[RABBIT HOLE] Sammeeeees Strange packages have arrived... I had a few packages waiting for me upon my return home from PICNIC '06, which were delivered on Thursday, September 28th.
Return addresses were different on each package, which sadly I only noticed after I'd removed the contents:
Code:
A.J.
[800, 801, 802, 803] Wilshire Blvd.
SM, CA 90401
Contents were packed in wadded hot pink copy paper, which does not appear to have any writing or respond to heat changes.
Should I add a poll about whether or not to open them early?
ETA: Packages were mailed on September 25, 26, 27, and 28 from Santa Monica, California. I expect there'll be a fifth today or tomorrow then.
ETA2: Apologies for picture quality.. I'm stuck with my crappy camera phone until I can replace mine.
ETA3: Better topic. Updates later in thread.
Edit: Changed subject to reflect game name -Ehsan
EDIT - moved to ARGs w/Pot, changed tag. - SG

Since I formerly worked in a copyshop, my first thought was Astrobrights! Plasma Pink, I'd say, though it's hard to tell for sure from the photos. Mentioned this in case the choice of paper is important.
I have no vote over whether to open them or not. I'm more interested in knowing who's supposed to inform you to open them.

I'd say, don't open them.. if what I think is true, I used to know the guy who is sending these, who had this idea to launch his ARG.... hopefully I'm right, or else, I fear for your life

But it might be last years fruit cake.

Now that I think about it, I change my vote to keep 'em sealed until instructed. Might be interesting to see how it goes. That said, do you recognize the handwriting from any previous games? I know it's a bit unlikely, but I figure it's worth a shot.
