Snap. Does this mean he's back? More importantly - does this mean that we have to hunt down a new twitter username and/or website? I'm both excited and anxious at this prospect.

On the other hand, it's also quite possible that he just means that character. Yeah, probably that. In any case, sign me up to help in any way I can.

I don't know, guys.

I spent the last few days doing some intermittent hardcore internet supersleuthing and I can't find anything that looks even remotely like HS's new stomping grounds.

I've sent him a few emails...in the last one I just flat out asked if it was over.

I've had so much fun with all of this that I really want to believe that he's testing our patience and something huge is on the way, but man...it's been over two months since the "yourethebest" solve. And I never even heard from him about that. I don't think anyone did.

It's entirely possible that some total bogusry went down in his life and he just abandoned the whole thing. That seems to be the fate of many an ARG.

Hopefully I'm just being dramatic and impatient.

Here's hoping.

reveille

Hi all! No news here; just a friendly reminder. PLEASE PARTICIPATE IN THIS FORUM IF YOU ARE CONTACTED BY HS. THE PUZZLES(?) ARE LONG AND SLOW IN PROCESS AND ANY CONTRIBUTIONS MIGHT HELP OTHERS SEE A BIGGER PIECE OF THE WHOLE(?) I've been poking around regularly looking for signs of life and was quite surprised by the tweet. (For some reason I thought he was on hiatus til '12).

Anyways. Anybody here poke him or send him a note or sound a bugle in his general direction to wake him up?

No, those are the only ones.

Ugh. I wish I had waited for him to actually make a move before I let myself get sucked back into this. Oh well.
After looking around, I'm pretty convinced we missed something in "flight".
It's so annoyingly deliberately esoteric.
It's just not clicking with me though.
Any ideas anyone?

I definitely feel you on the lack of anything new to sink my teeth into.

I initially racked my brain for movies/games/songs/anything involving flying and anything mentioned on the page but as you might have guessed nothing worked. I even asked several people to check out a few pages including this one to no avail.

I'm basically waiting for something more substantial than a two word tweet with no apparent context to consider this game "back on". Considering "Oh fine." is something you say when you're giving up/relenting I'm kinda less optimistic than I was before that tweet. Prove me wrong Hatshoe!

frozen out

what the heck am i doing here? i think he's on sabbatical til '12. but i've never been right before so why think i might be now. hatshoe is a boon for epistemological modesty if nothing else.

in a previous life i was brainstorming flight in the cloud of movies, "back to the future" "wizard of oz" but at apd's prompt today i came across
http://lakeice.squarespace.com/cobblestone-ice/
maybe the skating is on cobblestone ice.

antarctica? at the mountains of madness? shoggoths? elder things?

did anybody consider that when hs moved, it might have been just to another game? "the abandoned windmill" kicked off around the time that hs went dark. i've mildly lurked it but never really participated. it's got words and pictures and the creator of it has a droll sense of macabre humor but i wouldn't certify them being created by the same guy.

just another wild no confidence guess. take a peek and reply if you think there's any possible connexion.

hope all's going well for airportdisco and goingup and perdi el juego and any other players still lurking (playing?) this.

Knucklehead, I hadn't even thought he meant he moved to a new game. That would be weird but understandable at this point.

I read through the first month or so of the journal entries on the abandoned windmill site and I get the similarities. The "neighbor", the shadowy thing from his childhood, and the art is similar in someways but HS never did anything as intensive as the paintings on that site. I'm definitely gonna have to lurk this one.
