 		Left of yours and Right of mine
Examine:
A meeting of minds. What's left of yours and right of mine. Speaking of whats left of yours and right of mine, I'll soon be drawing your attention to the center of the table where as you will see absolutely nothing is happening. But nothing is a rather sad and elusive quantity, for as they never say blue hunk kills liz amen. But let's you and I consider the situation together. .. You don't go for that. Well, then perhaps a picture is worth a thousand words, though if you could get 1500 for it I'd take it. I'd take it and run.

Thinking lexigraphically, what's "left of yours" and "right of mine" includes every word between "yours" and "mine," assuming the "value" of each letter increases from A to Z (which is typical). This includes the word "table," and if the speaker is directing us (again) lexigraphically, at the center of "table," we find the letter B, which may have some significance in the next sentence, in which B both begins the sentence and the nonsense phrase at the end of it. In addition, B is of course the first letter in the title of the ARG.

 		What I thought was ascii...
NetThreats is right. The code

BGR3Awp3AQVjZD==

translates into a phone number.

After performing a ROT13, you get

OTE3Njc3NDIwMQ==

Translated from Base64, you get the phone number

9176774201

 		About the phone number:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Netthreats decoded the morse code you get when you call the number (which you can read on their site), and the message is what lead us to blood.redirectme.net. The message from that file (which you have to rename to a .rar file, not .jpg) has been decoded to: Purity, innocence, sovereignty, surrender, cowardice, death, rebirth, even West or metal or a whale. We're stuck from there, although Rhino has mentioned that it might be connected to Hamlet.



Also I think the two phrases:
Quote:
blue hunk kills liz amen
petite teenage twatski stingless gent


Are either connected, or decoded in the same way... I'm just not sure how we're supposed to do that.

 		Well, on Rumi's myspace, someone named David Poe posted Dont Go 26 times on her first blog. Any ideas?

 		David Poe, misc.
I posted on the wiki to this effect. Also, the voice in the song at the end of video 1 may sound somewhat like Poe (need to give it another listen), but I checked all of his lyrics I could find and couldn't get a hit. Also, posting something 26 times is either a big hint or a big coincidence. A fresh pair of eyes on this could prove helpful.

A few other things, in the third video we are shown very delibarately (superimposed over the subject) an eight of clubs. Any significance to this?

I've also been turning this over in my head all day:

But nothing is a rather sad and elusive quantity, for as they never say blue hunk kills liz amen.

Assuming the last 5 words were a puzzle, I considered this from a different angle. Specifically, I took "they" to be letters, so since the sentence reads "they NEVER say," I took this to mean that these five words weren't a message at all, or even an encoded message. Since they NEVER say this, I thought I'd examine all the letters absent from the phrase. Seemed promising, but I came up with nothing. Especially since the only vowel not included is O.

I was thinking the same thing about Poe, maybe hes created music for the game.

I was looking over the myspaces and I remembered an old post about Rumi's friend Th3spian04, the "Actor/director." In the post someone figured out that his resume is copied from actor Brad Friedman from his site: http://www.bradfriedman.com/ActorResume.htm

I noticed that one of the credits listed is HamletMachine, maybe this is significant? Also looking at Hamletmachine made me realize that "Marty" has changed one word in every listing on his resume that he copied from the website. If you compare his myspace with the actual resume, he adds these words (each break is a new acting job):

Quote:

Montanna
Bob Policis
Pack
Storybart
Waterhouse
Thonpson
Dancing
Dancing
Tom Evans - Dancing
Dancing
Tom Evans - Cantonese
James Parker - Songstick
Evans
Symbiolits
Samsun
Morgan
Gavins
Evans
Jaems Davis - Orpheaunm
Petra Slovich - Gavins
Gavins


I can't find any hidden messages in these words, and somehow they seem to random to be decoded. Maybe he just wanted to make the resume look like he didn't copy it. Any ideas?

 		Have any of you gone to http://www.nikizcolorz.com/ website? I found the link on cityhicknik's profile. At first I thought it was nothing then I saw on the photo page bottom right is a photo of Nora. Might definitely be something else here.

 		I noticed that link for http://www.nikizcolorz.com in her profile but I didn't think to check it. I don't see a picture of Nora though... there seems to be a missing picture at the bottom, is that where it was or am I missing it?

He probablly thought it was on the photos section. When I first went there I glanced at an image I thought was of Nora, but a closer look at an enlargement of itshowed it wasn't.

 		I've been waiting for a response from Rhino but it's been about two weeks so I'll just post this. A few days after I had the AIM chat with rhinojock27, I got this email:

This is the only Tom King I can find that is Shakespeare related:

Also, this email was not from the same IP address as Eddie and Yoder. The IP was: 71.101.204.137, which is in Florida (a lot of ip sites seem to be innaccurate, but this is according to an ip lookup that got my city right). The city in Florida is near Sarasota, which is where Richard Ramsdell (who registered pop57) lives.
