 		I don't run any websites but I'm use this username in various places so who knows, maybe he is reading this page, it's not unheard of. Either way, I really don't know what I know that anyone else doesn't apart from it seems I've had more contact with him since I had the initial contact. Aside from that I think we should still stay open minded about 'The One Who Hunts' in case it's another clue.

I'm trying to get more information from him as some of his emails can be quite sparse so I'm asking about the reference and where we go from here.

 		In response to my last email,

"Hello there good sir. I have happened upon your most interesting site, and I must say that it surely has grabbed my attention! I was talking to some friends, and for some reason, after reading over the various entries on your site, the phrase "STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM" is haunting our thoughts. Strange, isn't it? I thought you would find this of interest. I hope to see more added to your site soon."

he replied with:

"Thank you, gentlesir! I think you are a most noteworthy acquaintance.

Before the moon is two times esconced shall my collection grow"

Ensconced? As in a new moon? This better not have anything to do with Twilight, or I'm gonna be pissed.

 		Re: Hatshoe
I emailed Hatshoe

I only found out about Hatshoe over the past few days, getting really into it yesterday.
I decided to email him and received te following messages.

Quote:

Me: Hello hatshoe.
What can you tell me about your website?

Him: What would you like to know, kind friend?

Me: I'd like to know the reason you created the website, what your clues are for and if there any particular entries on you site that I should be particularly aware of.


Him: Seek the one who hunts, he has the most knowledge. Perhaps even the most wisdom.

Me: Katanow. (trying to drop hints that I know what hes saying.)
Where would one find The One Who Hunts?

Him: You must keep this secret and allow time to pass, or all will be lost. You will find him.

Me: Good morning.
You are wise, Hatshoe. At least... You appear to be.
I saw the weird movie from your site. I thought it was pretty good, if not slightly strange.
Are there any other people I should look out for, aside from The One Who Hunts?


Waiting on further reply now.

I hope this helps in the hunt.


So, he got back to me with the following;

Quote:
Be warned! Appearances can be delicious.
In very little time, I am sure that there will be enough antibodies anyway.


This guy is awesome.

Two months; strictly speaking, before December 16th.

 		I've been lurking on this one and was wondering, what have we actually found? It doesn't seem like there is even a vague idea of what to do. I hope we haven't stumbled upon the ravings of schizophrenic madman Smile .

I was also wondering, what is the javascript at the bottom of each source? I mean, all his page is is a picture and a link. Why would he need javascript? I don't know javascript so I could be totally wrong.

One more thing is that some of the links back to the main page are written on the paper instead of the superimosed "HATSHOE" that are on most of the pages. Could this have something to do with the smokesceen he mentioned earlier?

That javascript is for Google Analytics stats tracking. Has nothing to do with the game.

 		New pages are up by the titles of 'Baking Soda', 'Voice', 'Love' and 'Twitter'. The voice page has an alt text of:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
They will call to you too.


The love page is a little disturbing, I shall ask him about it when I have recieved a reply from my last message. I checked them all by adjusting brightness and contrast but got zip from doig that though. Also checked the script and got nothing. I'm still confused as hell.

I'm hoping he'll reply soon and answer some of the questions we have provided him with. But didn't he say he'd only be putting up content after two moons have ensconced? Maybe he meant two days as opposed to two new moons though, almost 2 months seems a little long. The moon kinda ensconces during the day right? But then it hasn't been 2 days. Mabe that's when the important stuff goes up.

So I've been thinking, his saying the first few are a smokescreen, I really think he means the first few of the new pages as we have gotten little out of them insofar. Maybe we need to wait for new pages with more clues.

Anyone think they recognise the voice he was talking about? It's a little too vague I think. Maybe it's unimportant.

I'll keep checking my emails and looking back in for clues but might not be able to rejoin this for another 24 hours or so as my nephew is being christened early in the morning and I can't be late so I need to sleep, lol. But good luck!

EDIT: Had that reply and it's as cryptic as usual;

Quote:
I am told not to dwell. It must be left if it cannot be found.


So, no more clues there then.

 		After he replied about the Antibodies I sent an email back saying;

Quote:
Taste is a mattter of preference, Hatshoe.
I've noticed alot of references to a certain Elder Scrolls in your site. Wink
Antibodies to what, my friend?


To which he replied;

Quote:
We are still seeking.
There are some that need to be brought together.
None of them know who the others are.


Hope this helps.

 		Okay, sorry to have not replied in a while. Been ping-ping-in' back and forth with Hatshoe. Our emails unfold like this...->

ME
Quote:
Hello there kind friend!

I would like to open by saying I really like your site! Lots of insight to be gained by a journal like that, as I am guessing it is. It seems like a conglomerate of snapshots in someone's daily life. Are you writing a story about someone else, or are these pieces of wisdom related to your own life?

I was a little concerned when I read the recipe you posted, as only a portion of it was available. Was that accidental and should I wait for the rest, or perhaps you meant to only reveal part of it. What does it make, anyway? ((I do apologize, my curiosity can be quite thirsty at times))

That aside, I also looked at the source code, as I enjoy computers and the like, and I noticed a few notes you left for people to read. Having mulled things over a bit, I am very curious and have a number of questions. I wonder: would you could spend some time entertaining my curiosity?

Sincere Regards,
Yaslana


His Response
Quote:
Thank you, you are very kind.
I can answer questions, but I am often restricted by which manner I must respond.


ME
Quote:
Thank you for the compliment.
I guess I'll try to be as vague and specific as I can possibly be to help you answer as you will: You mentioned Offenders in your recipe page, in the source code. I was wondering what sort of offenders you were referencing. Perhaps an insulter, or a criminal? What was done? ((I think I shall start slow and observantly))


Response
Quote:

image solve:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
'sleepwalk' is hidden in the image, so I went to the sleepwalk page. Unfortunately, I don't know much about code (so I couldn't address the hint in the source code) but I sent him another question, referenced below.


My Responding question, spoilered so you can come up with your own conclusions before seeing what I arrived at.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
My good friend, Mayhaps you mean Miss Sandra Jennings's Friend's Husband? For what reason are we looking for this 'offender'?


I haven't got a response just yet ((I sent it a few minutes ago)) but I wanted to let everyone know about the hint I just received. maybe more people can make sense of it than I was able to.

Enjoy.

 		So I think in twitter he is referencing hipster runoff. The guy's name from hipster runoff is Carl. Other than this connection I couldn't make anything out of it.

 		The Twitter page (twitter.com/WatcherofCarl) says Carl's name is Carl Rivers. Creepy enough...

 		Good work on finding the Twitter page, a little creepy but a good find. I'm still trying to pump info out of him, still getting sparse replies though. I'll post anything noteworthy.
