Please feel free to get involved. If the puzzles are as difficult as they were last time, we'll need all the help we can get. There is an IRC chat, but it's accessible by IC characters and we all go IC if/when they show up, just to warn those of you that aren't into the IC interaction thing.

So two questions:

1) Has this ARG begun then? (at work, cannot access videos)

2) Do we need to have played the first ARG to join in on this one? (reading through the summary right now, but can't watch videos due to afformentioned reason)

Thanks!

Yes, Ch 2 appears to be starting up in earnest, as a second video has already been released. I don't think it is necessary at all to have played Ch 1, but of course you should walk through the Ch1 summary thread (link in the first post above) to catch up with the story - at least watch the videos. There are some partially solved puzzles from the Ch 1 drop materials, but it's not clear yet whether those will come into play in Ch 2.

To follow along, see the discussion threads in the Maddison Atkins ARG forum on the lonelygirl15 website:

http://lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=117


See particularly the sticky [SUMMARY] thread there that includes a link near the top to the IRC chat that Esteed mentioned.

A second place to check for updates is a fan blog called "LG15 Today" http://lg15today.blogspot.com
This main blog page also has a sub-page dedicated to the Maddison Atkins ARG http://maddisonatkins.blogspot.com/

So happy to see this back. I agree Quince, I don't think you have to have played the 1st in order to jump in now. Just read a summary and watch the videos.

I'm assuming we'll have to go back and look at those Mr. Zipp puzzles we haven't quite solved. It will be nice to have some new eyes on these.

For those who may be interested, the last couple of videos have been notable.

The July 14th video features Maddison's father, in a very strong performance. The actor has been identified as Brad Maule, who is associated with Stephen F. Austin in Nacogdoches, TX. He was a regular on General Hospital for many years.

Today's video, July 16th, is our first look at Maddison's killer, Joel Frady, who is locked up in a mental institution.

Follow the links in the first post to the discussion threads for more info.

A link to a new blog by puppet master Jeromy Barber has also been added - for those who want some behind-the-scenes insight.

Keep checking the first post of this thread for updates.

Now I'm getting confused... What's IG, what's not?

---

Warpylol? (Yes, I think so.)

15over15? -----}
LofiSyndicate? -} These are all related, right?
Dehteraew? ----}

TJmarsh? (This looks kinda fan-fic-ish to me, but I'm not sure.)

RedEarth? (Or is she going to be LG canon? Or is it fanfic? I dunno.)

---

Clearly, I'm not following this as closely as I'd have liked, but... I'd still like to know what's going on. Wink

Edit: Ok, 15/15 craziness happened. I get it now. Wink
