 		[EMAIL] NAILS response from VL
This is my first ARG, and my sincerest apologies for making an entire new topic on this, however..

When I first began VaporLofts, I solved the coffin riddle and emailed the answer to the address given on the home page of the Atlanta division.

This was the response I received:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Thank you for your iNterest in VAporLofts Atlanta!

Vapor, Inc. is a full servIce reaL eState and renovation design firm with expertise in design, management, leasing and brokerage of commercial investment properties. Headquartered in the United States, with affiliates worldwide.

Currently, we've sold out for our first phase of development in this exciting new project, but we'd love to add you to our emailing list for information about our exciting second phase when sales begin for new loftspaces.

Thank you for your interest in Vapor, Inc. Renovation Projects: Atlanta Division.

Sincerely,
The Vapor, Inc. Team


Now I'm sure someone's already done this, but I couldn't find any mention of it here, and the fact that the random capitalization spells out

N A I L S


Again, I'm sure this has long been solved, but does anyone know what it means?

edit: changed subject a bit - Rowan

 		Hi, FYH. You picked a doozy of an ARG to start with!

Anyway, I haven't heard of anyone receiving that specific e-mail. However, NAILS has appeared before - on the shadow page, discussed here. I don't think anyone's been able to adequately describe what "NAILS" is supposed to mean...

PS: If possible, could you change the title of your post? "I have a question" isn't really that informative. I'd suggest "[EMAIL] NAILS" or something like that. Sorry, I'm a picky bastard. Wink

 		Hm...how did you solve the coffin riddle? I can't remember that anyone solved this, yet. Could you explain what you did?

Well, I said something about nails being the odd one out in that list of words from shadow...coffin - nails...yeah that makes sense I guess. Try it as a keyword for ClipSecure?
In case you haven't already solved the whole thing. Wink

 		Actually, I was referring to

Who makes it has no need of it.
Who buys it has no use for it.
Who uses it can neither see nor feel it.


Wasn't too hard to solve. Laughing

 		Has anyone tried to decode some of our encrypted messages using NAILS as the encryption key? Admittedly, I've been getting wrapped up in 2 other args, but it would seem our vaporpals are waiting for us to make the next move...

 		I concur with Caspian.

Activity here and on VL's website has ceased over the weekend.

I hope my fellow players haven't died or anything. Laughing




I'll go give NAILS a shot as the key.
