I just got this email:

Just as I sat on my porch watching the rain pass by
Eternaly pandering the route of the problem
Reaching for life, gasping for air
Realizing that for once in my life I've failed
Yearning for something more, wishing for love.


Highlight-> I am someone you see, but do not know.

Yeah I got a reply to when I asked would he do physical harm, I got a stupid riddle I don't want to bother posting to sponser the game, but the subject was "no" so it is just a game, Melonie was random. That is a relief.

Also thats no problem, I have a horrible habit of getting way to defensive. Though hey at least I'm glad we got that cleared up. Besides if I ever made a spam game I would imitate sherlock holmes, not saw. You gotta have class lol.

I sent him this message
"You want us to notice someone else, Why do we need
more people to notice this person?"

and this is what I got back

So that many shall survive when The Raven cometh.

It looks like an ARG trying to launch but the methods of getting it going is not what I would call the best either

Well, we have progress. I sent a message to the guy suggesting that he was a spirit, soul, or an angel. Here's the reply:

No. I am human like the rest of you. I represent something far greater. I am:

Eternaly Vigilant
Macabre
Earnest
Racontuer
Yearning

Just
Obedient
Humble
Necessitous
Sacred
Obliging
Nugatory

The first letters of each word spell out EMERY JOHNSON.

Emery Johnson, does that sound familiar to you Melonie?
I did a google search and I found this:
http://www.emeryjohnson.com/
This is a real legal firm named Emery-Johnson partners. I do not think that will help us.

I'm still messing with the internet header I got from the email. In any event there's quite a few Emer Johnsons. We'll see which one this guy is.

I asked him
"are you a shadow?"
-Quote the Raven "Nevermore"

I got this back

That is a different Raven. The one I speek of is The Raven. The one that is coming very soon to take his throne upon earth.

It was a bit of a joke and I thought it was funny.

The Raven that will descend to take its throne on Earth? ...Is anybody else getting that disturbing "cult" vibe?

hee hee. I'm suprised it took you guys so long to notice that alot of the messages' first letters spelt out words! (i noticed whilst reading the second page of this thread).

Now, for a listing of all messages we've gotten so far! Man, we need a name for this type of puzzle...i'm gonna go with... "Port-side cipher". Yes, i just made that up. Where was i?

Oh yeah...a list. Whoops, too many messages, not enough time! Well, here's one:
Quote:

Someone is coming.
Taking life.
Asking for nothing.
Forgiving.
Forgetting.
Order is broken.
Remembering a sin.
Damnation is an end.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Stafford


I'll get to the rest later, unless someone beats me to it.

You ain't the only one. Is there a facedesk emoticon? If there isn't, there should be.

EDIT: Okay, serious WTFing now. New message from, whoever this guy is.

No. I'm Nosnhoj Yremve. You had it backwards and missed the "V". This is not about who Melonie sees(I've never even met her by the way)But whom everyone sees.
