porter gave vincent to walt? That sounds like very relevant info. Did I miss that somewhere before. Also if Mandrake is in game then thats a direct connection to the show which seems odd.

It's in the show. Walt says Vincent is Brian's dog.

Hmm It looks like "Rachel" has a myspace account as well.

http://www.myspace.com/persephoneneverdies

But im going to say that this might be a fake, but I could be wrong.


In her pics page she has this binary

0010100101010100010010001001010010010010100010010010100011000100101010

But I coudnt get it to translate.

I've changed my mind about the veracity of this story. Look at the post on "Mandrake Wig's" blog.

It doesn't look like anything that an in-game character would have said so far. This leads me to doubt that Mandrake Wig is actually a part of the game... yet I have seen some fairly trustworthy people quote DSLerator referring to them to this blog. What's going on?

I'm sorry for the foul language and the length, but I have to quote this for truth in case he removes it.

Responsibility taken

It wasn't my fault but it was my problem. When you're paying attention but not watching what you're doing things tend to happen. I was going places, seeing people, and being seen all at the same time. Hanging with friends and just hanging out. I was sober as a judge. But I wasn't a good judge of the condition my condition was in. I was supposed to be taking a trip, flying literally but when you're out and about late the night before and your flight leaves early the next morning you tend to either stay up and make it or sleep in and get a good nights. I did the later.

The alarm clock didn't go off. But I woke up like it was 1985 to the sound of wham and I was wide awake. Good morning and I gotta get to the airport. Down Under to Angel City and I'm a few minutes if I'm a mile from the departure gate. The plane is leaving and I am plain out of luck here. Say good bye to my ticket outta here and hello to another day exactly where I started. I'm running and I'm running and I'm running and I'm not running and I'm standing in a line and I'm taking off my shoes as I watch a pretty bird fly away and I realize I'm not going anywhere anytime soon.

I go back to the hotel and I fall to sleep quickly. In haste, unchaste, a complete waste of the final frontier. When I wake up I have the distinct feeling I'm not dead or missing and presumed dead or dead and presumed dead, missing, or otherwise. I turn on the TV cuz I was expecting something but I didn't know what to expect except that I should expect something and I get it. The plane didn't make it. It didn't get there. It never got there. It ain't anywhere but I'm right here. People will be sad. People will be worried. People will be relieved. I'm all three and I'm on a flight back to the Golden State and I am far from being a warrior.

Did I escape death or miss out on the adventure of a lifetime? Or both? All I know is, my parents are ecstatic, my friends are manic and my pissed-off ex that hates my guts cuz I couldn't commit is erratic. On the way home sweet home from the airport I fall asleep in the cab dreaming blissfully of what the future holds, the women unmet, the food untried or vice versa and all that I am about to accomplish when guess what my driver, my chauffer ok my cabbie falls asleep and it's all Mr. Toad's wild ride and I ain't got a seatbelt.

See, what I didn't know was that the guy had a long night. A really long night. Some might call it a "paperclip" and instead of sleeping it off and packing it in he stayed up all night just to make his shift. Just to make his flight. Just to get to work on time. Just to pick me up at the airport and park the car running, under and eighteen wheeler. Facial reconstructive surgery - that's what they call it when your face gets fucked. And not the way you want it to get fucked the other way. I'm still me but I'm not. I'm still ok but I'm got a chip and it's firmly placed on my ability to tip another cabbie for the rest of my life.


So how do I look? I'm still me and it's my problem.

Any site coming from IM I don't really trust. Over time it should be come clear if it's important.

The main issue of delivering (important) game content over IM is that very few people actually see it. You're relying on it being relayed person to person (via forum or other). Considering this game is for the casual player, it doesn't make alot of sense to use this technique. On top of that there is no way to verify the authenticity of the conversation, allowing anyone to spam their site via fake conversation.

I spoke to DSLerator again and asked him about Mandrakes profile. I said something about it seemed wrong and asked if its still relevant. He said "I wouldnt write it off yet"

Should this thread be in the other forum?

EDIT: Scratch that. Since DSLerator actually gave Jenna the link when she mentioned it, it sounds like something set up by them. So something might end up being there. Who knows, maybe it will host a future DJ Dan podcast.

Also, he told Jenna to check out his "pics." Well underneath his picture is a link to "View My: Pics | Videos." Can someone check this out and post their findings? Does he have any videos, and can you actually post the pics here? I ask because it says you have to log into Yahoo, and I really don't care to do that. I'm hoping this ARG doesn't force me to do something I'd rather avoid, and that includes joining Yahoo. I'm not a member of Yahoo, and don't plan to become one.

Sure can buddy, there are no videos though:

Do note that these are not the original filenames. Myspace gives their own filename randomly.

Thanks.

The 2nd picture we already know was the compilation of several factial features overlapped, but it looks like the 1st picture is as well. I'm thinking perhaps the entire face was placed over the head, and then a different nose and seperate glasses were added.

Certainly our beloved Verizon employees created both pictures, but what are they trying to tell us with these photos. Maybe we can mix and match features from both pictures to see if we could start putting a real face together. And possibly features from Hanso execs should be included. For instance, are any of Mittelwerk's factial features in any of these pics?

I think that the MySpace page is probably a fake. Are AIM screen names case sensitive? I have noticed that people have been communicating with our contact as both "DSLerator", as according to the spelling on the ROT board, and "dslerator." So, we could have ourselves a clever trickster. Oh, and BTW
OpenersHep is taken screen name as well.
Happy Hunting.

There must be something we're missing though because DSLerator keeps telling us to look at the pics. Is he warning us of an update or is he telling us we're not finding something specific?

Namaste.

aim screen names are not case sensitive. Oh and yes OpenersHep and wtkFleet35 are both taken on AIM. Does anyone know if you can check registraion dates of AIM names?

heres a reply I got from him, and the letter I originally sent:

Date: Jun 22, 2006 8:36 PM
Dear Manny,

I just received an anonymous letter claiming that you are not truly who you say you are and that I should be careful not to believe your lies. The person in question refused to identify themselves. Seeing as how we recently became friends and I still don't know much about you I don't know what to think of this situation. Why would somebody make such wild accusations about you?

Jun 23, 2006 6:55 AM
Hank, you gotta believe what you want. I'll kill a few people on my way out.
