As per current conversation on IRC, this email seems to be snippets of emails that have been sent to Dana since her troubles began.

Ones we've identified so far:
Marc (Temporis) - "problem quite interesting", "forte", "odd behavior"

Indigo (weyrdchic) - "Just wanted to say", "cry for help", "No idea who", "I'm part of", "but I wanted", "some of the messages"

Eve (irongoddess) - "I wanted to find out more about ordering"

Where are the "voodoo" references coming from?

(damn my inability to login to IRC from the office. Stupid firewall.)

weyrdchic again: "get many people angry"

Ikkarus,

Try http://www.marthasboardinghouse.com/cgi-bin/irc.cgi

It's a CGI IRC client martha just recently installed. Usually can get around firewalls with no problem.

In any case, the whole idea of using cut-up version of our own emails to communicate is really damn cool!

Hmmm...

*scours the emails for phrases*

"I'm not much of an expert" is from jamesi

"keep me" is from temporis

"wanted to cover" is from weyrdchick

"I can see" is from jamesi

"warning" seems to be from one of dana's emails

"I am sorry" could be "I'm sorry" from angela, but that doesn't seem right.

"witch" doesn't seem to be in any of the emails.

Got the same email as Steve, except for the lack of elipsis before the line but I wanted to find all these people willing to help very nice. Other than that, it's word for word, as far as I can tell.

So cool to see parts of my email all over the place. Smile

Is this all just people who emailed Margaret, or are there some people who just emailed Dana but found their letters in there as well?

It actually makes sense that Margaret's email would be the one hacked; it was hers that was the one available on the site before everything started freaking out. There are a few phrases that aren't ours, though, like 'voodoo', 'witch', 'family', and I don't remember anyone using the word 'seductive' before...maybe taking out what's ours leaves the important stuff.

Note that on the "Contact Me" page, the words "problem quite interesting" now appear above the hotmail e-mail address.

I think it would be good to subtract all of the text of messages sent. Are there other messages that were sent, that were not posted to the other thread?

The only problem with trying to subtract all our pieces is that we'll never really know if we got them all. It is possible that there are people playing that don't post here at all. We'll never know what those folks might have sent.

I actually think the amalgam email we've been sent is a clue to send back our compilation of the Widow and the Queen story. The email is made from snippets of communications from us and reads as a request for more information. Specifically help with ordering messages. And the story of the Widow and the Queen is an amalgamation of communications to us from within the images.

We got the story out of it (not that I helped at all) and now I think we need to show it around.

I sent the story after I decoded it...to both Dana and LadyBee...but I dont think anything else in my email was included in the next...cept maybe the elipses which i have a horrible habit of doing Smile
