Is the philosopher maybe a reference to the Sun God? Was the mayan Sun God considered a philosopher or was he related to philosophy in any way?

What could that possibly portray?

It leads to images of the envelope, letter and stickers. The same ones we already have.

But why would a clue keep people from playing the ARG? He says that he's getting rid of the project....that would be HORRID Puppetmastrey. I say he's a gamejack, only speaking like an idiot becuase that's the way the letter's written.

Why would he have the same images the person who started this thread has? Maybe he is working with who ever started this thread.

You can tell they are the same images because it has that I shaped shadow in the back which the person who scanned the letter says it is their scanner which caused the shadow.

Serious Google Stalking Alert:

I just received a letter from Tom ... at my university lab address, which I don't give out as a mailing address, or try to associate with uhm, me here. Shocked

Yipes. Good work, Google Stalker. Extra bonus points if you send a copy of my publications, too Wink

I think the contents are the same as Spacely's - I'll scan and post when I get home.

Why does he have the same images, which he claimed to have scanned himself, that the philosopher uploaded some time back?

It's not that difficult to take the images and save them to your computer....just put them in Paint or Photoshop and save it.

And second, an admin started this thread, highly doubt he created the ARG. And even if he did, he wouldn't tell people to stop playing...

If this pertains to TradeCraftJournal, why didn't he post in that thread?
Is he supposed to be the PM of TCJ?
If not, then how did he come to the decision that this is part of TCJ?

like shiningfist just said, he saved the image that spacebass scanned. Obviously this "philosopher" didnt scan the pics himself, and since the pics link that philosopher sent were updated um, today, he obviously took SpaceBass' photos and added them as links to his page.


EDIT: uploaded yesterday, sorry
