If you look at his twitter site, you will see that a few minuites after I had posted here saying that he could be the true Ratliff, about a thousand people started tweeting him asking if he was for real. He has so far denied all allegations of being Ratliff and going so far as to say "No, I AM NOT EVAN. Jesus!"

I think it is safe to say that he is a red herring. Oh well. Back to the drawing board.

if you're interested in the hunt for Evan Ratliff the best way to connect
to the community right now is via twitter. search for #vanish and
you can hook up with others. there is a ton of crazy spec on the
twitter board.. best to check out wired's vanish page
http://www.wired.com/vanish/ and Nicholas Thompson's
twitter page @nxthompson. Nicholas has the best info cuz
the rules state that Evan can't lie to him. Nicholas doesn't
know Evan's location and shares clues.

We got an ARG-like puzzle tonight, that may be relevant to this contest. Can we solve it?

Riot Sage At Rome T, van to S. F. port. She beat them there. I may go into tame chat. Ending nigh.

The current theory is that words must stay together. So far we have:

Go/tame/s/sage/f/romE/van ("Got a message from Evan")

See anything else?
