[16:26]<crashdemons> punched cards
[16:26]* bobdamnit__ is now known as bobdamnit
[16:26]<crashdemons> Slate Deposits is also an exact title match of our book from MD response
[16:26]<Xkeeper> yeh. that was jan 30
[16:26]<bobdamnit> best time to call MD is 8-9 EST
[16:26]<Xkeeper> our drop was retrieved 31st
[16:26]<Xkeeper> soooo... ?????
[16:27]<crashdemons> so, who posted the original?
[16:27]<crashdemons> of that image?
[16:27]<bobdamnit> woah. thats creepy
[16:27]<Xkeeper> http://exciting-books.tumblr.com/post/75031471828/adaptive-reuse-of-punched-cards-in-public
[16:28]<crashdemons> so
[16:29]<crashdemons> this exciting-books user has information about the ARG before we get it.
[16:29]<Xkeeper> there's a lot of these style things: http://exciting-books.tumblr.com/post/74905266897/the-death-of-improvement-district-no-1
[16:29]<Xkeeper> I wouldn't say that, so far it's just coincidence
[16:29]<crashdemons> seriously?
[16:29]<crashdemons> the punch card (same design even) one day before we pick up ours
[16:29]<Xkeeper> ...one was just posted, haha.

[16:30]<crashdemons> and a fake book cover that matches our (LONG) title of a book we WANT that IS ARG-related
[16:30]<crashdemons> so yeah, this guy is at least slightly on the inside.
[16:31]<crashdemons> or PM is communicating / commissioning these
[16:32]<crashdemons> can we do anything interesting with the ISBNs?
[16:32]<Xkeeper> !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[16:33]<Xkeeper> okay. not a coincidence any more.

[16:37]<Xkeeper> it's 9 780816 041954
[16:37]<L0j1k> what in teh fuck
[16:38]<crashdemons> L0j1k, TLDR:  exciting-books knew we were going to receive a punchcard before we received it, and is posting high-quality book cover originals.
[16:38]<crashdemons> some of which match our book titles
[16:39]<Xkeeper> 9 780299 933357
[16:40]<crashdemons> all I can say is.... Congratulations. we found the internet portion of the ARG.
