Trailhead - Teaching for the Future

E-mail received at my hotmail account which I don't think I advertise having.

Quote:
From: teachingforthefutureSPLATaol.com

subject: You Must Help

http://teaching-for-the-future.tumblr.com/

this is the vehicle through which i will communicate with you and anyone else who helps.

you must help. there is no question.

consider yourself lucky for now.



Only post right now is: Important
Which is a google doc that says

Quote:
i cannot say much, for I do not want to be found or compromised

everything i do is for your safety and mine

do as i say and everything will be alright

if you do not believe me than you are not the right person (or people)

over my time (<--haha) here i have come across certain games

these games, often said to be what they are not, could interfere with the seriousness of my message(s)

I assure you: THIS IS NOT A GAME

knowing too much of your future is never a good thing

 Did some searches...

I'm a frequent lurker and less frequent player, took part in the Cloverfield-Slusho ARG and Flynn Lives.

I've done some cursory searches to see if anything stood our with what you have so far. Didn't see anything of interest.

I haven't seen anything pop up that seems related. I sent an e-mail back asking how I can help, but no response as of yet. I rarely give my e-mail address out for anything as I primarily use it for my xbox live stuff. I think I registered for The Secret World with it, so maybe they are starting something up again, but who knows yet.

Actually, it is a reference to my first name which I think is tagged on my hotmail account and I sent an e-mail back yesterday.

Kind of repetitious. Just decoding google docs and then getting hints is kinda boring. No hint at the scope of the game.

Maybe this 'thing' if a game is just simply meant for yourself?

Any special connection to Back to The Future?

None, this is kinda out of the blue I think.

Website looks very unprofessional for a "corp"

[edit - put a return in the binary so it doesn't overstretch the forum and quote tagged the clue - save the spoiler tag just for the solves - kona]

I tried to send them an email on the "Contact" page, but it said "Owner email not set". So Contacting them is useless (as they didn't list any phone numbers or stuff). The entire website seems like a red herring to me.

Considering that it was explicitly listed by the blog, you think it is a red herring?

How about unfinished?

I got an e-mail from Time Corp. I asked them about the prices of their packages and if I will see what will be or what could be. This is their reply:

"Prices will be up shortly. To buy a package (you cannot yet, some of our significant employees are on a trip) you send an email through the "Contact" page, much like you have done here.

As for our your second question, we retain the right to keep our methods secret from anyone we wish. You may, at a later date, prove to be important enough to know: we will watch for signs of this."

Note that the e-mail was sent from fate_corpSPLATaol.com Since it is an AOL e-mail there is a chance this was sent from 1998! Razz
