Edit:
As Leyton Stone pointed out, D-9 has its own thread over here
My apologies for posting in the wrong thread (and failing to use the Search function)


Anyone tried to call the phone number listed on the D-9 ads?

Just tried. Multinational United hotline. Option 1 is if nonhumans have escaped District 9 and are violent. 2 is careers. 0 is representative. They also give you a link to here. I'm looking over the page now.

[Leyton Stone]

You guys should both know this isn't the right thread for that sort of discussion lol. Besides D-9 already has a thread of its own here in N&R

[Atropanocturna]

Not sure if this belongs somewhere else, as I have not been on uF in a while. Just got this email:

Which translates to:

THIS - IS - BIG – BROTHER

Potential Housemates,

You have been chosen to participate in this years Big Brother... However the house can only hold eight people at this point in time. The first eight people to respond to thisisdotbigbrother2010atgmaildotcom stating "I would like to be a housemate" will be chosen to enter the main house doors.

Good luck, potential Housemates.

-Big Brother


I sent the reply.

[RAD24]

I just got the Big Brother email too, don't know if I'm gonna respond or not

EDIT: I did

I suppose you're waiting to start a trailhead once you get confirmation...

[catherwood]

[kosmopol]

I setup my webpage, where I accumulated all my virtual presence places. There is also a contact possibility with a form system. (I thought, it could be cool way to get trailheads one day).

So today I've got the first contact mail send through this system. It looks very ARGish and since I haven't got any SPAMs till now there I think, I'd share it with you.

[thebruce]

Well I'd certainly say argish...
The poem (directly quoted from your post - did you re-type the text? Or are the typos in the original email?):

[Psysop]

@thebruce: Typos are in the original mails.

I got basically the same email as kosmopol with the differences stated below:

[israfel070]

Just a thought: "Read the message its words are wise."
Maybe some missing letters/intentional typos? River Tam style?

T (distand)
E (pow'r)
D ("abie" the time)
O (vict'ry)

[Rogi Ocnorb]

Possibly something to do with "APRENDIZ" (maybe on YouTube?)?
Based on most of the first (capital ) letters in the rhyme.

[kosmopol]

I'm in contact with the Rabbit Black. Well, kinda...

I wrote him a cryptic email:
