The riddle was basically;

"You sit on it, but you can't take it with you."

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Chair


This seemed to give him a clue whereas to find more diary pages.

I did email Junker/ES, but no reply, either they don't consider me a serious threat, well they must do having Sheffield on the list, even though I'm not there hehe, or I've got them royally confused somehow..

Oh, he did suggest maybe emailing Junker and ES, not sure why. And he doesn't think they have track of everyone, just the ones they think are dangerous. The rest they seem to be ignoring. So, if you're not on the hit list, looks like you have to carry the torch after the rest of us have fallen. Wink


Sweet, that must mean they consider me dangerous too, instead of just an idiot. I mean, I'm sure I'm the only one in my town that plays ARGs Wink

Still no reply from my last converation with Junker. But I'm coming up with another plan with a (different, and definitely nicer) friend in case they reply.

Cool.

And, for those of you who missed the window of opportunity to see the launch, here you go. (EDIT: actually found the original, use that instead)

OK, people, what's the matter? All sites are down, and no news? Where are Junker? (And I'm living now, hehe, although I was the first in the black list...)

Time to be offensive?

I'm also in Bryan/College Station, TX. So maybe I'm on the list; maybe it means John only. I'm not getting any e-mails, so it's probably not me. Although I did submit two posters to the ATheNA contest.

My internet went down about the time of the Pisces launch and has just now come back. I'm sure it was just a weird coincidence Shocked .

What's next?

Speaking of weird coincidences, I saw this on Digg about an hour after Pisces launch:

I suppose we are just waiting on John/Yori now to see if they find anymore diary pages and the data from the CD he got.

Patience... (Yeah, right Smile )

I would expect that John will post the diary page in the next day or two, and his friend is supposed to have the videos and whatnot from the CD ready by mid-week. He suggested emailing Junker and ES. Not sure if we should assume that all email sent to X via the login/password on Junker should be presumed to have been found out. If so, I'd email from that account and see what happens; if not, send from another account, but I don't know what to send. Is anyone that did NOT send email to the special Junker account on the list? Ooh, just thought of this - maybe the person inside the organization that has been posting the secret pictures on the sites will intercept it and contact us?

I was looking back again at the seemingly unused clues. Looking at the meaning of the two tarot cards, Death is representative of bringing something to a close, while the Fool is the beginning of a new phase. Couple this with the zodiac calendar labeled with Pisces, this all could be interpreted as the Pisces launch ending one phase and starting a new one. Who knows if that is what we were supposed to get out of it though. And that still doesn't explain the hippos. Confused On top of that, we had one project on the Junker site that was never revealed as well as one subsidiary.

I've just written to Junkers, said "what's the next?"

And got the next second the answer:

Hmm. Can you post the header from the email? If it's a totally IG thing, then it's possibly due to them removing themselves from the internet. Otherwise it's because Junker recognizes you as a security hole, has you marked for death, and has no reason to keep you in the system. Smile

ETA:
Way to go John! Recieved mail from Yori's account:
Quote:
No, this isnt Yori. you wont believe me, but somehow i was able to figure out her password for her email. Nothing important other than a lot of koi fish pictures that people sent her.
I did find something on the drafts folder. It was just a link.

http://yorishappydream.mfbiz.com/

Well I have changed the password just in case. Still cant find anything from Eric, and the CD is still not open and no news from the British newsperson or Russian contact.

~ John.


British newsperson?

Anyway, the quote on the page is from this

I got the email as well, only just had a chance to check as I am on lunch at the moment. Obviously the email was received on the account/identity used for contacting Yori, not the one I used for contacting John & ES/Junker originally. Time to confuse them, as well as myself Smile

If you dunno what to send, you can help me try to convince VI that he seems like a lonely person and we can get him dating lessons if he quits being a Junker XD

Most likely will fail, but the PM ought to get some lols out of it Very Happy

Do we know who accounts for which locations on that list? I believe I may be one of the Canada ones, even though I have been relatively low key in this.
