 		Frankly, I've been unimpressed with the organization of this ARG so far. I've been trying to play along from the beginning as an avid ALIAS and ARG fan, but my messages to Cindy Smith on Friendster seem to have been ignored, leaving me no way to catch up with the rest of the game.

Frustrating. I guess I'll just go SPEC on some PerplexCity threads. Neutral

 		QBKooky,

which Cindy did you e-mail? There was an imposter Cindy running around for a few days, which really messed up the game for some people. If it was the real Cindy, and you didnt get a reply, I posted the next step of the game in an earlier comment if you do feel like playing.

The game did start off slow, but its getting very interesting now Very Happy It would be horrible if the fake Cindy put you off this game.

 		Yeah, the fake cindy got me - the one from the Netherlands is the CORRECT one, right? I sent her several messages at lostashoeSPLATgmail.com, but she has yet to email me back.

Yeah, the one from the Netherlands is the correct one. She used to reply immediately if you included the codewords, and nothing else, but i've noticed a little backup these last few days. It's a shame, cause the game was pretty fast paced for a while. It's still interesting, though

 		Here are the image files from the zip. It seems to be a lot of survelliance on one Henk Bakker.

PROFILE.jpg - general profile of the subject, Henk Bakker.
BAKKER.jpg - photo of Bakker
CALLLO1.jpg - a phone log of Bakker's calls
EMAIL2.jpg - an email sent from Henk to de.archivarisSPLATgmail.com (the dutch word for "retrieved" is scribbled across the bottom)
LOGP1.jpg, LOGP2.jpg - pages 1 and 2 of an investigator's log in trailing / surveilling Henk's activities.

Here is a transcript of audio.mp3
audio.mp3 wrote:
Henk Bakker: Hello?
Monika Vos: Hey baby, it's me!
Henk: Heyy, Monika!
Monika: Helloo - I'm calling because I would like to know what to get for your birthday.
Henk: Oh yeah, it's my birthday soon... umm... well maybe something nice for you to wear?
Monika: [laughs] No, silly, I want to buy something just for you.
Henk: Umm... ooh I made this wishlist on the site you told me about...
Monika: ... ohh right, okay!
Henk: Yea, so you can check that.
Monika: So, what are you going to do for your birthday? Where are you gonna be?
Henk: Oh I was thinking of taking a short break, going to somewhere in the sun, just you and me?
Monika: Ohh that sounds niice.
Henk: Yeah, cuz, well there's this Sloane guy, umm I'm having some problems with him, um... so maybe it's a good idea-
Monika: Are you in trouble?!
Henk: No no don't worry about it... don't worry about it - I can handle Sloane. But, might be a good idea to be out of the country for awhile.
Monika: Oookay. Well, always [inaudible - riding and skinner n' stuff]
Henk: Yeah, okay, I'll get us some tickets and, uh, I'll speak to you later, okay?
Monika: Okay! That's great
Henk: Bye sexy!


And also if you search, you can find Henk Bakker's Amazon Wishlist (which was used in solving the IDENTITY password thing).

Okay, so I made some progress. de Archivist replied to my mail

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Saying I didnt have the passcode. Using Henk's amazon wishlist, I worked out it was Supremacy, and gave Henk's old address as the location. de Archivist again replied, with the words 'package sent.'
I've passed the info onto Cindy aswell as Omnifam. Am still waiting for a reply.
I got the same thing... however I have replied with the passcode and an address that *I* can check... I'm not sure if we're supposed to "sic" him on Henk or get him to send one of us the materials... Confused

 		Great minds think alike and all that Very Happy

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
After discussing sending the package to Henk on another board, I sent de Archiver my own address. He hasn't replied yet. Probably cause i already asked him to send it to Henk, but I'm still waiting.


wish i'd thought of this sooner. tell me if you get a reply!!

 		Charlene, did you email him in english or in (I think) dutch? Dutch (i believe) is what Henk's email to him was, as well as my original email. However, in my clarification email (with address) I asked if we could communicate in English.

*ponders*

 		I e-mailed him in English. The first time was an encoded e-mail, which he replied to with PassCode Unknown. The second time was to confirm, so he does speak English.

If i'd tried to reply to him in Dutch, my attempt might have scared him away!

I also sent the Archiver my own address with the password, and got the reply of "Package sent." Woo! I wonder if we'll get snail mail!

 		Well we will find something out,


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I had the archivist send the package to Smokey's Coffee shop on Prins Hendrikkade 91. When I tried to look up all the addresses, thats the only one that gave me a map. Henks old address kept giving me problems. I have e-mailed Cindy to intercept it. If its a real package and The people at the coffee shop are gonna be wondering who the hell Karl is.


I guess we will find out what happens from here.

Ok, I have a lead.

In the phone chat, when his gf asks what he wants for his birthday he tells her to check out that 'website with a wish list on it'. Sure enough, a Henk Bakker from Amsterdam has a wish list on Amazon. I'm not sure where to go next though


Umm, yeah, look up about three posts to see the link for it that I posted.

LOL Wink


BUT:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Be careful, as someone has added a second Henk Bakker wishlist...could this be our imposter? God Rolling Eyes

 		Okay, is anyone else not getting any replies from

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
de archivaris? he sent the package to Henk, but wont reply when i give him my home address. Has my shot at getting some in game snail mail been wasted?

Has anyone asked him to send the package to multiple places?


edit: never mind, apparently its on the way! Very Happy
