Well we need one more person. Somehow I managed to convince my girlfriend to play, and she sent off her first email sometime today.

And I have had more emails from Ore:

Me -
Quote:
Ore, we have a theory that the three Paromnetiara are linked to the three pillars. So there is one for joy, one for purity and one for life. If this is the case, which is yours?


Ore -
Quote:
they aren't connected to the facade madness, corruption, and death each one features the three pillars but is focused on one

Alright I've jumped in. I have spent yesterday and today earning my pillars. I am now the fifth of the second generation. I am going to continue to catch up on this thread and study this Nimpik language.

Another recruit Very Happy The more the merrier Smile

And if you need any help learning the language, feel free to ask for help Smile Though I would suggest talking to Blue or Green (andrekka or Naruse) as they are professional translators, and so have been doing most of the work on the language Razz

Dear Namastane,

I've been following your posts here. We don't have a moderator, but I think someone should explain a few details to you about how this thread has been going on, so here I am.

First, we've been working REAL HARD on this ARG. All of us. Everyone who's here is collaborating. Collaboration is key to us solving this game.

We do welcome newcomers, like we welcome you, but everyone who's got here after we did (*seeing* the thread first does not mean you were *here* first) at least took their time to read the thread, every post, and ask pertinent questions or add pertinent comments.

Unfortunately you did not act like that. You just jumped in here out of the blue, your first post was somewhat insulting to all of us who are involved in the game, and then you say one of the words in the last letter was not what we had read, without EVEN checking the PDF I made with the alphabet Smile Now that's not nice, is it?

We are a group and we've been working TOGETHER. If you don't wanna read the whole thread, the wiki, the blog to catch up with us, please refrain from posting stuff that will not help in any way.

Also, if you had read the thread, you'd see that we have been posting the FULL emails we exchange with the GH people, like questions and answers, plus Ore's hidden messages. So your last post made no sense for us AT ALL. They said that in response to what exactly? And what is your current status in the game?

We don't need that just because we suck, but because every email exchanged with any player here has messages for ALL the players, especially the advanced group, which is trying to move on so all the others can move on as well.

We'd appreciate it if you'd just respect us as the diligent players we have been. That way we can help you.

We count on your collaboration.

I'm sorry if I made anyone mad here. Sometimes I sound a little more obnoxious than I'm trying to be. and when I looked at that really long letter I wanted to try to decode it. at that moment I didn't have an account on Unfiction so I didn't really want to post much. When I jumped in I really meant to say something like, I've been watching this thread for a while and I wanted to help out.
Also I'm bad at explaining things so I'll try my best to sum up my emails to Glass Heaven
Me: is there anything more than joy purity and life?
Them:
Quote:
Greetings. We can serve as your representative at the moment.

I hope that I can help you in your struggles to find enlightenment, and I know that the best joy will find you if you continue on in pursuit of our truth.

I know that there is a way to be pure again and use the gifts of the Glass Heaven that have been given to us in a just way, and if you'll join us, we can train you in these gifts.

The greatest of all is life in enlightenment. I hope and pray that you will continue to seek out enlightenment through your entire life.

If you have any questions about how to begin on your path, please do not hesitate to write again, but understand that only you can start on this path. We cannot do it for you. You must have the desire.

Joy • Purity • Life


Me: how do I begin?

Them:
Quote:
I am the one in charge of this sort of thing. If you are truly wanting to find peace and enlightenment in your life, you must only follow the teachings of our god, the Crystalline Lord. The Lord is the one that can see you through to the greatest Glass Heaven.

To officially join the Church and prove your worth, you must earn your pillars: red, green, and blue. Joy, purity, and life. I can help you earn purity and the others can teach you how to earn joy and life. But only the earnest in heart will find truth in the darkness.


Me: where can I begin?

Them:
Quote:
First you must experience joy -- the highest happiness.

One of our teachings we have learned is that we must remove all sources of sadness and ill-will from our lives. Then we may achieve joy.

Your task is to do this. Remove sadness and ill-will and live joy, and you will earn your pillar.

I have an alternate task you may complete instead.


Me(This I know was a little obnoxious as well.): I need not remove sadness and ill-will altogether though, as these things are necessary to learn. I have accomplished such a thing and I am ready for the next one

Them:

The foolhardy blunder and fall into despair.



And that pretty much sums it up, Could you please forgive me?

Shouldn't be too long now. And then we have three more mysteries to sort out. We just need to remember which order you are in. Dalek then LatentMoths for now, right?

Sure we can! :D

Now you seem to be a potential addition to the new generation, we just need one more.

You have apparently failed in your first attempt with them, but you can try again. Read back the thread and you can find the way to earn the three pillars and get your Nimpik name :D

Btw, was there and hidden text in their reply?

We know you're trying hard too ;) We can help you sort it out!

If there's hidden text, it will turn up when/if you highlight the entire message.

It seems to be easiest to ask for the alternate task for that one.
