VindicatedEagle may have a new lead for us:

Have any more people received this e-mail not already mentioned in that thread?

I received it too. I'm not playing this, the only place the email addy used is listed is in the contact thread in META.

Looks like the PM is on a new recruitment drive! If you are on the contact thread, that's where your addy will have been pulled from. The more the merrier, I say!

OK, I seem to have been pulled into this for some reason... I wasn't playing before I got this email a bit ago.

I'd really rather not go back through and read 28 some pages of information just so I can catch up on this game the PM wants me in on...

Any chance someone can do a quick summary for me and the others like me who just got this email from monkeyhacker04? thanks...

Kosmopol has set up a wiki:

http://www.argwiki.de/index.php5?title=Ehasver

That should be easier to go through!
Thanks for popping across!
Very Happy

It's a pretty involved gamejack... although I don't really know what this game's style is. You guys would know better than me.

So you guys don't know m0nkeyh4cker04 yet?

And I'm having a tough time nagivating that wiki for some reason... no idea, and all of the instructions are in German and I don't speak it well enough for this haha

Looking at it, and I retract my gamejack theory. t83 site, which is oddly all a flash, and I got the internet police webpage to come up (haven't noticed anyone mention it here?) and it's set up the same way as the others, with our m0nkeyh4cker04 on it. Definitely connected.

http://internetsurveillancedivision-en.t83.net/#/knownaggressors/4529181102 leads to a list of known aggressors that the internet police are after. Have we looked for any of them?

ETA: Googled all of the names and got nothing IG. The one that's not in English letters turned up a lot of results, but I have no idea what any of them mean. What shows up on my screen as error blocks seems to translate to Fatherland? ཕ་ཡུལ་ put into Google turns up a Wikipedia webpage about Tibet with those characters found on it in this sentece: "Tibetans refer to Tibet as a "fatherland" (Tibetan: ཕ་ཡུལ་; Wylie: pha-yul)" We had an artifact there, didn't we?

No, we don't know him.
Instructions for getting the Wiki in English are on the first page:

Quote:
To change the interface into English: Open Einstellungen/My Preferences and change the dropdown menu labelled "Sprache der Benutzeroberfläche" to en: English


And you are right, if it is a gamejack it is pretty involved! And extremely against the rules!

I get what looks like Hebrew from one of the names : شىنجا
Anyone recognise it? Or is that what you meant was Tibetan? Yes, the "Jade Tomb Artifact" Is in Tibet.

EDIT: The writing is definitely looking Middle Eastern, some form of Arabic?

EDIT: Oops, double post. Soz!

I'm getting the hang of this now... haha. OK so I guess that wiki hasn't been updated in a while, if you guys have already found artifacts.

Quick timeline? Anyone? Smile I'm really interested... this looks good.

Sorry the Wiki hasn't been updated! Basically 01 sent us some photos from a man called Gendo's appartment. From those we told 01 where to go, but someone had got there and picked up the artifact first. But they dropped a phone which, guess what? Provided us with more photos! We sent 01 to Mexico, but as far as we know he got stuck in Shanghai airport by "bad guys". He told us we were on our own, but gave us a website to look at:

You can catch up quite quickly from there as it's the last post on page 25.
Hope that helps!

OK, I'm still a little confused as to who Lucia and the other facebook people are, or how we found them, but that's OK.

As far as hunting down this angle of the game... those cute little anime cops are legit?? Does that mean the chinese web police are really watching m0nkeyh4cker04, or has our PM adapted their picture for the game??

How about the monkeyhacker (don't have the energy for L337 right now) saying he's only 7? And I'm thinking maybe all the spelling / grammar mistakes are a kl00... maybe missing letters spell out a word or something?

Lucia was on one of the photos provided by 01, we are trying to find her. We were instructed to find Apolly, who then found us by Facebooking players who had Facebook accounts. We don't know if she is entirely trustworthy as yet.

As for Monkeyboy being only 7, that could mean he is 07, an agent like 01? The fact he makes an issue about spelling etc could indeed be a kloo!

The anime cops are unexplained yet. Veebee found the real existance of these mascot - kinda Chinese net-censure. But in which connection do they stay with our story - no clue at the moment.

The facebook people we find in this way: our anonymous 01-agent sent us an email to find Apollinariya Lazarev. Somebody (I have to check out, who), found her at Facebook. She had a friend Gendo, and we was really suspicious about him, because his conversation with Polina (short name for Apollinariya) were too authentic to be between a character and player. So now we know, Gendo is IG.

Who is Lucia Fernandez and where should we find her - no clue. At the moment.

But short said - you have great opportunity to enjoy with us the game of a Puppetrmaster, who became kinda cult here, hehe. Because of his (or their) great imagination, design skills and cool communication. Smile
