 		I think this is, quite frankly, the most hilarious trailhead to date. Word of advice: If you're having a bad day, read the blog: http://sarah9503.blogspot.com

PhorbiddenApple: that you recieve messages, from the gods
PhorbiddenApple: is it true?
hkdl0521: Yes, in fact I am a god, I rule.
PhorbiddenApple: I heard, also, that the moment you speak, it dooms men to their death in flames
hkdl0521: Well that is one way of putting it
PhorbiddenApple: My friend, sarah, she set out to find you. The idiot. I tried to warn her
hkdl0521: Oh..so..you know Sarah?
PhorbiddenApple: Yes, I'm a friend of hers.
PhorbiddenApple: Her boyfriend disapeared recently
PhorbiddenApple: and she's been distraught
PhorbiddenApple: She wanted help from someone, anyone
PhorbiddenApple: I told her... I told her your name. I ddin't mean to, I thought she knew
hkdl0521: I see
PhorbiddenApple: But she didn't understand the consequences
PhorbiddenApple: I told her, find help, anyone but Hackdel!
PhorbiddenApple: A letter, a website, even a blog!
hkdl0521: Well, the blog she has done
PhorbiddenApple: but no, she was always the one to go for the easy solution
PhorbiddenApple: and now, I know that soon, I shall see her too in flames
PhorbiddenApple: Is it too late?
hkdl0521: I think I'm getting a headache
PhorbiddenApple: Have you informed your brethren gods?
hkdl0521: I don't know, she said she had a call
hkdl0521: I have
PhorbiddenApple: ah, then I must resign myself to her fate. And mine as well
PhorbiddenApple: adieu.

 		OK i don't play perplex city but the Dec 16 post on sarahs blog mentions steve giving her a shiny cube to be worn about the neck, transparent... just read the post if you play perplex city. Maybe it's a clue for that game?

EDIT yup plenty small references given about the little cube round her neck that doesnt do anythin, and Steve's paranoia. Aren't you PxCity types lookin for a Cube? Ruceda Cube?
Embarassed Pardon my moronicalness, I really haven't ever looked at Perplex city at all.

 		Well, this is quite clearly making jokes about numerous ARGs - the Cube reference (PxC), the website about Colony size too small (OC), the Seen Steve (James) Smile

I'm liking it Smile

 		This may be trout because I didn't bother to read the previous posts, but I analyzed the convo in depth. Taking the frequency of the words used divided by the line breaks, I turned my focus on two words that popped out when I folded the printout according to algorithmic projections: CULT and STEVE. Using a popular internet search site, I found this almost immediately, leading me to believe it is a clue or at the very least a red herring: http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Station/3839/index2.htm

 		All the news posts on that are from like 1999. Plus Steve was only mentioned as the person who said to get in touch with hdkl. I doubt it's relevant, tbh.
