 		Your-Life
So this is mildly interesting:

My first post in the IM/Email section:

Quote:
Apparently I've been forced out of retirement.



Quote:

yourliferecruit: Hello. Is this Mrs. Davies?
yourliferecruit: Excuse me?
yourliferecruit: This Ms. Gaine for the YLF. I am trying to reach Anne Davies about a meeting regarding her journey. Please contact me when you are available. Thank you.



Quote:
yourliferecruit: Exuse me, are you available to speak now?
me: I am.
yourliferecruit: Did you recieve my message from earlier?
me: I did, but embarassingly I forgot its specifics.
yourliferecruit: Are you Anne Davies?
me: I am not.
yourliferecruit: Who am I speaking with?
me: Tyler.
yourliferecruit: Tyler, my apologies for taking up your time.
me: I am away from my computer right now.
yourliferecruit: We will meet again. Have a nice Journey. :]



Hmm.



And my second:

Quote:
Grr.

This is a little too cliché.

I swear, if Michael Adams has had a sex change...I'll kill somebody.


But let's be optimistic here.



Another IM today while I was in class.

Binary. Very unoriginal, and that's coming from the king of easy codes...me.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

never trust a stranger everyone has a hidden past changenow




I'm not sure how this person expects me to do anything without...you know, a plot.




So now I've just gotten a new IM.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
yourliferecruit: tsfo'pgydekv


I'm sure I could figure this out without much difficulty, but, well, I really want to play Oblivion.



Oh, and here's yourliferecruit's AIM profile:



Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Your journey awaits.

Start your journey into enlightenment at our website.


Spread the word to your friends so they, too, can become enlightened.

0000111011101101111011100100110110001100100


(line breaks inserted by me)



So...

We've got a website (http://www.your-life.tk, and more binary, which translates to:



Spoiler (Rollover to View):
do not let them lie to you



nothing is going to change the world



The website proves rather boring...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
We visit the website, click through the obligatory advertisements, and we're brought to a page with a rather disturbing, painting-like image titled "XII The Hanged Man XII" Clicking on the image brings up a small window which reads "Enter your password," followed by a text box which already contains the highlighted text, "Change your life." Pressing OK brings us to a Freewebs page telling us the page cannot be found. However, if the rather obvious password (listed in the next spoiler) is entered as the so-called "password," we're taken to a page with a title saying "Your- Life begins.....SOON." The page itself reads:

You have entered the Journey early.
Forget you ever found us.
We shall recruit you when the time comes.


So it looks like we may have to wait a while for anything new.



The page and password:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Password: changenow

The page itself reads:

You have entered the Journey early.
Forget you ever found us.
We shall recruit you when the time comes.



And another IM...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
yourliferecruit: Hello, may I help you?
bust them heads: Ms. Gaine?
yourliferecruit: Yes.
bust them heads: I got a strange IM from you earlier.
yourliferecruit: What time was ir recieved?
yourliferecruit: I have been in meetings since 3 p.m. this afternoon.
yourliferecruit: If it was later than that, it must have been from my assistant.
bust them heads: It was perhaps five minutes before five o'clock, central time.
bust them heads: So about fifteen minutes ago.
yourliferecruit: What did the message say?
bust them heads: Ummm..
bust them heads: yourliferecruit: tsfo'pgydekv
yourliferecruit: Please hold.
yourliferecruit: I shall have a word with her.
yourliferecruit: I apologize for the inconvenience.
bust them heads: No problem.
bust them heads: Anything I can do?
yourliferecruit: Next time she sends you anything strange, tell me.
yourliferecruit: This is becoming quite a problem.
bust them heads: Alright.
bust them heads: There's a code in your profile, by the way.
yourliferecruit: Excuse me?
bust them heads: Your AIM profile.
bust them heads: Scroll to the bottom of it.
yourliferecruit: Thank you for pointing that out to me. I will remove it immediately.
yourliferecruit: It is fixed.
bust them heads: Great.
bust them heads: Well, I must go.
bust them heads: I'll speak with you later.
yourliferecruit: Goodbye. Have a nice day.



Sorry for this MASSIVE post, but everything is happening quite fast.

 		This looks interesting... Should others try IMing yourliferecruit, or just wait and see what happens?

 		Well, since I as one person seem to have the capability to make this person clam up, perhaps we should all just wait for things to slip out. I think our friend will give us information whether we ask for it or not.

 		I just had an encounter with yourliferecruit.

