Hmmm. Big Bad Wolf and LittlePiggy1? Also characters, I'm assuming. Test Character seems to be just that.. a test character, for the PMs to get the hang of things. unless he's a test subject for the drug?

any ideas on how to interact with these fine folks?


No clue. It seems as if you can hack into the @ProsperoCMD and @PGPSentry but i don't know how.

 		I think the PRIVATE part was talking about DMs- Direct Messages, the thing where you follow someone and they follow you, IDK. The whole thing with the lift and the lobby though... Hm.

Also, the twitters for the wolf and piggies have something about PIGGY v WOLF: YOU DECIDE WHO GETS EATEN, so...... Gamejack? Idk. It doesn't seem to fit in with what we know about the game so far, at all.

Looking at Piggy's tweets, it looks like he just tweeted them with stuff like "use lift" and then they respond with "you got the lift working, I'll meet you in the lobby!"

Seems kind of like the Rising Star Games... (this little mini-ARG from like a year ago, I really really doubt it's connected but the playing format is the same, with the people you control like game pieces and clues to solve and leading them through the facility or whatever...)

I really doubt Piggy or anyone else aside from the Sentry are part of MoTRD. Again, how do we talk to these fine folk and figure out how to 'use the lift' and all this?

Hmmmm.
Maybe we can just tweet them, like Piggy did? :/ IDK.

 		Huh. Maybe it's a start?

I'm so confused about what we're supposed to do right now. I guess it's a waiting game until something happens.

 		Got that too. (@meredithann4, btw) Tried the 'hack?' but nothing yet.

Any ideas on the message itself?

Maybe we have to 'hack' the Sentry, not the CMD?

Nmd, CMD just responded wiht the basic "Reporting to Sentry" thing.

Anyone up for figuring out all these acronyms? XD Since it seems we're a bit stuck.

HOW DID THEY GET IN?

I'm gonna go look at Piggy's and Cassi's posts to see what the fuck they did to get in... :/ 'm pretty sure they ain't characters.

 		I stared at those for the last few hours but i didn't see anything. Cassi didn't communicate at all with the CMD.

I tried to DM the CMD and the sentry but didn't get a reply until now.

 		She didn't?

Hm. How'd she get the "WELCOME" or w/e thing then?

EDIT:
OOG:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It looks like Cassi might be the screenwriter or other OOG creator, she mentions concept art on a tweet and says she's a screenwriter. -shrug-


ARGH. AND ANOTHER ACCOUNT APPEARS.

I'm so lost as to what's relevant to THIS game and what might be part of some other game and we're just confused, but https://twitter.com/retsbew1 Looks... the most related to the game so far.

Still not sure about testcharacters 2 and 3, and the piggies and the wolf.... :/

-pulls hair out and falls to the floor in confusion-

I'll be back tonight, right now I need a break to try to figure some of this shit out.

I looked at Cassi, who lists herself as an actress on Twitter. She might be a cast member for the ARG. I assumed that Piggy and Big Bad Wolf were accounts from a previous game, perhaps from the same PM. I'm going to consider those two OOG unless something indicates differently.

I also tried sending "hack" to Prospero.

 		Nope, if you scroll down to the first tweet and search for ProsperoC... You get nothing.

I think i found something in retsbews tweets:

 		I noticed something that the 1st pig posted back in 2011

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
it was a picture that lead to this. http://www.flickr.com/photos/zenfilms/ . I'm thinking either the piggies are OOG...or they have been brought into this one..and we will find out later?

 		ive been stabbing in the dark with this @ProsperoCMD as you may have seen from my crazy random twitter posts (goo_goo_4_gaga on twitter) and im getting nowhere fast.

ive tried hack , ive tried grant access ive said please! ive searched into pdp 11/40 and programming codes for this, all a complete shot in the dark! i dont know if i should just keep randomly posting and throwing phrases at it and see if one works!

anyone else having any luck ? xx

 		No luck here either. For giggles, I even crawled around in the source code of the web page to see if there was anything...and no luck on that either..
I think it's just a waiting period now..
