 		If that's the case, then it would be very likely that Michael Smith is an OOG name, possibly the real name of one of the PMs. I'm not sure how to ask for clarification without pulling on the Curtain.

I think I might have already done that, lol. About 20 min. ago I tweeted txkkxt "So, your name's Michael, huh?". It'll be kind of an awkward moment if it is an OOG name, lol.

wow! Once again, I am away from my computer for one night and BAM.

Reading the posts on the Ubi-thingy thread, I guess this was a coincidence?

Quick question, has this got us any closer to saving Jessica? Has anyone had anything back yet? I haven't.... Sad

 		No response yet to my email. Any idea what 'txkkxt' might be derived from? If there's a meaning to the name, it would explain why it might appear in two places.

That's the price we pay for living in the UK. Stupid timezones Sad

This ARG got a bit weird for a bit there for a minute! So are we putting this down to OOG PM error?

 		DreamoftheRood said in the other thread that he received word from a reputable source that the Ubiquasoft game will be set on hold for a period of time. I think the consensus is that the PM took on a bit more than he/she could handle Smile

On a related note, we have a new blog post from jessica.

I know no Michael.



i replied

You're the same "TXK KXT" that stalked Robin Thatcher, right? Aren't you curious how i got this email address?




So, i sent a email to that address we accidentally got in the Ubiquasoft thread. I was surprised when i got a reply. I haven't received a reply to my reply yet, and i'll post it when i do...

 		Haha, now I get it. The PM knows that we have his email now from the other game, so he had to give it to us in the context of this game too. Fair enough.

Got a reply from Nicholas:

Still hasn't mentioned where he got the name from. I asked him again. Also, I'm gonna send an email to txkkxt as well.

 		Looks like Nicolas is our method of controlling the outcome of this game. Smile

Yeah, he certainly scrambled to fix the blunder. Now maybe this game can get going....

 		Haha, hopefully. I have to say, this game seems to be moving pretty slowly, especially only at one update/email a day. I mean, I realize that RL trumps ARG, but come on! Haha.
