 		Ok, I'm back. Pardon my yesterday. It was over 100 degrees in Portland and it took very little to set me off, legitimately and illegitimately alike.

 		Never affected me any, bix. Dunno

The mezin phone call didn't say they were Mezin?
That's odd.
Their mailbox is full (Advaaaaanced, isn't it?) so I couldn't hear the answering machine.

 		new fake site for EHWR
new fake site for EHWR
Someone created a site looking for the owner of a Black SUV with New York plates ABZ3293, the same plate found in the movie trailer.

http://www.abz3293.com/?p=3

A whois brings back:

Domain Name: ABZ3293.COM
Registrar: DSTR ACQUISITION PA I, LLC DBA DOMAINBANK.COM
Whois Server: rs.domainbank.net
Referral URL: http://www.domainbank.net
Name Server: NS1.YOOTER.NET
Name Server: NS2.YOOTER.NET
Status: ok
Updated Date: 10-jul-2007
Creation Date: 10-jul-2007
Expiration Date: 10-jul-2008

The site is most likely fake and offers no information.

Did I miss something new, or are we talking about the outgoing message they left on Van's voicemail?

Edited for make sense.

Has nobody worked on confirming EHWR's connection to the RPG, Alpha Omega? I've seen some work done on other sites and I figured everyone agreed on it by now.

I've seen it mentioned, but I can't recall anyone spelling out how they came to it. Would you mind c&p'ing your explanation of how its related?

Fair enough. Perhaps just keep your post up to day until we hit a day or two before 8-1. Then start a new thread with your post at the top. I don't see us doing much than theorizing till then. Might as well let this thread fill with the spam and start anew with a fresh thread when the game begins. A wiki might also be good, but I've found those are almost more trouble than they're worth when you're playing an ARG unless you've got a really good group of people maintaining and editing it for accuracy.

You need to use days like that to drink many a frosty adult beverage. You drink until you're cooled down or don't care anymore Wink

It's an entirely out of game thing. Evidence (to me) compelling, but circumstantial. I have the chain of things on various posts to the blog in my sig.

 		Yeah, I wasn't so sure about this much effort being put into a tabletop RPG.
But then again... I've been wrong many times before...

I've seen two things. First of all, the image shown on the Alpha Omega website is almost an exact replica of a small section of the background pictured on EHWR.com. Also, I saw some work being done on another forum where the website was traced back to Mindstorm Labs, which is the creator of the RPG. I couldn't tell you how they done this, since I'm relatively ignorant when it comes to technology and such.

Honestly, it was hard to tell what they were saying. They were using some kind of text to speech converter because the voice was very electronic.

We should really be recording and stashing all the video and audio. FWIW, all 5 messages from EHWR are back on YouTube for the time being.

 		Nah, it was pretty clear. I've been playing with electronic voices for a while ( I love em XD) and that's what Mezin would sound like.

There hasn't been much effort at all put into it. The puzzle site was created, and all of the other websites could be hoaxes. If I follow correctly, nobody has been able to confirm any links between EHWR, and the various blog sites that are around.

Ok, that definitely shores up EHWW a little bit more now. I'm 99% certain they were using the term Mezin before that VM was changed. Good work on grabbing the file.
