 		Anyone else get this email from lordofthevortexSPLATaol.com? Sounds like a trailhead to me.

My name is Parker Williams. I'm an author, and an investigative journalist. About three months ago, I learned about a supposedly fictional government bureau called the Department of Paranormal Research. I did some digging, as one is wont to do. And I may have just dug my own grave.
There are currently two people threatening to break down the door to my apartment if I don't open it for them. If I don't make it back by the day after tomorrow, I'm sending out this e-mail to get the word out. Spread some anarchy, that kind of thing. If you think you can help, here's my link.

Translated from the German, its "Search and You Will Find."

There was an attached photo

The file name was "strom.jpg"

Translates from German as "river."

Is this related to any game? Does this character sound familiar to anyone?[/img]

 		Here's an odd one...
I just got a PM from former Toomer GCDOA/MerRabbit-

MerRabbit wrote:
Hey Tygr,

Long time no talk, but I don't know if this is anything or not, and I don't have a lot of time for anything until after September, but I was using stumbleupon the other day and came across a board called abovetopsecret.com, where there was video posted to their boards, http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread374889/pg1

That's the first of three, there is some stuff hidden (read the thread a little), but I was hoping you could pass it around and see what the Argers and cfers think, and then maybe shoot me a pm back. Hope your wife and daughter are well, GC


Weirdness- ARGish? Or is someone playing a prank that got the ATS kids scampering?

 		First I thought this was totally penis spam but now I don't know:

Quote:
Subject: Hello
From: "Hart Salamine" <hartsalamine>
Date: Fri, August 1, 2008 09:14
To: lisaSPLATsilverladder.com

Mistaken
I don't know better
What do you miss about him?


Anyone? I sent an email back that said "Who are you" figuring it was just as cryptic as what they sent Smile I am leaning towards it going with EklipseGlobal and they are referring to Angel or Hernando but I don't know...

and googling brings up this a page at thoughts.com with a profile started yesterday...

ETA: hard salami or whatever replied to me asking how i was communicating with them. So far this is just assinine. I told him his name makes me hungry for meat products Smile

 		Received an email from Hart Salamine too but different. Here goes:

Saving dreams
For darker nights
We're coming soon
We're starting fights

This mentality
Above all else
Must be what killed you

 		I wrote to him asking himthis after the email I received:

Quote:
WHo are you? When are you coming and a fight for what? And what about my mentality? So many question with so little answers...could you clarify things for me?


This is the answer I received:

Quote:
So many people, so much anger, so many deaths. When our interactions are riddled with violence and power struggles, it becomes impossible to grow old and die of natural causes. All deaths are now pronounced death by violence.

Of course I didn't mean I was coming anywhere, I meant that those who are violent are coming soon, to where you are.


So here what I wrote back..if I get an answer I will let you know...and this all seems real weird to me lol

Quote:
And where would I be?????? What did I do?????? WHO ARE YOU???? and all I know die from natural causes o.O So this seems all so weird for me


EDIT: already an answer:
Quote:
I'm sorry, I don't mean to upset you.

I don't know where you are. Heaven? Hell? Somewhere on Earth?
