This post was made by the creator of the "Save Alan Richardson" ARG. It states the following:

"Okay I think it's about time I revealed ALOT. First Off I just want to share my thanks. I didn't think something this simple I composed in my head off a whim would become so popular on here. I'm not going to give away my name but I am a Sous Chef/Aspiring Independent Writer from Devenshire Massachusetts (Go Figure). The ARG's Official name is indeed at the moment "Save Alan Richardson". For Players: Thanks alot for enjoying what my imagination has fabricated. I tried many different things through out the ARG to move players in different directions. For The Chosen: Good job being In-Canon. Your roles will are solely for secret purposes that are going to be revealed over the course of the ARG. Just to answer this common question for the hell of it none of you are going to die. An In-Canon Character is. To Answer Some Questions: What is the Purpose of The Song Of Time The Song of Time Will Reset The Counter On http://www.onlyonewilldie.webs.com What will happen if someone doesn't play The Song of Time? I suggest No One Tries To Find Out. Long Code On The Thread "---" I'm going to give in simply because it was a small message. its ASCII-Caesarian Shift-Hex-Binary-Hex-Binary-Italian. It translates to a date that a "Burning" is going to occur. What is the next "ARC/Chapter" going to be about? I'm not giving that away. But due to the success of this ARG so far it IS going to be more interactive and I did actually purchase some things to go with the storyline. My friends are going to be involved and I think you'll enjoy it. This is a very special announcement I felt the urge to share we've been gong back and forth every once in a blue moon but I felt the urge to share it with everyone:

''That was my first reply from Alex Hall. Yes I may indeed be working with him on ARC 3. He hopefully will be reviewing some of my work soon.'' Thanks everyone so much for the support. I can't wait to continue this ARG further. Don't worry everythings still going on in the ARG like a well-oiled machine. Expect the next part to be happening soon. To Fellow ARG Creators, This isn't meant to sound pompous but I did notice a large spike in ARG's created after I posted my very first thread. An ARG is actually something you need to be devoted to. I have the time and the boredom to do it and I have a job to pay for whatever I need to improve the ARG. If you read definitions of positions in an ARG you'll learn more. It IS something you need to be devoted to. You need to be mature, have a large scale imagination, good creativity and an open mind. Put your imagination into it. Thats what leads to success. Also, No, I cannot answer any questions about ARC 3. I don't know anything about it nor do I know the password to "???"."

In summary it confirms the creator being involved in "ARC 3" of the BEN ARG, thanks the players for being so involved in the "SAR" ARG, Answers some common questions and gives a small, brief bio on the creator.

Marking his accounts' 100th Post on Within Hubris, The author posted another OoC Update.

"''Hi again everybody!

I just wanted to give another thanks to the players. You guys are doing quite well with the ciphers and what not. I do hope you found the ending to ARC 2 entertaining. I don't mean to imply anything but I was quite proud of myself that the "distraction" had worked. I actually didn't think it would. You guys surprise me all the time. The wiki is quite amazing. Special thanks to CursedGaara for maintaining it so well. Good luck on learning coding while you're working on it man! I'm not going to reveal much about ARC 3. I will admit that you guys triggered it yourself from not playing the Song of Time though. Things are going to get intense and more interactive. I'm slightly disappointed I couldn't make it to the Q&A with Alex. I still maintain keeping in touch with him but i'm very curious about the movie i'll admit.

Good luck everyone

P.S. Just as a note the reason this is being posted is because it's Sage's 100th Post''"
