Hey Dave,

It's Scarlet. What's going on? What was this invention?

We need to talk

A response from Dave.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I can't tell you through email. It's not secure enough.

I will phone you tommorow


EDIT:
A response from Scarlet

Dave, what's going on? I'm so worried about you

Got an email from scarlet:

scarlet wrote:

Hello there,

I believe that Dave has sent you emails regarding the Young Inventors
Competition and I also hear he gave you access to his EliteMail
account. It seems you have been chosen, so I feel I can trust you
enough to tell you this.

As you may, or may not, be aware, I was recently attacked by the same
men who attacked Dave not so long ago. Saturday afternoon, they got
Dave. They've kidnapped him. All for this stupid invention. I don't
even know what it is. I can't go into too much detail but my mum got a
call around 9pm yesterday asking if she had seen me and if I was safe.
She called me as soon as she got off the phone.

The Young Inventors HQ has been bombed. One body bag was removed. They
think it was me, but it was the cleaner. Not that it makes it any
easier to stomach. Just imagine what they're doing to Dave.

My god, I'm literally sick with worry. Dave emailed me (at knife
point) asking me to take over the competition. I will do so when I
have time and also when I feel I can. At the moment I'm just so
numb...

I miss Dave


I think the ball has started rolling....

The site has changed as well.

There is a new picture up on the front page (attached) other than that the site is clean (so it seems)

In the source the following comment:

Can you guys make any sense out of this all?

Greetz,

Draghkar

Here's the email Scarlet was talking about:

Subject: Re: Ricky's "weapon"


Scarlet,
The people who stole the invention are standing right by me. They
have a knife to my throat. I am typing only what they want me to say.
They are taking me to a location which I cannot reveal. I need you to
keep the contest running for now. I can't say more. Goodbye.

I love you.

Dave


and her reply:

Dave,

I'm just come back from the police station. I got attacked. They were asking
if I knew how to use Ricky's "toy". I'm sorry I wasn't in to get your call,
but they also cut my phone line. I'm at the library.

God, I'm shaking so much, I can barely concentrate either.

Come see me.


In the source code of the main page of the Young Inventor's site, I have found a comment that says
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
childress 1


Everytime I go back there and view the source, the number after it changes. The same thing goes for the source code that

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
cogley

appears in. How would this work, and what does it mean? Are they passwords for sites, emails, stegged pictures, or are they something else entirely?

The site has changed a little..

Scarlet is now telling us that she has no experience creating sites and tha things may be slow..

I think I will send her an email later...

Greetz,

Hi there,

this seems interesting.

I just sent Scarlet an e-mail offering my help. I had a good excuse to offer my help, since I am a patent attorney and would thus be capable professionally to judge inventions.

Will keep you posted if I get a reply.

Greetzz

While checking out the related sites further, I reviewed the e-mails that were posted on David Tolomy's elitemail account. A few of them are to/from Harry Rogers at inventnationSPLATgmail.com.

It appears that http://www.inventnation.com does exist and it is so strange, that it seems to be in game. It is, however, peculiar that the name Harry Rogers is not to be found on this site (the site seems to be set up by a Dan Provost).
I tried to play the music/video which is featured on the site, but couldn't get it working on my (business)PC.

Further, a lot of information could be gathered from Ricky's e-mail account (rickyrickyrickySPLATbluebottle.com). I tried to enter under this name, but the passwords 'ricky' and 'little' were refused. Anybody some ideas what the password can be?

Hi,

did get nearly immediate reply from Scarlet,
but nothing there to invest further. She said thanks and would call on me if she needed further help. No word about Dave (although I had hinted to Dave's 'problems' in my e-mail).

On another level I have been googling with the name of Dave Tolomy. Not only was he part of a previous ARGish thing in spring of this year, Project Emotion, which seems to have bleeded death, but also he appears to be interested in weird things: he is member of the Above Top Secret Conspiracy Community (http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread117652/pg1), and you will also find his name mentioned (without any obvious reason) on http://www.prank.org/pranks/member-descriptions-vt42399.html.

Strange things altogether. Could this be the sequel of project Emotion?

Although this is my 4th post in a row (which I admit is very unusual and should not allowd Crying or Very sad I am inclined to bring some new life into this could be ARG. If it is, the PM(s) is eager to continue, since they respond quite eargerly. Day after my last post I received an e-mail from Scarlet with the following text:
Hi Bartmans!

I do know of Project Emotion. This was a failed attempt at world domination! Joking. The men are only after Ricky's invention, which they can not find. I believe they have access to his email, that's how they found me. I've heard through the grapevine that Mr Rogers has been attacked too because he was the first to receive the invention. I am not in direct contact with Mr Rogers so I can't be sure.

I seriously have no idea what the invention is meant to do. I don't know why they're keeping Dave, but the police have had some new information (apparently) and they are close to finding him.

As soon as I know, you'll know Smile

Thanks for the mail.

Scarlet x

Thus, there seems to be a lot going on in the game of which we are currently unaware about.

I would like to have the help of some of you to get any further.
Questions I have are: is it prudent to use Dave's e-mail system to mail to get in contact with the above mentioned Mr. Rogers. I would like to have your opinion first, before I start e-mailing from Dave's account.

Oh and btw: all of you Merry Christmas
