[Trailhead] Jimmy Hutmaker

Well, I checked my email this morning, and had 2 emails from a "Jimmy Hutmaker" from the email standin.in.lineSPLATgmail.com

Help

I'm on the run, I think I may have killed Mr. Jimmy

Sometimes, I just can't get what I want

I don't know if I killed him, I don't remember much, sometimes there are spots where I see things that may have happened in the past. But I don't remember them.

What happened is a mystery, we were talking and I blanked out, woke up and he was on the floor and I feared the worst. So I ran

You "think" you might have killed him? What happened? You need any help or anything?

And if you don't get what you want, chances are you'll get what you need instead.


Well, I checked my mail a while ago again, and he'd mailed me back, this time with:

I just found this in his sent box

I have absolutely no clue what it means, maybe you do?

I searched the forum and there was nothing about him, so I take it this is a new game then.

Heh, I spent about 10 minutes writing this up as well. I must have just started a little earlier than you. Ah well, doesn't really matter.
I'll try sending an email off then, see what comes back.

Nah, doesn't matter. I shoulda known that email was going to prompt us both to go "Ok, this is actually something." Smile

Ok you email Jimmy's son. I might email our faux Mr Jimmy...

It's probably a code--I will look into it with my Internet posse, we like mysteries.

In the meantime, try to remember how you were connected to Mr Jimmy. Do you live in Excelsior? Maybe Mr. Jimmy has family and you knew his kid or walked his dog or something?

Any idea how long you've been on the run?

I dunno if it would be bad to give him the information or not, so until we hear back from Mr. Jimmy's son I figured I'd stay quiet about it. Also, Wikipedia says Mr Jimmy died in October so I am trying to get a sense of whether time is a factor here... I am really hoping for no damn time traveling nonsense!

But time travel is great Very Happy
Still, it's probably just set in the past.
Anyway, I'd say it'd be best just to keep quiet about it until we get a reply from the son.

[quote="the_velociraptor"]The thing that Jimmy's killer was sent may be Hex or some sort of number based code.. Someone decode?[/quote

It's already been decoded, Lunsford posted it above.

Also, my response from faux Jimmy:

Quote:
I dont think I ever "knew" Mr. Jimmy

Around last october, is when I lose my memory, I think something may have happend to me.


So the timeline is current; Mr. Jimmy died in October 07, both IG and OOG.

Hmm. I am feeling at a loss for where to move this game. faux Jimmy is not super communicative... which gives me the idea I am totally asking wrong questions/focused on wrong aspect. Meh...

For giggles, I emailed the faux Jimmy and said his son would like to meet him over some Cherry Coke.

I got a response from this:

Oooooh.....That would be splendin. Hopefully they get my order right this time

This promted me to email his son, to which I also recieved a response.

I thought my father was dead.........although, no body was ever found

I enjoyed some Lulz. Thoughts on which direction I should go from here on out?
