Well this was fun and creepy to begin with, now it's starting to just get plain creepy. Especially with some of the recent fiction/reality line blurring. I'm starting to get paranoid myself. Oo

My two cents, OOGish:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
DNC just suddenly isn't making a whole lot of sense, I agree with you all. It seems like he possibly has gone of the deep end, both IG and now OOG possibly. Let's just hope the PM can maybe figure out what he's going to do before stuff gets too crazy. If there is a PM behind this...


This is probably obvious, but going by the "how would you react if you saw me?" line, uh... Let's just stay away from any drops or geocaches DNC might set up, just in case. Or at least be really careful, bring someone with you.

Edit: did some reach into Fred and Rose West recently, part of an assignment. More OOG Spec stuff:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
There's always the possibility DNC is a lust-driven, delusional killer and the flirting is the way of showing that IG. (if going extremely over the top about it/getting too in character)
There have been SKs that have claimed that their vics are in love with them and asked to die, and DNC has said things about how his girls he kills show him they want to die. Of corse, I can't know for sure, weakandwounded, but did the conversations have any vibes of that sort?


Random somewhat creepy thing: I was signing up for classes and the administration code/password I have to use to sign up is, I kid you not, ***-9372

So the 'surprise' was getting to skype with DNC himself? I'm kinda pissed I missed that...


No, I don't think so. I was talking with him on Skype before she posted that.

OOG:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
To be honest most of the things he was saying didn't really seem in character to me. I don't know. A lot about being jealous, about how he didn't understand why my boyfriend wasn't upset that I was talking to him, about how it didn't seem like he was my favorite anymore, how I betrayed him by not telling him I had a boyfriend, etc. The basic gist was that once he found out I had a boyfriend he was jealous, and that was when he asked stonedaffection to speak on skype.

Here is one of the longer and more constructed emails he sent, just to give you an idea: http://i.imgur.com/4gdNB.png That was probably the most character-like one he sent. The link goes to: http://tinyurl.com/somedayuwillrealizeiamreal

Also, since he started being weird - what's with the MS Paint stuff in his photos? The 100/100 and the faces on this picture - odd.


Edit: I love the adminstration code, Meredith!

That's intersting. Another gender/smileyface combo like the umethem. If it's oog them then it sure is a strange coincidence. And didn't he say earlier about "said I have no heart, now I have two" after he killed his second [known] victim?

/detective mode

This might just be me being paranoid again, weakandwounded, but really I'd suggest not getting into contact with him again, his email seems really stalkerish, both IG and majorly OOG. Stay safe. He mentioned knowing where you live... unless you gave him a false lead, which is smart.

EDIT: Analyzing the picture you were sent and seemed confused about.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

I was looking back at the photo, in the context of the email, and I'm pretty sure it's part of his stalkerness. Not entirely sure what the faces mean, but from L>R, I'm pretty sure it represents your boyfriend, you and DNC. The message being "break up with him and give me your heart" either metaphoric or literal.


I'm going to stop now. I'm sorry for analyzing something that involves you personal life, I just figured since you seemed confused. If you were talking about him using MSPaint, he's used MSP from day one I'm quite sure. I'd have to go back and check.

Re: Ms Paint stuff

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
He has used it from the start, I always presumed it was either to give everything a slightly "mad" feel or due to time/budget constraints, it just meant he was able to make fitting images quicker and for free (which when he using them on twitter as part of every response would make sense as it would mean he could keep pace)

But yeah, totally second the being very careful thing, this is one of those times you would not object to the Pm pulling the curtain back a little (even just to reassure those getting the more "personal" attention)

I would do more then not object, I would love and encourage them to pull it back even just a bit. Even if it's a 95% chance it is a game, it's still a 5% chance it's not... the implications of which my fiance and I had a bit of an argument/an "I'm very worried about you" discussion about. Needless to say, the 5% is a very important and fairly disturbing 5%.

Yeah, I think this is one of those situations where a little assurance from the PM(s) could go a long way. Although, I wouldn't blame you if you felt it had gotten a little too immersive and walked away from this game altogether, even if those assurances appeared.
This kinda reminds me of a similar sort of situation in an ARG a year or so back. Can't remember the name of the game though for the life of me, but IG and OOG were blurred in much the same vein.

EDIT - Now I remember, it was I'm Sorry. Some folks loved that blurring, others found it far too uncomfortable.

I'm too interested in the plot to simply walk away, I'll just step back for a month or so, just give myself a break. I've been stalked before, so yes I do find this uncomfortable. I'll still be following the story, but I'll just lurk for a while. I love the story, just think maybe this wasn't the best choice for a first ARG. Confused
Stay safe, you guys.

No clues, looks like they've stopped posting. Maybe to figure out how to resolve all of this, or perhaps the PM actually is some crazed and desperate person after all.

DNC sent me a tweet yesterday. I said "Death might not be the end? What comes after?"

He replied "knowledge" with a picture of The Hermit tarot card.

I'm waiting to see if anything happens today. If nothing does then the 100/100 wasn't a reference to 11/11/11 Question

(tinyurl and doiop for thehermit didn't have anything relevent)

To recap DNC's tarot cards so far each has been one of the major arcana (aka Trumps, Atu) of which there are customarily 22, each numbered and counting from 0-21.

The cards have been, in order:

XII The Hanged Man
I The Magician
IX The Hermit

Is 12, 1, 9 anything?

Also, maybe DNC's "0" or null signature is a reference to The Fool?

He also used the Justice card. It's the only one where he didn't draw tear mark on the face. I think he's symbolising himself (or maybe MDT) in the Justice card and the victims with the others.

I've been keeping an eye on this game from the beginning, but mostly lurking, occasionally getting involved. I never got any responses on twitter from MDT or DNC, but found the storyline extremely intriguing. The crossover into reality, and stalkish stuff gives it a new level of excitement, but I have to admit, your experiences with DNC do sound a bit creepy. Now, it may be a complete coincidence, but, I awoke this morning to the STOP sign in front of my house having a line (/) through the O in STOP. I didn't have time to take a pic, but my wife (who has been suffering through the videos with me, lol) saw it as well and it creeped her out a bit. If it is in game, bravo to the PM for going the extra mile, but wow, not sure how he would know where I lived. If it's OOG, as I expect to be more likely, then what a creepy coincidence! Just stay away from my wife DNC! lol

I give up on taking a break. This ARG is too addicting. ><

Kay, if nothing happens today, perhaps 100/100 wasn't referring to date, but completion. He said his masterpiece would be finally complete on 100/100. Like a ratio, 50/100 now it's done so it's 100/100.

Perhaps that means he's killed those he most needed to kill. Doesn't exactly fit the profile of killing to protect the balance of the world, but he never said it was a continuous thing like Light, he'd have to keep killing over and over. It could just be those who most want to be killed or something. Like Dahmer and how once he had collected 10 skulls and 2 skeletons, his mission would be complete.
Hmm....
