I bolded the letters that spell TWITTER. There are still Ts, Es, Is, and Rs left.

on Twitter

The anagram thing seems to be plausible I see several possibilities but just cant make them work:

I see the phrase "on Twitter" preceeded by lots of things. Possibilities:

silver gate

carters

Cant seem to use up all the letters though. Taking a break.

Tried pretty much everything, but... nothing seems to be plausible.

Hope he posts another clue soon. Confused

I'm considering following this bad boy...(assuming I ever get around to reading this entire thread and / or catching up via wiki or some other method)...so I hope everyone is prepared for the profanity that may eventually ensue...

I lol'd a bit while reading the guide.

And I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who wants to punch our beloved Stalker :B

Hi, been lurking this ARG for a week or two. Just thought I'd say that there's been some new tweets - appears the note-leaver's found him at his dad's...

rowan72 cracked the last puzzle using
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
binary


She tweeted me when I inquired what she meant by that:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
If you let the missing letters = 0 and the given letters = 1, then you get a string that decodes to dreaming (then add.html)


might be worth following her tweets

I received my painting today from Tom. Enclosed were a couple of extra items. One appears to be diary page, that we haven't seen yet, the other is the actual note that Tom found when he first moved into the windmill. Tom told me that he was going to have his step-mother mail the painting for him. I'm not sure if she's the one that put the extras in or if some mysterious force is at work. I've checked all the items with a black/UV light, and there doesn't appear to be anything hidden. I tried to upload the images here, but couldn't get it work, so here's a to my flickr page

[spec] I think the notes are from two different sources. The ones with the "ring codes" are from one source, the lined paper notes are from someone in Tom's family. [/spec]

What's rowan72's twitter account? I totally want to follow her now. She seems pretty smart.

Also, I, uh, may have done a bad thing. I emailed Pickman a link to dreaming.html.

I sent scans of the package extras to Tom. This morning he sent this reply.

Tom wrote:
Lovely. Just lovely. Ugh. I can't even deal with this right now. The diary and the note weren't in the package when I sealed it, or at least I didn't think so. I'm really sorry I didn't tell you your painting had vanished. It showed back up again the day before I sent it. I would have refunded you if it hadn't turned up.

I hope you don't mind but I need some time to think about what the hell is going on.

Thanks

Tom

I've been following the game passively but the phrase "online friends" made me QQ real hard. Something is so desperately heart wrenching about it. This game's writer really knows how to pull strings.

That being said, on with the show.
