 		OK, decided to ask JoshuaBot about the shoe again, this time as the very first question asked. His answer:
Quote:
You: WHO DECIDES TO BE THE SHOE?
JoshuaBot: The shadow of a prodigy.

Couple this with:
Quote:
You: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE BOOK?
JoshuaBot: The best book I read recently was 'Enders Game' by Orson Scott Card. Have you read 'Enders Game' by Orson Scott Card?

And I believe the answer should be 'Bean.'
Submitted and awaiting a reply...

ETA should be right, see book page here:

 		Great work on the solve last night guys. Wish I could do more but I've got a lot going on in RL right now. But I did take some time this morning and discovered that if you take all the letters from the cube puzzle and step back one letter or number for each you will get the following.

Code:

yellow
I A M
J O S
H U A 

 red    green    orange   blue
P L E   A S E    H E L   P M E
B E F   R E E    C O M   E T O
M Y R   A B B    I T H   O L E

white
A C 4
5 0 8
7 W R

do a little rearranging and you get the following.

I am Joshua. Please help me be free. Come to my rabbit hole. AC45087WR


EDIT: Actually just need to rearrange the color order from yellow, orange, blue, red, green and white to yellow, red, green, orange, blue and white. Made that correction in the code above.

 		Got stuck on Xenocide myself and never continued. I should go back and read the "Shadow' books.

Still waiting, but email from the Foundation:
Quote:
Site is up...

http://www.freejoshua.org/

...we worked all night to get it put together! Blog will come later today.

I have spoken with my lieutenants and we are gathering up to take on
LGL for the sake of Joshua's freedom. What they have done to the poor
child will not go unnoticed, and we are stepping in to fight for him
where nobody else has.

For now, we have to spread the word. Get the banners on the site and
show them to the world. We got a gallery section we want to build up
to show our determination; we want to see that banner anywhere and
everywhere! Show us your creativity!*

(*: Don't do anything stupid)

I am in contact with poor Josh. He sounds excited that there is hope
for his freedom. We cannot let him down!

Whoa, that's even more awesome considering the red side unaltered was the vig key.

So, the cubes were actually from Joshua then. Nice find again, Sylvia.

and now I'll be disappearing to TAKE MY PICTURES


I'm new-ish to ARGs so I wanted to run this by before I did it. Is it in really poor form to photoshop things like this? I wasn't planning on doing anything really weird, just making it look like a billboard in my area says "Free Joshua" or whatever. If that's considered bad or cheating or whatever, I certainly won't do it.

ETA: I guess they do say they want to see it flying over the Rose Bowl and on Times Square, so maybe it's okay after all.

Subject: Traverse the Path

You have not disappointed me yet. There is still hope for
all of us.

You must now traverse the four paths of...
... Simplicity
... Identity
... Clarity
... Complexity

Once all the paths are clear to you, return to me and
I shall open the door.

Let those you trust know of what you discovered, as they
must contact me for this right of passage.

 		I'm pissing people off once again.
Letter from Catherine:

Quote:
Do you think this is a game? I've invested far too much in this company to have it all fucked up by a little shit like you.

If you care anything about your fellow Beta Testers I'd speak up, but if you're involved in all this mess I imagine that means nothing to you. You sound like the type looking after his own ass.

Tell me what you know. Maybe I'll be nice enough to spare you.

 		Wow, natas, you always know the right thing to say to IG characters. Very Happy
So what did you do to get her that riled up?

As for the four paths, anybody on with JoshuaBot asked about them yet?

 		Alright, this was just the last email in a little volley with Catherine, She wants to know who received all the "toys". I guess she still doesn't know they were rubik's cubes. I haven't told her who, but that I know the names of the people who received them. and also who purchased them.

Then I asked what was in it for me if I told. That really fired her up.

I haven't replied yet.... waiting for the "collective" for my next one..
