In case you haven't noticed, this thread is simply a place for me to keep track of the Nintendo DS underground ads/clues. There are people from many other forums that have checked out my posts, but know one has of yet signed up for the TMK FF and posted.
I was going to post a summary of the clues thus for, but there is a great one already at:

Clue 2
Dean: You're lost in the woods of a city, and you know there are others there. But how do you know they're there if you're lost? I know the answer.

Dean commented to Marionette refrence

Just so you all know, the origins of the marionette girl have nothing to do with it, Originally the words were 'set me free' instead of 'find me' -- so perhaps that could be a clue in itself.
I needed a marionette figure, it has nothing to do with the original image in any way (although the modifications i made to it, were perfect for the chosen image).

Pagerworld Filed March 2004.
Some snippets:
1. A global positioning system (GPS) cartridge for use with a game machine having a processing system to execute a video game program and player controls operable by a player to generate video game control signals, the GPS cartridge comprising: GPS circuitry configured to determine position based on signals received from GPS satellites; and a connector that, in use, electrically connects the GPS cartridge to the game machine so that the position determined by the GPS circuitry is usable during execution of the video game program.
18. The game machine according to claim 17, wherein the radio circuitry is provided as part of a pager cartridge that is removably attachable to the game machine.
[0044] If pager cartridge 100 is within the geographic coverage area of paging system 101, pager cartridge 100 receives the page and processes the message embedded within the page. Generally, pager cartridge 100 also includes a vibrating or beeping mechanism to inform the person carrying the pager that he or she has received a message. Pager cartridge 100 may itself be configured to communicate messages (visually and/or aurally) to the user.
[0096] In one implementation, the user of pager cartridge 100 becomes a player in what will be referred to hereinafter as PagerWorld, a virtual community for the network of all users having pager cartridges 100. Players are represented in PagerWorld by a "persona character" and it is this character that all other PagerWorld players will see, for example, when messages are received. Over time, this persona character will become ever more unique to the particular player. As players interact with other players in PagerWorld (e.g., by sending messages and playing games), players will share the fin and excitement of discovering new items, skills and appearances as their persona characters gain experience.

Clue 8
****** width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center">***> ***>Quote:****> ****> ***> *** class="quote"> krypt0nian: Chad posted these lyrics from a Modest Mouse song called Custom Concern this morning on the N-Sider boards.
It's on the album "This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing to Think About".
"Their custom concern for the people
Build up the monuments and steeples
To wear out our eyes
I get up just about noon
My head sends a message for me
to reach for my shoes and then walk
Gotta go to work, gotta go to work, gotta have a job
Goes through the parking lot fields
Doesn't see no signs that they will yield
And then thought, this'll never end
This'll never end, this'll never stop
Message read on the bathroom wall
Says, "I don't feel at all like I fall."
And we're losing all touch, losing all touch
Building a desert"

Orbiting pods, underwater domes, We fill our tankes with oxygen to step outside our homes. Once it was hard, now it's just routine / And I can't tell the difference between people and machine. Love was a problem for our ancestors; It's not such a problem anymore. Breeding as a science proved it has no use at all / And it mostly disappeared when we eliminated war. There's comfort and control, it's safe for you and me. News from the surface shows how hard life there can be. Why live in danger? Why live with pain? People from the surface find it hard to explain. And every little thing is strictly monitored; We're given everything we need. Fed by I.V., we rarely need to sleep - There's no pointless dreaming and our happiness is guaranteed.****> ****>*******>

Clue 11
****** width="90%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center">***> ***>Quote:****> ****> ***> *** class="quote">The Halo Benders just happen to be one of my favorite bands. Although it would be equally truthful to state that certain individuals with a propensity of communicating through virtual violence wear masks. It seems that a great number of individuals crave technology that gives an individual a false sense of intimacy. Producing just enough communication to get the job done while stripping out the intangibilities. If you had the chance, would you demand convenience give your humanity back? Or would you rather wallow in a series of virtual places, paying as your life passes on? Life is about choices, live it and make your own. Don't Live and have them made for you while you pay.

Broken Chairs your body conforms to. Out beyond the quieted garden. You can bring the man form into trust. Through the holes in my everydayness. Lends sustenance where starvation's necessary. Cause my brain's a dictionary. Of long spring days and the speech of crows. Who themselves are mirrors of apprehensions. In the fallen sun. Alright. You can make it stay
