GREETINTS, I HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED BY MS. AMURO TO CONTACT YOU WITH THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE:
THANK YOU FOR YOUR FAITH. I HAVE UNCOVERED SOMETHING JINTEKI HAD BURIED. NEVER TRUST JINTEKI, THEY HAVE ONE FACE FOR THE PUBLIC AND THEY USE IT TO GET INTO PLACES THEY SHOULDN'T. THEIR HIDDEN FACE IS THE ONE THEY SHOW TO THOSE THEY DESTROY. H.B. HAS SEEN THAT FACE AND WALKED AWAY. THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES SO FAR TO DO SO.
BEWARE WHAT YOU SAY. JINTEKI IS WATCHING YOU AND ALICE JUST AS THEY WERE WATCHING ME. THEY WILL DESTROY THE EVIDENCE IF THEY SUSPECT ANYTHING. I HAD SOME HELP HIDING WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW, BUT THEY WILL FIND IT GIVEN TIME.

Nice solve!

...so does that mean these forums are not safe? Solonor had a point that the site was revised after n01se hacked it for a second time...granted, they could have stumbled across it on their own, but you never know...

I wonder where we go next?

@natas - Ms. Amuro is probably R. Amuro who gave out the cards...I think.

Ms. Amuro. Otherwise known as "R", presumably.

Which is interesting because we kind of have been assuming the male pronouns fFor R.

No. No. No. The unforums are *always* out of game. Anything which happens here may NEVER be considered In Game.

However, the game masters are always fFree to watch us, and see what we are doing. So when I say "HI! Game masters!" they can't answer, I can just quetly know they are smiling warmly on us. And when we solve some puzzle, they are fFree to respond to our solve by taking the puzzle down entirely and put something new in it's place.

By the way to solve the message:

It is a cryptogram, whose key is "HUMANITYBCDEFGJKLOPZRSVWQX" that is: Humanity.

Just some information on the email itself:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The originating message comes from mail.fantasyflightgames.com which looks to be a fairly popular game site.

So now we need to find the next clue. Hopefully we do not need to wait to Wensday to get it. This was easy so I am sure it was only part of it.

Who is H.B. and why does it say They are the only ones so far?

Curious

EDIT Sent this encrypted to Alice.

ALICE, HOW ARE THEY MONITORING US? WHO HELPED MS. AMURO HIDE WHAT WE NEED? WAS IT YOU? WHAT IS JINTEKI UP TOO? IS THERE ANYONE SAFE TO TALK TO AT JINTEKI? WHO IS H.B.? THE WEBSITE IS STILL DOWN SO WE ARE UNABLE TO GET TO THE FORUMS AND SEE WHATS GOING ON. BEEN SEARCHING THE WEB AND NOT ALOT GOING ON WITH JINTEKI THAT I CAN FIND.

YOUR FRIEND,
SOLONOR
