either flat out given us the answer (the previous game) or he's being unnecessarily vague and sabotaging his own game. Either way, I'm out of this one.

I must admit that I, too, am rather bored with this particular ARG - it's rather slow (who am I kidding? It's EXTREMELY slow) and the puzzles... well, aren't puzzles, this is the first thing we've had to do except click around a dozen different MySpace pages. A mission giving us an entire month to "prove to me that you know what Todd Glassman did"? Come on.

I'll still check for more info, though, later. But I'm not going to bust my ass to find answers.

New Blog and Website!!

I'm sorry.

This may hurt us but I must say my part. You must understand that as the messenger I am not to interfere. All I am designed to do is give you the message. Yet here I feel I have no choice but to help. This may bring hell upon us, but I must take the risk. I can't let people die. I must try to be forgiven.

http://www.freewebs.com/themessagecenter/ Here is the link to the old site. Understand that it has been compromised. When this happened last I worked with you people so if you have any old files on things you have done in the past please, look though them. They might help.

Both Todd and the Messenger are on MySpace now. I sent Todd a email and here is the reply:

Quote:


Oh it will happen again, you can only hope that you play better then last time. Only saving two, it is a shame. Look back at the things you and your people have done, it might be helpful to remember the past.

I know what Todd did, and I'll make sure it doesn't happen again.




EDIT:

New Blog from "Messenger"

On the run

I talked.That means that they know where I am. I must go back into hiding. If tell you more I will just make things worse. I wish I could tell you more, but I am just the damn messanger! Damn it! I will try to be in contact but I am unsure if I will be able to. It is in your hands now. I trust you to do what is right. After all, your people did play this game before. Best of luck.

Everytime I see Todd Glassman I think Tom Tooman or whatever that game was? lol.

So, is this a completely singular ARG? Or, are we to assume this is a continuation of one which was played out previously which nobody seems to remember??

If you look at the old page of "The Messenger" it looks like someone writing on a stock chart (Buy etc) - I've just come across a blog called BULLy the BEAR - As some ppl might know Bulls & Bears is Stock-Market slang of some kind... Anyway on that blog mentions a book called "The Market Guru" which is by John Reese & Todd Glassman.

HUGE Shot in the dark but anyone think it could be related?

The journal... Very interesting story about what actually happened in the "Room of Doom"...




Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The Room of Doom
Eight people were trapped in a room. Blade, Kaite, Beth, Candy, Todd, Eric, Barry and Anthony. One of the people in the room was the person who trapped the others in the room. Using the computer in the room the people in the room reached out to people on the internet in various ways in an attempt to find out who the sicko was. The room then provided different ways to kill people. If they did not follow the rules and play the game, a bomb would go off. Here it is how it basically went down.

Kaite died from poison that was in her system in the beginning

Todd was placed in a guillotine, and Blade pulled a rope to release a blade. The blade did not kill Todd, but the rope became electrified killing Blade.

Todd then received a gun. He could not deal with the guilt of killing someone so he was going to fire it into the air. Afraid that this would brake the rules, Anthony stole the gun and shot at Eric. He missed and killed Candy.

The 5 remaining people were given 5 pills, one being poison. Anthony got the poison pill.

2 gas chambers were then placed in the room. 2 people must be put in them. Beth was knocked out and thrown in one and Todd went willingly into the other. It turns out that Todd was the killer and gave a speech about how Eric and Barry will never be able to fully live after all the death they caused. The two were then released.

Eric brought the police to the room, and I tagged along. The bodies were laid all about. Todd sat in his chamber with a sick smile on his face. I started to feel sick to my stomach, so I left the room quickly.

2 saved, 1 mad man killed, 5 innocents killed. At this rate I'll never get forgiven.

What an unforgettable story!





Also Todd Glassman was online when I went to check the sites (Myspace) for updates and he posted a comment on The Messengers comments..

Oh don't worry. The stronghold has nothing to do with what I am doing. I have made sure that they are cut off from this. The only person you have put at risk is yourself... or maybe your friends. Hmmm to think I did something that Todd could not, I got you to play. I would have been a good member. Have fun on the run.

New Blog by Todd

Quote:
Contestants

It is time I show you who will be in the room. Please remember that they do not have control over that myspace till we go into the room. Also remember that one of them is me. The game starts soon. It's strange. By now I thought there would be begging. "Please don't do this, it's wrong to play with human life like that." But no. No one is trying to spot me. You guys are heartless, I like that.


EDIT:

We now have pictures up of the first 3 contestants
Jake Roman, Kate Vic, and Mary Ritz.

Gah! Jake's been up since last night... I just thought cos it had a pic he was one of us and didn't bother adding as a friend or anything >.<

Doing so now.

Edit: Also added their AIM Screen Names and something I've observed already which could be nothing... But both Jake and Katie's AIM names are like TrappedKatie / TrappedJake etc.

Mary Ritz' happens to be just MaryInTheRoom - As though she isn't trapped.

I'm probably just reaching but thought I'd better suspect the cop first, cos no-one else ever does!

Alright, now this is getting intresting. Good. :D

EDIT:

I tried sending messages to all three of them over AIM, all of them got an error message: "refused by client". Huh. I've also sent e-mails to everyone, and they haven't bounced back - here's to hoping that they actually answer.

It is mentioned that none of them will have access to their communications until they enter the room though. So possibly we'll just have to wait?

RULES
New Blog Entry

Quote:
Rules

I think it is time I fully explain the rules. I have chosen 9 people to join me in my own room of doom. In this room will be various ways the people in the room to kill each other. Your job is to guide these people to kill me and not each other. The moment I die the surviving contestants will be freed. Now in case you choose not to have anyone kill anyone is the room is also a bomb. If you choose not to play, we all die.

To help you I have given every contestant a myspace, e-mail and AIM name. Currently they do not have access to it. They don't even know they are contestant! They will be given the passwords to those things when they enter the room, so there is no use in trying to talk to them yet. In the room is a computer that will turn on at random, giving them the chance to ask you for help.

Lastly here is a clue:
One is an expert
one is a thief
one is a family member
one is a double agent
one has an eating disorder
on is a model
one is a drug addict
one is indecisive
one is transgender
and one is me

Find out who is who and kill me to win. See you in the room.


EDIT: Jade Fox is Contestant 4. Frank Aber is Contestant 5. Sam Simmons is contestant 6. Tony Zappeno is Contestant 7.

As expected. no replies.
