I'll look into this. It'll be a good time killer waiting for WRB to continue.

Lots of potential entry points here, it seems. I'm assuming much of the content at duvallurban.info is in-game, but with urban legends it's sometimes hard to tell where fictive lines get drawn anyway. Obviously, chupacabra are "real" outside the game, as are duende, but I don't think I've heard of this Xibalba before. Seems pretty dark.

The phone numbers have been removed from the Contact info. I'm going to email them about it, I think.

I just went back to the site to see if I could find any trace of the number, when I saw this:

http://duvallwireless.com/archives/193

The game is afoot!

Sent an angry email requesting direct correspondence with Eric Shriver, so hopefully I'll get something back with that.

Sounds like some immature dumb ass screwing with ARG people. I would guess some dumb teenager thinking they are funny.
Following up sending angry e-mails to the owner of the 1-800 number probably just eirks that person because they don't even know what your talking about and I would guess they would think your crazy with your e-mail.

just got this email

Dear Mr. Darkvalel,

Duvall Wireless apologizes for the recent interference with our company?s website and telephone number. We were unfortunately comprised by an as of yet unknown source.

However, law enforcement officers and Duvall Wireless have been investigating this incident since we were first made aware of this situation a few days ago. So far it has been determined that the perpetrator(s) of this crime holds a personal vendetta against me. We are currently narrowing down our list of suspects and are hopeful the perpetrator(s) will be caught shortly.

While we are confident that no personal customer information was comprised as a result of this security issue, we are also increasing security measures on our website to ensure there will be no more incidents like this in the future.

I sincerely apologize that this unprovoked vendetta against me has affected our valued Wireless customers and their business with our company.

Rest assured, Duvall Wireless will continue to provide excellent customer service to our clients.

In the meantime, we thank you for your continued support and business with our company.

Sincerely,
Eric D. Shriver
C.E.O. of Duvall Wireless

Found this just now:

http://lloydguerrero.wordpress.com/author/lloydguerrero/

Looks decidedly IG. I sent Lloyd an email offering my services as per his request in the latest entry. I'm glad this is picking up!


Edit: There seems to be a definite connection between the Gurreros and Shriver via Gallivant College and The Folklore and the Mythology Museum of the Americas.

New post on the duvallurban site confirms it.

Got emails back from both Xibalba and Dr. Guerrero. Here are the exchanges:

Quote:

I was able to witness your sabotage handywork before it was removed from the wireless site. Nice touch. Shriver's got the law involved, now, though, so you'd better watch yourself. I'm interested in seeing where this leads. Let me know if there's something I can do for you.

-Jez


Quote:
We like your style and thanks for the heads up.

We are flattered that you think it was us, but we are not the only ones after Shriver. He has made many enemies in Duvall and though Shriver is powerful, he?s not without weaknesses.

Your first task is to talk with the Guerreros. Think about it as a little interview. Dig a little, they are hiding something big.

-X


Then Guerrero:

Quote:

Good day Mr. Guerrero,

I came across your blog today and I'd like to help you with your research. I'm somewhat handy with texts and ciphers, and I have many acquaintances who are skilled in this area as well. Let me know what you'd like me to do, and I'll be glad to get cracking.

Sincerely,
Jez



Quote:
Jez,


Thank you for your interest. Your skill set sounds impressive and useful to my research. I am trying to set-up a meeting tonight at 7pm.

Will you, and any other peer that you trust, be able to meet at this time? I know that this is very short notice, but we need to get started on this endeavor as soon as possible.

Please only give out the chat site information to people you trust; it's imperative that you use your best judgment for this is a very important project. This is the link to the chat room: http://www.chatzy.com/763422453997


This method of communication might seem informal but it will keep our privacy intact.

-Lloyd.


Trying to figure out in what timezone his 7pm falls, but I plan on being in that chat.

Got the email also. Will be at the chat. He asked if I had someone I trust I can bring to the chat, so I'm not sure if we need to partner up or not.

I'm guessing not since he's sent the emails out to multiple people. Will be there nonetheless.
