[EMAIL/SITE] A Journey
Emails from A Savior

So, after taking a long break from the ARG world, it reaches out with its far-reaching arm and drops one on my lap.

I received these emails...

Quote:
A Savior
23-Jan (3 days ago)
Every novel, every encyclopedia of knowledge,
Every thought that has ever been shared
Began with a single page
I have a page to share with you
An encyclopedia of a different type of knowledge.

Join me.
I am a savior.



Quote:
*me* to A
25-Jan (1 day ago)
Yes? Tell me more.



Quote:

A Savior
to me
18:30 (29 minutes ago)
The answer is in the page.
Because a page can be magical.
Blank, it is just wood.
But with words,
A page can be a link to a new world.

-A Savior



Quote:
*me*to A
18:40 (19 minutes ago)
How do you plan on sharing this page with me?



Quote:
A Savior to me
18:49 (6 minutes ago)
I have shared the page with you already.
In fact, I have shared two pages with you.
I know what you must be thinking,
And the word page does not refer to the pages of text I have sent you.
But those texts do contain the page.

Do you still not understand where it is presented?
Perhaps you will soon have an epiphany
And the answer will click. Just like that.
Isn't that how we solve most problems anyway?

-A Savior


I caught on and the word "page" was a link in the first two emails (hence the entire line being underlined, to hide it)

It links to...

I'm not seeing anything in the source, and it doesn't appear as if there's anything clickable on the page itself. Nothing hidden, as far as I can see.

I think we need to play with the URL

In the last email, he said he'd shared two pages with you. Did both links lead to the same site?

That's weird - I've had the exact same emails (well the same first two - I didn't reply to the second so I haven't got the third). I'd assumed it was something to do with Deus City, which I just started playing, but I guess not now. I'm clueless as to what I'm meant to be doing though.

Oh and yes - both emails link to the same site.

What does not kill us...

hey there.

The line "what does not kill us makes us stronger" is a famous quote by Prussian Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.

As to where "there" is, i have no idea, but similar tactics were used in the infamous notpr0n game.

It should be referring to another site, accessible only by tooling around with the URL.

Do you believe that what does not kill us makes us stronger?



Quote:

I most surely do.
But, then again, does it?
Go there to find out.

-A Savior.

I'm stuck good on this one. It says that the answer is IN the page, and that with words the page can become a link to a new world. The problem is I cannot for the life of me think of what words we're supposed to use to do that.

It's got me stumped too. I've tried many variations of URL all to no avail Confused .

Out of curiosity - has anyone else been singled out for attention by A Savior other than audioslave and me? It's just, I'm not a high profile player here, or anywhere else for that matter, so I'm really surprised that someone's trying to recruit me to whatever this is.

One thing that struck me on the site was that the all of the words in the first line are capitalized but the rest only have the first word capitalized?

Anyway, if it's supposed to be a riddle...association with the Christian Jesus perhaps? As a savior. The stab from the spear didn't kill him?

echidna, I took a look through your previous posts and I can't find an ARG that we have in common. We seem like utterly and completely random candidates.

I sent another email asking if they were religious to test your Jesus theory, degravity

EDIT: Whoopsie. Just realized I didn't include our savior's email, naughty me.

Yeah - I did the same thing Wink . It's all very random. Should I feel special?

I've tried asking him what it is that he's saving us from - after all, who said I even wanted to be saved - but no response so far.

Interesting puzzles!

Now, why is he calling himself "A savior"? Why not "your" or "the"? Also, why did he sign his first post with "I am a savior". It's unlike his others.

Plus, his first email sounds like it's refering to the Bible. But...which bible? Of course, the obvious answer might be the christian one, but you never know.

Just my two cents.

I beg to differ, dposse. First off he mentions a novel, not something people tend to do when they mention the bible. He also says he has a page to share with us, perhaps he's interested in creating his own "bible" of sorts.

What started everything, in the eyes of people who believe in a savior? the bible. What is the bible but a novel and a collection of knowledge? of course, i'm not saying that it is, i'm just stating a possibility.
