 		[TRAILHEAD] BahHumbugElf/Santa's Blog
Christmas-themed ARG!!
So there's this guy on Twitter with the screenname BahHumbugElf, who started following me. I read through his posts, and it turns out, he's a disgruntled elf who works at Santa's workshop and-get this-HATES CHRISTMAS. D:

In one of his posts, he mentions that Santa has just started blogging. I searched for the blog using a few key words from BHE's posts, and finally found it last night. Nothing out of the ordinary...except that nearly ALL his posts are tagged with either "ARG" or "TINAG." Very Happy

There doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary so far...except for BHE's profile picture, which practically screams ARG with its mystery and unexplained blurriness.

I'm so excited for this!!

 		Hey Very Happy

I've made a comment on one of his posts, but someone deleted it, as Santa points out..
maybe someone who does not want Santa to be happy? ^^

@Lairosiel: I saw that you commented (again), along with tresbien and ineffabelle. I also commented ^^ It seems like he's a little depressed...

The picture itself is apparently a "Real Gnome" captured by some kids on cameraphone in, Italy I do believe? It was all over the papers and such.

But someone recently used it, in another ARG storyline, albeit extremely briefly.

 		I got the Twitter invite, so it seems like whoever's running the show knows us really well, especially considering I don't advertise my Twitter. Or use it often, for that matter.

 		I just noticed the Elf is following me as well. As a side note in another (VERY NON ARG) Forum I post in, some one pointed out Santas blog as I way to get my mind of the serious topics we were discussing. That person had never even heard of an ARG before.

 		shylilembrace, I'd suggest getting a Twitter account as it's been used by IG characters in other games like I Am Blind and Hurts To Heal. Players also use it to communicate with one another. When thebruce went to get a drop for The Game Is A Cover Up last spring, several of us followed his progress. You can get messages by phone or just use it on your computer if you prefer.
