I might be wrong of course but something tells me that "Korporation" mentioned in the e-mail is actually this http://silverladder.despoiler.org/index.php?title=The_Korporation

and Spades refers to same old activity (Korporation had a meeting with 2 of clubs)...

2,3 and 4 of spades have been revealed: http://silverladder.despoiler.org/index.php?title=Spades

This looks like a sequel to Silverladder If my guess is correct.
Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.


Throughout the whole thing there have been loads of references to loads of previous games. I think this is one of them, though I never played it! Thanks for the link! Very Happy

The image is rather cuningly done - if you flipt hrough channels in photoshop you can see that everything but the cross is done in red channel... without red it looks like a cross shining in the dark... This might be insignificant but might also be a reference to blood... and the way to salvation etc etc.

As for the winged shape around the cross - My guess would be that it's a seraph http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seraphim#Seraphim_in_Christian_Mythology

Though... it has way too many wings for a seraph if we go nitpicking...


Seraphim in Hebrew means "flaming serpents." In Judeo-Christian tradition, the Seraphim are the order of angels who surround the Throne of the Presence. They appear by name in the bible only once, in the vision of Isaiah:

"... I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple. Above him stood the Seraphim; each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew."

The Seraphs are also referred in the apocryphal Book of Enoch, and are associated with the "fiery serpents" who assaulted the Israelites in the Book of Numbers.

A seraph is most often depicted as one to four heads surrounded by six flaming wings, often covered with a multiplicity of eyes.

In magick, they are associated with the Sphere of Geburah, the spere of justice on the Tree of Life.


I think thisoughta be the right track since the e-mails are coming from Israel and we have the cabbalistic Tree of Sephiroth - Machine of good in the center which the Seraphim are also connected to...

Most of the picture has been looked at in the first few pages of the thread:

The winged thing behind the cross is a Seraphim btw.


Have a quick look to save yourself some work. It is great to see you are thinking how we are thinking, and there are some images we haven't identified yet, keep it up!!

Greet work everybody!

As far as I know, Cherabim / Cherubim / Cherubs have eight wings.
They are "second highest rank in the angelic hierarchy, below the Seraphim"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherub

UPDATE. I still wonder, why I haven't got that israel-mail...

Was this part of the e-mail?

I'm starting to think game-jack for some reason, but then that was the mood surrounding the 7 year old's mail, which we do now think is IG, I think.
Hmmm Confused

EDIT: It looks like we have to put the mails together, so far to me it is looking like a threat to us? Like " We're from the Korporation, we think you are hacking our site, desist or we will press charges and kill the children"?.....

I'm agent 95. This is extremely awesome. I'm trying to get caught up and figure out the scrambled emails at the same time!


Veebee: Yes, that was the last thing in the email!

Welcome! Very Happy

We can start with trying to understand the jumbled mails I suppose. I have a feeling that they are meant to be read together somehow.

No Bad, all good!
I have to go out for a while, but if no-one has responded to your request I'll (try!) and fill you in a bit more. BTW, have you looked at the wiki?
Very Happy

Do you think the sender's name is the key to unscrambling this? In poetry rhyme schemes are designated with letters: AB AB CB AB etc. If we break his name down into letters and then assign numbers to each letter:
Aa
E
G
H
Ii
M
Ss
T

1 1
5
7
8
9 9
13
19 19
20
So far this has gotten me nowhere, but I thought I'd post it in case it becomes useful when we get more fragments...

i was looking at something like that, but came unstuck pretty quickly. Unless we can overlay the mails somehow? They seem to have spaces in different places....

To be perfectly honest I'm Flounder ing with this one!

EDIT: I am currently looking at all of the words in each mail, to see if the individual words make a coherent sentence. Bleurgh.!!

Sorry for the double post, I thought it would be easier on the eye. This is the list of all of the words in the 4 e-mails we have so far:

Quote:
to so please Korporation if desist the exist you attention will of press and charges that come our what stop allow cease we kill children Spades have being it this He do bunch tried allow yet know help thinking mail point Ace Clubs need we're deck a hacking has regarding bit into information about agree be together from needs think spoken on site but Korporation's calm do some shall scrambled come Dear not


Not sure if it helps at all, but there it is!

EDIT: After all that, have we thought about just looking at the capitalised words? Rolling Eyes
