As if by magic, the shopkeeper appears...

I don't know if that helps or hurts the case for it. I'm also not sure how easy it is to fake timestamps/registration dates on blogspot.

I think that's not too hard. If I remember Sameeeee right, one of the first blogs in that game had posts from 2004, 2005, 2006 or something like it. Willforth.blogspot.com also fits with the number of letters in the transricpt doesn't it?

 		Unfortunately, we're wrong though.

Hey Gord,

I don't think that's the one. The entry's dated 2003! Though you're probably right with the blogspot thing. That first part of the message is probably the important part!

Return to the drawing boards (and deleting my RSS feed on the WillForth blog)--helluva coincidence though, an Englishman by the name of Will Forth setting up a blog with blogspot.

 		Deciphered the music code. It seems that I was not far off the first time.

The website is :

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
www.4th07.blogspot.com



Not much on it yet... But who knows now we discovered it, it gets maybe some updates.

 		This is what is written on his blogpost

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Heh. A nice and cheerful apology for a first post. Sorry about the puzzle, sorry about the secrecy, sorry for dragging you out of the system, and for getting Slewth arrested. I've no doubt it'll all be worth it.

Marie said to me once: 'It doesn't matter about the means, so long as the ends are justified'. Y'know what? I think she's right. I hope she's right. I'd like to think I'm doing the right thing, I'm sure I am, but what if, what if my views are clouded?

I'm sure you're fed up hearing this now, but I need your help. Together we can change my (our) future, and who knows, things may be different in 2037.

Listen, and I'll tell you why...and how.


Nothing else was on the page. An empty profile, and only that message.

When he found out that his site was found he changed the text near his profile. It now says :

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
That's my swingset, and that's my sandbox. I'm not allowed to go in the deep end. And this is where I met the leprechaun.


IN his profile he says : ;

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
You've got to make contact with the alien leader. How will you tell when the conversation is finished?

I'd just wait for the beep.


Since I joined this ARG only 2 weeks ago, I have no idea who this person is that we need to contact. Any ideas ?

Heh, I've been on this ARG from the beginning and it makes no sense to me, either. Unless he has somehow been "reeducated" like those in the future. Or Foo is actually an alien in disguise.

 		I don't know, it'll make sense as it goes on, probably. Well, the first part of his profile is from the Simpsons--when Ralph talks about the leprechaun telling him to burn things.

Wyzalf, you rock! Thanks!

Now... to decipher the first part!

 		That is probably why I wrote this message :

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Slewth,

Who is this alien leader we need to contact ?
I joined the TIA forces only recently. I hope I can help you, but you
need to inform me a little bit more about this case.

Greetings,
Wyzalf


After his response I found out that I mixed him up... or... I mixed the names up..

This was his response.... interesting, isn't it ?



Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Huh? Alien leader?

Oh! you're talking about the profile. Don't worry. I haven't gone completely bonkers, I mean, sure there's a simpsons quote but please ignore the Alien stuff, it's just one of them stupid questions they ask on your profile page. I guess it's the start of global indexing? Nothing to worry about though, it's just a bit of fun. I don't think it's a serious question, and I don't think it'll have any relevance in the future.

Although, apparently they do keep all of the information they hold. Kinda bit like Big Brother, don't you think?

Heh. Take it easy.

Oh, please don't call me Slewth, at least not now.

Will.

 		Well this confirms our early suspicions that Will Forth and Slewth is one and the same.... atleast in my eyes.

 		I guess so. But it seemed like two different people from Will's reaction before.

Sounds like Will has a split personality or something. And he said don't call him Slewth yet--reminds me of Brackin with his Theophilius name (well, not exactly, but similar).

Unless there is more than one Slewth? Maybe it's a title rather than a name? Just throwing out ideas now, sorry.

 		Maybe Will is part of the current brotherhood/tcotsa/underground/whatever and "slewth" is his super secret identity code name!

 		But it's not a super secret. We all know it. Doesn't that make it a bad secret???

Will's telling us now, in his blog. Hopefully, it'll be updated quick. It'll help with our speculating and questions.

I'm still interested in the first part of the audio. If anyone knows what it is, please put it up. If I figure it out, I'll put it up, and we can all be happy Very Happy

Also, I wrote to Will, asking if he wanted me to say anything in particular to Slewth (Red Karma might finally be useful for something! Yay!) Here's his reply via email:
Quote:

Wavecrest,

I think I'm fine for now. Though I may need your help in the future. And as for the leprechaun, he's not telling me to burn things...yet Wink I love that quote!

Sorry, I haven't really got much to say. I'm leaving work early today, because my wife's been a little distressed lately. I'd better shoot off and make sure she's good.

Will


But if you receive an email it says this: From: slewth lockley

So is Forth his last name or should we look for something IG refering to Lockley? Just curious.

Hi James,

That's a good question. Usually DefenseCorp's data is pretty accurate, unless they're trying to cover something up. I can't see anything that we can do at the moment. I'll keep my eyes open though, and as for Slewth - I really do think he's alive. I'd never forgive myself if he was killed.

I'm going to start my story today, there's so much to tell, that it's hard to know where to begin. Hopefully I'll be starting at a good place.

Keep safe Smile

Will

 		Site was updated.

** edit ** And I got another email

Hi Wyzalf,

Firstly, I appologise if I've caused confusion. Slewth is someone I don't want to be, but I know deep down that I am him. Hopefully we can change the future and stop that all from happening. Don't worry about it for now.

As for the Big Brother stuff, 1984 is an interesting book but it has no deeper meaning in my reference. I was simply making a reference to the pointless questions being asked by the blogging software, and the apparent 'need' to know everything about you. It's funny y'know. Oh and Blogger's owned by google. There was an article in the papers over here yesterday about google's plans to make personal databases - scary stuff.

I'm making a post today to explain the slewth stuff, stay tuned!

Will
