 		There's a new post on enchantedforums.tk, by Lazarus again:

Quote:
Thank God. This connection isn't so bad anymore.

I'm starting to think that the lag is caused by the .tk connection. Well, here goes nothing:

Please look for my encrypted code in a website my colleague arranged for me to have. I'm going to discreetly place the code there. The decrypter will be placed at that same website. You will find more than a code there. Subject 6 is namechecked at one of the pages, or so I am told.

I can't reveal too much. It will come naturally to you. The mosquitoes are killing me, and I'm bleeding from a cut at my thigh. Damn blood suckers.

 		Ah right.

From browsing the AP-Productions website, all that I've been able to deduce is that it's an album by a group called The Secret Service. There's nothing untoward in the sources of either site, and I can't really find anything else of interest, to be honest.

Quote:

Er, sort of does. There's a review of the D-Classified album on the first site. The second site is the record company's one. I think.

 		http://sixdoorsago.blogspot.com/ has a new update just now.

Quote:
I had another Dream.

Ever since I helped them out, I've always had the same bad dream repeat over and over.

The death of Lacy.

It's not as if I blame myself for her death. She died saving them. We knew the costs. But still, the death of a friend always hurts.

Thankfully, they are safe. Her sacrifice meant four out of twelve could lead new lives. Enough of that. If I said anymore on the topic, they'd know. And her sacrifice would be a waste.

On the other hand, I'm glad to know that I made this blog. I've finished contacting the first link, and the second link. I don't know who to choose for the third, and I've got frankly very important info for that one. The second link has not yet replied. I am frankly quite worried.

Actually, I might not even choose a third. Too much heat on me, and they will get to them. All the links must have blogs, and choosing a good one is quite tough.

Readers: In a few days, you might be able to find a website made by a colleague of mine. The website is entitled 'The Class of 2007' and mentions a fictitious elite private school. There you will find my first published findings there, and from then on it will be quite obvious on how to decrypt it. Please make my findings public.

"Open. Close. Open. Close."


Hmm, interesting. Seems to imply there's a bit of a waiting game going on for a few days, but I'm not so sure. More of a narrative opening up, either way.

ok guys (PS welcome to the community Lewis the second)
I just got an email from adam
I said:
Quote:
Hello, Adam.
My name is Duckie... don't bother asking how I found you, its a tad bit of a
long story.
But is there any way I can help?
Yours,
Duckie

He said:
Quote:
Thank you for contacting me.

As you probably know, a rather impulsive man who we know only as "Six Doors Ago" has been posting some mystifying blog posts at his site. He mentions a certain Conspiracy of B.

All I know is what I've read at other places (John Walker's blog, for instance). I have to tell you this:
I've been trying to trace the guy for A LONG TIME (as in, longer than the first link). What he knows is much of interest to me.

I might be getting some new information soon. I have no doubt that my new info can help you more. After all, my sources are NEVER wrong.

-Adam.


I also got a private message on the forums from Lazarus:


Quote:
Well, the package is addressed to "Benedict Vargas". The items involved in the package, I don't know.

There is no significance to the name "Benedict Vargas". He was not part of Project Fatemaker, and neither did he work with me. If he ever meant anything, he would be working for the other side.

Maybe while I'm writing this, you might find some meaning to it. Until then, I'm afraid I'm useless until I find another package, or find another link.


I also believe I know what website he had his colleague hide the code at.
If his colleague is ANDREI
then *his* website is http://amirulb.blogdrive.com/
and he made a website for Lazarus, or Mr. Doherty, at which point his website is http://ciaran.maclenet.com/

Now, there is a possiblity that this is out of game... but as I'm no longer sure, I'm posting this all here under a spoiler. If I have indeed inadvertantly ripped the curtain, I'll delete it...
But reccomend peolpe keep better wraps on their websites.

 		I would bet a lot of money that the Ciran Doherty page is IG, because the script mentions Senator Blackwolf, and Senator Blackwolf is in the meta from the enchanted forums page.

 		Duckie: Ta.

amirulb.blogspot... that's so odd, because that came up on someone's blog a couple of weeks back. This guy's a budding games journalist. He obscurely reviewed the PC Gamer staff members blogs, including John (botherer)'s. Odd that it should find its way here. Errm, maybe I've hugely overlooked something here, but where did you get ANDREI from? [update: yes, I was being stupid. Enchanted Forums. Of course.]

