Hello Agents,

Eric has asked me to get a message to you all about the next assignments.

Unfortunately we have had to put your next assignments on hold until the pending investigation is resolved. I know many of you are very excited to be busy with new tasks, so we apologize for the delay. The assignment was related to a new vehicle we may develop with exciting potential, but for now we'll have to wait.

With that said, I thought it might be a good idea to hear from you about a potential new development/research projects. If you have the time and desire, we would be very interested to receive brief proposals from you.

A proposal should propose a loose concept for a new weapon or device - something that Development can creatively approach with various ideas and options. An example concept might be a 'weapon that put living creatures in a temporary state of suspension, preventing them from moving'.

The proposal would also have a number of items for Research to look into. Possible ideas, or technology they could get more information on. Consider, for the proposal, putting forth a number of questions as they tend to spur thoughts and ideas. In this same example, one research question might be 'if we had the technology to halt the activities of all muscles in the human body, how long would it take for someone to die'. The answer to this question could help in determining if said weapon can apply such an effect for a shorter period of said time to prevent death, but achieve the desired suspending affect.

Finally, the proposal should have a press release requirement. You could include a few lines or phrases that need to be included in a press release about the research being done. Our media staff are very good at filling in the blanks. If you want agents to help promote the idea on Twitter, include an example twitter post and mention any hashtags that should be used.

Essentially, you saw much of this format in the Black Rain project, so it should be easy enough to understand.

These proposals are entirely optional. Of course, should you submit one there will be a promotion for it, and if we select one to put out to everyone, that person will receive an additional promotion rank and be credited accordingly. Also, if you choose to submit a proposal, we ask that it get to us (they can be sent to me) as soon as possible, preferably within the next few days.

On behalf of the other department heads, as well as our CEO Eric Newold, I would like to thank you for your patience during these trying times. We hope that we will get to move past them very soon.

Thank you,

Nelson Fuller

If you want to try to speak directly to him, I just sent him a PM on OpComm, and that worked just fine. He PM'd me back the next day. As for Victoria, I dunno. We have rapport, I guess.

EDIT: Curse you Ir0ns, beat me to the post.

Okay, I was all fired up for this when it started, but I'm completely uninterested in a game that seems to have no direction at all & now seems to want the players to write the campaign as well as solve it.
I'm a looooong time RPGer & new to ARGs &, for a game that specifically wanted people with RPG experience, it isn't hitting the mark.
I'm immensely unimpressed with how lazy the entire thing comes across, especially with the addition of the latest email.
I am totally in rant mode regarding this, but I'll keep most of it offline to save from boring you all.

Agree as well

In fact it is beginning to feel like it is being run by the government. Perhaps a DARPA project you know what their boffins are like.

I can't help but notice that Jared is running awfully late on his promised email, and that the sections haven't been taken down as Eric said they would be.

Not winning any points here.

Trouble in paradise, maybe? I do have to agree that this seems like a lot of work from the players with little reward. I'm trying to be pretty optimistic though, hoping for some big developments within the next few days. Fingers crossed!

Geez, I go away for a Faire and all of the sudden this thing explodes! That being said, I've been doing odd bits here and there, things I could get to from my phone. So imagine my surprise when I found this in my inbox...
Quote:
Hey everyone

Im hoping this message reaches you as I intended.

I write to you now at 8pm-ish here in Virginia on Jan 26th but I am not sure when you are receiving it. I'm preparing this in advance and will be pushing it out only if i need to so if you are reading it that means i am likely on my way to jail and simply ttriggered this email to send.

I know some of you are just about sick of saver for a number of reasons but most of you are content with the company. you are stretching your creative muscles and workingn with a company that seems to have great things going on . this is just a farse though. Saver company has one goal and that goal is to make huge sums of money for eric newold while doing nothing for this or any country. saver has never made single weapon - never deployed any agents to any foreign lands. the office is a 1500 square foot suite in Norfolk. eric would have you beleive this is a huge operation but it's not its something he built up and has been selling everyone. i mean no phone number for security reasons?

if i end up having to send this it will probably be the 27th or so and by now in all likelihood marty and eric are away. they like to disappear after any large project i can only imagine what they are doing but im sure it has something to dowith their bank accounts. you will also have been assigned some new bullshit assignment in an attempt to keep your minds busy and not focus on all of this. you are all just the third wave of recruits being used. by the time they get what they need saver corp will be rolled up, moved, renamed and back to recruiting anew, looking for intellegent and creative people of another nature.

I want to do something about this.

By triggering this email, i have also triggered other actions meant to tie things up at saver for a few days or more. for example, if you check the website you will notice its not there any more. also their email has been corrupted and will be inaccessible for a day or two. in fact a number of emails and files from all staff members have been saved down to the servers there as well as some other information tho im not sure of what it kind of depends on when this happens.

This is where my request to you comes in...

help me shut these guys down now. i have been working over the last few days to access the servers there and create a terminal from which you can access information within the company. its not pretty as i havent had much tiem and wont have much more but its there.

if you go here...

terminal.saver.co

...you will see it. i dont have it fully setup as of this moment but my hope is that when this email gets to you i will have more done and can pass more info on to you within a day or so. the terminal gets you to the servers but without other staff members passkeys you cant give yourself higher clearance, which allows u to access more files. i dont have the passkeys memorized and mine has been changed, but i can help you try and figured them out through my brother who will get messages to you via my twitter account or my personal email address...

jaredhoittechSPLATgmail.com

i have taken steps to prevent staff from accessing the terminal, but im not sure how long those steps will last. hopefully with your help we can shut down saver and make sure eric and marty get what trhey deserve.

if you dont want to help me with this then i beg you - leave this shit company - walk away. eric is draining your talent thats it. you come up with the ideas, you spend the time and effort and hes simply going to turn around and sell it. if u dont wanna help me then help yourself and walk away.

I hope to see you all on the other side.
JH


I assume we don't want to put all our eggs in one basket, but I'm finding it hard to side with Eric. I'm not too involved with SAVER personel right now anyway, so I'm gonna go along with Jared for now. Anyone with me?

WOW!! What a quote from someone. This really makes people want to continue no matter if it is real or a game. Good promotion! You just crashed your own bus.

Ok, so for those willing to use the terminal here is how to get in and what you can see from the beginning:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

go to the page and look at the source code, you will see :

TODO: remove old debugging script - log in as useroverride to test

use useroverride as login name and you will get a userregistration prompt.
I didnt put in my SAVER-name or anything as one probably wouldnt do that on any real system either Wink

After creating the account you can login and browse a strongly inspired by linux shell.

So far I have looked at the htaccess file, which for now seems like the only one we can access in plaintext. Basically it only contains a username and a hashed password (as do many htaccess files xD).

Cool find, Minz. I wonder if that's intentional? Probably.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
In any case, it seems once we're in, we can use its 'upgradeaccesslevel' command to up our access level (I know, surprising, right).

Here are a list of users:
bleard (level 2)
enewold (level 4)
jevans (level 2)
jhoit (level 3)
nfuller (level 2)
valverez (level 1)

Okay I'm probably being incredibly dense but what is the codes for upgradeaccesslevel command? Assuming we have them that is?!?

Looks like a number of files which are encrypted anything with an enc extension.

Just got to find keys and codes now Wink

Someone email Victoria and ask her about codes/keys?!?

Okay just went to the saver.co base website and you now get a red screen with the words:

Saver Corp Lies

It would appear the entire site is like this!
