Where, if you don't mind my asking, is the name "Theresa Duncan" on either "kidkenoma" or "untermuyer pages?
I may not be understanding you, but I don't think the name appears on either. It does appear on the sidebar of the Last Statue story, though the name is not IN the story. In fact lots of things in the sidebar are not in the story.
I see now the Pynchonopolis blog has changed it's template and a brief additional post:

Sorry, more unstable forum issues.
I would think that if there is no arg or puzzle component and they put that stuff up there, then people would pretty quickly assume it is just someone's practical joke or something.
So did anyone ever pursue the "clues"? Did anyone figure out how all that matches up with the chapter?
And thanks for posting, Tikkun, as that got us another blog post, and a spiffy new look!

Not feeling good about this... So a comment on the kidkenoma blog leads to the "liminal kid" blog and the brief posts and comments there read more like someone who is mentally ill or just total inside jokes.

This was in the about page:

I think madbirdgirl may be right, at least about the "not an arg" part. I don't know where the world changing would come from. Maybe the mental illness perspective is correct (for the writer of Last Statue, bmg)

OK, at this point I have to say I am NOT part of this but obviously this topic "woke up" whoever is behind all of it. The untermuyer blog has gotten a facelift as well and some new material.

That was not a very nice thing to say.

ummm....so what do I do now? I started this thread on what I thought was an arg and a "character" from the arg is now posting on this thread.
That violates the terms of the board, unless it is not actually an arg. but if it is not an arg then we shouldn't even be discussing this here.
And no offense, liminal, it's just that to an outsider, there are a bunch of disjointed sentences and it doesn't make any sense and...
um...
....help?

You don't understand what I'm saying, so you insult me by saying I'm mentally ill? Then you insult me by calling me a "character" from an ARG?
Just because I posted something on a blog, that makes me a "character"? I think you are jumping to too many conclusions. Maybe you are the "character", and I'm a player - but you don't hear me making accusations like that.

well, I'm sorry for that. And if it is not an arg then this thread should be moved or deleted.
No offense meant.

Steggy: you need to use the Google more. All those "inside jokes" are actually quotes from Firesign Theatre (available on iTunes!)....
Where the "world-changing" comes from: TLS might not change the "world", but it might just change your frame of reference.
If you're looking for something fun to "play", I don't think it will suit your needs.

All righty all,
1. SteganosaurusRex made an honest mistake. Found something that believed to be an ARG and posted it here (of course a minor faux pas is that he didn't post first to the thread that we have examining potential rabbit holes before they can be declared as such by anyways).
2. birdmadgil123 and a few others pointed out that this might not really be an ARG.
3. The owner of the website, The Liminal Kid, came on here and posted clarifying that those site are truly not an ARG but his personal musings. SteganosaurusRex apologized for his wording on a post.
There you have it. So there's nothing there and we're good to go. Eventually this thread like many others will be archived. It was a misunderstanding and was resolved. Cheerio.

Don't have a clue, actually. That's why I'm glad that someone's called attention to them. The "dead blog" went belly up before any in-depth work was done. And there's a lot more of them now. It's good to have a bunch of brains working on the same problem.

Thank you, ndemeter. I would just add that by resuming postings and expanding their blogs after several months of hiatus at just the moment the sites were mentioned as potential trailheads only added to the confusion.
I did not know the correct process for introducing potential trailheads so I apologize for bringing this off topic material to this board. Please accept my apologies, Liminal and Kenoma, and whoever. You may now return to randomly quoting Firesign Theatre routines unmolested.
Hey, I needed something to do till Rachel's Walk launched, what can I say?

bmg we crossposted. If this is not an arg then no one here will be looking into the decan clues, or whatever they are. Do let us know if you find anything of interest. But to avoid upsetting the authors, maybe do it by pm?

If I can't see it-there is no pattern
If I don't understand it-it must be mental illness
If it ain't a game-it has no value
Gotcha.
