 		I just caught up (phew got in early) and joined.

@Kaltern. I believe the tumblr page is a place for player submissions and I believe that the sock puppet picture was probably posted there by shrtyscott3. I think he's playing the "socks and gnomes unite against the humans" angle. Laughing

I have been DMing Gnomeatic. The PM did great adressing a different ARG, with an in-game comment. Here's our conversation:

You need help? I have some friends who would love to assist.
Gnomeatic: What do you have to offer?
Well I despise the human race. My people have been trying to garner acknowledgment for years, we are the sock puppets. We would like to join
Gnomeatic: Ah, sock puppets, I've heard about your kind but never met any. All inanimate species are allowed to join our cause. Feel free.
Gnomeatic: Also, I hear there's a group of socks starting a corporation. Might be for you!


ETA: Yep that's definitely shrtyscott3.

Maybe he should partially disassemble the laser to expose the beam and use it to cut the lock in the door?

.....and we had him push it over.. Very Happy

 		Did you also tell him to knock the laser over? Perhaps we were too hasty. Wink

I sent this: Me: ok. an exit. something to defend yourself. do u see any papers lying around? 2:04 PM

edit/random: so... I randomly saw an ad on snorkle's blog for this game. I just seems really appropriate, considering:

+14844666342: I did find some paper, it was on top of this safe with a weird keypad on front, look at blog 3:11 PM


And new image: http://wtw.posterous.com/22515202

Edit: New blog post:

Okay so I've been screwing around with the safe a bit... I managed to rock it back and forth. There's something inside that I can hear rattling around, might be a key, but I don't know the code to the safe. Also, can't figure out for the life of me what that paper is supposed to be for


Edit2: okay, so that piece of paper is a parody of:

 		Yeah it was I who proposed an alliance between gnomes and sock puppets >Very Happy

I'm not really helping Richard, just keeping him sane, for now.

 		Okay guys. Pulling back the curtain here for a sec.

We received an extremely explicit and, frankly, scary voicemail to Richard's GVoice account. Whoever called was from a blocked line so we can't trace it.

I'm letting you know because if the culprit was someone from unFiction (and I really hope it isn't because I've been a member here since '07 and most of you are awesome), they'll know not to do it again.

We're not sure if it was an attempted gamejack or what, but we're going to be slightly more careful with Richard's account from now on.

 		"Gnomeatic" and "Gnome" wanted me to post the recording on here as well. I'm not entirely sure why, as it's very very graphic, explicit and EXTREMELY NSFW.

I have not listened to the recording, and have no plans to do so. Sad
This is the kind of thing that makes me scared to hand out my phone number to anyone.
An explicit message is upsetting at any time, but it is especially disappointing given the whimsical, tongue-in-cheek nature of IFILR so far.

 		Scary and graphic. I hope this doesn't hinder our gameplay.

The "NSFW" is an understatement. I couldn't make myself listen past the 0:25 mark.

What the hell people?!? What was the point of doing that???

I'm terrified and freaking out. I haven't eaten for about a day now and the only water I can find is this really sulfur-rich water that I can barely stomach. I keep seeing flashes of little red hats and I hear mutterings in high-pitched voices.

Maybe I'm going crazy, but I really believe in the gnomes now.

What do they want from me? What can I hope to offer them?

I guess I'll go wrestle with the safe some more. But I get the feeling someone left me this paper. Like maybe it's got a secret code in it or something. Probably just wishful thinking, but still...

Let me know if you have any ideas.



Quote:
Tried again, there's definitely something in the safe. Been playing around with it, I've established that it wants somewhere around a 30-35 digit code... where the hell could that come from? This paper is driving me nuts


I commented on the blog about using the number of words in each line of the poem (there are 30 lines) and also using the first letter of each line after converting using telephone keypad conversion. I'd text him the info but I've not yet received a text from him yet. Not sure if he would be able to see comments to the blog from phone.
