I just got this mail from one Jacob Trasky:

Brett;

We would like to thank you for your participation in our Corporate Edition
ARG called "Banque Suisse ". Although this was designed for a client
group, we let a limited number of the outside ARG community partially
participate.

It is always exciting for us to have a large group participate in our
adventures. Even though you are not able to play the complete version of
5.0, we hope you did enjoy the aspects that you were involved in.

Please check virtuquest.com’s score listing for Out-of-House-Top Players
and see where you ended up.

First Place participant will receive $100.00
Second Place participant will receive $50.00
Third Place participant will receive VQC T-Shirt

If you are any of these three, you will be contacted by VQC to arrange
delivery of your prize.

Please keep watch at Virtuquest.com for an open ARG later this year.

Sincerely;

Jacob Trasky

What now? Is it over?

I receieved the same email as posted by Novocainex:

I have been working through the afternoon. I was able to contact jerry
and things are moving along. He is on his way to meet me tomorrow.

We agree that the only way to bring this to a close is by accessing
the complex financial net. I am attaching a file we were able to clean
up from the flash drive, but the contents are encrypted. I am hoping
it contains complex information we can use.

I appreciate all your help....

Emails and contact from Characters

You may have noticed the workpad site has been deactivated....
I guess I could make a new one, but they would just shut that down too.

Currently I am in transit and using a ciber-Cafe as my means to
contact. My cleaning lady was able to retrieve the flasH drive,
however I was forced to abandon my orIginal laptop the other night. I
Cannot risk opening in or on A public computer. So I will do more
digGing when I arrive at my destination. Of which I have included for
you in this cOmmunication.

Many of my personal accounts are being closed or cancelled..
bankcards, cell phone service etc.....This is growing bigger by the
day. I am going to try to get Logins and Passwords to the Complex's
Net site. Hopefully then we can find out more details.

I am hoping to find jerry..... He knows some inside information
judging from his emails last month...
If you trust me.... send me a contact number where we can talk...

New Virtuquest ARG - Corporate 5.0

Casiski@forums.unfiction.com — Sat, 30 Apr 2005 04:49:43 +0000

I didn't see this posted anywhere else but Virtuquest has already begun another ARG it is called Corporate ARG 5.0... doesn't say that it isn't open to corporations alone... so...
go to here to find the first clue... most of the beginning page is in French.... roughly translated it says

--Swiss Bank--
The access,betray,resolve, and wins

then if you hold your mouse over the barcode long enough it says (in French) Begin here!

Ahhh... the start of a new virtuquest ARG!

Edit: Does any body have a barcode scanner?

Since we have made no headway on this so far I thought a new thread would clear the fuzz in our heads and stop the other thread growing horrendously long!

Info so far:

23567418 - Text message from Jerry

macsternj: We need to use those numbers to decrypt the image I sent walter last month
macsternj: some type of code or cipher...
macsternj: was posted on his workpad site

So Walter contacted me on AIM...

Svengoolie@forums.unfiction.com — Fri, 29 Apr 2005 17:04:52 +0000

And I think he got a little mad at my recent failure to follow the game. XD

hamilw: are you there?
DeliriumTriggEer: yes
DeliriumTriggEer: how are things?
hamilw: I am safe...
hamilw: Arrived late last night
DeliriumTriggEer: where
hamilw: You should already know that?
DeliriumTriggEer: should i? I wasn't able to solve the code.
hamilw signed off at 11:01:34 AM.

Figured I would share it.

Phone Message From Walter

baseball3190@forums.unfiction.com — Fri, 29 Apr 2005 02:51:39 +0000

I have been playing and lurking for two days.... received several emails.
I got my first Phone Contact tonight! :lol:

Basically walter said....

"I received instant message from "branch manager"
I do not know who he/she is? Told me several times
--"separate text strings"--"

Walter repeated that last line several times to me....

Not sure how to take all that?

Mail from Virtuqest

vpisteve@forums.unfiction.com — Tue, 30 Mar 2004 23:23:21 +0000

I received an envelope from Jacob Trasky at Virtuqest.com in the mail today.

Inside was a letter...

Michelle,

We would like to thank you again for your participation in our Semi-Open Mini ARG called Minority Report. This was originally designed for a client, but we decided to let the outside ARG community participate.

It is always exciting for us to have a larger group participate in our adventures. Even though you were not able to play the complete version of 4.0, we hope you did enjoy it.

Attached you will find a small token of appreciation / reward for your involved game play.

Please keep watch as Virtuquest.com does have a major open ARG planned for later this year.

Sincerely;

Jacob Trasky

YAY! A new Virtuquest ARG!

Precrime by vitruquest

bill@forums.unfiction.com — Mon, 22 Mar 2004 01:29:05 +0000

Is anyone else working on the precrime ARG(?) by virtuquest located here ? I've solved the first couple of puzzles which led my to a posting on the AdvancedPhysics.org site.

the posting is as follows

Only a Sly Fox could interpret:

We received this communication from the Precogs late last night. It appears more information is coming in about the impending event. We believe the information below deals with the possible suspect or victim. Unfortunately, the three Precogs processed the information differently so we ended up with the sequence below. Please use your abilities to process the the information.

ROGER THE CLIPED

CATCH EL

b v x u p a m v d u r c g a g i w k i o f z b i w k r k j w m l r w s p z o u v d

Contact us at the original email with results.

So far I've drawn a blank on a solution :( . My only observations are
1) the posting was specific to me so the word "Sly Fox" may be necessary to the solve.
2) the word 'the' appears twice in the last sentence. Is this a typo?
3) there are 41 letters in the last line and since 41 is a prime they can't be rearranged into an evenly spaced grid pattern.

Any help welcomed
