Did I read that right? Mr. Giddings ransacked the wrong warehouse?


Bwahaha...I just read all of it now. You're right!

So did I just inadvertently send a character to jail? That's got to be a first!

Heh, possibly.

I've had more than a few laugh out loud chuckles during this one so far. Wife just gives me the rolleyes now. The first one went like

me: Laughing
Wife: what's so funny
me: It's this new ARG...
Wife: Rolling Eyes
me:...this one's about gnomes that are uprising against humans. And there's this guy trapped in...I lost you didn't I?
Wife: You lost me at ARG.

"This is what I found inside the lockbox in the safe. Popped the lock by banging it against the keyhole with the snapped off key inside, quite the chore. Help me make sense of this!"

It's Barrel. And I'm not sure but I think iz=I'm. In the audio from yesterday he says "Hi, iz Barrel Gnome. Wantz to get out, too."

Here is a conversation I had with Richard:

9:13 pm
Me: Could you help us figure out what this postcards say? Some of the pictures are a bit blurry.

10:03
+144844666342:
sure, tell me which one you need a closer look at. would take too long to type out all of them.

10:09 pm
Me: The one thats turned sideways, and the one in top left corner. I can't quite make out all the words.

10:13 pm
+144844666342: Can barely make that out myself. Looks like that person (gnome?) can barely spell.

10:13 pm
+144844666342: Says: to station comander ??? from director east ops barrel gnome iz common soon dunno why we uzing dis old system to talk

10:17 pm
Me: Okay, thats what I though it said, but I couldn't tell who it was from. I suspect judging from the other messages, Barrel is in the warehouse with you.

10:19
+144844666342: wait, so this barrel is a gnome?

10:20
Me: Correct. It sounds to me like they were stealing your companies machinery for some sort of operation.

It took place in gmt -6.... so about an hour and a half ago.

 		Just got a reply from Giddings...

What a day! And what the heck are you talking about, boy?

Apparently Giddings is used to causing thousands of dollars worth in damage every day. Should I tell him who the inanimate are? My flight leaves soon and I won't get to reply for about 4 hours, but after that I'm good.

 		I received a response yesterday I believe (before this happened) from Giddings regarding my response to his original email. I don't have all the text with me now and will post it later, but he apparently did have conflicting information about what warehouse to go to.

I've been swamped with numerous issues, so forgive me if I didn't report that in a timely manner. Again, for posterity's sake, I'll post the full text later tonight.

A word of apology from @IFILR_Choamsky to anyone expecting him. We've run into issues with logistics and an unfortunate human shipping co.

I will personally let IFILR members know when Choamsky is comfortable with his box and is on his way!


EDIT: Has anyone gotten word about when they are supposed to expect Choamsky?

The fiancee does not like gnomes whatsoever. Needless to say she was not pleased when I told her about this ARG.

Oh I do so hope we are a stop on the travel plans Razz

 		i dont remember reading anything about Ian Cummings other than him being the journalist behind both articles in the game.

Is this all the information we have? i just don't want to miss anything.
