[Trailhead?] Malignant Reality.. mb Ok so I don't normally get trailheads or anything of the nature, figured I'd post this and I have no idea what it might be related to. I just went and saw the video and saw that the owner of the video was trying to tag it with several popular ARGs (I guess to draw attention?)
I got the e-mail on my phone and didn't care to open the attachments (I can forward to someone if interested)

But ah! Not before I have a bit of fun.

I apologize if this is for another game that's currently running. The email came from some weird name with weird lettering/symbols. The youtube page has words upside down and an upside down e-mail... really creepy - LOL
Do Not Get Involved - well that's what the video said So I probably won't (too busy).
Hopefully it's fun for those who want to follow it *and no it's not mine*
and apparently it's got another youtube video with an upside down poem:

LadyLovelyLocks posted this in the "Is it Spam" thread this morning and I took a look at the "messages" on the YT page.
Here is what we got so far. Didn't think to pull it out of the Spam thread before you started the trail here.
Yup, looks like an ARG is afoot for those looking for something new over the holidays.
I would guess the next step would be sending an email by those interested in helping this fellow get caught and put in jail (isn't that what he wants????).

It's a poem by Isaac Watts called "Against Idleness And Mischief" (thanks to Kona for figuring out the copy/paste-thing).
Edit: Got a response to my "Hey I wanna play!"-mail:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
First, look in the videos to find clues. There should be a video or two every day. Small clues here and there.
Wait. Be patient.
Huh.

I got the Trailhead, too. Looks good but I'm too lazy to stand on my head all the time to read everything.

I think I see some sort of angel in the "Take you down"-video. It pops up after about six seconds in the lower parts of the rhomb.

I got the trailhead email, minus attachments. A criminal is turning himself in... If we catch him? Sounds interesting. Too bad I'm going to be away over the holiday. :'(

So, I got an e-mail with less attitude this time.

My friend, what do you see to your right?
All the work I should have done today. Bleh.
In all seriousness, does anyone know what city that is supposed to be? Paris? Rome? I have no idea.

So there's a new video up.
The title is "One Two Three Four", and the description

We've debated on this for a while in #unfiction. It's not Paris, and I haven't checked Google Maps yet but I'm pretty sure nothing in Rome looks like this. From looking at a map of Washington D.C. it looks like they might have taken bits from there and edited into some sort model for a movie set or something...
ETA: Rowan just found this ... still doesn't say where it is though...

I got this trailhead too, and I'm really excited because it's my first!
Okay, so I did some major zooming on the youtube.png file and I got basically the same stuff that was in the other image. The "Do not resist, I am now controlling your motor skills" stuff. Can anyone figure out what city that is in the picture? I'm about to email him back for more clues, given that he said to contact him for more clues.

Ok, Rowan found out that it is Paris, we were looking at the Louvre/Tuilleries part of it earlier, but it's the Parc du Champs de Mars leading up to the Eiffel tower (link ).
