Well, just in case...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
In the newest video is the BIT.LY/ANSWER FROM THE FILE^2. Going off the hints, I changed it to bit.ly/alcatraz2 and was taken to a google docs document of an incomplete timeline of Alcatraz prison.

https://docs.google.com/document/edit?id=1uP8j5jwcDAseKMB_5-6UaCkRgvUa0QQKFvcsv6P5V04


EDIT: The file is no longer up, apparently. Followed the link, and it said it was taken down.

This doesnt seem like much of a game.
They ask people to do things and then simply mock them for it then continue to say its just part of the process.
im sitting this one out.

So I got a chance to "interact" with the game a bit prelaunch! I got the same e-mail response you all did, but after talking in IRC about how it could be a dude or a lady who needed rescuing, I got this:

9/10/12 7:30 PM EST
HAVE YOU SEEN MY ORCHArD? IT LOOKS GOOOOOOOOD

And then after continuing, I got this:

ALRIGHT. Moron. This is the last email you will be receiving if you continue to be a moron. This is your first and final warning. TOMORROW AT SEVEN THIRTY PM EST I AM NOT A HER AND WE ARE NOT THE ORCHARD YOU ARE THINKING OF. http://youtu.be/fmJbmgkP4co

@mapmaker: are you being serous or sarcastic?

Dev and I were chatting some more last night, figured it would be worth it to play some more, don't really have much else to do, given... certain circumstances....that I don;t need to go into. Rolling Eyes

Update

So, here is an update of current happenings in the mibbit chat for those of you that missed it. Any new pertinent information will be included via edits later on.

http://mibpaste.com/0mEbPB <log of the poem 'A Clear Midnight' by Walt Whitman. The individual going by 'towk' is Joshua.
http://ge.tt/324PeYN/v/0?c?c < hosting site that contains a .zip file, in which is a password protected .txt file, one we have yet to crack.

Story: Justin has been snagged by a group of individuals, and is being kept in a cellar. He is unable to give us *any* info, having stated several times that they will shoot him.

Several times, Justin has stated for us to 'use our resources'...

We think password might have to do with TV show Breaking Bad. We could use some help over there. (I've never seen the show) Thanks.

I think most of us have decided to just let him die because his character is unlikable, the puzzles are too hard and the PM is very condescending and giving us nothing to work on, basically expecting us to read his mind. And, imo, most of the ones I'm working with are experienced with research and googlefu, which says something about the PM.
