 		Phone Call
I already did... nothing really interesting, just your average voice mailbox message telling the caller that if they have any information on where Hope may be to please leave a message. Didn't leave one. Trying to record the mailbox message as we speak.

 		Wow looks like a lot happened whilst I was away for the weekend...I have no problems calling the US as I have free international calls.

I'm off to catch up on the story!

 		Interesting development about the "Deep throat" parcel on the stage6 forum. Someone has recognised the green circle as a shotcode code, but are having problems reading it. Shotcodes link to web site addresses, so it could be interesting.

 		No cell phone, so I won't be getting this one. How disappointing. It's a good thing I wasn't playing this by myself, this is where my adventure would have ended.

Also, not to be picky or anything, but isn't saying "An Alternate Reality Game" defeating the whole purpose of creating an "Alternate Reality Game"?

Yeah, I am in the same boat.

I agree, but it was only added after so many people complained on stage6.

 		Oh, goodie... another "Court TV"/I don't know what is real and what is not moment. I swear, people need to stop thinking that the world revolves around their stupidity and not complain so much. /complaint Very Happy

 		New blogspot post which seems to put an end to my shorthand idea and someone on stage6 has got the shotcode address.

http://www.shotcode.com/resolve/?300:001:01602f5086070705:40006905b66962b0

Bah, it seems like nothing is leading anywhere at the moment. Let's hope the new video will give us more to work with.

 		This looks interesting, I guess this is my first ARG. I'm going through the audio off of the Stage6 video, let you know if I find anything.

 		the package shortcode! I thought that green circle looked added.

so it leads to http://americandistro.com/ which states on it's website

Now we know the Mum's B/F who shot himself had just returned from a tour of duty.....maybe there is a connection?

I think that company is the one that Richard talks about in the video... "I was working on the start-up internet company that I co-founded, but that is on hold now" (<--- rough quote). That would also explain why nothing on the site works.

EDIT: Separated the audio from the video to see if I could do anything about taking out the noise and other voices, but couldn't get far. I'm hoping by uploading it here that someone will be able to take it a little bit further then I have been able to. The sound has been amplified (be warned) and I have taken out the right side of the audio in order to be able to focus on just what is being said. It sounds like "I need to call you honey (inaudible)." But that's just me. You guys try, huh?

 		LETTER
I see two different messages in the letter, one in small blue ink and the prominent thick black ink written over the other message. Can anyone make out the small blue writing? Another thing to not is that the handwriting on the letter does not match the handwriting on the envelope. Notice the printing on the envelope and the cursive in the note. Possibly something that Hope wrote and someone else sent?

I also Googled the phone number with no results, so I removed the last four digits. One intriguing result was that of Peanut Labs in San Fransisco.

QUOTE FROM THEIR WEBSITE
Social Networks, Virtual Worlds, Forums & other online Communities use Peanut Labs to significantly increase the amount of revenue they make.

Peanut Labs provides Market Researchers with a very sought-after, but hard-to-reach demographic: Generation Y. They don't read. They don't watch TV. But they're on their computers constantly.
End quote

Not sure if it's related but this seems like the kind of thing that they would do to reach the "hard-to-reach demographic".

 		Audio
I'm going through the audio from the video, I think someone says "I declare this" at the beginning during the silence.

 		insider
...
don't there have to be an insider in the stage 6 game? he is constantly finding hints that noone else would find. the thing about the y generation seems from very far away... i am an outsider, say the vid on youtube today. thought it was some stupid game or anything alike...
