Got this email a few minutes ago
Well, I may have just been thrust into this game after casually looking at it earlier this month. Here's the email:

 		Just got this same email, with the same four site links this email "identififed".

And hilariously, the google ads from my gmail account have links to some news story about Guantanamo Bay. Razz

Note that the email header includes 24.5.3. On the new site, we can see 24.5.1 on the left side, across the ON of TREASON. The reversed text in the background is from The Grapes of Wrath:

John Steinbeck wrote:
Rattlesnakes! Don't take chances with 'em, an' if they argue, shoot first. If a kid'll kill a cop, what'll the men do? Thing is, get tougher'n they are. Treat 'em rough. Scare 'em.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"The Slow Slide Into Treason" leads us to Open Source Resistance, which contains 24.5.2 at the top left. There are also a couple of email addresses, listSPLATopensourceresistance.net and submitSPLATopensourceresistance.net -- I haven't sent anything yet, but I will shortly.

Most significant thing about this new site? It isn't chopped up and sent from the future -- it seems to be here now. (Potential for interaction!) According to "The Slow Slide Into Treason," the site was created in the year -15, which sure enough would be 2007.


Update:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Thanks. You are now on the Open Source Resistance email list. I don't sell, I don't spam. If you want to get off, write back with "Unsubscribe" in the subject at any time.

Welcome. There are more of us than there are of Them. Let's make that count for something.

 		I just tried to email the bureau back to explain my behavior, this is what I got back.

Friends, parents, teachers-anyone can try to shake your belief in America. Traitors and dissidents aren't stupid: some of the things they say can sound very reasonable. But...

REASON can be TREASON.

 		So glad that the players have a way to communicate with the game. This makes the story much more appealing to me. Maybe we can change the future. Smile

We need to find the person who becomes a soldier and strongly suggest that he go to college or stay home instead.

If we could do that, I would be very happy..
