[Puzzle] Shifty's Calls (related to vmail 415-670-9198)

Post by ladron121 »

I am moving the list of audio clips that Shifty_J was called with to avoid confusion and make it clear that this thread is for solving this and nothing else. The audio in the voicemail for the # is to be solved in another thread.

Shifty was the first to call #415-670-9198 and leave his # as a message. He then got 30+ calls from an unknown number, one about every three minutes. Soon those calls started playing audio clips from the LG15 universe. Here is a list of the clips:
shifty wrote:I'll edit this later, just posting what I've got so far (Copied quotes from the LGPedia):

Call 1: Bree: You know, they took...all of our money and...I mean, Daniel had a hundred dollars in his pocket, but...that's all that we have left.

Call 2: Gemma: It's something I remember when I was in the South African community. It's an acronym, right? When we met people who didn't understand us, we would "Acknowledge their Position and Help Initiate a Dialogue".

Call 3: Jonas: Well the reason is that um...six years ago my parents, uh...they disappeared. They were lost at sea.

Call 4: Bree: Today we have a troubling question put before us: Do you know your longitude?

Call 5: Gemma: Bree, you know how I thought you were being followed? Now I'm worried. I want to show you something from your last video. Bree, you're not gonna like what I uncovered. I think that dark smudge is a symbol. Apparently, the symbol is used to identify someone who's called a "Watcher".

Call 6: OpAphid: Listen to your enemy, for God is talking.

Call 7: Daniel: Don't point that at me. Bree: What? Daniel: Would you please take this more serious?! Bree: How can I take this more seriously? This is a bad situation, and-- Daniel: Shut up! Just--that's it, that's all, just--that's all I want.

Call 8: Some jazzy music (I couldn't identify it, sorry.)

Call 9: Daniel: She's irritating enough when she's throwing her little boa thing in my face or she's trying to catch me on camera. Whatever, I deal with that. I have fun editing it because it's kind of funny but when you go doing stupid things like this... Oh, I don't know he said that he likes me and I can't tell my parents. Why can't you tell your parents?

Call 10: Violin music from Tachyon's video "URGENT: For My Helper!"

Call 11: PMonkey in lonesomeoctober's video "Wanker?!?": If there are things you want to keep secret from someone - stop posting them on the goddamn internet! If you stay on this road I will break you down and make you cry. Now, in the interest of munificence, I wanna extend this offer to you: You don't know me, I don't know you. Perhaps there was some mitigating circumstance surrounding your comments. If you were drunk, or high, if you just recently been hit in the head with a cricket bat - the choice is yours.

1st call - Ransacked video
100 (dollars), video is number 84, 6pm chat time

4th call - Proving Longitude Wrong
Video number 61, Clock is at 7:01, date in book 10.22.1701, boats carry 2000 soldiers
5th call - gemmers - A Watcher
Only numbers I could find for this was it was video #77
6th call - Opaphid - Adventures in Babysitting
11:10 on the clock, Its video 11
7th Call - Ransacked video as well
8th call - jazzy music ??
9th call - Daniel - Girl Probelms
This is the 12th video, tag is I got 99 probelms but Bree ain't 1
10th call - Tachyon- Not sure what viedo
11th call - Lonesomeoct - Wanker video

I agree with Minty, but I have a couple more things to say (as usual...). It looks to me like Calls 1-7, excluding Call 4, are a pretty straightforward update. After Call 7, we get musical intervals alternating with what looks to me like Tach's editorial commentary on recent events. I don't know what is going on with Call 4, so don't ask me, ask Tachyon.

At what longitude were Jonas' parents lost at sea? I'm sure he said it, but I can't stand the guy so don't want to look at his vid again :)

Blocked #? Could've been anyone calling him.

Why a LonesomeOct call now that OpAphid is canon?

I think if Shifty isn't lying, he has someone messing with him...

I wouldn't put stock in this, just a hunch b/c why would this happen right when we discover a new # with a voicemail puzzle? Just doesn't make sense.

Thanks Shasta!

And for the others: if you do not believe this is a valid puzzle, then do not post on it. This is for finding the meaning behind the calls shifty got, not to continue calling them a gamejack. If they are then they are, we will find out soon enough. But we are still going to work the clues we have.

The 2 things that have been brought up are:
A message to Brother about P-Monkey and that is where Bree hides things, or as tilting brought up, Tachyon is telling Brother not to use the internet.

The time on that clock is 7:10, and a bit later shows 7:12 or 7:13
