Someone else is supposed to be going out there this morning, someone is in contact with them via SMS and will be giving updates on the IRC.

ffffffffffffff. I'm on the edge my seat here. I remember following the Portal 2 ARG a couple years back and it was amazing. Even if this isn't for Half-Life, its still amazing to me. Modern day interactive mystery adventures!

Has anyone survived the Black Lake Cemetery dead drop yet? I know it's been pointed out, but the arrangement of the three dead drops so far is just spectacular:

ExtraNoise posted:That's the second person to have something go wrong attempting to go to the location? Yes, yes it is. Though the btard trip was much funnier. This one was just disappointing. We're still looking for someone in the area. If anyone in this thread has any friends they can call; come to IRC and let us know! We've had the info to decode this drop info for a while and it would be cool to get someone out there quickly now as it's a real possibility what we're looking for is already gone.

If you want more incentive, I'm willing to pay $50 to whoever travels to the drop location and fetches whatever is there. (I will also pay if the trip turns out to be a failure, as long as you've got a picture to prove you were there)

For $50, I'll do it. I live in Minneapolis. It'll have to wait until Saturday, though.

BonoMan posted:I'm not buying it. Either plants or trolls or people not actually wanting to go through with it and coming up with an excuse. I think the latter. One decided to leave after dark, had his phone die, and allegedly got towed home. I think anyone who's going to a graveyard 2.5hrs away with a dead phone would turn around and make something up. The other gent was way too excited. Said he'd bring friends and guns and leave at 7AM. He admitted to sleeping in, then said he was on his way, then ignores all messages until his tire allegedly gets a nail. I bet he stayed in bed, put his phone on mute after a few texts, and went back to sleep. Meanwhile I was up at 6AM just to track his trip. Fucker.

I've been following this fairly closely but there's one question I must've missed the answer to.. The dead drops have had CDs at them, but have either of these CDs been made readable yet? What's on them? It's just a bit weird to me that if this is an ARG why would the CDs be encrypted beyond readability? Kinda takes the point out of finding them. Unless this new dead drop in the middle of the last two has the encryption keys on it.

Black Oak... Black Mesa But seriously, I don't think any ARG has had me this hooked ever. I'm really looking forward to figuring all this out. (And by that I mean watching everyone else figure it out because I'm to stupid to get any of this stuff. )

http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/f...cr&CRid=2233522 What does "Organized Feb. 1918, Closed Nov. 1969, Mission Accomplished" mean? It can't mean the cemetery was closed in '69 - there are internments after that date.

I mean that picture raises an interesting idea. Now that we have the names of three places latitudinally connected, can any meaningful name or sentence be created from rearrangement of the combined letters of the names of all three places?
