Ohh... heh heh... Embarassed

I dunno... I really have to doubt that this is genuine. Whether it is a game or not, I have a hard time believing that someone who is an actual mental patient, and who is obviously as disturbed as this, would be allowed computer access, let alone be allowed to create and post a blog with content like this. Maybe it is a game and maybe it is just some weird kid's Creative Writing homework, but I can't see this being for real. I think we should at least keep an eye on it to see if it starts to look ARGish, because it might turn out to be interesting if it is.

Normally, with something as frightening/disturbing as this they would have some kind of disclaimer. - As someone mentioned to me yesterday it's probably some "4Chan" member, releasing their sick fantasies and trolling the ARG community.

I guess so. I mean, if it was 4chan, it would probably be more like "MY ROFL COPTER GOES SOY SOY SOY!!1!11 LOLCATS1!1!!", but it probably isn't an ARG. I think it was just so weird that I figured it couldn't be real, like it was supposed to be so shocking that we ARGers would be compelled to try to contact him, setting the game into motion. If the news has taught me anything, though, it is that the internet is full of weirdos...

 		Too true. But you've got to applaud the guy for the e-mails.

I am currently in the Ancora Asylum in Ancora, New Jersey. It's a place that I'll probably never leave for the rest of my life, because if I ever left, a transparent hand would guide mine toward the knife.

* Who? An asylum for the clinically insane.
* What? Right now.
* Where? Me, Skip Headington, giver of sacred gifts and bearer of the fruits from the tree that makes us wet ourselves.
* When? Because one day someone caught me playing and talking to friends that apparently weren't really there.
* Why? I have no idea, either.

I am the king and the peasant. I am the keeper of the end. Within me, lies the secrets of lands you only dream of every so often. And yet I am also a prisoner, in my mind, and in this place.

Try and piece us all together, and well...your mind will melt from the sheer occurrence.

Wisp whirl! Red chocolate will bring about the demise of fairytales. Twenty-two.


While some of his responses are just weird/disturbing, some (above, especially the bold) seem rather clue-ish, don't they?

 		Is it a phrase in a book? Or something of that nature? That would explain how wide spread it is.

 		I could've sworn there was another ARG involving those... I mean, that's where I got that link.

 		I have decided to ask how many friends skip has. If he says 537 or 8 ... well, I guess we're in the deep business.

I would like to add that I'm on 19... And everything is ruined forever.
