CStrife311 was online, tried talking to him... no response. Are we missing something?

Ok, whew....

I've been lurking this game for quite a while now and I've read from page 1 all the way here to page 95 and I've been so interested in this game that I thought I'd jump aboard.

Ok, so I don't know if this has happened to anybody else, so I'm just gonna jump right into this here.

Anybody remember the number from before? the number that you could supposedly reach Jeff at? Well I called it again a few minutes ago, and got Jeff's voicemail. I was a bit freaked since this is my first ARG, so I didn't leave a message or anything. Well, I figured that was it.

But instead, I got a call. Yup. A call from 231-730-3622. That look familiar to anyone? It's just, the area code is in Michigan, namely a group of cities. Among them is Big Rapids. That's just a bit too coincidental to me.

So when I finally stopped rejecting this guy's calls, I answered. He said "I received a call from this number." and I asked him who I was speaking to.

He said "My name is Dan." So, I hung up.

But when he called me back again, he still seemed unusually calm for somebody who'd been disturbed in the middle of the day. I asked him where he was calling from. "Iowa, Cedar Rapids."

I told him I had to call him back because I had yard work to do, but I really just didn't know what to say. I figured if this might be the next opening in the game, I might need to ask you guys what I should do before just talking straight nonsense to some guy like Dan Bullerman.

If this has already taken place, let me know, because I don't wanna be a nuisance. I just figured I'd stumbled upon something nobody else thought of.

I received calls from that phone a LONG time ago. I totally forgot about it. But before he texted me saying it was Dan's brother. We texted for a while, but I changed phone numbers. I'll try calling it from my home phone.

I tried calling back about ten times and he never picked up. Oh well, maybe it was just a one time thing. You have any luck, Natas?

update from nuisance

Dan just sent me a text.

"I found your little misc secret. Phone number is changing. Do not call. I will update you once I find your true misc mistake."

I have no idea what he's talking about but it appears he's changing his cell number. Did anybody else get this text?

EDIT: I saw something sort of interesting while searching for "Daniel Bullerman" on google. It was apparently posted at 4:39 pm on a federal spendings website:

http://www.fedspending.org/faads/faads.php?recip_id=987586&detail=-1

I'm no expert on money whatsoever, so I haven't got a clue what the site is all about. It might be a coincidence and be completely OOG, but it's worth a look.

I wonder if the PM's name is really Dan and he didn't know who you were either and now he doesn't want you to call anymore because it's not a planned part of the game. Who knows.

Went back and had a look at the image that was on play.htm. We were way overthinking it. The clue was simply hidden in the file information - although in my defense I had used an EXIF viewer in Firefox on the image and for whatever reason it came up with nothing. Simply download the image and right click to look at file properties and the info was right there.

OK, enough reminiscing, back to the game at hand.

Oh, and can somebody please do something about the ginormous page stretching avatar?

Yeah, I noticed it was about 4k bigger, which may not be fully accounted for by the info added, but I didn't check any further yet.

As for play.htm, I am assuming the PM updated the page in Word and didn't clean out all of the extra garbage it sticks into the file.

I deleted my previous post, because last time the pm's freaked out on us and almost quit.

You might wanna check all your pages, PM and delete any personal info you don't want found.
