Oh, I fully get that. I mean to say that I don't get why we can't have a straight answer. Or why we keep getting non-answers instead of none at all.

It's all so confusing! Very Happy

Posted yesterday on the Youtube comments.
Does this mean they want to carry on but got stuck due to circumstances?

I hope so (and I also hope I'm not beating a decaying horse here...) Shifty Eyes

I'd certainly like to think so. Given the amount of effort shown by the PMs as recently as mid-January, it seems unlikely that they'd give up due to simple boredom. There must be something else preventing them from continuing, and whatever it is hopefully it'll be cleared up soon.

I wish they'd make it a little more explicit though. Something like "Due to the recent outbreak of bad luck within Milwaukee, the MTC has imposed a ban on outside communications from the city. The ban is expected to be lifted [date]. Thank you for understanding." would explain it in-game. A little cheesy perhaps but better than silence.

 		out of minutes
Just tried 414-688-7035 and got an error "PPS 6180" from the phone system. Apparently this means that it's a prepaid cell and it's out of minutes.

I hope that's not why they stopped the ARG! Smile

 		For what it's worth, the TIMM Youtube account posted a comment on the main video less than 24 hours ago. Nothing game-related or interesting, but at least shows that the PMs are keeping that account active.

 		Remember when we were all obsessively searching for anything even remotely related to any company named Blackstar? And then we found someone on LinkedIn named Yachi Yachi who worked for Blackstar Global Corp?

Well, I friended them even though I wasn't sure whether or not they were in game, at the risk of revealing all my personal information to a stranger who was potentially a real person who would think I was insane.

The invitation was pending until just today (at 11:56 AM CST, to be precise) when they accepted!

So, possibly this is a real person, or an in-game one. But it's a funny coincidence that two accounts were updated on the same day after months of radio silence, no?


Here's the info:

YACHI YACHI
CEO at BLACKSTAR GLOBAL CORP
Location
Greater New York City Area
Industry
Entertainment

Currently holds this position

And their email: BLACKSTARGLOBALCORPSPLATGMAIL.COM

For anyone too lazy to check, the comment was,
Quote:
Thank you for your kind words, Jujged.


Am I blind or aren't there any comments whatsoever by someone called Jujged (or anything similar that might have been mistyped)?

Also, regarding lhall's new contact on LinkedIn: If you do a search for "Blackstar Global" on Facebook, you get a Keith Yachi Pearson who seems to be the same person. Seems to have no friends listed, although I don't know if this might be due to privacy settings. My tentative vote is he's OOG.

I couldn't find anything by a name similar to Jujged either- a Google search reveals nothing, and searching on the YouTube search feature- nothing.

 		http://www.youtube.com/Jujged reveals that there is a YouTube account by that name, but it got suspended for some reason. I'm pretty sure that video comments from suspended accounts don't just get deleted though, so that leaves the question of exactly what/whom TIMM is responding to. Confused

In any case, it's good to know there's still someone behind the wheel of this thing, even if it's run out of gas for the time being Smile[/url]

Oh, how I wish there were something there, but there isn't. I saw the Jujged comment TIMM was referring to, it was just generic porn spam, webcam sluts or whatever. The TIMM account was just being funny or ironic by replying to an obvious spam as though it were sincere and heartfelt. Still shows the whole thing isn't utterly abandoned, though.

*sigh* Confused
Come on, give those guys a bit of funding so they can carry on! We'd even work for Blackstar! Wink

 		Uhm. Minimalist news from the ARG that wouldn't die.

New comments on YT:

You are welcome! Remember: it may be hard work now, but it promises a Blackstar tomorrow!


??? The blackstar hiring scheme starting up? Or what?

 		The saddest part about that last YT comment is that I'm not even excited there was a comment. Sad

Oh cool dog, why hast thou forsaken us?
