 		I did not play the first Jericho ARG, so pardon me if this is way off base but...

On Rhymer and Amherst - They created this plan of infecting their own population. Would they be the ones assigned to spread infected blankets to the Indians? Or are they turning on ASA and trying to get out with the truth?


Well technically, the only mention of infected blankets was that the codename Pitt Solution "comes from the use of smallpox-infected blankets which were delivered to Native Americans at Fort Pitt, as suggested by Lord Jeffery Amherst, during the French and Indian War thus reducing the threat of Indian uprisings during a time of crisis."

Pitt Solution actually seems to be a program to help the public cope with the current plague conditions due to the deliberate use of biological weapons.

The fact that these two guys bought up all of Charlie O's blankets is either (A)coincidental or (B)their intentions are not yet known.

 		It seems to me that since Rhymer was the author of the Pitt Solution document and from the ASACDC, and that document says the "CDC has developed a strategic plan for the deliberate dissemination of biological or chemical agents". I cannot see any other reason for them buying up the blankets and cloth from Charlie's. (Really, really hope I'm right.) I suppose they could be trying to break from the ASA, but they didn't really leak the info, we heard about the site for operation rosebud through the morse code on the Rhymer site, got to the login and PW for Operation rosebud from the Rhymer site, and got to the Pitt solution from random mutterings made by Rhymer and "Amherst" in front of Charlie. Could they have known Charlie would email that information out to people upon their inquiry for a catalogue?

Also think the virus is not only moving south and southwest, it's moved to Nevada and Idaho and Wyoming since the first map came out. It's heading towards western Montana...

Just thinking out loud...

You guys beat me to it - Blog updated - message at 9:00

Arrow keeper and Dos Hombre ahave started posting clues at UHD board - of late

JS2? Is that a save Jericho site? Or a ruse - that will lead to believe if message is on UHD - That ASA blocked it at JS2?

methinks JS2 = Jericho Season 2. There is a discussion Here and I believe that is what JS2 refers to.

Welp, it was short lived but interesting while it lasted. Thanks for the little diversion, Dave. Hope we see more.

* Arrow_Keeper

Va'ohtama, Welcome!

I am the Arrow Keeper. The Charlie O truck was located on a back road heading toward the Rez. Dog Soldiers ambushed the truck and a fight ensued. Three men in the truck were killed while we lost two in the fight. The men are believed to be military judging from tatoos we found on the bodies. The truck was then burned. Our soldiers will remain outside the Rez until we are certain they are not contaminated.

Mary Tame Horse was arrested but judged not to have been a conspirator. We believe she really did have Her people in her heart and was only trying to help, but her desire to keep her business going is troubling in the face of the current crisis. We have taken her computer from her and closed her business. She will have no further unauthorized contact with the outside world and her sentence is to turn her energies to continue helping her people here on the Rez.

You have done my people and all Native people a great service for warning us of this danger. For this we are forever grateful.

I will answer no questions at this time but in a few minutes you will learn more..

Again,

thank you--Arrow Keeper

From Dave22156
Hello all!

I'm Dave and I designed the ARG game.

Why did I do it?

First, I wanted to give something back to the Jericho community that has fought so hard for our beloved show. You've all gone so far above and beyond that it truly has amazed me! I thought perhaps a little diversion would be fun for all and I have been truly humbled and happy that you enjoyed the game. I didn't design it to be very long as I know there is still a lot of important work to be done to get our show a home and back on the air.

Second, I like many of you were dissappointed when the Tooman ARG stopped cold with the cancellation of Jericho the second time. I kept thinking what directions it could have gone, and what would be the response of the Native Americans (a very patriotic people) in the face of a country that usurps the nation they have come to love and served so well in combat. I remembered a yu-tube (don't know if the boards are still blocking the name) where Indians attacked an ASA convoy and thought why not run with that? Above all, I wanted the game to have a good story line--especially as I am not very computer savvy.

How I did it?

With absolutely no money and my little Dell laptop. I thought why should all the big businesses have all the fun? So I used free websites and a free blog and went from there.

I really hope you enjoyed it all but I have to get back to my writing. I'm finishing up one non-fiction book and two fiction one waiting in the wings.
