So what's going on here? Did we break the game? Has everyone given up in disgust that we can't solve this stupid safeget key? Did Chorazos finally drag Peter away as a human sacrifice? Last time I checked the eclipse was still fast approaching. A little meta/Meta-communication would be nice.

Left a CL from Sharp Teeth, and all I got was a link to date Alyssa.

Heh, I'm sure it's just Dreamhost or whatever, but right now I can't even get to SO.

Hehe. Nice parody, johnny5. It works when sung aloud, which is always a sign of craft.

Don't have enough free time at the moment to dedicate to solving ciphers that apparently either require PM help or iterating through all possibilities. (Oh, insane guy who uses ciphers as an intelligence test, I thought I would never see it in this game). Honestly, I'm still not entirely sure of the ingame reason why the photographer (?) is helping random mules break his ciphers on safeget. Or how chorazos expected its inductees to have a prerelease copy of Sharp Teeth.

So what do we have to do at the moment?
* Leak info to Peter to get more pages of his executive summary. Maybe a writeup on what we know about MLM's structure would help?
* Solve that Chinese (?) 22-character cipher.
* Make our own ciphers to act as usernames on safeget.
* Give emotional support to sploit with his mapping, maybe warn him of the danger of leaving that satellite photo up.
* Help Howard get his groove back.
* Figure out the logistics of that coming ritual.

Not as good as j5's, but I've been humming this all day without realizing it until now.

Oh where, oh where have our PMs gone?
Oh where, oh where can they be?
With our keys all stuck and our nerves all worn
oh where, oh where can they be?

At this point I'm pretty sure we actually never were supposed to stop the ritual. But we'll see...

[WolfHawk]

I'm thinking it's going to happen at the Forsythe conference in Arkham. We may not hear from Peter again. How appropriate for the beings behind this to bust up a conference concerning threat management.

This doesn't seem like the PMs to completely cut off all contact like this on multiple threads with all the buildup to tonight. Hopefully nothing bad has happened on a meta level (rocket launcher wielding researchers as neighbors would freak me out), or that they're not in panic story rewrite mode not having thought of what would happen if we didn't solve the MLM puzzles fast enough. Or that the scenario we triggered resulted in the death of all major players without anyone on our side to tell us what happened.

I was worried about the same, Noyb. I remember one ARG that kind of died because the PM was in the hospital -- damn, I forget the name. And with no activity as of this morning; well, I just don't know what to do.
