I want to come at home and to meet my beloved, to kiss him, to cook him tasteful meal, to feel secured and happy every monirng and every night,live in our own house and build a very good business and have much respect in our community we live in, i am looking forward to having a partner who can help me build a very brighter future
and also be qualified to assist me build a viable investment i need somebody who is truthfully and will treat me better, i do not have any foreign account or know much about transfer that's why am seeking an intelligent husband to take the lead, if i received your favorable reply i will send you my pictures and phone number for you to communicate with me and find out more about my situation.



Are you looking for a wife? definitely spam. If you respond, you will get pictures (probably not the actual writer of the email, though). Then you will have a penpal who will fall in love with you. Then "she" will need money to get away from her relatives. And more money to apply for visa to come to America to meet you. And more money for plane. And more money for other essentials.

Love the bad translations in some areas, and good grammar in others.

My PSP's compensator was crushed in that explosion, so I don't really know when or if this'll reach you. It may come in a month from now, a month ago, some time in-between, or not at all.

Regardless... I really want to thank you guys for putting up with all the shit I've put you through, and sticking alongside me through this entire fight.

You guys deserve to know the whole story. Here: http://flameseekingwolf.blogspot.com/


Seems fairly ARG-y, but fairly not. Anyone else get this?

 		I received one as well. ^^^

I mean, how could I? She's... She's been so kind to me ever since I met her. I love her. Gah... If only she'd tell me if she still loved me, though. Why is she avoiding me like this?

June 30th post, keyword is ITWASWEIRDTOO
There I was, sitting at the top of the old tower. It was so quiet up there. It was creepy. It was weird, being there alone. Usually, she's there with me. I couldn't get that out of my head, either. I don't know why.
I started having some really depressing thoughts. Old memories, and such. Stuff I was scared I might go back to. I began to feel light-headed. I remember falling off the tower. "Well, just when I thought today couldn't get worse," I thought. I really didn't care. It's not like I would have died, and...honestly? I was looking forward to going unconscious for a bit, then waking up in the castle and convincing myself it was just a bad dream.

 		Got the same, people Smile
The tower sequence sounds very Lovecraft-esque.

I'm pretty busy now on my work, so I haven't really many time to ARG, but since they written to me personally, I'll follow it Smile

 		Hey Illy. Why are they using names from Eternety's End? Someone messin' with you? Didn't we have a reference to that in a previous game?

 		I just got this in my corporate email ( infoSPLATdlimedia.com ), which technically isn't registered anywhere but is publically visible on my website...

Subject: Eight days...

I have a little surprise waiting for you. Eight days doesn't seem too long, now, does it?

(P.S. Watch those cocktails!)


The "from" decodes to "Can'tGoTu@comingsoon.com", which I'm guessing isn't valid.

What's this all about?

 		I also received the Eight Days email. Spooky, since it's 8 days until my flight for ARGfest leaves. Not a coincidence, methinks.

 		Well if it is involving ARGFest, I hope they're aware that I'm not attending...

I'll be there in spirit, mentally slapping around the Holomove guys.

http://sparkletts.dreamhost.com/ gives me a 'Can't Connect' message, so I don't know where to go with this.

That suggests to me that it may be related to ARGfest, but is something for those who "can't go to" it to do?...
