New "Jericho" ARG ? -Aug 31, 2008
Thomas Rhymer's Site

While doing an advanced search on ARG for the past 24 hours, I came across a link to UniversalHD Message Boards > Jericho.
It seems that some members of the Jericho CBS board have been getting emails from Arrow_keeper and Dos Hombre which lead them to this site.
http://asacdc.synthasite.com/index.php

The fine folks there decoded the Morse code which leads further down the rabbit hole. (?)

http://operationrosebud.synthasite.com/index.php

Reading the Universal thread; the site has been updated a couple of times.

The second image gives "the login is "Adesartwide", the password is what is behind." I'm guessing the password is something hidden within the image under the text. (You can faintly see "MONTANA" in the upper right hand corner.)

Happy hunting, Rangers!

The main site has two pictures. The first being a map with this url:

http://asacdc.synthasite.com/resources/ASA-conic2.jpg

change the 2 to a 1 and you get a whole new map. That's all I got to say about that.

The same can be done with the poem except you remove the number 1 altogether. I don't notice any differences. yet.

EDIT: the wording is exactly the same, but the background color changes slightly. hmm....

a link from mary's website:

turtletrack.org/issues01/Co11032001/CO_11032001_Cheyenne_Language.htm
(or just type Canku Ota Cheyenne Language Survives)

I wonder if we need to pay attention to that language for the future...

EDIT:

Sent a email off to charlie requesting a catalog. here's the reply...

Quote:
Howdy!

Wish I could send you a catalogue but two fellas come in and cleaned me out. Bought everything I had, paid cash, too! Then they even bought my truck to move it!
Strange couple of fellas. One said his name was Rhymer, as in "rhymerreason". then the other fella said his name was PW "amherst"--then they both laughed like it was some kinda joke. Seemed like they were city fellas to me but I can't argue with cash--paid in Allied States dollars (did you know Tomarchio is on the $100 bill?)
Me, I'm packing up and heading towards Cheyenne. Maybe I'll open up again there.
Well, thanks for looking anyhow.
Take care.
Charlie.


EDIT:

that led me to the loging pw to the "Pitt Solution"

http://asacdc.synthasite.com/pitt-solution.php

login: rhymerreason
pw: amherst

NEW STUFF!!!!

Got same email. Seems like it leads to more backstory and not much more.

http://johnteasdale.myblogsite.com/ has more updates. John is sorrounded by men in trucks. He's begging for some human interaction. Posted a comment on his latest blog entry.

Hi. I'm new to any type of ARG and don't know etiquette or anything else so please bear with me. But I got sucked into this game, and I'm just wondering if someone should warn Teasdale about the infected blankets that are going to be sent from Rhymer to Mary in Lame Deer. Thoughts?

Welcome JFiend. That was a great observation you made.

Unfortunately all we have for Mary is a PO box which may or may not exist.

I did however post a warning to Teasdale that the men in the canyon entrance may come offering gifts and not to trust them.

Hi Vapor. Thanks for the Welcome. I saw your post there. Thanks I was too timid to reply first. But we do have a location for Mary, she's at the Casino, room 11! (it was in her News link)

Hey, been lurking around here a while looking for a new rabbit-hole to jump down, and be in on it from the near start, looks like this one might be kinda interesting.

I played last ARG - and a Jericho fan playing at UNiversal and CBS message boards. But nowhere as good at it as you guys are. They made the blog interactive so I interacted!

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?

Why would a loyal ASA exec start these sites and put that damning official letter out for the world to see? I think they are fleeing and operation rosebud could be ASA trying and detain these two.....

The HRV is moving South and South west all on its own already.
