Hey alagamer.

Welcome to UF and to the game. Thanks for confirming some of our suspicions about the numbers being for a phone.

Could you give us a better idea of the voice mail message? Were you able to leave a message yourself?

Search "Traces of Hope" at AlertNet, there's an article about the campaign and at the bottom a link to a night-time vid of Joseph trying to avoid gunfire while out of the camp gathering firewood. Alan is the poster and if you click on his profile there's this message [along with numbers and gobbledy stuff I'm assuming could be real or imposed "upload" artifacts ... or not?]:

Hello all. Am jumping in on this one too Laughing

Been a long time since I joined in with a ARG.

Kinda annoy already because I signed up last week & still hadnt got a email then I decided today Id check my Junk Mail. And noticed I had ... messagesSPLATquantumsat.com. Why go to the junk mail Rolling Eyes

So I replyed to the message from J asking what he was going to Hopetown for and asked if he needed any help with anything.

Hey sexie and cat... great to see more people joining in.

@sexie... don't hold your breath waiting for a response. Thusfar, all of the Quantum emails are "dead". Kind of a shame, really, to prominently display several email addresses and not expect people to try and use them...

Oh well.

As klang and others have said, it looks as if this is a waiting game for now... (unless we're missing something really obvious).

How about this... for anyone who wants to and can call Alan's sat phone, why not leave a message asking if Joseph made it to Hopetown. This would be reasonable considering he emailed us to say that's where he was headed.

Any other ideas?

Slik is web based, so there must be a url somewhere. We clearly need to find this to use with the map uploaded at http://www.flickr.com/photos/alanhackston/2918330947/sizes/o/

Incidentally, Alan Hackston added me back on LinkedIn. His contacts are someone at Enable interactive and one of the Red Cross web team (and me now)

Hey tkerby and tephi. Glad to hear from the both of you!

Yes, tephi, I think many of us have been tapping our fingers, though I agree with olly... Just before going to bed last night, I realized that I hadn't looked at Alan's blog or other accounts since first finding them. So it was always possible that the next part of the story was being revealed and (at least) I was missing it.

From tkerby's discovery at flickr, this suspicion might just be right.

So, a map it is... although, I don't think it's absolutely "clear" that we're supposed to be using Slik and this map at this time. It would seem that we'd have to have another prompt from the story, which is what we've been waiting for.

I would phone but I don't have a landline and I can't afford to buy credit for my mobile at the moment Sad

Pressing * on the voicemail gets you into the admin menu where you can record greetings and listen to messages although it needs a pin code 81 is the option you need to login
