If you’ve found yourself here late in the night of Nov. 20th or early morning Nov. 21st, it’s likely because you found yourself involved in my little after-hours texting thing.
Thanks again for playing along.
For fun – I’ll try to post a few stats here on after-hour participation, if I have them.
Some months ago (or years?) there was a story on the interwebs about a couple of guys who played a long and elaborate hoax on one guy.
I would really like to find this, but I can’t seem to find any references to it.
Here’s what I (think I) remember:
- The guy the hoax was played on was contacted via a video game forum (he was young – maybe 17 when it started, 19 when the hoax finished)
- The hoax involved emails, mail, fake identities, etc.
- at one point the guy was flown somewhere and led through some forest trail or something under the premise that he was saving the world
- the guy the hoax was played on had a great attitude about it — a quote from him went something like: “I had fun and would be available to save the world again if the need arises”
