Its been a fascinating night OOG and IG


Pali posted a new message...

Scared
I found Dengo's blog.
I'm scared.
I don't know what to do.

More later.
For now, I need to think... Hard.

How long have you known?
Please, email me. "

Dear Pali,

Fear is a normal reaction to change in our lives, right? you understand that, for sure.
I cannot tell you I understand what going on. I dont know anyone that does. But you gave me clues, and now I gave you the same clues back. And you found a way.

But it is YOUR way, your life. i'm just an observer. like a reader reading a story and being able to interact with the characters... It is your life and you can take control of it. Remember what we were talking before,and you said you are the super power strategist Smile you can do this, this is your life. What will you do with this information. what will be your move?

and... you know, i'm here to help. We will make it be alright.



EDIT: In the meantime, I'm talking to Dengo on his blog on EMA our way, telling him to trust his friends, that they will understand, to give him a last chance to talk to Pali before she finds out.
"you may wait, but everyone around you moves"

wow... I am really liking this ARG thing....
... now... i'm out. see ya all tomorrow...

 		You have a nice way to say things, IXBalam.

@Mods:
I hope we get promoted to "CF with Potential" soon since putting all information in one thread is getting confusing.

[EDIT] For some reason the chat is down for me. Someone else has problems?
[EDIT] restarted Windows. Now it works again Confused

 		Here is an email from ema

Quote:
Application Process – Round 1

Dear Applicant.
The requirements for round 1 of the application process are below.
They test what EMA believes to be the most important qualities in its employees.
Good luck!

Reference Number:

Complete three of the following:

What is the middle name of at least one of your great-great-grandmothers?

Find the closest tree to where you are located. What species is it?

How many shops in your local shopping centre serve chai lattes?

How tall is the tallest building within a one kilometre radius of you?

Please show your full investigative process for each question you answer. It is this process that EMA is examining, not the answer itself.

Answers due 9th January 11:59 pm, GMT

Note: You may attach photos, scanned documents, etc. as necessary.

 		We made a few adjustments to the Paulo email and sent it to Alex Turner
Quote:
Alex,
I do not understand why the United States do not act as they should.
Why do they suddendly want the Hamas to bomb Israel?
You know that it is important that peace between Israel and Palestine is not an option.
If there will be peace there would be again a chance that the Red Sea - Dead Sea canal will be build.
In this case the decline of the Dead sea will be stopped. Which is bad for the chemical industry there.
You also should know that we could loose our contol of the freshwater of the Jordan River if Jordan, Israel and Palestine will work together.
I do not think I have to tell you what it means for EMA to loose the money of the chemical industry and the fresh water control of the Jordan River
I think you really make a bad job in the United States. Look how fantastic I organaized the Anti-Israel demonstration all over the Islamic world.
If you won't get the United States government reacting in our sense I would suggest EMA to substitute you with someone you is suitable for this job.
I thought perhaps it was Paulo who was not doing his job but he said this "It's Alex you should be angry with. He has the easy job in this issue, and yet, he cannot organize anything practical."
Ahmed


Edit/AUZ noticed this line
Quote:

Should have said....want the Hamas to NOT bomb Israel?".
and now we are in chatango thinking we are definitely being monitored by the CIA by this time. Rolling Eyes

 		Email reply from Alex Turner. Seems like our mistake even fasten the process of the flame war:

[quote="Alex"]
Ahmed,

Contain yourself, please.
You are using this address again?
America do not want Hamas to bomb Israel, you should be aware of that.
You know that I am fully in control of what is going on here.
You are aware that America's pro-Israel stance will only cause Hamas to be further aggravated with Israel, as the "western way of life."
Did Paulo make you write this?
I have no doubt he did, although you may deny it.
I know how he feels about me.

Regarding the coded message:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Rot-16 reveals:
Aketay ymay adviceway, eathebray orfay ourselfyay. httpay://auway.outubeyay.omcay/atchway?vay=gtPAY8rday8OXMWAY4& eaturefay=elatedray

First I deleted all the strange "ay" or "way" if there is a vowel before:

Aket ym advice, eathebr orf ourselfy. http://au.outubey.omc/atchw?v=gtP8rd8OXMW4& eaturef=elatedr

Than for some words the last letter has to be put at the beginning (not for all! for "breathe" there are two?!)

