I'm sorry, but this is a pet peeve of mine (I should point out that LJ entries can easily be backdated). It takes all of 5 minutes to create a shell LJ account for the purpose of planting a trail head. Plan ahead, don't leave me scratching my head, trying to guess what's in and out of game. *sinks back into idleness*


Truedat, but you can't backdate journal creation. Date created: 2005-03-09 16:22:32 is not data that can be altered, AFAIK.

Ok, last theory for the night:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Maybe the security failure he mentions in this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kulNkSSYVgs) is how he stumbles across the item I will refer to as the 'breaking point,' that makes him snap and call Karen.


Ideas?

I'd love to follow this it seems interesting. But, could someone maybe put all the info we have as in starting point (is it the aftermath vids? The blog?) in order of following at all?

Or is everyone as clueless as me, in that respect?

We're all pretty clueless, Leyton. A lot of this is just speculation, so far.

From DJGrande's Youtube, found this user. Looks like the same videos from the Aftermath site, but a bit easier to watch Surprised)

The replies on the site seem to be from legitimate users though, unless this really has been in development for over two years :p

Ok, made an Aftermath account and seeing if someone could tell me what the contents of the voice mail are. I don't know if it's going to help at all, but I want to know what's going on.

First: The trail so far:

http://www.adoptaspacemonkey.com/

The trail starts. A few cryptic riddle-messages later, we find ourselves at a page with an e-mail and a web address where I suspect the main action point is:

[url]aftermath08.com[/url]

There's some to-do over a missing girl named Karen, and mentions of a David (funny, that name matches the e-mail!). A video-blog and voice message that David left are mentioned. Videoblogs can be accessed on Youtube: He's under djgrande2008, but the two newest ones are (I suspect) the important ones.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=T3f1CBdxiIE
http://youtube.com/watch?v=kulNkSSYVgs

I suspect that he goes through with his security downing plan and stumbles on something really twisted.

And on the forums, his original phone message is now posted.

http://aftermath08.com/media/phone.mp3

So anyone got any ideas here?

I have no sound....

So can someone provide the transcripts of all the movies so far? I would love to participate in this, but I have a horrible feeling it's going to be Youtube based....

BTW - we traditionally save the spoiler tag to hide a puzzle solve.

All other information should just be openly shared (which is the purpose of unFiction - to share info, found websites, etc).

Yeah, concerning the message, I managed to pick out 'Karen' once or twice, and a general sense of urgency. The Mike character on the Aftermath forums that recorded it said that he did it on his phone speakers, so unless someone wants to call the number on the Aftermath website, that's all we have to work with.

This is what I got from http://aftermath08.com/media/phone.mp3 . I know it's filled with holes, but I hope it helps~

*something*= can't understand
[words]= I think this is it, but not sure

*something something* your phone. See, there is this big *something-cy*, okay? I'm not sure how they found out, but Karen, don't got much time. I need you to [pack your bags] and you need to get out, okay? Get out. Fast. I made a really big mistake and mentioned your name on my blog. I don't know if they've seen it, but I can't *something something something* it, so... I'm really, really sorry. So... If someone *something something [ask] something* please contact her at [oshlash/ oshlass/ ashlass] 08 ( 'oh eight') dot com. That's aftermath08.com. It's really important that she gets this message... BEEP BEEP (Female voice) When you've finished recording, just hang up. Or, if you want to re-record your message, press the hash key.

well you seem to have gotten most of the message but i'll try and help fill in the *something* bits. that dude doesn't even have a strong accent. now i know why the use bad fake irish accents on US tv.

why wont you answer your phone if you're listening to this they got to me. i'm not sure how they found out, but karen, i don't have much time. i need you to pack your bags and i need you to get out okay? get out. fast. i made a really big mistake and mentioned your name on my blog. i dont know if they've seen it but i can't be sure if they haven't so... i'm really really sorry. if someone else is listening to this please contact Karen at aftermath08.com, that's aftermath08.com. it's really important that she gets this message. *then the female voice phone company stuff*

that last bit is just standard phone company stuff so my guess is it's not important but you never know i guess
