 		They will not see this coming
Just saw this strange ad on Google Ads. Because I was at a site that was about ARG`s, I became kinda interested. So, what is this?

 		Well I couldn't help myself...

Email from Jack Killenstein

Quote:
Before we can start any experiment, we have to start by awakening our test subject. He`ll be up in a few minutes. When he wakes up, he won`t remember anything from his past life.Who he is and why is he here with me, you`ll have to figure that out yourself. And maybe, if I`m in a really nice mood, I will give you clues who I am. I`ll be up here to monitor your communications with him. So, if you are planning anything like freeing the captive, I will kill him without a second thought.

Good luck

-Me

 		Well, our test subject is awake. I received a distraught email:

Quote:
What the f**k? Who are you? Why am I in this room? Why is the door locked? Who the f**k am I? I only have this piece of paper that tells me my name is Jack Killenstein. Is this some kind of sick joke? Let me out of here at once.
-Jack Killenstein


I replied asking a few questions I could think of.... let's see where this one goes...

I thought this guy was trapped in a room, he should have nothing but free time. Maybe he was coming up on "poke the prisoner with a stick" O'clock.

 		I'm also in!
Is it only me, or is the blog (not the blogged stuff, but everythin else) in a skandinavian language?

 		It's not just you. The blog is in Finnish. So I commented on the second post where the author says he got a note with the word POLO on it. I suggested what immediately came to my mind, Marco Polo.


When I looked at the author's profile I noticed a link to this blog: http://marcopolo-killenst56.blogspot.com/

The other two blogs listed also seem related.

 		I'll just be lurking around... See how this goes... Sounds very recently close to another one of the same thing that happened...

 		So under the same guy who made the first blog is also has 3 others:


http://theendofthelane-killenst56.blogspot.com/

Which seems like its written by whoever is holding Jack hostage. (and with the subject of the first post, Jack's last name stands out. Killenstien? lol)


http://marcopolo-killenst56.blogspot.com/

That blog currently has a picture of a lighted building. I have no idea where its from or what it is, but it looks Europeanish and the picture is called Bogie.


http://casablanca-killenst56.blogspot.com/

Doesn't seem to link to anything yet.





Its hard to tell if there is anything with the names or the people posting as its all in Finnish (yay for Google translate). I sent an email to the original address as well, and I guess we'll see what more Jack has to say on his blog.

 		The Marco blog is interesting. It has a picture of what looks like church and says "Catch me if you can". That church is actually the Hassan II Mosque.

 		Umumm... Are all blogspot blogs using those backgrounds? Because if they're not standard or a default or one basic option I may have an idea of what this game may be about....

 		Good find on the Mosque. I'm not sure if that was you who posted on the blog but hopefully we get some sort of answer for that (or the next place).

On the End of the Lane blog, it says his real name is Jack Killenstien, but that's how he introduced himself. I just found that odd. And who is "they" that are responsible for the deaths of 90 people. Not to mention that sentence is strangely capitalized (though anagraming reveals nothing with the letters).

I'm not a user of blogspot, so I can't say whether they are or aren't provided options. One can only assume that the author choose those images, even if they were default. They could have just gone with a solid colour.
