Damn it!!! I really want to not be staring at this thread!!! Rolling Eyes

Beef Supreme,

There are no posts by a77mericaneagle in any of the "public" groups. You of course can't view the "private" groups unless you're a member. I guess we could "request" to be a member of each of the "private" groups but I suggest that you don't "request" membership in GirlsWhoMasterbate unless you can prove that you are one. Might cause a scandal. How do you think they initiate their members though? No, better to not go there.

I don't think the post at untonindiana means we are missing a puzzle or any hidden words. If you click subscribe to the rss feed, you see that the post was actually created "Saturday, July 21, 2007, 9:55:29 PM." This was shortly after the Agent posted on project5224 and in the source put <Unton>.

I think he expected us to find untonindiana by this clue. But since we didn't, he added it to the latest post. This would explain "The Hidden Words" clue because it is referring to the hidden words (document5224, behindproject5224, etc) that we would later receive.

I had thought about that but didn't subscribe to the rss and had nothing to base it on. If that holds true then what? The last lead was the student.com posts that gave us Gabriel's cell number.

I don't believe that we got anything from that except the voicemail.

"Hey, this is Gabriel. You've reached my cell. Leave a message and I'll call you back. Bye."

The difference in posts is 2 for each a77mericaneagle and sharkbyte0. Since "group" posts don't show up and I've used the search for the public ones and didn't come up with anything, they must be from a "private" group.

I would expect that even if you are running a "group" for fictional reasons that you would consider the site that you're using. By that I mean that the "private" group should be under the "other" category not "religion" or "gay/bi/lesbian".

Request to join all of them?

Edit: All right, well, flattery will get you everywhere. I'll stick around for awhile.

Edit: I requested membership into all of the "private" groups in the "other" category.

I seriously dont think that would help, and from experiance just causes even more problems. Its also totally against rules. People question how they came across something, and it then proves to be pretty obvious that its the PM posting, which pisses people off and then they leave the game.

If its patience everyones talking about, then I guess only me and jabroni had been following Bristel Goodman Laughing

Remember guys, this game has pretty much only just started, we can never know if something has come up in the PM's life temporally, it could just be a glitch, they could be making a video which takes alot longer than people imagine.

Maybe BG has instilled so much patience into me that a few days without contact doesnt matter.
And whos to say that this isnt part of the story? Maybe they go missing and we await contact from the WW for example.

I wouldnt worry about it just yet. When you havent heard from them in months, then you start thinking of giving up Laughing

That's not an option here TOS linky - and every PM knows that to do so would bring shame on their family Wink

I understand your frustration though - hoping there's shiny content round the corner.

I know that someone has already mentioned the discrepancy between the number of posts listed for Gabriel and Justin on student.com and how many posts come up in a forum search. I think this might deserve a little more attention. angri is listed as having made 3 posts, but only 2 come up in forum search because one of them was in the 'groups' (asking help w/ Harry Potter line of inquiry). Apparently group posts don't come up in forum searches, but do apply to one's total posts. I would hypothesize that there is a short dialogue between Gabriel and Justin somewhere within the groups. I haven't found it yet, but it's pretty much the only vague semblance of a direction I have at this point. Does anyone else think this might be something besides wildly improbable spec?


i was the one who mentioned that there were 5 listed posts by gabriel, yet only three showed up in forum. I definitely think this is important, you are right beef.

as of now, this may be the only unfollowed breadcrumb that may lead tot he gingerbread house. anyone have any luck finding these 2 missing posts?

My frustastration lies in the fact that for the last 5 days the main character of this ARG has been sitting in Unton doing absolutely nothing. He's not even telling us "Um...we're not doing anything".

Colby and Christine were going to leave gor Unton in 2 days. It took them 6 to actually go. If there was something that had to be finished, I think 4 extra days would do it. No, they are waiting on us and in doing so it is stretching my "disbelief" beyond it's boundaries. Anyway...

