 		I'm going to have to echo the GREAT job on this. Player initiative solving a "puzzle" is always great.

 		i'm at it again....
I've once again Emailed our wonderful Amanda/Ed... in hopes to get the password, or a clue to it at least, for the third disc ron has. although i was told i probably don't need to continue to code anything, i decided to anyway. if nothing else, it's fun {and pardon the curtain but, the PMs seem to like the coding we players do} soooo....

the subject was: Does It Sound Clever?
{code being : "DISC"}

the email:
Quote:
I was wondering if you would be able to give me some advice. Noticed how wonderful your webpage is. Even though i don't know you very well i feel as though we have a connection.
Enough so that i think you might help me out. Did i tell you i was thinking of starting a website? Probably about reality tv shows. After this one i'm involved with ends, so i can see first hand the horror involved. Soooo... have any great tips for me?
Something special, perhaps.... Webmasters tools? Or anything helpful would be appreciated. Really could use your help, i've been through two sources already, need more info. Doesn't matter anyway the THIRD time is a charmer... know what i mean?

t.r.


{code being : "i need password" hints being the obvious refference to "webmaster's tools" the name of the discs, and that i have been through two sources already, but need the info of a third one - meaning the disc.}

 		Finally got "Amanda" to answer me. Nothing earthshattering but promises of more info to come. And sHe cannot confirm/deny our spec about B.S. because the return email was bogus.

"Amanda"
Two things have come to light, lately.

Your successor at TT Studios is on the run with the CDs you left
behind. We want to open the files on the third disc but don't know the
password. Do you remember what you used? If not the actual password,
do you remember any memo that you used to hide the password?

Regarding the most recent update on your site. Do you still have the
original email from B.S.? I think this is someone who has been either
accidentally exposed to infrasound from a mine or tunnel system (or
purposely "infected" with the sound). But, more importantly, I think
this person may have ties to *you* and your old employers, TT Studios.

Please respond in some fashion; I feel like you have been ignoring me
just because I figured out who you really are before you gave us that
importantinfo.

Dear Heather,

I'm sincerely sorry - I haven't been deliberately ignoring anyone. Please
accept my apologies. You must understand that this has been a very trying time for me; exhilarating but scary as hell. Hopefully soon you will see where I am coming from.

As for your questions: first, those things just went into a box. I never
opened the files. You should know more about that soon as well. I'm sorry
to hear my successor is on the run... History repeats itself (sigh). I wish
him well.

Second, although I'm very adamant about protecting the privacy of my
anonymous readers, I think I can safely say that the return e-mail address from "B.S." was bogus.

Sincerely,
"Amanda"

 		As I've not been receiving these alleged "spam" e-mails, I decided to follow up with one of our favorite webmasters by sending this message tonight:

Quote:
Amanda --

I've recently found myself particularly interested in "reality TV" shows that were never aired, and during my Urban legend site Hunt, I've not found any yet, aside from the one to which you refer on your site (Dread House).

Also, I have a background in psychology, and the Dream Projector and infrasound posts have intrigued me.

Just want to say good job on the site, and I'm *very* interested in what secrets you may reveal next.

It's amazing how easy it is to tell the truth and get the message across. I don't think that's too obvious, do you? Laughing

Here's the response I got:

Quote:
Dear Lgarrett.

Thanks very much for your kind words. I aim to please! It's nice to know
that my hard work is appreciated. I imagine there is more information
about Dread House out there somewhere, but it's just a matter of waiting
until it comes to light.

If you haven't yet, please sign up for the update list.

Sincerely,
Amanda Graves
Webmaster, www.urbanmythology.net

 		It is clear that Vargas and Ron have either met or Ed has at least heard about him. Konamouse never mentions what gender Ed's successor was but Ed says "I wish him well." All Konamouse stated was "your successor is on the run." I dont know if this has relevance but it may prove important later on.

I don't know. i don't think I would assume they have ever met. I know that say "he, him, her, she" all the time without knowing what gender the person actually is yet.

 		Well at least aMANda admits to being Ed Vargas. I think that's very important.
