 		[ARG] Goodbye.nu ChARGity Blogathon
Found a couple days ago by browsing through the Blogathon Hotspots.

Goodbye.nu

Do you ever think that maybe there's more to the world than meets the eye? Do you like solving puzzles to unravel mysteries? Then this blogathon join the goodbye.nu crew to unravel the mystery of the Interred Technology Council and help stop Gillian Laramie before she unveils her master plan. A 24 hour interactive, challenging, constantly changing game in aid of the MS Trust UK.


The image on the site has changed at least once from http://www.goodbye.nu/blogathon/promo.jpg .

And there's already at least one puzzle: Xp bkew ac sjyr Mieswno Woxafps

 		heck of a strong statement of the Laramie Project. timeful yet timeless, on some basic truths and evils that must be contended with.

Pre-Game Post

Welcome, this is thE page where the 24 hour chArity alternate Reality gamE for blogathon 2005 will play out on the 6th of august 2005. ThIs will go in gaMe 24 hours before thE start at 9am edt.
This will not be played like other blogathon blogs or other alternate reality games. because of the restricted tiMe frAmE and thE ruleS of blogathon this is not pre-written, only pre-planned. Because it is an ARG, it follows the concept of the 'curtain' (if you are unfamiliar with ARG Terminology please visit here and here).

Blogathon is for charity. Please, if you intend to play please pledge even a small amount as it is going to a great cause. Pledges are taken via the official Blogathon site http://www.blogathon.org/blogathon.php?campaign&id=9 but you may have to register first. My blogathon is in support of the Multiple Sclerosis Trust UK


ok...sooooo "WE ARE TIME" but then...."TMAEES"??? and is the B from "because" apart of it?..i doubt it....sooo "WE ARE TIME......................
MATEES?
TEAMES?
maybe if we all spoke engrish...I would say the message is only "WE ARE TIME...but the capital letters pop up in the middle of words later on, suggesting they are part of the messge.
anyone care to shed some light on this?

 		has anyone solved this yet?

Quote:
I am the excuse for many things
Sacrifice to me
Go without for me
In my middle I am a consumer
At my end I am one step down from great
My first letter is the singular of a child's name
For animals that have me as their namesake
The second is the pirates' cry.

I know over in the side text that says:
Quote:

This is the blog of Lucky Blewes-Jones and the central area for the organisation of the hunt for Gillian Laramie.
Bhg bs Tnzr, guvf vf Oybtnguba 2005 sbe Gur Zhygvcyr Fpyrebfvf Gehfg HX.
Check back every half an hour for the next 24 hours to see if you can contribute.


The coded text is a ROT-13 that says:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Out of Game, this is Blogathon 2005 for The Multiple Sclerosis Trust UK.


It's after 9am Eastern time on August 6, so we should be in full swing now, right?

Ok, I've made a channel on the Chat Solutions IRC server - #blogathon

 		we are in full swing...the site is updated every half hour...it is a 24 hour ARG...we are supposed to stop this Gillian lady in 24 hours, she is organizing some massacre...and we have to stop it before the 7th....we've wasted alot of time.

the riddle is some message to us, b/c they don't know who is reading the blog. i think it was just supposed to be a quick solve....i got a clue from them "Its a TWO word phrase".....i'm really not seeing it.

:EDIT: solved!!

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"GREATER GOOD"

At my end I am one step down from great = GOOD

In my middle I am a consumer = EATER

The second is the pirates' cry = ARR = R

and thats all we need REATER GOOD...to get GREATER GOOD...thanks to everyone in chat for getting this one.
