Alright. I already gave him that info TWICE in the comments, so hopefully this time he pays attention.


It may just be an example of railroading.


Not really. An ARG isn't an RPG, the plot is all already done. If we try to force something, it's unlikely to happen if it's not supposed to yet.

EDIT: Although some form of justification instead of just ignoring it would be nice.

Never mind. I'm experiencing technical difficulties. I thought I had sent the e-mail, but now I received an e-mail that my e-mail had failed to be sent. That's the second time I tried, and with the same results.

Is it just me, or is there something wrong with the e-mail address he's linked us?

Try making an account with the address to make sure it's real.

If they intend to make it later so we can actually use it, that may be a problem...

Maybe, but you could probably just check if the address is available, without actually using it.

SH@holmesinvestigation.net is not a registered email address.

SH@holmesinvestigations.net is.

They put the wrong address on the site.

You would think the greatest detective of all time would notice a detail like that, no?

Wonder if they will try to justify it by saying it was a test of his clients' deductive skills or something...

Probably the puppetmaster's location. Probably safe to ignore.

Mosy likely, but it could be the location of Holmes' benefactor.

I think we should steer Holmes toward the well-dressed lass he's been seeing around.

I've already got things moving on that Wysp. No need to worry. I've mentioned her identity and given him all the info we have on her twice, and when he didn't respond we decided to have Wacky e-mail him the info as a case offer.

In case you were all wondering, here's the e-mail I sent him:

Good day sir. I have been a passive observer of your blog for some time. But now, I am in need of your help. Or to put it more accurately, we are in need of your help.

Perhaps you are aware of the group of people who make up the majority of your commenting viewers of your blog, who have shown interest in you due to your perceived fictional nature in this universe. And perhaps you are also aware that we have been tracking the movements of other fictionals in this world, including your old pal, Hercule Poirot.

We are a group known as the MetaGuards. It all started with a man named Average Joe who noticed several odd occurrences happening all across the world. We came to the conclusion that characters from many fictional universes, or what he had assumed to be fictional universes, were now arriving in this world. Working together, we've located your blog as well as Poirot's. We've located other characters, such as the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland, Don Quixote, Long John Silver, Gulliver, Romeo, Juliet, The Wicked Witch of the West, and Sweeney Todd (Which Poirot is currently going to investigate). We know there are others, but we lack the means to locate them.

This is where you come in.

Joe has recieved a video of a woman who appears to resemble Cinderella materializing in a subway station in New York. The video can be seen at this link, and is seen at the very end of the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9XZ6lOIeJw&feature=plcp. We know she is in New York, for the sender of the video, Sarah, had mentioned it to Joe. While you are in New York, we would appreciate it if you could somehow find her so that we may confirm her location and make sure that she is safe. We would also love to have someway to maintain contact with her. We would be very grateful if you can help us.

Based on your recent blog postings, we have reason to believe that you may have bumped into this woman twice already. First at the ball, and later at the coffee shop. You may not be a man who believes in fate, but perhaps you were meant to find this girl.

Sincerely,
WackyMPractical

Yeah, great job.

I do hope he can find her, I am rather worried about Cinderella right now...
