great intel... i skim through a Couple passages, seems like it's an imaginative story, i'll be the 1st one to jump at the chance at sayin it's IG. You'll just have to observe both the story & the game i assume.

I was thinking over where we should go with this now during lunch today. Maybe I've been overthinking it, but I came up with an idea, at least.
I'm thinking we've another blog to find. My (sketchy) train of thought:
-On Ally's flickr page, the one photo she has up is tagged "Where Is Mariah".
-The paper on the neck of the guitar reads 'B.' (Blog-spot?).
-Following that, the hint we were given by J.A. is linking the name of the blog to the song, or album somehow. (The album name is Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, as a note).
I haven't had a chance to really follow up on this line of thinking, but I figured I'd throw it out there and see if it sticks.

I think I just stumbled over Mr. Occam's razor.
Nice find, natas.

So I got these two emails in my inbox. Two different email addresses, two different names at the end, but the same message in them.
shtgnsinnr8308SPLAT aol.com wrote:
Black Mariah is dead.
Long live the king.
- Ross
The subject was titled "With regards to Allison".
The next one:
wildeydjokr8308SPLAT aol.com wrote:

- Seth
The subject of this one is "In reply to Allison's inquiry." The period is there in the subject line, not added by me. Of note is that there is a space in the first email, between the last line and the subject line, and there is no such space in the second one. I ctl-a'd and found no hidden text in either message.
I'm going to reply to them both with a challenge to "the king" just to see what happens.

Got them as well. They openly CC'd it to a whole bunch of addresses, which I'm assuming are the rest of us.
Edit: Removed some random thought

Great, so we found her blog and now she's dead.
Maybe one of those openly CC'd addresses was Allison?
Could someone forward it to me so I can check it out when I get home?

FYI, I stegdetect'd the converse shoes image on BM's blog, but it came up negative.

Hey there. So, I noticed that those two e-mail addresses are both references to the lyrics of the song again. Just a thought. I'm still stuck on this B on the guitar. That's gotta be the biggie here.

Uh...I don't think that's the right blog, guys. I got replies to my responses to the most recent emails.

Soooo...Natas, that other girl is going to be really surprised at all the comments on her blog.
EDIT: In the entry titled "Finality" on Black Mariah's blog, the capitalized letters (not counting the ones that should be capitalized) spell out AMSTILLFIGHTING. Not sure if this will be significant to us, since Black Mariah seems to be among the dead, but I figured I'd mention it.

Still related, maybe?
Ok, so as for the blog: The last 2 entries were signed 'B'. He talks about R and S calling him 'the king'. I think this is Ross (from the mail from shtgnsinnr8308) and Seth (from the mail from wildeydjokr8308).
So he's signing with 'B', and there's a 'B' on that guitar pic. I thought the idea that it was just a clue to blogspot was correct, but now I don't think so. I think that's a message to this 'B'. We need to examine that pic a bit more carefully.

I don't know if that other blog is related or not... yet. I hope it is for that poor teenage girl's sake. Anyway, I gather Black Mariah is still alive from the hidden message, and somehow "B" managed to take over her blog and still not notice. Should we point it out to her?
