Hello can anybody hear me?  Hello?  This may be my only chance to help you and I do not know how much longer I can hold on to my own sanity before I am consumed entirely by this CONtagious Plague.  I cannot reveal my name for fear of  retaliation, but you must trust that I am trying to save you from my fate.

The Bard Virus, or TBV for short, is a CONtagious Concert that will happen soon in Jacksonville, Florida at Ancient City Con IV. The symptoms attack all five of a con-goers senses and is known to be cured primarily by spreading it.  Additional cases have been found in Saint Augustine, Florida and as far south in the Orlando, but not as concentrated as The Greater Jacksonville Area.  For three years now they have waited to introduce live entertainment and are fairly certain that they have found the antidote in the three groups gathered: Sci-Fried, Fields of Glass & The Consortium of Genius for the TBV Concert. However until they can use their findings on an actual group of the infected, they cannot be certain if this actual test will prove to be a cure.  Which is where you and I, the infected, come into play.

TBV is not very specific about how it spreads: tweets, wall postings, word-of-mouth, myspace posts and even sharpies on napkins, but it does have a limit to how big it gets.  We must find this so-called number and cure everyone infected.  If you don’t believe you have TBV – You Do!  Simply by clicking to spread it has put you amongst the many already infected.  I wish I could tell you more about the multiple symptoms of TBV, but I have not been privy to that information.  All I know is that I am in Phase III of its dormant state and if I reach Phase IV, it will no longer be dormant and I will know them all.  You were infected only moments ago which means you are in Phase I, so I employ you to do your part to spread it and I will do my part to put the word out as well and maybe together we will stop TBV from advancing.

The counter below will be your guide.  It will disappear when the virus is no longer a threat and those infected should try to attend CONtagious: The Bard Virus Concert on July 10th to purge the remaining anti-bodies out of their systems. I have so much more to tell you.  Oh, I almost forgot, the number you need to get to is – - -
