 		I havnt been in an ARG since the whole Ben Drowned Zelda one. That was my first and man that had me up for near a week straight. Yeah I get a little addicted to these.

Got an email from 'F'

'i am a white male.is there anything you would like me to investigate?'

was what is said. So a leased we know that F is a man.
Any ideas if he should investigate anything. I got some but thought i would ask you's first.

 		Just had a pretty long conversation with him:

Me:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
My name is Grace. I like your email address. Have you got any food? Are you hurt in any way? Do you know where you are? Is there any way you can get out of the house? Can you get to other websites?


Him:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
hello grace.i have food.i am not hurt.i do not know where i am.i
cannot access other websites.i like your email address also.


Me:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
What's your name? Do you know what time it is?


Him:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
tell me wHy you arE asking so many Lovely questions Please?


Now, rearranging the capitals (actually,.. isolating the capitals) gives me the word:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
HELP


Me:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
HELP


Him:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
looking backwards into the mind sees forwards into the world.into the
world.into the world.into the world.into the world.into the world.into
the world.into the world.into the world.


Me:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
what the hell are you on about? are you a robot? or are you crazy?


Him:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
to find the answers,you must look forward into the world.DAmN GracE
you ask too many Ruddy questions!


Isolating the capitals, and keeping the exclamation mark, again gives me:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
DANGER!


Me:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Who is in danger?


Him:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
DANGER LIST:
Compound A 1274
Compound C 5214
Compound D 2539
Compound F 3927
Compound X 9814

 		I'd go with a Where/Why/How approach.

Where: Ask him if there's any windows.. can he see any street signs or identifiable places outside. Ask him if anyone is with him, or if he can hear any voices.

Why: I asked him if he knew why anyone would kidnap him, if he worked for anyone important. No response yet.

I'm not sure where to go with this... if we keep hitting dead ends as far as location since we're clearly not meant to outright know, hence the blocks...

I do know I need to get some sleep, but I'll check back tomorrow. Should have been in bed about five hours ago. >_< Good luck!

Edit: Holy crap, you're brilliant! Now to work on what on earth that means.

 		Tried googling those compounds and not getting anything.
could it be some kind of code?

edit:

Just asked him this:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Can you give me a name or are you okay to me referring to you as 'F' which is what I have been doing.
Alright are you in a room or are there other rooms where you are. Are you alone? Can you describe what are in the room/rooms.


got this in return:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
you may call me anything you like.i am not sure of what my name is, but the filter blocks out all the things my name could possibly be.i am in the main room at the moment,there is a couch and a computer.there is a bedroom,a bathroom and a kitchen.the bedroom has a bed,and a wardrobe.the bathroom has a toilet,a batch,and a cabinet.the kitchen has a refrigerator.

 		I agree. I just asked him to have another look around the house, under the bed and whatnot. Also asked him what was with the things he sent you and if he remembers what he was doing before he ended up where he is.

 		Compound F 3927.. well, his email 'name' is listed as the exact same thing.

I'm trying to find out if there's any connection.. is it possible there's one person per compound, and those are some kind of code name?

I asked him if those numbers meant anything, got this:

Quote:
it's everywhere.it's everywhere.i hear it.i see it.it's everywhere.


EDIT: Sent the underlined bits back to him and got this:

Quote:
it is everywhere.it is everywhere.it is everywhere.it is everywhere.<DFG>


I think it's sending him/email filter into a spasm?

 		He seems so stable with me. His conversations are a lot more erratic with you two.
Its odd...

Edit: Oh my. I sent him a message asking if those other compounds were people that were in danger and got this.

 		we couldnt of all said the wrong things. I suppose the game is just paused for now. I have this foreboding feeling for 'F' though.

When i asked about the compound list he gave you ARGumentative he said you asked who was in danger and he was telling you. I asked if those were other people and they were in danger. and thats when i got the email from DFG security.

 		What do you mean by commands? Fairly straightforward conversation on my part.. after the freakout bit where he starts repeating..

Me:
Quote:
Sorry, what's everywhere? I really want to be able to help you.

F:
Quote:
the number,it's everywhere.

Me:
Quote:
Are there any other numbers everywhere?


And then bam, shutdown.
You think they're calling time out on the game?

NEW MESSAGE:
Quote:
it shut down.i don't know why it shut down,it just did.the number is everywhere,i hear it, and i see it in places it shouldnt be - barcodes,etc.

 		The first time I saw it, it was
<DFG>

Then it turned into
EDIT: oops, coding is acting weird.
Code:
?-DFG:LOOPDETECTED | DFG:SHUTDOWNEMAILSENDER-?

with the < on the sides

So I suppose this could explain the email shutdown. Sorry. XD
We should probably try and keep him from repeating himself? Or..

 		Yes, I think keeping him away from repeating himself is best.
