Edit: The CB tag indicates it's a mobile phone upload (Matt established that earlier), so it could be a case of the "entity" (for lack of a better word) fiddling with his phone in some way. Maybe Matt lost his phone on the attic when he fled, did he mention his phone afterward in any way?


I don't recall any mention of his phone, but I was just pointing out that there were 9 asterisks instead of the usual 10, which makes it an incomplete phone number. :X


I don't want to flout your theory or anything, but I think there's a good chance that it's just a typo Dunno

o-o Isn't it automated though?

We actually figured that he might be adding that as a personal touch to make it seem like its from a phone. Hopefully we hear more from this game soon/

Yeah I'm nearly positive he's typing it in himself in reality.
In-Game it's supposed to be automated though I think.

There was at least one case where CB# prefixed the post, whereas it usually is at the end, too. So yes, I am quite certain that's just an oversight on the PM's part, and not A Clue. Of course it might be, so it DOES make sense to keep it in mind.

Anyway: I did send Matt an email basically just checking if he's still there, no reply so far.

If you insert enter after each segment of characters btw the sequence looks like a worm:

I'm inclined to think that this blog post is more for 'descent into paranoia' flavor than anything else.

Agreed. Fluff post. But one can never be too sure; we also haven't figured out the flashing bouquet image and the switch sequence yet. So...

I'm guessing that the switches flashing are just showing that they're there,
and the order of the limbs on the stick guy thingy might be the order in which to flip them.
Jury is still out on the bouquet though Dunno

The only problem I see so far with this ARG is that there are too many little puzzles that seem to either have no decipherable answer or no real connection to the other random puzzles. I wish Matt would:

1. find the abandoned warehouses
2. find the 3rd tape
or
3. go back up to the attic

Until he does that, it's kinda just like wasting our time :/

EDIT: Just saw his latest post; apparently now the house is screwing with his phone? Or more specifically, the evil attic lol? But it sounds like he's going back up there "sometime this week."

He removed two slender man related comments, didn't he? That does not bode well.

Yeah, I saw that nils. I was wondering why he removed them. Either he doesn't want people jumping to the correct conclusion too quickly or he's tired of people trying to connect his ARG with Slenderman, because they're unrelated. Either way, he definitely didn't want anybody to know that those comments were there.

definitely the second one. I think if this was a Slenderblog, he'd let us assume it was. By deleting the comments, he's telling us to come up with some other idea while at the same time preventing random newcomers from assuming it's Slender-related by the comments and dismissing it.

Maybe the bouquet is from a grave at the cemetery of Belchertown?

Early on someone posted a comment or an email or something asking about Slenderman, and Matt wrote back that he knew about SM but it was fake Internet crap and not to bug him about it. I didn't go back to see if that was one of the things that got deleted, but I think he's just trying to make it clear that it's not a Slenderman ARG. Could be wrong of course since it's still early, but so far nothing in the story smacks of Ol' Slendy.

Edit: Oh hey new blog post. He's going to explore the buildings, hopefully we get a new video soon Shifty Eyes

I do agree things are going a bit slowly. But it also appears to be a very basic one or two man ARG, for that reason I'm giving him some leeway with the time. After all the PMs are probably balancing this with work and real life.
