 		New game? Am I the only one? "Missing Name"
Hey ARG.

I used to play Chasing the Wish, but faded in and out of participation due to a shift in my lifestyle, which is why I'm posting here.

The about 2 weeks ago I got an odd email. It was very cryptic and looked like just regular link-spam to begin with, but I've opened it up and it's quite ARG-like. Any ideas? Here is the email:

(I'm supreme_foolSPLATmsn.com).

First of all, I tried emailing the address back to see if I got a response. My email bounced. Then I noticed that it was sent using a mask, from a yahoo.com hub. Odd.

I de-binaried the subject to get: "Talk"
I went to the website, listed the clues in order and listed the background letters in order to get: RAMICCCOHGTRA.
I then found the dates relative to the clues and arranged the letters in chronological order to get: ICRARAGCATCOM.
I searched for Port 9000 (clue14, highlight the page body). It appears it's used mainly by a Microsoft game called Asheron's Call.

That's pretty much all I have, and I'm stuck. It seems to lead nowhere. I was wondering if anyone else would be able to help me.

Thanks in advance,

Adam Mason

 		Also, I forgot to mention, this site helped me find the dates (and is also suspiciously identical in the descriptions):
