new thread, I reckon

Should a moderator split out all of these replies to make a new thread?

(edit) nevermind, a thread has been started here http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=27610

 		On a tip from SirQuady, I started following JS017 on twitter. His tweets seem ARGish. I notice RF Martin is also following him..

Any thoughts?

I started following @JS017 after noticing @natasuf replying to him/her and seeing the ARGy tweets. @JS017 is now following @natasuf and I which allows us to send direct messages so I sent one this morning.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

My DM to JS-017: Are you still being watched? Is there another way to communicate that is safer? I want to help.


@JS017 lists their location as Rw7 Rk3 Ps17-20
After putting Google through its paces I didn't come up with anything conclusive.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I did find it funny that RW7 and RK3 correspond to the following two Oklahoma Motor Vehicle Violation Codes:

RW7 Failure to Yield Right of Way in Intersection to Vehicle Turning
RK3 Failure To Reduce Speed When Lawfully Required

So maybe JS017 is in a cold dark jail cell in Oklahoma because of some traffic violations and is being watched by the local sheriff. It could happen!

JS017: OK, here goes.
Sat, Mar 28, 2009 10:24 PM

JS017: Yeah, right. As if!
Sat, Mar 28, 2009 10:23 PM

JS017: We've been in here for an eternity. He's not coming. He's probably forgotten. We have to find another way.
Sat, Mar 28, 2009 10:22 PM

JS017: HIM?!? You're joking, right?
Sat, Mar 28, 2009 10:21 PM

JS017: And who's going to do that?
Sat, Mar 28, 2009 10:21 PM

JS017: Well when?
Sat, Mar 28, 2009 10:20 PM

JS017: I feel like an idiot here. I can't tell them that?
Sat, Mar 28, 2009 10:20 PM

JS017: @RFMartin I'm here with... a family member. I don't think I can explain more right now. They're watching.
Sat, Mar 28, 2009 10:20 PM

JS017: Just hold them off for a few minutes. Maybe they know... something.
Sat, Mar 28, 2009 10:16 PM

JS017: What, now? I just made contact!
Sat, Mar 28, 2009 10:15 PM

JS017: @natasuf I don't know what that means.
Sat, Mar 28, 2009 10:12 PM

JS017: @natasuf I said that already. Or did I? MInd's kinda fuzzy.
Sat, Mar 28, 2009 10:12 PM

JS017: @natasuf Hello?
Sat, Mar 28, 2009 10:09 PM

JS017: Oh. OK then. I'll be careful.
Sat, Mar 28, 2009 10:09 PM

JS017: Why not?
Sat, Mar 28, 2009 10:09 PM

JS017: They can hear me! Maybe they'll come for us?
Sat, Mar 28, 2009 10:09 PM

JS017: @RFMartin I.. I'm not sure. It's dark. Who is this?
Sat, Mar 28, 2009 10:07 PM

JS017: I think I'm not getting through. Please tell me I'm doing this right. We'll try later.
Sat, Mar 28, 2009 8:51 PM

JS017: I don't think they hear me. Why can't they hear me? Am I doing this right?

Active again on Twitter
JS017 is now relaying messages from "a friend of the family" in code.

Gurer vf bar bhg gurer jub xabjf hf
Naq ur yrnqf gur jnl sbe znal.
Svaq uvz, fb ur znl svaq hf

mentions "like the salad" and "it's all greek to me" so I'm guessing "greek" has something to do with this


I also received a response from my DM:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

No, there is no other way out yet. We're trying. In the meantime my... friend... is telling me what to say.
