 		Meemi updated
Picture added to Josh's Meemi yesterday.

Looks like his room got roughed up.

Where is this picture of which you speak? You are the first person I have heard mention this.

Just because the email has the same "hlm1963" does not make it "In Game".

Though your free to dispute.
1. Youtube was found by googling hooklineandminker, and appeared after the horse had bolted.
2. Also that appeared was the clearly dubious meemi, again a google search hit some time after the info was released
3. Youtube was linked to meemi using some weak +1 code.
4. Facebook is intimately tied to all of the above, and anyone can set up an account by "changing existing details". I think the fact they linked all of them was one of several fundamental flaws
5. Anyone can post onto facebook, especially once the images are available
6. The IG email is not hlm1963SPLATlive.com

I stand to be proved wrong - But am not at all convinced, which I think is current concensus.

 		I am still firmly convinced that facebook page is total GJ.

All the signs point to GJ. The phone number being the latest. If it was a real number, why would it be posted and the same day called and shown as disconnected. Sorry someone is just trying to distract from the game.

I agree, and I believe it to be an concerted effort. I have a suspicious feeling that there may be more than one person involved.

So, seems the profile is actually in game then, because with a phone book look up of the last name Minker in WV there's only 4 and none are names that have come up for us so far.

EDIT: Apparently Mount Morris, is actually in PA. Really close to WV though.


And how do you come to the IG conclusion?


Because if it he was a real person, the name and address would come up upon searching the name in the phone book...

EDIT: He just posted this picture

 		photo added and removed on FaceBook :/
wish i got a screen shot while he had it up. He had a picture of a box with an address and "Flowered Green Dress" marked on the box.

there was also a notebook with the word clearly written: chotenlaka

The rest looked like scribbles and at the top it said "Notes for the 4th."

The picture was literally just deleted. He also had a photo album called "-----"

Very Happy I have no problem with eating crow. However, I highly doubt that will happen.

Agreed.. The crow eaters will not be us. IF this is not a GJ and the chances are very minor that it is... there is only one piece of proof I would accept. A link from HLM to the Facebook page. Until that happens. I wont believe it's IG.

 		Wouldn't it be strange (counterproductive... stupid... lame) for an IG Facebook profile to post a photo clue, then almost immediately delete it?

These ARGs are not improvised on the spot, they're planned out in detail and in advance with roll outs scheduled, etc.

Such odd behavior reeks of amateurish gamejack. Or to put it another way: wouldn't you hate to see the official SUPER 8 ARG be run so haphazardly?
