I think this might be the final clue as to why everything fell apart. The knife that girl is holding looks like the forgotten weapon and the treasure hunter did hold up a crystal. Perhaps this was a viral marketing campaign for this game and then when the game didn't get developed they just stopped with the ARG

Please excuse me for any excessive postings on here, but this is just too bizarre.

i somehow came across a pdf of the Instruction Manual for The Crystal Wars Game....

It was a complete fluke....

In the PDF instructions for Crystal Wars, there is a story enveloping the actual instructions for the game itself. In the INTRODUCTION and the EPILOGUE (respectively at the beginning and the end of the instructions), there are references to Rebels, the energy of crystals, crystals being buried in the sand, a certain "crooked" knife (like the FORGOTTEN WEAPON), crystal hunters, and references to a certain "employer' (BLACKSTAR????). The game is very buggy, and seems to run similar to the WOW engine; But The instructions are VERY elaborate and deep.

There are references in this pdf file that could easily point to both TIMM and Hoopeston. It seems obvious here that crystal wars is connected to TIMM, but Crystal Wars was started in 2006, and had a release date of 2007, at least a full year BEFORE TIMM really got rolling.

If someone can advise me where I should post the Crystal Wars PDF, I will do so. Should I start a new Thread or post it here?

Worst Case scenario, this can bring some closure to the entire thing, if in fact TIMM was a viral campaign for crystal wars.

THANKS.

Chuck Jagoda: plantin' family trees -- LIKE A BAWSS.

This is just something I found by clicking through to Chuck Jagoda's flickr from his comment on the Reasonable Haven flickr. Gotta be OOG, but I was amused.

"It's not that simple. You know how trees lose their leaves in Winter? Well, those leaves regrow in the Spring, and I fear the seasons may be changing."

Here is wishful thinking that something may happen this Spring.
A full year is about to round about us on the last activity we saw on this.
After all, Chuck's last tweet was in March, month of the Vernal Equinox.

My guess is that the Crystal Wars stuff was an inspiration. I mean, what better to use than a game that isn't going to exist? Sadly, I don't believe that the mysteries of TiMM will ever be solved ...
