 		[Trailhead] Kevin Balderock
Just got followed on Twitter by @kevinbalderock. Only post leads to a blog, http://kevinbalderock.tumblr.com/post/302185209/internets-about-to-go-off. All the usual suspects are being followed (95 uFers). Content of 1st blog post:

Quote:
Internet's about to go off.

Hello. For God's sake, I hope someone sees this. I don't know where to begin, so I'll start with today. God, today was terrible. Unsurprisingly. What would you expect when you live in a hellhole like this?

I won't go into much detail, at least, not all in one post. Do that and they might get suspicious. Nor will I say where I am. Don't try and contact me with… dangerous information. You might get me marked.

Marked. That's another one of my special words I'll be using from now on. If I use certain words, it'll tip off the sniffs. Sniffs. There's another one. You know what it means. I'm not going to risk explaining it further.

Also, Kevin Balderock? That's not my name. Not really. But you knew that, didn't you?

Time's about up. Sorry I didn't go into as much as I'd hoped. Bye.

Have at it...

If Internet is going off, then he won't be able to use Twitter and his blog to sneak out info Wink

 		Got followed, and will follow. Let's see where this goes.

Edit: not much to go by right now.. but just in case.. the Tumblr account theme seems to be named "Munich"

Kind of feel that way.. he said we lived in "liquids, solids, and gases".

He put "our connections" and "spiders" together. I suspect he is referring to web spiders (aka web crawlers)...

 		All right, just for fun.. I'll highlight the words that stand out so far to me:

It's me again. Of course. You're probably wondering why I started this site. I mean, it's not like it will change anything. It's not like you can fix this. But, in a way, it feels kind of… good. To let it all out. To tell my story.

I guess some of you live in liquids, solids, and gases. What's it like there this time of year? It's cold and foggy over here. Overcast. Has been for a long time.

You won't find this place on any map. At least, I don't think so. Our connections are limited here, so I don't know what's imaginary and what isn't. I expect the spiders change some things for us, but I don't know what.

I bet you have all-day ranges over there. We don't. We can only go on at certain times. That's why I won't be updating all the time. Only when I can get a window.

Speaking of windows, mine's about to close. Have to send this now, or it'll never make it. Worse, it might end up in customs. Can't have that.

See you later.


As usual, when we get new trails, I have the same 2 questions:
1~ what's the story? And that's ok, we'll get the whole story as we go... can't expect to know it all already
2~ What are we to do? I don't see any puzzle yet... 'Kevin' wants to tell his side of the story, from another place... seems we have some actions emerging from the fog, and spiders, and sniffs... but I don't see yet a task for us to tackle.

And that's all for now. Of course, as soon as I'll step out the door for the day, you guys will get a ton of tips and links and things to do.. Try and keep the thread organized or start a wiki so I can catch up later Smile

~O
PS: I also call dibs on
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
this originating from Europe - call it a hunch.. or the times when the posts are posted - I'm probably wrong Smile

I find it amusing how I chance upon a newly discovered Twitter for a game and, as soon as I see who they're following, realize that I'm already following EVERYONE they are.

What are the odds of that? Razz

 		I've sent a couple of messages and got some in reply:

BrigitJ: where are you? why are you so desperate to get your message out?
Kevinbalderock: If I don't, who will?
BrigitJ: What are you risking by sending your message? You mentioned the 'sniffers'?
Kevinbalderock: My life.
Kevinbalderock: Sporadically.

More as I get a response.

His latest blog post mentions getting a laptop, which seems to err away from the AI theory.

EDIT: Got another reply; apparently 'No, I sent that to you by mistake. Sorry.', referring to the last tweet.

I noticed that the video says "Can you hear me" in the description Maybe if we figure out what is being said in the video, we'll have ourselves a password? (It DID sound like I heard something, but I'd need to enhance the audio, which I cannot do right now.)
