Ok so... I've been following along and yeah I know it has been mentioned once or twice before but has anyone actually followed through w/ this from Craigslist?

Tell me, what do you think of music? For research purposes...

I did, got the email address (societyofmusicSPLATgmail.com) and passed it to Simone, which I -guess- was all we were supposed to do?

Hey all...I'm not playing... just watching Razz But I think Leyton has a point.That kind of sounds like the Society is pretty much asking for people to answer their question and give feedback...[/i]

Yeah, I DID, I sent them an email through craigslist and got their REAL email address (listed above) ... where's my troutstick when I need it ... Wink

I'm with the previous poster who said, "I'm really hoping for some content beyond music puzzles." The initial character development of Simone was interesting, but there's only so many music riddles I can stand. =[

Are there any other possibilities for the Bangladesh song? It's allegedly our last music clue.

I'm not sure how you can say either (a) we didn't follow it up or (b) we aren't creative. This is the order of events that led to the email:

1) we receive an anonymous email intended for Simone pointing to CLST ATL
2) we find the listing in Craigslist and email the owner of the listing
3) we get a response with a gmail address

... the next logical thing is to provide that email address to Simone. So we did. The email response from the gmail address does not give any indication there should be further contact, does not ask questions to be replied to ... merely says "thanks for adding to my research" and goes about its way.

Sorry to sound confrontational but I've spent the last week playing bulletin board Mafia games and "failed logic" posts like this just irk me.

ETA: I'm fairly sure of two things now. One, "shellwubsmatt" on the AD boards is in-game (she consistently gets REALLY close to answers but just misses) and two, the answer for Eight is

New blog post from the VLN
Quote:
Well, it looks like the dog-talker has finally gone too far. This past weekend I received word that our dear friend who likes to fancy herself an assassin had planned to back out on the deal which we had agreed upon. I found out that she was very close to procuring the item which I had charged her with finding but she was going to use it for her own means. I couldn't allow this to happen so I did exactly what I had previously inferred I would do. I released the hounds. More specifically, I released Lycea. For those of you who are unaware, Lycea is what the scientific community would call a lycanthrope.

I had Lycea tracking that little girl for quite some time – in fact, that's who told me about the planned betrayal – and I found out when the girl was going to get the talisman in question and I had the Lycea take it. I won't go into all of the glorious details concerning how the girl was 'taken care of' but, suffice it to say, I've been informed that she "won't be a problem anymore". I need not tell you just how excited this makes me. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's people trying to pull one over on me. And, if there's one thing I LOVE, it's pulling one over on a person who is intending on pulling one over on me.

My only regret is that she isn't around anymore. If she were still with us I would be able to proverbially rub in her face that I now have the artifact, and that I now am in the society which I can only assume she was working toward getting into.

Here's to my genius. This drink's on you, imbecile!


And re: the Craigslist email, once we sent a message to that address, and got the response we did, I figured it was done. Like Massive said -- no indication at all that there was any more follow-up that needed to be done. Just a "Thanks for your email, interesting thought" kind of thing. If they were looking for a specific answer, I'd have thought we'd have been led in that direction, because nothing else in the game seems to be leading that way. If Smithfield is the PM trying to drag us along (which I suspect), then I'd have appreciated a bit more of an answer from the Craigslist contact than we got.

sorry, guys - can't sign in at work. meh.
stupid firewalls!

FYI - Smithfield is not the pm.

Just wanted to set the record straight. I know the pm and she would absolutely not break the rules like that, even though her game is close to blowing up in her face.

(Very sorry if this is against the rules, since I know her and all - I just thought it quite unfair to let this go and give the players the impression that the pm would do something like that.)

I got an email today -- thought it was a trailhead at first, but after looking it over closely, I realized it was for this game (that and the only way someone could have gotten that email address was off the Assassin Diaries site).

It was sent from a TMobile cell phone registered in Houston, TX.

The image is all that was included in the email. What I THOUGHT said "4K lost" is obviously L/K lost (Lady/Killer). Looks like VLN has our girl, and I got my 'more plot'.

{ETA}I just called the phone number, got no answer. Just a generic "Leave your message for ..." thing. The number is 832-876-9621, and the return email address is 18328769621SPLATtmomail.com.

sorry for the double post -- wanted to bump this.

Just got a text message in reply to my phone call (stupid battery went dead before I could leave a message)

Quote:

who? called. cant answer. Phone dying. text limited. Can send som?


Replied "Got your message. We are trying to help."

{ETA}AND I'm an idiot. Was assuming SOM was short for some. It's the Society of Music acronym. I'm sending the email now.

Just got this photo from a mutual friend. Sounds like she's in trouble, and asked me to email you (SOM friend) for help. Her cell phone is going out, but the number is 1-832-876-9621.

Let me know how I can help you guys out.

Yay, more story! I'm glad it hasn't imploded. I wonder if L/K got away though.

The only concern I have is that it seems like the VLN has joined the Society (from his blog post). I'm hoping the SOM email isn't compromised.

Hi all! It's been a while since I've done an arg, but this is looking so fun I've decided to jump in with both feet!

I called the cell number and got the same text as wkelly42 later this morning as a response. I sent back my name and that I'm trying to get ahold of SoM.

Sent a message to societyofmusic, a pretty sedate one though, but no response yet. Anyone think it's important that the word friend in the picture is in all caps like SOM?

Anyway, I'll keep up with what contact I get.
