got the pom pom, bowlarama letter, and missing person poster. will post pics if needed.

I dont know if this is normal or not for pom poms but on the wooden handle part, theyre was the number 16 on both poms. Other than that, i cant think of anything to do with them.

Nice Pancito! I can't believe I didn't try Dave.

Do we think we should be acting on the emails?

Yeah, David Bowman has been bugging me all day. Finally clicked. So far I can't think of anything to do.

Here's the last one we have. Most relevant part in the quote box.

We need to talk about the current situation. If he gets out things might spiral out of control in the public eye.

We need a containment plan in place and ready to execute within the next 72 hours.

I got a package, too!

Hey guys! I'm new here, but I wanted to come by and let you all know that I also got a package today from DecepTech (I got it, I assume, because I wrote an article on ARGs for mentalfloss.com back in January). It's the same one that others have received - the pom-pons, the flyer, the postcard - but I also came upon some revelations that might be helpful.

Go to Jennifer's Facebook page. View her friends and look for Gibson Case. His profile picture is Fisher Stevens, the main bad guy from Hackers. And his name sounds like it's been created from author William Gibson who wrote the cyberpunk novel "Neuromancer"...whose main character is named Case. I added him as a friend, but haven't gotten anything back yet. I'll let you know if anything comes up.

Also, nothing on the card is correct - the addresses are for a Disney resort (which is where the Bowl-O-Rama's phone number goes to for reservations) and the Orange County Convention Center. And the Bowl-O-Rama doesn't even exist. Just trying to help keep things straight for everyone.

Re: I got a package, too!

Ooh, nice connection with Gibson/Fisher!

And this PM has a bit of a thing with generic public places; last time, Orlando city hall I believe? Wink

And also, has anyone looked at their postcards with a blacklight? Rolling Eyes

(*duck and run*)

I fired an email off to CorpSec asking about access to the internal network. I mentioned VPNs aren't an option. Worth a try. Razz

"Gibson Case", Jennifer's friend on Facebook, is definitely a part of this. He confirmed my friend request tonight. His contact information is on the site...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
His website address is: http://www.brainclouds.net/Gibson/
and his email address is: hacktheplantSPLATgmail.com (Yes, it is spelled wrong - he talks about this on his website)


So, one odd thing - he has become friends with Jennifer three times (11/13, 12/13, and 3/5) Just a glitch in the game or do you think it means something?

I tried Shotaru Kaneda, hence why I couldn't get in... I feel silly. And/or clumsy. Or the internet equivalent of either of those terms.

So... Um. Where do we go? All I know is that Shotaro has a giant freakin' motorcycle... And there's a Tokyo Exposition coming up.

I friended Case, too, and got accepted in about two minutes. [img]bah![/img]

So we have our Hacker and our Cheerleader, Evil Bitch from Heck (I assume), Someone/thing who may get out, implementation bots, AI (I'm still sayin' Josh's evil twin till I know better), TRON scanner, giant motorcycle, a raptor, and who knows what all else. I have but one question. Where's the Twinkies?

Twinkies are accounted for... http://www.facebook.com/friends/?id=1600303717 . Found Case's Facebook account based on his mention of it on his blog. Yet to friend request.

Well, sure. That's me. But... but... I meant... Oh.

All images are between 3 & 7 kB, so unfortunately no dice.

Sent off a friend request as well...
