New email from Eric, I asked who the Raven was (digging to see if Scribe is a spanky lil mole):

Quote:

There is no raven. There is only Nevar as far as I know - from what little I know. Interested to see how people found out about any of this at all. I want no part of it anymore.

Nevar is a name? Hmm.

[tipsila]

Um, yeah, I see that now... sorry.

[Scribe]

Sorry - I discovered what the "code" was - see this post - but I think I was gibbering too much to make it clear enough.

The "code" is my PGP public key, taken from this page. Purpose of quoting it to me? No idea. I've mailed Eric back suggesting that he gives me a public key of his own if he wants secure comms. (Otherwise, anybody could decrypt stuff I'd encoded with my private key.. I think...)

(Addendum): The Raven reference ("Nevermore") was a comment I added years ago. I'm hoping that's another (spooky) coincidence. You can check the key by going to the openPGP server and searching for "exmosis".

Uhhhh, WTF. This game just got odd. Informatics at Sussex Uni is my old dept - did CS & AI there, still know a fair few people. They do a lot of evolution stuff.

Think it might be PGP encyrpted or something...

I tried Base64, too, and found just a tiny piece that translates:

I had previously remarked that the newspaper (http://www.6op1libra.com/ap_isltimes_527.jpg) had bleed through text. This is nothing, apparently - the actual image is generated from http://www.fodey.com/generators/newspaper/snippet.asp which includes the text as well. Thanks to MasterCheese for the find :)

Scribe, is Jan 18th your birthday?

18th, yes. January, no. I think that's a coincidence.

FWIW, the text about janus now at 6op1libra.com is taken from this page which was linked to from my contact page.

We had known about the picture, but the correlation to the newspaper is new. Awesome.

Palmer could refer to my earlier post: "http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/medialog/entry/the_culture_of/ mentions "6op 1" in a comment posted by "Palmer Eldritch", which is the title character of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three_Stigmata_of_Palmer_Eldritch. The comment is left on a talk that posits "Is genetics the new religion?""

[Scribe]

Umm, yup. Runtime switched names to Magpie about a couple of years ago. Giles Palmer is still there. They generally have nothing to do with gamestuffs.

Urrr. None of my contacts on IM are responding. I'm kind of hoping I haven't made someone's game difficult all of a sudden... *gulp*

Is that data matrix?

Another change on the http://www.6op1libra.com/ page. New graphic.
