So there was some character interaction right there. I'm not so quick to give up on this one.


See, it's little things like that which are really bugging me. If the PMs were seriously abandoning the game, why respond to a post every now and then? It's possible that they're just biding their time or something, but this whole thing strikes me as being a little strange. More strange than your usual ARG I mean! I didn't mention it before, but I am going to keep watching my mail, and keep an eye on the sites/message boards for anything worth looking at...but...This one gets the offical Pauloulou Stamp of Confusion.

Confused Sad Crying or Very sad Evil or Very Mad

I think I'm going to make my own Emoticon for that. Heh.

I was also thinking of emailing one of the addresses, asking them for a moment to pull back the curtain and confirm if this is a game or if we are just getting too excited about all this. Worst case senario of corse!

There is no evidence that those pictures were taken from Merrick Biotech, and I assure you that "cloning" of complete humans is not happening, here at Merrick Biotech we only create Organs.

 		I had no idea if this was the place to post this information but I found this interesting.

I went to borders tonight for a red sox book signing and WXLO and the PIKE was there and they were handing out white bracelets. On one side it says the island and on the other it said http://www.youhavebeenchosen.com/

I did a search to see if anyone else had this bracelet and it looks like this must be the start.

Later guys,
RPG

 		A new registrant named "Jake the Mus" posted a message on the forums in octal. He made the topic "Octo(ber)", as a hint that it was in octal. It said:

I'm pretty sure it's just a player trying out some encryption on the boards. I sent a message back to him saying:

Man, it would be SO easy to ARGJack this one from the public.

 		www.merrickbiotech.com doesn't seem to be working. It gets to the site, shows clonewatch.org's little hack thing, but the ENTER button doesn't work? Update possibly? But, if you go to http://www.merrickbiotech.com/main.html (the HTML version of the popup page) nothing seems to have been changed. Yet.
Post when there's updates.

That is a page of XXX passwords to a porno site. To what porno site, I don't know.

 		A reply in Octo again:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Message? What message? That was just a random string of numbers!

Wink

Jake


Also someone posted the fact that the site is owned by Henry Merrick, as well as some silly OOG nonsense. MerrickBiotech.com still isn't up. End report! Wink

EDIT: By the way, the signature for this Jake guy is just something from some New Zeland soap show. Very Happy
