Due to being awake at all hours of the morning, I feel the need to point out one thing in the email. He says his father worked in the government for six decades and he died at 67... so he started working when he was 7?

I just got an email from adminSPLATmysteriouspriest.com

Quote:
Hey Kat,

Sorry if you get this email twice or anything like that. This email's been really funky so far. Anyway, the website's done! (as you can probably tell from my new email address) Can you believe it? Woohoo! I'm not sure why Xelloss wanted it up so badly, but well, I guess he'll be pleased when he gets back. Whatever his plan is, and whenever he does manage to get his demonic butt back here.. It's been months since he left for his world. I'm starting to think that he won't be back for a while. At the very least I hope he's kicking dragon ass.

<3

Sae



1) There was nobody in the "To:" field of the email, but several "undisclosed recipients" in the CC field
2) Obviously, my name isn't Kat >_> Nor am I female in general.
3) mysteriouspriest.com appears to be a fansite for an anime called "Slayers" (Which I've watched a few times, actually. Kinda interesting) Haven't really checked the site out fully yet.

Anyone else get this?

I think the Mysterious Priest thing is a game.

You can't always tell. That's why we have this thread! To get others opinions or see if anyone else got it!

Has anyone came across what was mailed to J.C. Hutchins yet at http://jchutchins.net/site/2008/05/21/videopdf-down-the-rabbit-hole/

He posted a video and pdf on the link - The PDF is at http://media.libsyn.com/media/jchutchins/rabbit_hole.pdf

I have no idea as I searched for his name here and did not find anything last night when I searched.

I think this might be a trailhead but I'm not sure. Another set of eyes would be appreciated.

subject In the beginning...

For a thousand years the two sides have struggled in the daylight, in the darkness, blinded by anger and devotion to a pointless cause.

Only after the lost ones are found can the real struggle be truly won.

The stage is set, the pieces are moving, but the doors wield locks for which there are no keys.

In time all roads shall be visible through the haze.

Until then, seek the heart that weeps and the fire that burns.


Edit: Nevermind, I found the thread this belonged in. Embarassed

Based on my cursory search, this is likely to be a 'spam test' to see if the email bounces, and especially if you respond to it. Spammers sometimes now save themselves bandwidth by sending shorter bogus email to test for the 'bounce'. I've had this kind of thing come along, and be followed by spam.

@Euchre I didn't respond because I wanted to hear a second opinion. And since I'm new to ARGs I really need a lot of second opinions because there is so much to learn about ARGing. Thanks for spam warning