Take my advice, breathe for yourself. http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=Pgt8dr8WOXM4&feature=related

Unfortunately the link does not work. There should be some other trick for the video ID


EDIT

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

If you also delete the "W" in the video ID (even if it not fits to the rule with thevowel) and don't vhamge the order you get an id with 11 letters which is a normal for youtube:
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=gtP8rd8OXM4&feature=related

This is also a valid ID which fits to the "breathe yourself". Nevertheless I do not see any relevance.

 		Harry Potter Reference
Since we still have only one main thread I try to keep things structured by double posting Wink

I Asked Jib about the Harry Potter reference. Seems he does not know much about The Triangle:

Jib wrote:

HP3?
That's pretty damn funny!
I don't know what it could have to do with them.
Could be some sort of identity check, could just as easily be an in-joke (ok, not tops likely...). We don't know.
Better obscurely and vaguely reference it somehow in your reply, and see what happens.
Dance around it, and hope for the best. If it is an identity check, hopefully you can fudge it. If not, it won't matter.

AUZ505 wrote:

Dear Jib,

I forgot to mention that the attachment was a tx. file with the name "Lmrvk Psftid Tldei.txt".
This decodes to "Harry Potter Three.txt".

Do you know what this could mean. Could it be some kind of hidden identity check.
Perhaps if we do not use the right answer reference, Paulo would know that we are not Ahmed.

What do you think about it?

 		Good job on translating the Pig Latin AUZ. Smile

I emailed Pali letting her know that no matter what happens we are all here to help her, this is her reply
Quote:
Hi!
Your friends have been telling me a lot of things, and some of them were easier to here than others!
I appreciate you all trying to help.

I've been doing a lot of thinking, I've decided to trust Dengo too. He's our friend. I think he'll do what's right for all of us. But... I've decided not to tell the others about his blog. I don't think it will do any good, and it might do a lot of damage, especially to Kite.
EMA really don't have our best interests as their top priorities, as I am beginning to understand.
It's weird, because, I am effectively a prisoner here, and yet, this is my home. EMA... is kind of like family. But now they're...
It's weird.
How far is it ok to go to protect the environment?

As for your other thing, I don't know if it will be such a big problem (screwballs).
But we'll see, I guess!

Thanks!

The bottom part about screwballs is talking about SPEA. I have told her she can't type it out. Wink

 		Flame War - Answer to Paulo
waitress and me made up an answer for Paulo (see attached txt file)

using the Pasword EMAEMAEMAEMA this decodes to

Quote:

Paulo,

sure it is me. Or do you think Farren will contact a simple man like you personally.
Agreement? That was when I thought that you could do your job better. Maybe I overestimated you.

I think Alex is much more intelligent and maybe he was right, when he said, that it would have been better that you and not the Chinese guy would have died in the "accident".

Alex even things about having a Line instead of a Triangle. So be warned.

 		This is our reply to Alex Turner
Quote:

At least it seems, that you could do really much better.
And I do not like your jokes about smoking.
You should know that in the poor countries wood is used to dry tabacco.
For example, in Tanzania, it is estimated that each kilogram of tabacoo uses at least 65kg of wood.
And you know that Tanzania is a main base for us.
I sometimes wonder if you bought your PhD in Ecology.
Maybe Paulo is right, when he said, that it would have been better that you and not the Chinese guy would have died in the "accident".

Well..
this is the thing i sent.
i kinda faked some stuff

Quote:

Find the closest tree to where you are located. What species is it?

the closest tree in my location is a red oak that is planted in my backyard. when i saw it, i knew it is some kind of oak. i googled oak that is near my location and i found out that it was a northern red oak (also know as quercus rubra).

i have attached the picture that i took.

How many shops in your local shopping centre serve chai lattes?

well in the place where i live the shopping centre only has one coffee/tea shop and the other shop that sells bevarage never sells coffe/tea. since there is 3 shopping centre here and each of them has 1 coffee/tea shop, i assume there is 3 shops that serve chai lattes. (1 from each centre ). to confirm these, i called each of the shops and asked if they serve chai latte. all 3 of the shops do indeed server chai latte.

What is the middle name of at least one of your great-great-grandmothers?

i was pretty close with my great-great-grandmother on my grand-mother on my mom's side. her full name is illuminad t. salonga (same last name as me [single mom])

the t. on her name stands for tumbaga.

i would have attached a document about her,but all the documents concerning her are in the philippines.


sorry i cant attach the file that i attached in the email because im in school right now