Quote:
MountainGirlXD: I'd like to take a journey.
yourliferecruit: You would like to experience a life of full enlightenment?
MountainGirlXD: Very much.
yourliferecruit: We are not scheduling appointments for initiation at the moment, but as soon as a spot opens up, I will be glad to guide you.
yourliferecruit: What is your name?
MountainGirlXD: Mountain Girl
MountainGirlXD: hence the screen name.
yourliferecruit: So you would like do go by an alias?
MountainGirlXD: For now. What exactly is an initiation?
yourliferecruit: I cannot discuss that at the moment.
yourliferecruit: I shall, however, contact you with any new information about your schedule.
MountainGirlXD: Very well. Before I am initiated, however, I would like to know what I'm being initated into. Perhaps a little more information would be beneficial.
yourliferecruit: It is a life of enrichment, spiritual learning, and well balance in all realms; physical, mental, spiritual.
MountainGirlXD: Hmm. I'm intrigued to see the schedule.
yourliferecruit: And I am excited to help you.
MountainGirlXD: When should I be looking for the schedule?
yourliferecruit: I will let you know when the time comes.
MountainGirlXD: Excellent. Is there anything I should know/do in the meantime?
yourliferecruit: Not really. Although, I have been getting reports of strange messages, that I believe are from my assistant. If you recieve anything strange from this handle, please report them to me.
MountainGirlXD: Who is your assistant?
MountainGirlXD: and why would he/she send encoded messages?
yourliferecruit: My assistant is Mrs. Harris. I'm not sure. I'm trying to figure that exact thing out.
MountainGirlXD: Right on...I'll be awaiting your correspondence.
MountainGirlXD: Where will you send this correspondence to?
yourliferecruit: I will be contacting all of my clients individually. Unless there is someplace else you would like me reach you.
MountainGirlXD: If you cannot reach me via aim, you may email me at xxxxxxxxxxxxxxSPLATyahoo.com
yourliferecruit: Okay, thank you. I will be contacting you with further information as soon as possible.
MountainGirlXD: Blessings Abound


*EDIT*
I would just like to point out the source code of "The Hanged Man" page says:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The Your-Life Foundation is dedicated to providing a journey for those who want to become a stronger, more enlightened being. Come in and begin your journey...


So I guess Mrs. Harris is trying to debunk the Your-Life Foundation's claim that they can enlighten us.

 		I hit her up and had a little chat. Mostly the same as what was just posted above, but I'll copy/paste mine in anyway for the sake of completeness.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
[19:39] SamRey56: Hello, Ms. Gaines. I was provided your name and a link to your website by a friend. I was interested in the YLF and what you are offering.
[19:40] yourliferecruit: Hello. We are not currently scheduling appointments.
[19:41] SamRey56: Ah, I understand. Still, I would be interested if a spot opened up at a later date.
[19:41] yourliferecruit: Great. What is your name?
[19:42] SamRey56: My name is Jerry. Do you need my last name as well, or just the first name?
[19:42] yourliferecruit: That will do.
[19:43] yourliferecruit: Is there another way to contact you if you are not available here?
[19:43] SamRey56: Through my email address at carnage897SPLATyahoo.com, or if you meant through telephone I could provide my cell phone number.
[19:45] yourliferecruit: No, e-mail is fine. If I need your telephone number in the future I will ask.
[19:46] SamRey56: I understand. Thank you for your time, and I hope I can hear from you soon.
[19:46] yourliferecruit: You're quite welcome. I will be contacting you with more information soon.
[19:47] SamRey56: I look forward to it. Smile

 		I believe only a story is brewing. If we were being recruited into Scientology, why would we have the Mrs. Harris character warning us in code? Smile

ROFL!!!! That's too funny... Ok, so we had a chat too... here it is, nothing more than has already been posted :
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Session Start (ME:yourliferecruit): Thu Aug 31 18:22:49 2006
[18:23] ME: Ms. Gaine?
[18:23] yourliferecruit: Yes?
[18:24] ME: I hear you have a troublesome assistant... that would like us to "become enlightened"
[18:25] yourliferecruit: Oh, no. Our company is here to help you in your spiritual enlightenment.
[18:25] ME: what exactly is your company's goal?
[18:26] ME: what I've seen so far, does not look like spiritual enlightenment
[18:26] yourliferecruit: We are only in the early stages of the company, and are not beginning our services yet.
[18:27] yourliferecruit: What have you seen?
[18:27] ME: a website that is... interesting, yet somewhat troublesome
[18:27] yourliferecruit: It is not finished yet. Troublesome in what way?
[18:28] ME: the image is.... "open to interpretation"
[18:29] yourliferecruit: It is the Hanged Man, representing change. We are here to change your life for the better.
[18:29] ME: Can I ask how so? Or when your services will be available?
[18:30] yourliferecruit: I am not in the proper place to discuss the details, I am only a recruitment officer. Our services will be available shortly, I will notify you before that time.
[18:30] yourliferecruit: That is, if you want to join in our journey.
[18:31] ME: I'm curious, and you know what they say about curiosity... Oh well, count me in
[18:32] yourliferecruit: Thank you. And what is your name?
[18:32] ME: You can call me Ang
[18:33] yourliferecruit: Okay, thank you, Ang. I shall be contacting you as soon as I possibly can.
[18:33] ME: Ok, I will wait and see... I am ready for a change
[18:34] yourliferecruit: That is great. I will put you in our schedule as soon as a spot opens up for initiation.
[18:34] ME: Thanks! I hope I am available...
[18:35] yourliferecruit: Is there another way that I may contact you if you are not?
[18:35] ME: theangrybananaSPLATyahoo.com - can you tell me when your next spot might open up?
[18:36] yourliferecruit: I'm not sure at the moment. I do have a couple clients ahead of you. I will let you know ahead of time, to be sure you are available.
[18:36] ME: great, I'm looking forward to it
[18:36] yourliferecruit: Me too. Have a nice day, Ang.
[18:37] ME: You too. Nice talking to you Ms. Gaines
