There is a LOT of information and not much can be skipped really...
So - read it all... even the topics that are locked, extremely long threads and what looks unimportant, too.

5: Before posting anything you think is new information, please use the search-field (icon placed in top right corner of the page) to see if this is "old news". These games are not meant to be "played and won" in just a few hours anyway, so there's no need to hurry.


What more could I have done without sounding condescending?

 		Update January 20th

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
E-mail from the Hornchurch Star:
    Happy New Year!

    I hope things are good; wherever you are in the world.

    Here at Hornchurch we've just about recovered from the holiday season. Still, there's no rest for the wicked - we've been frantically updating our site for you. Why not check it out?

    Duty calls,

    The Editor

Changes in the Hornchurch Star
    horoscope page:
    ● Aquarius: Jan 20 - Feb 18
    From: The stars can teach you many things. For example, Ophis is Greek for snake.
    Into: The stars still teach you many things: A loved one will propose at dawn on the 21st. If you're on time you should accept.
    ● Capricorn: Dec 22 - Jan 19
    From: The worth of a thing is what it will bring. It's nearly time to discover exactly what your true value is.
    Into: The worth of a thing is what it will bring. Did you discover what your true value was?


Update January 21st


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
At dawn the cell phone on the Hiding Room site rings:
    ● Voicemail: "1 new message"
    ● Dennis (Horen): "Welcome aboard!"
    ● Antonio: "Don't do it. Know thyself"
    ● Dennis:


Voicemail
    ● To listen to the voicemail, you must enter a pincode: 122128
    ● Jon Harker left the following message:

    "Hi, it's me here. If anyone's out there, I've got a message that might interest you. I've... I'm pretty much finished with the book. It's strange; everything seems to end where it begins. It's left me with a question that I need some help with. I need to find out where the aleph meets the star, to repeat, where an aleph meets the star. I'm currently researching a lead on the *marda dubh* and I won't be leaving here for a while. But if you can help me with the aleph and the star, we might just be able to end this. And you can contact me through the usual channels."

      NB. Still some discussions going on what Jon says here, but the most general thought is that it is *marda dubh* or something the same, which is a hellhound like Shuck.

      Click here to listen to the message.

Phonenumber 1
    ● The phonenumber you must dail to get the voicemail is 07941520789. Dail this in real live and you'll here:

    "Hi, you've reached Steven's voice mail, I can't take your call at the moment so please leave a message after the tone"

    or

    "Hi, you've reached the invoice mail. I can't take your call at the moment so please a message after the tone
    ...thanks ...if Jon sent you, you're too late"

    ● After that you receive a text message:

    "U were 1st 2 leave a message. If u r working 4 JH try upstairs. Dont contact me again. Nice 1 m8."

    or

    "If Jon sent you, you're too late."

Mezzanine door
    ● If you enter phonenumber 1 (07941520789) as password in the Mezzanine door, you'll see the message:

    "well remembered. Everything is much clearer in Black & White"


Photo on the desk
    ● After entering the phonenumber in the Mezzanine door, you'll be able to see the back of the familypicture on the desk in the Studyroom.
    ● On the back are some words:

    "saturday mornings at the cinema. xmas with mum + dad. sports day. spectrum 48k. mr rickso(n). overcooked cabbage. scho(ol) dinners. loved jessica, summer + arsenal. hated eilean mor + veg. space inv(aders). choopers.evil knievel."

      NB. The (n) (ol) and (aders) are guesses

    ● There is also an other number: T07861-328-892

Phonenumber 2
    ● This number appears to be another phonenumber. After dialing this you'll here:

    "Hi this is Jon. Sorry i cant take your call right now, im researching a lead on the *marda dubh*"

***

These are the facts about the 20-01 & 21-01 updates so far I think. Please correct me if I'm wrong!

 		I'd just like to say thanks a lot to Seej. I'm new to unfiction.com, Sable & Shuck, and... well, really all ARG gaming. I don't know what I've gotten myself into, but it looks like a hell of a fun ride. Anyway, thanks for writing this... Helps 'noobs' like myself out a lot. Wink

Oh, and... hello to everyone!

~Moss

PS Slithy, I love your avatar... 'Twas brilling, and the slithy toves/did grye and gimbol in the wabe/all mimsy were the borogroves/and the momeraths outgabe.' It did run something like that, didn't it? I don't have the book in front of me at the moment, so that's as close as I can come for now.

PPS When it says you have to be 'over 18 to help locate Jon and be eligible for the finder's reward'... I'm assuming that there won't be an actual reward... Therefore, age doesn't really matter, does it? (Sorry that was the most awkward and stupid question in the universe Embarassed)

 		i think the age thing is more related to the drinking age in the UK. (18 )
seeing as this game is a whole viral thing for Stella Artois, there may well be beer involved at some point, and therefore, as a company, they need to check that no minors take part.
that and 'selling your soul' is something only conesenting adults should be doing

I have read all of the plot developments and such thus far. But I am still in the dark as to where to start? What can I do to start helping our and playing? What puzzles are we currently solving, or are we waiting for something new?

Once you have logged into S&S' exclusive area, they will be able to begin the next stage of your acquisition... They will measure the worth of your soul! Twisted Evil

NEW NEW NEW

That would be me. New to ARG and this site. stumbled across the hiding room on a puzzlesite in the "escape the room" section. Well we all know its not one of those but it got me here so its a good thing.

Question: Is this one dead or are 'we' still able to solve this? ... theoretically speaking of course. Some links seem to have been terminated (and no, I don't mean the advertisements in the Hornchurch star, good hint btw Twisted Evil )

iow: do you need the links to real sites like bbc.co.uk and witchesfest to actually solve anything?
