 		I have seen this often with the menace media site. Its suddenly unreachable and then after a while it is to be reached again and then nothing is changed. This downtime is irregular.

Bad host?

greetz,

 		was just browsing through the [Analysis] Could that email or IM be a trailhead, or SPAM?

and i came across a message from riddlemask on page 9

Quote:

I just got a really strange IM on MSN from riddlemaskSPLAThotmail.com

Wondering what you guys think about.

Quote:
Carl says:
The Revolution is Coming
Larry says:
What revolution?
riddle mask says:
Be Prepared
Larry says:
Okay...who are we revolting against?
riddle mask says:
that is all



He popped in, said his stuff, popped out.

EDIT: Just recv'd another message from him pointing to this email addy snorlax_ukSPLATyahoo.com

Emailed the addy and he replied like he had no idea what it was about.
searched on the yahoo id and found a linkin park forum that points to the user sarevok having that yahoo addy. Just some quick search on sarevok and that appears to be a Baldur's Gate character. Don't know what that means...still searching.


coincidence?

Like 2 x chromosomes make a girl by coincidence. (trust me they do Wink )

Maybe 'we' are not the only ones playing. Could be thats the reason things are..... slow.

 		Following the post, Draghkar pointed out, is another post referring to Carl:

Replied trying to get more information. Will see where this goes.


Maybe this has nothing to do with menace-media. But if so, this is a really new clue for us. I PMed nomadicrain asking for some more info about that mail. I will post his answer, as soon as he replies. Or maybe he posts it here by himself Wink

 		I had a chat with nomadicrain and he told me about the second mail he recieved from Carl.

Quote:
nomadicrain:
oh okay...this is the text of the 2nd email from him, since then no contact
nomadicrain:
Dreams upon Dreams Slither Away
The lies that they fed us will allways stay

Tell him I am back.
I failed to kill myself.
I beat my future
SAC is my creation
patrol:
ok. thank you. so you are the first one who recieved a mail from carl. all others only had IM conversations.
nomadicrain:
then I got this email...I had forgotten about this one
nomadicrain:
I met me.I saw me.It was me all along.How?Why?
snorlax
He helped them right.
He gave Iris and me..well not me..the me of the future information.He played
me.
patrol:
well. those are great news then. i will post this second mail to the menace-media thread at unfictions. okay?
nomadicrain:
okay
nomadicrain:
now I am looking at the thread and I never recvd the transmisson...all my ims were convos

Those are weird, aren't they? What do you think that "snorlax" stand for? Is it really referring to those pokemons? And what is "SAC"? Maybe these two mails don't connect to menace-media.com in the end?

 		And how does Anne know Jordan? I mean why (should she want us to) tell Jordan? They never had contact. Did they?

Me confused.

On the "shall we tell": Leverage!!!! Finaly something trade for info we want/need. Now... who do we know that can capitalise on this the best? Somebody eloquent and suave.
Oh, it aint me Twisted Evil

 		Hey, i got contacted the first time. Hooray Smile

I recieved the same mail that labfly quoted in his post.
The mail [EDIT]-address[/EDIT] belongs to Carl Jackson.

I think she refers to Dr. Munchen when speaking of the fool, though i don't have proof for that.

 		Got it too.

My guess is this is the letter Anne wanted to send Carl. I'm assuming therefore she found a way to send said letter. And it's incredibly possible that she sold her soul to the bad guys to do it. What a waste Wink.

Seems therefore that somehow we've intercepted said letter.

We need to get to Jordan before Carl can then.

I don't know. Carl is in this server thing too, isn't he? Why should Anne send him an email then? She can go to him and have a talk, anytime she wants to.

There are only two persons missing we know by name: Dr. Munchen and Jin. Since we found out, Jin is female, Anne may refer to Dr. Munchen. Furthermore she speaks of a prediction that is coming true. So this is from my point of view another clue on Dr. Munchen?!

 		we need to get jordan to upload dr. munchen's writings so that we can learn more about what could possibly be coming true.. perhaps that's what we should ask him for the writings in return for the letter from anne. what do you guys think? (sorry to post this here but i have trouble getting onto IRC chat with my computer for some reason)

 		Recap and Next Jordan Communication
Hi all, I know I haven't been posting as often as I had been, work actually picked up recently! I've been following what's been going on, with a fair amount of confusion. When I wrote that huge email to Jordan, I had a fair handle on the events thus far. Now, things seem to have gotten a bit fuzzy. Let me see if I can summarize, and please correct any errors:

- Jordan posts some info about himself
- Jordan has various short conversations via email, nothing super-informative*
- Lisa is becoming more inquisitive and frustrated at the lack of answers
- Lisa wants to know 1) If anything happened at the end of the count down 2) Why Anne hasn't been taken while others have 3) Info about Jordan 4) What to do next
- Anne starts staring into Lisa's room and then enters it without permission, scaring the be-jeezus out of Lisa. No contact from Lisa since.
- Carl sends out a couple fairly cryptic emails
- Anne sends an email with instructions to relay some info to Jordan

*(Jordan's explanation of "menace-media" is completely ridiculous... I rather like Puppy's porkchop argument! Laughing)

I will gladly draft an email for Jordan, but what exactly do we want to ask him? Remember, he evades most questions and responded to my huge email with about two lines of text, both questions. Here's what I suggest: Either post or PM me with a question or two for Jordan some time today. I'll compile the list and post a list of questions with a suggestion for narrowed down.

As far as leverage goes, we must be careful. First, we supposedly established a level of trust with Jordan. If we start saying, "we have info for you, but..." he might start getting even more closed-mouth. Secondly, we should figure out who we trust here. Do we want to begin relaying info that's supposedly from Anne?

Here's where my trust is:
Lisa - Yes
Anne - not so much
Carl - not sure, probably
Jordan - on hold (Anne's communication gives me pause)

What do y'all think?

ps - i can't get on irc now, but i will try later this evening. feel free to pm me

Right person in the right place. You are right on the money. And things ARE fuzzy at the moment thats why we need some input. Only one to ask that seems to have aditional information is Jordan (mainly I guess because he hold the book. he acts like he's in the dark also.)

Valid question about now would be. What is the revolution? According to the book IF it has anything about it in it. The cryptic text is hopefully not the only thing about this major subject.

How do you conduct/fight/manouvre through a revolution if you don't know the first thing about it?

 		Jordan answered my last mail today:

Jordan

Why does he hide things? What things does he hide? I thought we had achieved a new level of trust, but I think we are not trustworthy enough.

I have asked Jordan this question in one of my last mails and he didn't answer to it.
