well maybe its a virus that has been released, from the flash drive, something that will cause y2k like events, so he/she/it sees it as a god

SOCIAL MEDIUMS

so the new blog page gives us this title and then FBWMT

we already know that the F = facebook (link is working)
presumably the other letters also suggest a page or site for us to find, all connected to a social medium type site

B = blogger/blogspot/bebo?
W = wiki..?
M = myspace?
T = twitter?

a search on myspace for the MMMF gmail address and yahoo address gave nothing (although carbonblack@gmail does give us a Myspace account for Mark, 22, Colorado Springs, Denver, last accessed April 2008 - which I think confirms that that addy is OOG? Smile ) will keep looking and also see if the original 'man and beast' page gives us clues to social medium accounts,

mycroft


The social medium type sites sounds highly plausible, try T for tumblr as well?

In other news, hi, I'm new to the forums, but have been lurking for a very, very long while. (since MU)

morning all,

i'll post what i have received first and then try to get some thoughts down later about the flood of info we are receiving now!

i mailed MMMF after receiving the photo from him and asked him why lisa was so important to him. in reply he sent me a message with nothing other than the following links:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA
http://www.meat.org/

http://www.seventeen.com/
http://jn.physiology.org/
http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/topten/fugitives/fugitives.htm

the gap between two and three is as he sent it just in case it has any relevance. not sure if the seventeen link is a ref to lisa's age or whether he is pointing towards the vampire material - i guess MMMF as a form of vampire would make sense, what with the terrible teeth theme. this might also suggest that our countdown to EAT means exactly that...

mycroft


I was just wondering, has anyone tried anything regarding these two numbers, 10 and 17?

Earlier, someone listed all the colors as numbers, maybe they have something to do with that one?

Or maybe it has to do with just the words or letters, like a book cipher almost? Although I don't think they would give us a puzzle without giving us the necessary clues to solve it...

assuming that the 'social mediums' post on MMMF's blog means he is aware of luckylonely's facebook page (as the F links to it) i checked the various members of the 'found a creepy flash drive' group, in case MMMF was amongst them.

only one member seemed 'odd' - listed as calluna calyx, but no other details on her own page and appears to have joined FB to coincide with the start of all this. i added her and have exchanged messages, established her name is heather (lat. calluna vulgaris) and she described herself as a 'lurker'. still not 100% sure if CC is in game or OOG but hope to clear up.

after this though a new member has joined, Mitzi Montego. MM has lefta message on the group page and has contacted me personally through facebook with the following:

Quote:
I'm really sorry to bother you on here, but I saw you posting on my friends group thing. I have tried reaching her every normal way I can think of, I even called her family and haven't heard back. I can't find her at all, she hasn't been in class, she hasn't returned my calls, I haven't heard from her in a solid week and that just isn't like her.

I think this stalker thing might be more serious than I first thought, but I can't do anything because I'm not family. Do you know how to contact him or have you heard from lisa? I'm really freaking out here, please help.


so definitely in game. a possible attempt to kick start us after we have stalled on the MMMF blog, or maybe the natural progression of the story. either way, it seems LL may have disappeared and i am guessing that is more sinister than a trip for spring break.

have written back to MM will see what comes of this.

reply from mitzi of the 'found a creepy flash drive' group:

Quote:
Thanks so much for understanding, I really am freaking out. Can you get me a that blog and email? I won't contact him yet, but it'll make me feel better to have it, just in case.

I don't know if you care, but Lisa has had a rough few years, and she's always come to me first. I while back her grandfather died and she spent three days on my couch in her pajamas crying, haha. I wish she had come to me with this, too, you know?

Please give me any info you or anyone else has gathered about this whole thing. On my end, all I know is she found a flash drive, some guy started stalking her and now she's gone. I don't think it'll help cuz it's totally gibberish, but her last text to me only said "DM_.pjn.0" makes no sense to me, but maybe you know something I don't...


the list of web addresses MMMF sent to me by mail before (see above) can give us DM_17jn10

the obviously blue characters from the first blog poem gives us DM_17jn10

this has to be so close to an answer - but i haven't worked out what to do with it yet!?

bible reference - deuteronomy, john..?
DM = dailymotion, or download manager?
17jn10 = a date, 17/1/2010 or 17/6/2010?

Wow, even if I had gotten that, I don't think I'd have believed that was the answer.

So, maybe this is what we are looking for?

mycroft

ETA

sent Diam a tweet to say hello and see if they need some help. let's see where this takes us. it would appear, from reading Diam's past tweets, that we were on the right track withsome of our earlier conjecture as to who/what was on the flashdrive.

Quote:

mycr0ft7 @DM_17JN10 hello Diam - i'm here to help
DM_17JN10 @mycr0ft7 jubilation. i cannot see or feel anything.
mycr0ft7 @DM_17JN10 can you tell me more about yrself?
mycr0ft7 are you trapped within twitter, or within a computer? i think you were caught in a flashdrive that a friend of mine found
DM_17JN10 @mycr0ft7 I am Derivitive Management unit 17JN10, designated Diam by my adoptive comrades. Interface What would you like to know?
mycr0ft7 @DM_17JN10 where r u from? and if it isn't Earth, how did you get here? are you ok with all the questions? i have a lot to ask
DM_17JN10 @mycr0ft7 I am from Earth.
mycr0ft7 @DM_17JN10 so what does a DM unit 17JN10 do? you said yr adoptive comrades, so i guess yr out of yr normal environment/situation?


if anyone wants me to ask anything let me know - i have a lot of questions jotted down already and can post occasional updates on here if that helps? or just assume everyone will follow on twitter?

Holy crap, I don't think I would have noticed that, like ever. That was pretty crazy.

Also, glad to see more on this one.

denied,

that would be me up to now. so far, it appears that Diam is some kind of android, from the future, and it looks as if his 'memory' has been downloaded out of his original boduy and become trapped somewhere else. wherever Diam is trapped, he has access to twitter. best guess at this stage is that he was loaded onto the flashdrive and that when lisa lauren found it she may have transferred Diam onto her own computer.

happy to ask questions, or i am sure Diam will be fine having other followers if anyone else wants to speak directly.

liffington,

the V is actually a W - see earlier solve. W:11,12,13 led us to

hey, I'm pretty sure I'm reading too much into this but i found it kinda interesting all the same. The twitter name was Diam right? Well Diam might not be Latin but if you reverse it maid turns into Virgo. I'm fairly certain it's just a stretch of my imagination but some of the Greek mythology on Virgo keep tugging at my memory. It won't give a definite on who Virgo is supposed to represent, but there's a few possibilities going around and i kinda see links.. a few relate them back to luck, justice and charms, thought it sounded kinda like the blog post, Virgo is a constellation, 'shooting stars i once called home' maybe? There was a mention of a wheel of fortune too, not really a 'wrong wheel' like we're looking for i know.. Allot of the stories were based on abductions or lost people, one saying they were trapped, imprisoned in a dark place, the gods bring them back to keep the balance but only 6months a year, it ended 1 week before she went missing, it could be the 'call back God to prison' angle i spose.... Oh, and before i forget i really doubt it means anything but one of the stories even had the name Icarius in it, i assumed it to be coincidence because of the misspell.
Like i said, I'm just grasping at straws here but i thought it was interesting
