[TRAILHEAD?]Have We Met Before?
Strange voicemail lead to a youtube...

Okay, so. I got a voicemail from a restricted number. On this voicemail, a girl (or at least a girl's voice) relayed this message: "Hi Esteed, have we met before? Maybe on Youtube. I keep having weird things sent to my gmail account. Do you know what that's about?"

This lead me to search for "weird things sent to gmail" and scored one hit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK79TLj0VTc

This user has two other videos as well. All three of these videos were added recently. I sent the account a message saying this:

Esteed wrote:
Have we met before? Perhaps, perhaps. Jury is still out on that one, but I got your message. Interesting videos.

So, would you like to "cut the small talk and get to something more interesting?" I'm more than willing to get to the nitty gritty. I have my suspicions about what I should be asking...but I suppose I'm not entirely sure, yet. Obviously you aren't going to tell me your secret...but perhaps a little hint?


I got a reply pretty quickly:

I reversed the audio on the first video if anyone wants to have a listen.

You know, I just got an email a few minutes ago myself from threeseven2008SPLATgmail.com

Not the same as Esteed got, but here it is:

Okay, I've traded youtube messages and emails with her a bit, and so has someone else, and I've come up with a few possibilities.

In a youtube message to me, she referenced the old DailyMurder ARG. At least I think she did. One of the characters in that ARG was a little off-the-wall and loved red ice cream. We felt pretty sure she was a vampire and that the red ice cream was blood ice cream.

In a message to uberg33k, she referenced something I was told by Eris in an ARG with very heavy Discordian themes. I can't quite remember the name of it, however her being Eris seems in doubt because she does not seem to claim godhood.

So. To summarize.

I have no idea what is going on here.

Yep, I got a call while I was in class, so I got a strange voicemail asking if we had met, along with a long string of words. I know one was "trinstod" and another was "cloverfield." I'll search it when I'm back home.

My Lord. It's like that site was created from my nightmares... the only things I fear are heights and weird basic pixellated imagery I don't understand. This stems from childhood encounters with my Amstrad CPC 464. But... what the heck is that, honestly? *shudders*

This seems really interesting, even if I'm not invited to the party directly. The videos were a bit disturbing to me as well, even though they weren't scary necessarily. By the way, in one video the word ré::sidúe kept popping up. Mean anything to anyone? Or just randomness?

I just watched some of the videos, the last one to be added had a quote from a newspaper report about a man who got a $10,000 check from a random person (http://charleshamel.com/2008/02/20/giving-away-a-blank-check/), and had a Java debugging report open (but I couldn't read the website that well).

I'm trading emails with her now. Once I can make heads or tails of this, I'll post them.

EDIT: I know I said I wouldn't post them until I made heads or tails of this, but we have a code now.

I'm trying various decryption methods but am returning no results. Anybody else?

Oh ho ho, two can play this game. Let's see how she likes my invisible binary.

EDIT: Oh, and I get what's going on now. Sort of. I'll explain in a minute.

Here's what this is all about: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=21563&highlight=dailymurder

It was an ARG. A group of people solved mysterious murders. There's more to it than that, but way too much for me to explain in one summary. I suck at summaries. You can get everything you need from that thread.
