I'm also doing some checkup on Lucas Meeks. Just for time saving purposes I can tell you that any Lucas Meeks page you may find with the name Sevakordran in it is most likely NOT the Lucas Meeks from aol.com. I actually know him from a way back and it wouldn't be him. When I did a web search on the name, every web page that popped up related to my old friend. hehe.

I will look up a few other avenues. As I said in the previeous post.. please check on Lucrecia's three other friends on Orkut if you have an account.

I'm still waiting to hear back from Robert on that invitation to Orkut. If Robert's too busy, maybe I can get one from Fog?
I'm really eager to get on there and fish around.

In the meantime, I was running searches on Lucas Meeks and came up with your pal over and over and over again. That guy's everywhere! (and has some sick facination with furry dragons? Shocked )

I also searched on Lucrezia Ricci, and found out that Christina Ricci played Lucrezia Borgia, the popes daugher, in a movie. She was a baaaaad girl...probably not a lead, huh?

Please invite me to Orkut, anyone?

I know the one who likes the furry dragons... an old friend from WAY back. He's an artist (a damn good one), and was big into RPG's and dragons and furry cartoons (silly animal cartoons... see http://iapw.keenspace.com/ for more info on that. No.. he's not a sicko.) Rolling Eyes

I find it wierd that random ARG investigation turns up someone who I knew a few years back. What are the chances of that ? Shocked

Anyway..

The LucasMeeksSPLATaol.com address is not a lead. It's the email addy belonging to Cyfre (see page one of this thread). I guess it's back to mind numbingly deciphering that barcode number to figure out where it leads us and also trying to get Orkut accounts.

But Cyfre was signing his emails to Tholmhbe as "Nathan"...and would he be willing to just leave his email address in the post like that for everyone to see? Notice that everyone else is removing there's when they cut and paste an email header in.

Cyfre, if you're still on the case could you shed some light on this?

I think Cyfre just forgot to delete the email addy from that post. We have to concentrate on that number code and getting into Orkut to look around.

I really want to get a look at Tolmhbe's other three friends listed on that Orkut site.

Maybe our mysterious benefactor, The one who mailed the email saying "Don't trust her !" will be able to send us something to point us in the right direction of figuring out that code. I mean.. someone is obviously pointing us to her for a reason. What's her game ? What is she up to ?

Isn't she "out of town" today?

I mean, for a while? Right? Her flight was cancelled but it was rescheduled for a few days later...so maybe she can't even respond.

Okay.. I've decided that 0822162710052 is a form of Modular Encryption and am attacking it that way. I've gone through the tutorial http://www.unfiction.com/dev/tutorial/mod.html
And I got completely lost in the seccond part. Confused I'm going to need someone to sit down with me who does math well cuz I stink at grasping wierd math concepts. Confused Anyway... I think that's what the code it and I'm hitting it from that direction.

How about we also take a look at all the email riddles sent. Maybe we can find a meaning in them if we stick them all together and maybe they'll point us somewhere...

Maybe seeing everything together will help us figure it out...
Confused
Here comes a spider under my skin. It was rain and rain and rain
washing my clothes clean. Only they weren't my clothes. How clean
can a soul be? Beautiful soul, leave me alone.

Rain. Rain. Rain. This is not a game.

Go ahead says the spider. Spider ahead says my head.
Rain rain rain. Where are you today? tic-tic-toc used to say.
Rain pouring down on the glass, will'o'wisp dancing the night.
And you were. Just. There.

This is probably just a test. Or maybe not. Surely this is not a game.
It can be an email. Intangible are those electrons moving like drunk
ducks through my toughts. World is shattering and shards of reality
are punching and tearing at my dreams. Is that liberty? Or just marble.

Cubes, only cubes pouring from everywhere. And the rain.

Don't. Trust. Her. Nathan. Confused
(Nathan of course being Cyfre)

What is this person talking about ? Could they be trying to point us to a site with this ????

Hi Guys,

Had some difficulty with my PC over the weekend. Sorry.

Blacklight - I have sent you an invitation. The poems seem worth investigation, but I am still working on the barcode. I did take a crack at the modular encryption too. I wrote a program to search all possible intervals if mod 27 is being used, and found nothing. I am starting to get curious about the odd number at the end. I was thinking that the 2 might be some kind of offset to the code, but I have not finished investigating this yet. Then, I will alter the program and search mod 28. I will, of course, post the moment I get anywhere.

Joknatson - I sent you an invitation last week ... the morning after you asked me about it. Have you not yet received it? I have read that it sometimes takes a few days for Orkut to process a new invite. Email me if you don't get the invite in the next couple of days. On my Orkut screen you are listed as a friend who has not yet replied to the email.

Fog - You suggested grouping the numbers two-by-two ... may I ask why you suggested this? Any thoughts on what to do with the single digit '2' at the end?

Robert

game but iT is not a game for me.. So, please, eXcuse
me, but I do not want to receive more mail abouT that.

Lucrezia


These is deffinitely some kind of mystery in the capitalised letters.

The letters are MBOXTXT which could be the name of a text file
MBOX.TXT or it could be code.

I have to run off to work, but I did find this site.. It may be what we're looking for..

I just looked at the number and noted that by grouping the numbers two-by-two you get only numbers less or equal to 26, like an alphabet. Ok, I know this is quite naive and even wrong because of the 27. When I noted the 27. Oh, and about the last digit, my tought was that it can be either just the number '2' or to be completed by something obvious like '0' (because it is also the first digit). Vey naive indeed. Sorry.

About halfway down that web page is a mammoth block of code (8 printed pages worth ! Shocked ). I'll take a stab at it when I come back from work. This code looks like it's going to be scarry to decipher.

What are you referring to Blacklight? I am not sure what block of code you mean ...

I see a few stray Ascii characters at the bottom:

+żż% (= 43, 168, 168, 27 (i think), and 37)

Is that what you mean? Or are we seeing different versions of the same junk text?

Robert

Sorry to jump in on the end here Smile - I think Blacklight is mistakenly looking at the wrong file. Here's an upload of the one Robert has found, just in case it gets removed from the server (similar things in Urban Hunt have made me paranoid Smile)
