One more thing.
Why is favorite color mentioned here?
Seems so out of place for professionalism -to me


  1. Name: Matthew Kapinski
  2. Department: Management Information Systems
  3. Job Title: Director
  4. Hired: 20 Aug 2003
  5. Favorite Color: Blue

-----
edit:
I should state that the list is not alphabetized, nor the word Blue underlined -at the site.
I only did it here for emphasis of my statement

** Removed link which required username/login to view -- jamesi

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
IF you log into the site -use the following:

username: mkapinski
Pword: mustang.


I posted this in earlier post, and it was work done by a different member here [sorry can't recall ATM].
You might want to place it back up in a spoiler.
And please clean it up. Don't need to show the image tags -lol
I must have been half asleep when I made this post.

as requested, here is Michael Kapinski:

The only thing I was able to tie into the word/color BLUE is a Sagan book entitled http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pale_Blue_Dot#The_photograph- Pale Blue Dot.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3a/Pale_Blue_Dot_(uitsnede).png

it is about Earth -not being the center of the Universe -

He concludes with this paragraph:
Quote:
It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.



also,
Matthew Kapinski likes red Mustangs, not Blue.

Heh, nice work there.. Rexall (from the Argus Leader clipping) is now largely a Canadian pharmacy as well. Don't know if this has anything to do with anything.

Honestly I didn't really think to poke around in the spam e-mails, I just figured they were there for realism. Smile And I'd poke around couldlittle.com buuuut I probably shouldn't visit a site at work that might be legitimate Viagra spam.

 		So we have some references to characters which are also exist in real life:

Dr. Lewis from the Arecibo Observatory (lewismSPLATnaic.edu).
- Even though his official email address seems different he definitely is real
- Nevertheless his work and his project (Arecibo) are referenced in the IG mails

Meredith Campbell from nas.edu (meredith.campbellSPLATnas.edu)
- even though I found no reference for her on www.nas.edu she could be a real person.
- Nevertheless Meredith plays an important part in the IG story, as she has hired Michael Getz as a spy at JayBill.
[UPDATE]: Meredith mentions the "The Office of Special Projects" which really exisits at the NAS: http://www7.nationalacademies.org/osp/index.html, but there is no Meredith Campbell mentioned. [/UPDATE]

Has someone tried to contact those people? I do not know exactly what to write. It should be not a "weird" email but nevertheless it should be still clear that I am referring to star86 just in case the PM hired those people for this arg.

Another issue: We now can be more or less sure that Michael Grez is the owner of stareightsix.com. So sourceSPLATstareightsix.com and mgetzSPLATjay-bill.com are the same person.
Since Michael "contacted" us for help, should we contact him and confess that we found out about his connection to Meredith and Jay-Bill?

Your opinions?

BTW. Do we have a chat?

LOL. No, not me. Here's me:




AmazingLarry and I were just remarking how artfully non-specific "kapinski's" picture was. Like it's just blurry enough that it really could be anyone.

Proposed names real names:

1. Guy Justadude
2. Dude Justaguy
3. Guy Thatznotreel

You know, whichever is funnier.

Ok Mary Jayne [funny enough], let's look at something here.
The 'I's could be '1' [ones] and maybe we should add up how many ones have been caught so far?

or how many 'I"'s?

There has got to be more to them that we think, no?

we're missing something.
It's too quiet from PM now.
I will go to *86 wiki later and glare at it

edit:Typo's what else[/strike]

 		Metalworking Link?
mkapinski involvement
Hey everyone, I've been away from ARGs for quite a while but I figured I'd come back into things.

I just read through all of the pages here and I'm quite intrigued. So, I googled mkapinski like someone said and found a link no one mentioned.

http://www.1888pressrelease.com/southeast-tube-company-profile_6475.html

I'm not sure if it's ingame, but Matthew S Kapinski is mentioned as the
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Administrative Contact,
Technical Contact:
Kapinski, Matthew S mkapinski ( @ ) monarchsteel dot com
Monarch Steel Co.
4389 Martin ave.
Cleveland, OH 44127
US
216-883-8001


Now, this obviously leads to two new web sites,

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

http://www.monarchsteel.com
http://www.southeasttube.com


These sites are for two sister steelworking companies. Both sites look very ARGish to me... not very professional, if you know what I mean, and both have similar information (in fact, exactly the same map of locations). Monarch Steel seems to have been founded in 1934.

Monarch Steel turns up a number of google hits, most from press release services that someone with a bit of money could easily have had made and circulated. I don't know what's real anymore, and that's what makes
this such a good ARG.

So. Several options here. Is MKapinski an actual, legit technical contact who has once again been usurped for this game? Or are monarchsteel and southeasttube in-game?

 		wow, Cadiz. I'm not too far from there.(20 miles)
I think Kapinski is a common last name [polish eh?] and Michael -well very popular.
I see a Michael Kapinski Facebook too.

I don't think this is anything, but we will see
