 		Sweet work, Chris S.--find it very Cool when IG interaction pans out so well.

ETA: Maybe those sending postcards should mention to Erin Cole that she can leave msgs and read about the truer nature of the CoV at Lila's Msg Board?

 		Hello Everyone! I'm new to the game- just read as much of the thread as I could.

Forgive me if this has already been stated, but I was looking on Lila's page: http://www.fruitofthegarden.com/TheGardenWall/

I noticed that at the end of Xander's video, there are a few links to other videos that YouTube puts up as connections to the video you're watching. But given the nature of the game, I wouldn't be surprised if they were planted. Two of them were about "reversing videos", perhaps to hear a hidden message? I was wondering if anybody tried this, and if you did, what turned up from it?

Cheers! Smile

 		e-postcard
Postcard to Erin
Being too lazy to buy a postcard, buy a stamp, and mail said card, I simply sent the following to campfrancis.erin.coleSPLATgmail.com

++++
Consider this an e-postcard,

Tabitha wants you to know she's ok, and hopes she'll take her back soon.

I hope I'm not out of line saying this, but Tabitha is a good girl, and I think she needs an understanding parent more than she needs Camp Francis.

God bless,

Jenny G

I'll let you know if I get a response.

 		Strange noise maybe just cheap speakers?

qaqaq, I don't hear any strange sound... just listened again with headphones, rather loud... already looked at a spectrogram. couldn't find anything.


The noise is quiet, but I still hear it. On my work laptop the sound doesn't have to be turned up all that much. Somehow I think it's just an audio distortion that depends on the speaker. If you can't hear it on every computer then it's probably not a clue. For reference, though, it starts immediately when the camera angle changes and Grace says "If you have children..." and ends as he says "... If you have social obligations, if you have". thebruce, if you do ever hear it let me know so I know I'm not losing it. Laughing

The site must have changed because now it talks about CoV as an ARG. So it's OOG.

OOG, yes, but official or fan-made? That's what I meant...

also great work on the email, Chris!

 		Wow!
A lot happened last time since I checked! I missed all the fun!
I sent Anna an email, actually ironically describing one of the students I work with at my church who I pretended was actually my daughter.
This is the reply I received:

Quote:

It does sound like your daughter could benefit from Camp Francis. We will all pray for her. In the meantime, if you would like to reserve her place at camp, simply send us a check for $2000.00. Please send the check to our main address and label it to the attention of "Camp Francis Admissions."

Once we receive your deposit, the director of Camp Francis will contact you personally to discuss your daughter's situation and arrange transport to Camp Francis.

Yours in Faith,

I wish I could just send $2000 for fun to see what would happen!! Haha!

Hm. Only one number this time around. (Unless you count "half", I guess.)

Xander posted again yesterday to the Garden Wall:

Hey Dude, I don't think I know anything about an Erin Cole. I'm pretty sure one of us Seven is a kid, so it would make sense if this Tabitha was at Camp Francis. The kid had the most trouble contacting the rest of us -- and was the newest member of the Seven. Don't know if that helps any. Peace.

 		Can't remember if we ever back-solved this, but I finally solved second Daily Inspiration:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Whoever steals from another
has stolen from God. He deems
any man who desires foreign
gold as desiring foreign ideas.
Second to none, your Lord can
take heart in your will to leave
it behind at the gate, casting
off what you have left.

Exodus 32:24 is "Whoever has any gold jewelry take it off"

So, "second" refers to the second of six groups, which is jewelry.

It's funny, before we got the meta, I had been studying the first words because it looked like is was almost a sentence, but the word "second" kept throwing me off. Duh... seems so obvious now.

And yes, keeping with the theme of these things, it's always been one simple insight as opposed to a complicated cryptic clue, which we were thinking might be involved. We should remember this if we get hung up on any future DIs.

I'm still having trouble logging in, so sorry that I'm still a guest (as soon as I'm able, I will be logged in as panda13 - I think)! I'm quite certain that the blogspot is official, as it was a link found on Rob Bell's official facebook page. However, after looking at it, I think it's just a way to introduce non-ARG people (like me) to this ARG. I don't think it's going to have any clues on it.

On a side note - does anyone know why I would be having so much trouble registering? I have sent two emails to unfiction since Friday, with no response. If anyone can help, that would be appreciated!

 		First Efforts
Hello, All

I'm not only new on this Board, but this is also my first ARG (although I have done PBeM's and interactive fiction writing).

Anyway, I wanted to jump in and try to come up to speed - although most of you all are obviously way more skilled at this sort of thing.

Anyway, first, in today's DI there is an apparent typo?
Quote:
when you faith is split in twain

probably should be YOUR faith... although it seems that apparent mistakes have actually been significant clues before.

Also, I tried running some of the other names and addresses on the campers' list through white pages.com... but they all appeared to be fictitious.

Does anyone think it would be of any value to try obtaining the other two parts of the roster?

In response to the solution to the second DI.
Gareth Blayne is a friend of Savannah on facebook. Savannah is actually his only friend. His profile picture is of the gold LORD bracelet that is for sale on the CoV website.

I sent a friend request to him a couple days ago, but he has not yet accepted or denied even though he has logged in and posted on Savannah's wall since that time.
I sent him a message telling him to take his gold jewelry off. We'll see if I hear from him or if it goes anywhere.
