I just received this email from simulacrum419SPLATgmail.com
I am not sure if it's a new trailhead or if it goes with another ARG.

well it is interesting...
The word on the side is San Francisco. Is the water tower on Alcatraz accessible to tourists? I forget... I don't believe so as it's on the grass.

the numbers are 6, 3, 3, 8, 1, 6 (or 9), 02

Last I recall, the water tower was not accessible, but that a few years back. I got this too and I have to say, as confused as I am as to what it goes with, I love that picture. Trying to figure out if there's anything to those numbers.

I am in Sacramento and I know there are quite a few ARGers in SF. So if we want to start a trailhead we can get moving on this. Looks interesting enough.



It does not look like the bottom of the water tower is very accessible.

Got it too. Not much to add. Have we started a thread for this?

Did a search and couldn't find anything under the terms I used. Found this from the Signal4514 blog just there. Not many posts, so maybe it is new?

I'd Like to welcome you back to my world, players, as Many of you may remember, or maybe not remember, I am AOD, master of Aods game. And after much clearing of Inside interference, (damned Trojans and there god forsaken viruses)

sadly I am contacting you now to inform you that there will be no Game played by you, you now know the rules to well. less surprise, so Instead, I'll let you discover what is being planned.And we'll see if you can step up to the challenge. These peoples Existence may very well be in your hands, Best not let them down.

Care to play a game?
You owe me now!
Goodbye.....


I'd like to take this opportunity to thank AOD for including my email along with everyone else's in the "to" box. It's not like any of us have anything to hide, right? Rolling Eyes

This rings a bell, but I don't remember where it wound up. Anyone?

I can not believe how stupid Daniel was, he posted the time and place of our meeting on his damn blog! Did he think they wouldn't be watching it? It means they know about me too and it is just a matter of time before they figure out who I am. But maybe there is still time for me to get Daniel out of here before they do and before they realise he is no use to them alive.

Dunstan's idiotic little stunt trying to capture him at the grave yard has left so many rifts in this loop that at least they can't just Tunnel back in the next few days to kill me and anything further back could cause a cascade. So if we can escape this place then we'll be in the clear, for a while anyway.

That's where you come in, I know you have all been helping him and now I need your help to save him. In order to bridge through the containment cell I need the molar mass and electron mobility of Gallium Phosphide and the electronegativity of Indium.

If I do this right I can set us down smack in the middle of Paddington station, do this wrong and it could be game over for one or both of us. Normally I have a team of guys here to find this stuff out but I start asking for Bridge details now and someone will get suspicious.

We get one shot at this and we don't have long, please, hurry.


hope i posted this right...
