The real bad guys here are the MIB.. they somehow control the beast... Also the beast is not natural (hairy with a fish tail) so we got some peeps that are torturing blackriver for some reason. though we don't know why...also why would anyone want to mess with jared hes a kid. I would bet his parents know more than they are telling


Also, I wonder if it is of any significance that only women have been attacked by the beast and/or MIB. Jared was given the Org phone # (which I've not checked in the past few days, btw!), but other than that, only women are confronted, or rather, attacked. Then again, maybe the pm is just a misogynist...lol!

I'm not sure how to interpret the last message from BK. First of all, is BK just the messenger, or is from him/her/it?. I'm going to research "BR virus" next, but up until now, I've found nothing.

Can anyone tell me if the DNA website is IG or RW?

Oh yeah...disregard Dan's last post. He only partially knows what he's talking about! Wink (I agree that we need more people here!)

New Email

Just got this email from complete.the.tasksSPLATgmail.com


Be prepared.

The second task begins tomorrow. You have not received information about it yet, but you will. Do not believe those who would mislead you.

The Beast cannot be killed. It could not be killed in 2k5 and it will not be destroyed in 2k7.

That DNA sight is legit. It was registered in the 1990s. so it is not ingame.
EDIT
OK I sent that Marvin guy this
Quote:
Ok you sound like a no nothing idiot... I'm not going to pay you anything I was just asking about cryptozoology. send your form mail to someone else. I can see now I was wrong in asking you about cryptozoology. Never mind


He sent me back this
Quote:
a "no" nothing idiot? ok, I'm not going to comment on that little bit there. I do know about cryptozoology, ok? I know quite a lot. I know a lot, just not about this Beast of Black River everyone keeps asking me about, ok?

If you're afraid of the payment, then don't worry about payment, ok? I don't want your money, I just want you to do certain... things... that will be relatively painless for you to do, ok? Ok, completely painless. But you have to prove you're not a vampire who's gonna hunt me down or anything.

Ok? I'm not a "no" nothing idiot. I'm really smart. Really.

Marvin

ok i wrote him back

Ok do you know of any hairy fishtailed cryptids?? From the discription it has a dog like or wolf like face. I'e never heard of a Hairy cryptid with a fish tail. I'm think it is some kind of genetic experiment or a mutation. In your experience as a cryptozoologist Do you agree with my hypothesis??. So whats the price?? thanks David

lol

Jared posted a new chapter on his FicPress page. It was pretty intersting all around, but what really stuck out to me was his mention of BeastKiller. I don't know about anyone else, but except for here and in IM's that didn't include Jared, I don't believe I've mentioned BK. I'll have to go back and double check, but I'm pretty sure that BK has not come up in any conversations between Jared and I.

I know there is the small possibility of a goof up on the PM's part in bringing some aspect of these discussions into the game, but I really doubt it.

Judging by the email Dan got from ?? and Jared's comments about BK, it seems the Org/Mibs and Jared are on the same page about BK...He/she/it is up to no good. However, it seems pretty clear to me that BK has been contacting me at great personal risk, and has a very healthy fear of the powers-that-be in Black River...I'm inclined to see BK as the real deal. Soooo.... with that in mind (and barring the fact that someone else may have been filling Jared in on BK's messages to me), I'm starting to wonder if there is more to Jared than would apear... Shifty Eyes

We did see him, briefly, on AIM yesterday. I told him about this on his FicPress forum. I also asked him about his knowlege of BK

About BK's message from yesterday..."they are using me"...there's no way that could be coming from the beast itself, is there?? Because when you think about it, the Org/Mibs have made it pretty clear that they control the beast. But anyway, just throwing that idea out there.

I also got a response from Marvin. It took a while, but it was basically the same..."I don't know anything....ok?" He did say that he'd be willing to work with me, so I took him up on that in my response. I can't help but to think if I'd not been calling him "Martin" (let alone, "Creepy Marty...although he kinda is!) the whole time, maybe I'd have gotten a quicker response? Embarassed Rolling Eyes

Oh well!

Wabonan, you are too damn funny!! Well, at least now you know which of his buttons to push!! Laughing

Oh yeah....thanks for fixing that up, Degravity. I was doing 20 things at the same time when I posted that, and didn't take the time to clean it. Wink

LMAO!!! Laughing

Just got a response (see below) from Mr. Garri Creepy Marvin. In his signature, he "bolded" and underscored the "V" in his name... Question (LOL! NM..I was calling him marTin instead of marVin the whole time...D'Oh!!)

I sent back a response asking him what exactly his fee was, if he'd been contacted by anyone from BR other than Jared, and if he had any idea what kind of group might be behind this..ie, private group, govt, etc. Cross your fingers!

Yay, Arbolita!!! Welcome aboard!!! Very Happy

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, April, I'd be glad to work with you too. Things are definitely strange. Did you read Jared's latest chapter to his story? He completely fell out of time for a day, ok? Something weird is going on. Who has the power to do that? I'm definitely thinking this is some kind of conspiracy, ok? I don't really know what's up with that, but something's happening, ok?

I charge for specific questions, for information that I hold that I think is probably worth something to someone. My opinion on whatever stuff's happening in Black River is free, ok? Cause you probably don't want it anyway, ok? I'll charge if you need my help with something specific but if you just want to discuss what's going on, then I'm free, ok?

Thanks.

Marvin

ok i've been looking around this site and i found a user named PokeKiller2k6. that seems a lot like BeastKiller2k7 to me...

Plus, all these references to not being able to kill the beast (i got a phone call the other night that said that) and people telling us not to trust BeastKiller... it really seems like the PM is trying to warn us about a gamejacker.

Especially that email from the org. "It could not be killed in 2k5 and it cannot be killed in 2k7," or whatever it said. How much more explicit can they be? BeastKiller=gamejacker. I think, anyway.

So... you guys can waste your time if you want but i really think we should just ignore bk.

-----

anyway, anyone else think it's interesting that none of us heard anything from anyone at all yesterday, and then today we find that black river dropped out of time for a while?

So, who's pumped for this second task? And who else is worried about whatever payment we're supposed to send Marvin?

And oh yeah. Let's start taking advantage of this ARGs With Potential thing, and start posting new info in its own threads.

(see? i've been doing my homework on this site! Smile )

just my $.02.

hsr
th

This beast killer could quite possibly be trying to edit the game, and thus Jared posted what he did in his blog to push him out of the game. That is taking over, and it is highly disliked. Plus why would the mib give out calls just saying that the beast cannot be killed? To discredit beastkiller...

That is a definite possibility, but if that's the case, then this arg is looking pretty dull... Almost all of our correspondances have been fruitless. There are no websites or other sources that any of us have found that would let us dig deeper into the story....We've basically been sitting around waiting for quizzes.

What did you find out about Pokekiller?

Ok another reply from Marvin
Quote:
Well, David, because I'm not really giving youany information... no, I've never heard of a cryptid with half hairy body and half fish, ok? But what makes you think it's a fish? I didn't read that anywhere, ok? Do you know something I don't? But a genetic experiment/mutation sounds good to me, ok?

I sent back
Quote:
Yea I know stuff you don't know I grilled jared through several e-mails about the tail.. He kept saying it was forked... I mean how vague is that. So I asked him to describe it he said it was flat like a snakes tounge... Then I asked him did it resemble a fish tail he said yea . I was asking the right questions. but a creature with those different features doesn't seem to have a natural background... By the way I can send you a picture of me catching a fish to prove i'm not a vampire...It is one hell of a fish by the way

lol more fun
