 		ok cool. I have never really gotten involved in an ARG because whenever i find out about one that i find interesting it is too far along to catch up on (The Lost Experience for example) lol so this is pretty much my first.

Totally know how that is. This and 'groundhog' are my 'firsts', i've lurked around for others, and posted a bit here and there (maybe 4 posts total, lol.), but getting in early makes it easy to catch up and stuff. Very Happy

Hah, the rabbit was just because I liked the SyFy alice in wonderland - Alice.
Me and my girl really liked it. Though, I think she just likes Hatter a bit too much, -cough-

As for a facebook, yeah.

Oh, I know who you were.

Guess I should say 'Welcome, black heart' Razz

Any way, off to sleep. Have fun reading up on everything. Pay attention to Vlad's messages. And if you can decode the meaning behind the last he left on my wall (Shakespeare's 111th Sonnet )

 		I'll give it a try but i'm sill currently scratching my head, I'm just trying to ask lot's of questions and keep him talking. Perhaps something will slip out or he will reveal yet another clue or riddle to solve. My reference to the Chess move was one I thought would make him scratch his head... I hope lol

 		Re the end of the binary msg:" JCC 1999". Prolly Johan Christian Cardui, V's uncle, sent this msg to his sister Annabell Cardui.

As her DOD is 11 Dec 1999 V's mother may have never seen it.

 		Haven't read the messages yet, but, this is what I got back from Vlad (I'll include the original message too, it was a few pages back, but, eh.)

From me :
Quote:
James Nichols December 14 at 8:51pm
I can't believe it took me that long to catch it. I was archiving our messages for quick referencing (I'm a bit obsessive compulsive with stuff like that.), when my spellcheck started catching things... the misspelled words were all missing U.. UUU...Periods.. See, I thought when you mentioned the Nelson number, 111, you had meant the compound of 1,1,1-trichloroethane, a chemical solvent used in the cleaning of film... I looked at it, though and thought 'what does trichloroethane have to do with anything? Then it hit me. Periods. periodic table - 111 on the periodic table - UUU... Unununium, which was the placeholder name for the 111th element on the table - Roentgenium.

If I'm stringing this together correctly, along with that comment about this being national.. Are you referring to a potential nuclear threat with the equation Ms. V has?


him :
Quote:
Vladimir Sirin December 15 at 5:03am
She has more than an equation my friend. IF she still has all the Cardui papers. If it's just her uncle's papers, then, well, who knows. I have to see some associates today. Please tell your friends [as I am sure you are discussing this with at lest two others] that I will be unreachable for most of the day. Thanking you. vii


Me :
Quote:
James Nichols December 15 at 8:07am
Well, in all actuality, there have been others who have friended me on here as you have, but the only person to message me has talked about the culinary arts and school related things. But, if they do start asking - I'll let them know. Also, I assume I was correct - but, am I on the right track with all of that?


Seems he won't be around much today. But it also seems I may be on the right track. That VII in his message - I assume is related to the 'xv' message. So, 15, 7. I'm thinking this may be related to either more elements, or poetry/writing of some sort. He seems to be on a Shakespeare kick with me - as with that message on my wall.

Message :
Quote:
O! for my sake do you with Fortune chide,

The guilty goddess of my harmful deeds,

That did not better for my life provide

Than public means which public manners breeds.

Thank you for the information you gave me James. It means a lot.


That's another thing, most of what he's messaged me with hits on something dealing with 111. The element UUU, the Shakespeare sonnet, the 'Nelson number', ect.

Also - It seems he's ready to push things in to play. Two recent messages :

Quote:
Vladimir Sirin All the major pieces are in place. The game, as the trailers inform me, is afoot. Of course, I don't care for opium or fairies though.


Quote:
Vladimir Sirin Decide amongst yourselves whom is who. 2 rooks, 2 bishops, 2 knights, and the two monarchs are needed. Once decided, or appointed by self, I will be able to assist you in helping our friend Alice.

Oh man.. Letting Vlad in to her house, near her computer. With all her information.. I think it's a highly bad idea....

That sounds like it's a password to me. Something we're going to get is probably going to have a password on it - and I'd bet 20 bucks that that's going to be what we use on it. Or at least what V uses.

Edit 2 ::

Redrafted statement about what's in the spoiler - I'll bet anything that the 'let you pass' bit works for there.

I've been telling her for two days now that he's "creepy", "he's a creeper", "be careful". Then she goes to the store and talks to some random guy for two hours. She really isn't that bright. I told her to put the FB group on private and she said she did. I logged out and checked and you can still see all the pictures. She needs a lot of handholding, I think.

The numbers on that key mean "something". What, I don't know. At least not yet. It's not a random number. It's the largest right truncated prime number, but I have no idea what it means in this context.

Edit:

Didn't notice this night. From FB:

Think that it could be "K, night' like "Ok, good night." But.. with the chess references going around recently - I don't think so.
Also on that note - V seems nice and all, but she makes my inner grammar Nazi want to backhand her half the time ._.

Any way. Vlad posted something about chess pieces recently, I quoted it above. We need to figure out who is going to play what.

Sent this as a private message to V :
Quote:
The ones and zeros in your blog post come out to a short message :
"Sister. If you are reading this then the computer has recognised a new input device. Please be careful with all the data on this computer as if it falls into wrong hands. Our mother will let you pass. JCC 1999" I bet anything that JCC 1999 will be the code you have to enter.

I've been doing a lot of talking with Vlad - and I don't think he's to be trusted. I can't quite tell his motives, but, he seems to be the sneaky type. And he seems to be - instead of directly doing things - allowing others to do his work for him, whether they know they're doing it or not.

Someone told me you had thought about letting him work on your computer? I think that's the very last thing you'll want to do.
