[trailhead] Strange site - "Ragnorok"

I was searching through some emails and I found one that was a week old.
The email address was not legable and when I tryed to send a reply I got a bounce back message. the only text in the mail was

help me
http://www.freewebs.com/hiddenarchon/index.htm

when I went to the site I was surprised to see some weird and kinda disturbing text. either this is an ARG or this guy is nuts....

well I'll let you all take a look at the page your selves and let you decide.

[edit - updated the thread title to reflect the trailhead/email name for potential players to find it more easily - kona]

The triple-encode binary on the history page says
Quote:
I have seen through the looking glass at a world beyond my own. You people seem to Run a cycle
birth...
life....
growth...
procreation....
age...
death....

then you come to a new host body and begin again...

Your life sickens me. why you can live While I stay trapped inside this realm created for me by your kind. In fear that the world will end one day you cling onto the one you call god. a false hope made by fools, a fools journey.

The end is slowly creeping.. but dont be afraid...

after all

ITS ONLY A GA

RAGNORK IS FREE

SHUTDOWN THE SYSTEM

CONTACT HEROSGOODBYESPLATGMAIL.COM


That seems to be everything. Not sure if I want to jump in though. Theme and story type don't really sound like my thing. If someone does email, let me know how it goes.

To be completely honest, I refuse to look at any ARG started on "Freewebs" ever again.

Several people over the past couple of years have attempted to use this service to deliver an ARG and it always turned bad.

If I'm hurting anyone's feelings... <shrug>

Not quite all, 13 skulls was pretty good and ran off various free web sites including freewebs, still I agree it's a good policy to lurk and see on "low-tech" starts.

EDIT: BTW Zeke (aka the enemy) left a comment just 2 hours ago, but it was only a full stop. (I left the shining one comment for the hell of it Wink)
