 		I'll see if I can get this together tonight. I'm going to go back and grab anything that looks like an interrogative from the last few pages. Once I've sent it I'll post here and I'd suggest anyone who wants it directly to send an email to John's address after that (or PM me and I'll include it when I send it).

 		OK, just to let you know I dropped the ball and have now finally sent the email. I'll let you know the minute I hear anything back.

ETA
OK, a little strange. I received a blank email back with this subject:
STATUS: DECEASED Re: Post game questions
I sent the message to John's email address, which is where I assumed we were to send it. Curious.

 		I got it! Thank you, John. Smile

People, how will we deal with the information? PM? EMail? Post here? Or have you also got the answers?

 		Maybe he meant the Junker email when he said "the usual J email".

 		Cool, MrToasty!
Thank you for posting this.
The thing is, I've also got answers, but a little bit different, so I'll post it also here:

Quote:
ATheNA was the chemical compound where 'memory RNA' was stored. The name 'ATheNA' was chosen was because according to Greek myth Athena was born from the head of Zeus.

Verdandi was the actual activation password for the machines.

In Japanese the word 'Koi' is also short for Koibito, which means lover. It was hinted in some emails and chats that one of those that went through experimentation was actually the fiancee of Yori Tanaka.

KOI was also the experimental codename for the development of Athena.

The Junker Corporation was composed from the former elite of East Germany and the remaining of the Illuminaty in West Germany. Both groups merged into one and used the name of the Junker Corporation as a cover. They had an umbrella of companies to finance themselves as well as acquire important materials. For example they had a company in South Africa. The location of this company was in a well known Uranium mine, which was used for the Aurora bombs.

Who played the Yori character? She didnt want her name to be out.

Pisces II was the only satellite that went off. It was activated prematurely as a last bid by the corporation to use them since they were being destroyed.

(as a side note, i was not aware of the whole oceanic flights thing until too late, our video editor has been taken care of...)

The Blacksmith CD contained videos, blueprints and information on regards to the Junker corporation and their plan.

X was the East Germany General that was seen a few times.

Ok now i have to explain a few things and mix ups.
This game IMPLODED at the very start. It was meant to be a Local ARG, but most of the locals never understood the concept. In fact, the whole thing came to unforums unexpectedly for us.
So we did not want to leave the small community of followers there (and another one on Korean forums) to have played for nothing. We also did not want to see those that helped make the videos waste their time with an implosion.
So the majority of the game on the forums was not planned at all. It became an experiment of sorts. It worked, so the same concepts will be taken to the next game.

V.I.T.D. will be launched towards the ARG community from the start, so it will not have the initial problems of Con08.

V.I.T.D. will have nothing to do with the plot or characters of Con08. Even though it could seem that way in a few aspects. It will also be far larger, and hopefully of better quality. Which is not much considering that it will be grassroots too.

So when is the game going to start? this email should be a clue that i am not busy working on it. Wink

expect it very very very very very soon.


Well, I'm waiting for new trailmail Smile
My spam folder could become my favourite, hehe.

 		META:

Actually, the whole thematic and historic backgrounds are awesome! The authors worked really professionally. So starting Wiki would be great for the next time. And I will mobilize our German ARGians from Patmo to cooperate the next time.

 		Well I'm looking forward to the next one and will be eagerly watching my various ARG email accounts. V.I.T.D ? Voices in the Dark maybe? Or is that a bit to obvious hehe.

Even though they say the game imploded for a second time, kudos goes to XIII for hanging on in there, even if the end product wasn't exactly what he would have liked, lesson learnt for next time and hopefully we'll end up with an even better one.

 		In terms of the wiki, we could even get a jump start on that now since we have a "name" of sorts for the new one.

And remember if you happen to get lucky on a trailhead, be sure to let us few that hung on to this in on it right away Very Happy
