Sounds awesome. Any Idea if this will be interactive more than just showing us stuff? It might be sweet if so.

I do believe this will be interactive. In the most recent post, Thomas says:
Quote:
What's more, when I got home, I received an unmarked letter, in a plain envelope. It's gibberish, a half-riddle and some numbers. I'm going to try to make sense of it tonight, but, if I can't, I'll post what it says along with a photo of it tomorrow.

The letter in Thomas' new post is a Caesar cipher, and it decrypts to read:

Has anyone told thomas what the letter says? He seemed like he wanted to know.

Lots of new posts. The final one from "S.H." has an encoded "capital letter" message in it that translates to:

Quote:
HELP THOMAS KEEP HIM AWAY FROM THE WOMBAT DO NOT LET HIM CHASE IT

In the original joke Billy follows the voice of the purple wombat, ends up in the middle of a lake and drowns and the moral (and the punch line) of the story is "Don't stand up in a boat".
I think S.H. is warning us that the same thing can happen to Thomas. If he doesn't care about anything else than finding what the wombat is or what does it want, he doesn't realize to be aware of any other danger like "don't stand up in a boat". He could end up getting hurt or worse.

S.H. sounds a bit upset.

S.H. wrote:
You fools! I specifically told you all to keep Thomas away from the wombat, but you couldn't even accomplish that simple task!


He also left us a YouTube channel to watch in his new post:

Oh, exciting!

Also, very interesting words of choice. He's talking about Thomas being a key player, why is that? And why is the wombat so interested in him? He's talking about how the wombat might leave our world once more if Thomas dies, how so? And where would it go? When has this happened before? He's talking about sources, meaning he appears to have connections we don't yet know of, also talking about operatives meaning he has people/things in this world working for him.

It definitely sounds like a line up for awesome development! Plenty of questions and thrilling messages to come along. I like the youtube involvement. Already subscribed so to not miss any messages from there.
