 		Gamejacking? (disregard, Δ's a derp)
I just got a weird text from a strange number. The text itself read
Quote:
////////////
///////////////
///////////


C
LO
SE
LY


I knew exactly what this was when I saw it. It's obviously from the first TTA video. It didn't come from a number I've ever seen before, though. It's a completely different area code than where I live (appears to be from South Carolina; I live in the Midwest). It could be one of my friends trying to troll me.

But none of my friends know about MH, as far as I can tell.

I just figured I'd post about it here, just to see if anyone else has experienced anything like this.

 		What was the number your text came from? Looking at it again, I noticed something...odd. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but it's just too weird for me to immediately pass it off like that.

If you convert the last 6 digits of the number the text came from to letters (2=ABC, 3=DEF, etc.), the text came from, I shit you not, [area code] 2-THE-ARK (284-3275). When I realised that, I shat a castle and pissed a moat. It's too weird to be coincidence, right?

 		I was excited about this because of the 2D barcode avatar (might have been the start of some new MH spin off series) but it translated to "TiMasky enjoys watching you poop" so that halted that...

 		Is this where I rant about the annoying gamejacks posting stupid stuff on TTA's channel?

And then when you call them out on it, they start private messaging you with obnoxious messages?

I'm definitely not that creative. As awesome as it would be to try my hand at an ARG, I'd probably just randomly forget about it/lose interest by the third day. It's why I don't RP on forums anymore, I just kinda...leave.

I'd love to post pictures if I could, but my phone is also my only camera.

 		I just looked at my phone...the original text is gone. But now there's a new one from about two hours ago that reads:

Quote:
Lakes
In Stillness will
Take
Every
Life
of the
Night


Again, obviously the second TTA video.

What's weird is...I checked my phone about half an hour/forty-five minutes ago, and the original message was still there, and this one wasn't. But now, the first is gone, and this one says I received it before I didn't have it. (Was that confusing enough? Cause it sure confused the hell out of me.)

Whoever's sending these can somehow delete my texts off my phone without me knowing. Or my phone's acting up. Which wouldn't surprise me. Based on the situation, I'm more inclined to lean toward the latter.

Still...clever gamejacker is clever.

 		Most phones can take screenshots so there's always that option if your phone is also your only camera. Regardless, why would you title thread gamejacking? You are not apart if the series so even if you are actually recieving these text messages, it's not "gamejacking". Furthermore, you are clearly a troll and you should stop wasting our time with things that have nothing to do with things actually considered IG. Please and thank you.

My phone can, but it's a pain in the ass to do so (involves hooking it up to the computer, updating a bunch of shit, etc.)

And I never said nor implied that I was "apart if the series". I couldn't think of any other way to title the thread, and my first thought upon receiving the message was "...is this a gamejack?" So, my apologies if I used the term wrong. In my defence, I am retarded.

However, I'm not a troll. I'm not trying to waste your time with anything. You can just ignore my thread if you want to. I just wanted to check and see if I was the only one to have this happen. Like the phone calls and, later, letters from the Jadusable story. Everyone thought they were trying to GJ until more people got them. I'm not saying this is what's happening, I'm just saying it confused me.

 		Got a text from WindmillDiaries, very cryptic message that I think is some secret code. The message read, "Watch the way I navigate ha-HA-ha-ha-HA!"