A few posts up I described my thoughts on the "private" groups and what I have done. Both a77merican and sharkbyte0 haven't logged in for 3 days. If I did "hit" the right group with a request we won't know until they login and accept it.

Edit: sharkbyte0 has 1 friend besides Gabriel. You would think that he wouldn't have her on his profile if she wasn't in game but I'm pretty sure she's not.

Oh, and get this- She's a Catholic High School girl who says "I'm 19, I love to just have a good time!"

For decades, the government has researched the appearance of Unidentified Flying Objects over a vast area of the United States. Perhaps the most famous incident regarding UFOs was the night back in 1947, in Roswell, New Mexico, where residents reported a downed alien spacecraft.<br><br>The government's official report was that a weather balloon had come down in the area. Residents scoffed at the idea, claiming to have seen something not from this world.<br><br>Since then, aliens have been at the forefront of conspiracy theorists around the globe.<br><br>I, Agent Darkness, have information that could revolutionize the way we look at the stars. I, Agent Darkness, know what's out there. <br><br><strong>WARNING: PART OF POST HIDDEN.</strong><br><br><!-- You'll have to look in the source to find this. I am a government agent, involved in Project 5224. I know what happened in Roswell in 1947, and let me tell you, it was no weather balloon.

the last part that was hidden on that post was easy to find. if you use firefox, you use the "view page source" and it shows you the hidden part, i'll quote that right here

New Colby post!

Most interesting? "First, as someone suggested to Colby, we went to Krogers on Sunday (a grocery store) and went back into the office to check Saturday morning's tapes. It seems like everything was fine, normal, until... at 7:07 am, there was a huge flash of light, the screen went white for a full sixty seconds, and when the light faded the people had all disappeared."

7:07? Ding ding ding

There's a new section on the Prophecy of Stars page.

http://prophecyofstars.weebly.com/firebringers.html

It says

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

The Firebringers

they want to enslave you. make your choice. a peaceful coexistence, or a life on a barren planet?



((The Firebringers grow angry. They want to kill, to rip and tear, but we have protected Unton. It is time to do your part. Save your planet, and protect the galaxy from enslavement.))



Part of it you have to highlight to be able to read, just so you know. This doesn't really tell us anything that we didn't already know, though.

Just uncovered a second part that isn't linked on the page...

http://prophecyofstars.weebly.com/windwalkers.html

It says
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

The Windwalkers

we want a peaceful coexistence with the human race. find the chosen, and you may join us.



-- We are protecting those in Unton, Indiana. They have been taken to an alternate dimension, which has recently "set." They cannot communicate with you, and you cannot communicate with them.

Unfortunately, there have been side effects. The Unton, Indiana that exists in your world has been experiencing temporal distortion.

The time for the Chosen to be found approaches. The Firebringers, angered that they can no longer reach the citizens of Unton, are planning an assault. Only the Chosen can save the galaxy.

The Prophecy of Stars will soon be revealed.

==The Chosen-

is a woman

is connected to the contact point

darkness does not always mean evil


FIND THE SECTORS IN TEA


Looks like we're up and running again!!!

Nice Find!!!

Ok, what the hell does "...an alternate dimension, which has recently 'set.' " mean?

Quote:

1.) is a woman.
Christine?

2.) is connected to the contact point.
What is "the contact point"? A place? Is it Colby? Is he their contact point?

3.)darkness does not always mean evil.
Sure, but what does this apply to? Gabriel? The Other Dimension? The physical appearance of the Wind Walkers?

Edit: And finally "Find the Sectors in Tea"

Edit: Damn it!!! Why do I always have to go when something cool happens. Cursing

I think I've figured out part of the riddle/puzzle! Very Happy

"Darkness does not always mean evil."

Agent: Darkness.

He/She might seem shady, but they aren't evil. Darkness doesn't always mean evil. So Agent Darkness is not evil.

Plus... Agent: Darkness might be the Chosen. We don't know whether or not they're a woman... (from AngriBuddhist)
