I'm betting everybody who sent an email or applied is getting it......
And I don't know if i'm going to be able to continue from here. It all depends. Mainly because my dad's a devout Christian, and he was rather unahappy when I got tarot cards from a child's magic book when I was younger. So yeah. I'll see when it comes in the mail.

Catching up on the events and posts that transpired since my break, I noticed that Carol had posted the exact items that I received in her blog..
my bad!! >.<
Really wish I had access to a camera.. who doesnt have access to a camera? I feel like a caveman lol
Day Late Dollar Short:
Just checked my ARG Email which I havent for a while... noticed an email from Lukas which I wish I had seen earlier.. I believe this is the same email that he sent to another but I'll post it just in case there are any differences.

Last night the shadows returned.
Despite all your efforts, I am consumed by the darkness around me. I now know there is no escape. I have done a terrible thing by seeking out such unimaginable power and unleashing this terror. I feel I have hurt so many others by my actions – the thought of it has driven me to desperate actions. My family and friends deserve so much better. My only hope is that by leaving this world, it will bring peace to others…and peace to myself.
I cannot sleep. I cannot eat. I cannot feel. They have tried to pull me into their dark world. But I will meet them, laughing, like the fool I am, at the bridge. This is the only way this can end.
I am sorry.

All I have for a camera is my cellphone, and I can't get any photos of it, but I think if i'm lucky I can use something else and maybe get it done tonight? Either tonight or tomrrow night.

I've been gone for a few days and didn't even send the email with the 5 answers until this morning. I did however, receive the initiates packet in the mail today. It includes everything silckysmooth noted in his post.

I just got home from paintball. I don't know if I got the package yet.
Edit--I did. I should have it taped tonight. I'm thinking of uploading it to Youtube. My first video! Anyway, this is about the creepiest an ARG has ever gotten for me, besides 4-27-2010.

Wow, this is exciting stuff guys, I hope all goes well for everyone especially you cherrytree. Worst comes to worst you can always have your name removed from the mailing list and help us with the puzzles online. Hopefully I shall receive a package soon. Until then good luck guys.

as long as your contents are the same as everyone else's, which is the same as what Carol has posted, then we won't need everyone to post images of the same stuff. I look forward to people showing us stuff Carol might have overlooked, though, so get out the UV/black lightbulbs!
And I'm just going to lurk from now on. I'm not joining the Order, I'm not going to perform any rituals, and I'm not going to watch that video of a character committing suicide. The descriptions here and summaries on Carol's blog are enough for me to know this ARG has deviated into territory which is making me uncomfortable. I wonder if the LAGP "reality TV show" will be as disturbing.

What I was talking about was the ritual. All the things I have were the same except for the instructions (and since the PM's won't reveal that. I rather not post a picture) all it contained was instructions and the oath. I'm happy i'm using Soulgig as my moniker for all ARG's XD Saying Cherrytree backwards is kind a tounge twister.
Anyways i'm in luck. My parents have gone off to a baseball game so I have the house all to myself. All I have to do is disguise the smell of the leaf and the candle smoke smell.

I'm going to use a different initiate name. It's pretty hard to say, but the video doesn't require you say the oath, only perform the rite.

If any of you guys feel uncomfortable actually saying the right, or just trying to figure out how to say your initiate name backwards, you don't have to actually do the ritual. You can just set it up as if you were about to do it and then take a picture of yourself. This way we can all still play.

Okay all done. I don't have a problem saying the oath. (Though I think I missed some words, because it was in candlelight and I have poor vision. I recorded myself just for them to see.) Also my salt sigil drawing skills SUCK.
I'll send in the photos and videos tonight, and see what happens.

Just in case there was any doubt the plant included in the packets is indeed sage. On the outside of the bag the are the words salvia officinalis, which is the scientific name for garden sage.

Edit: Huh, I never knew sage was so useful for so many things. The things you learn when playing ARGs.

Okay I sent the 3 photos I had taken. I've kept the video as backup and said if they need it I would gladly upload it. (Since it was over 1 MB.)
So I'll wait and see what I get back.
Edit: This was their response:

Checked everything with UV/black light, nothing hidden.

Nuh huh... This was TOO real for me. I aint going on with this guys, I thought it'd be a harmless ARG but nope, I'm getting crap like this in the mail? nuh huh. It's different if the packages contain nothing but like, medals or stuff like that, but when it freaking tells me to do this stuff, that's when it stops being fun for me. Good luck anyway, and have fun haha.