Aaand, that second link won't work now... perhaps it was in-game and you're too far in? [update: will now. Must just have been down.]

EDIT: From amirulb.blogspot.com comments system:

 		Posting under a spoiler as it leads on from the possibly-in-game stuff from Duckie.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
If you go onto Docherty's page, except for the diary entries and suchlike, there are a number of different pages. First thing that becomes apparrent: we're dealing with a character from the Vampire RPG series. This may lead one to think there's nothing of interest. BUT, a look at the profile page indicates otherwise. In the contact bit, the guy's email address is the same as the one on amirulb.blogspot.

To start with, I thought we must just be dealing with Amirul's Vampire character, for whom he's set up a proper website. But on his blogspot, he mentions Mr. Docherty as being 'mysterious' and implies that he's been contacted by him but doesn't know who he is...


Not that I'm going anywhere with all that, I've actually no idea what to make of it. Just a few elaborations on the situation anyway - and, of couse, we may have jumped the gun already.

Thats just the thing. John Walker appears to be "in-game" and he's mentioned in the most recent post by this amirul. But he also mentions "ARG." I think that for all intents and purposes we should just ignore this track right now-- assuming it IS in game, that reply I got implies that either he knows nothign about it, or he will be more important later (someone to talk to who might be "in the know" about whats going on)

Spoiler removed to make this quite clear:

I am absolutely nothing to do with this game.

Why he chose to use my blog is a mystery to me, and as you can see from the archive, it's a genuine blog that's been running for a long while. The email arrived, and I thought it would be fun to post to the blog to see what would happen - I'm quite excited to have been chosen, frankly.

But once again, so there are no misunderstandings or further assumptions made: I have nothing to do with this ARG, other than being a victim of it. I am not "in game", I have no idea with whom we are corresponding. The situation was: I got the email, posted it to my blog, and I contacted one of the PMs at Perplex City to ask what I should do, and they suggested I post the info here.

Please, no more suggestions that I'm "in game".

 		I'm sorry, I appologize for the misunderstanding. If I believed you were a character, I would have slammed you for posting on the forum. I say you are "in-game" because the six doors ago blog recognizes that you exist-- and thus since this latest blog, possibly not in game becuase it mentions ARGS, possibly IS in game because it quite conveniently mentions you.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Ah, thanks for explaining : )

I've had a private message, and some other comments, which were accusing me of being a PM for the game, so wanted to make it all completely clear.

It's a bit odd to be "in game".

 		Does the sixdoorsago blog refer to John, though? It refers to a 'John' and a 'Walker', but as seperate entities.

Interestingly, something that's only just clicked in connection to this - before I'd only seen it as an annoyance: both 'links' that have responded so far are called John. The name mentioned at sixdoorsago as the strange Warez-y thing is 'John'... coincidence?

 		Interesting development.

Last night, I emailed adamfritzSPLATabcd...etc. My email read:

I wrote:
Adam,
My name is Lewis Denby. I found you whilst following some leads
regarding the Conspiracy of B. Your email address cropped up and I
just thought I'd ask a bit about yourself, who you are etc. Did you
know you were a part of all this? If so... what part are you playing?

All the best,
Lewis


His response was intriguing. He said I was 'resourceful' and that he would 'reward' me with a piece of information. However... he stated that it was a reward for me and that I should keep it secret.


"Yours to interpret", he said.

Hmm... what should I do now? There's not an *obvious* lead anywhere, so throwing it into the mix would be helpful... sorry, I'm sort-of-new to this stuff. If I'm asked to keep something secret by an IG character, should I obey?

EDIT: At the advice of a jolly nice person on the IRC room, I'm posting the reply under a spoiler.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
If indeed I am a part of an elaborate conspiracy, well, then I don't know what to say.

You seem resourceful. I would like to reward your efforts with this:

SixDoorsAgo is wrong. There are 30 subjects originally. What happened to the rest? And more importantly, did he know he took the four?

The meaning to this is yours to interpret. I would be very pleased if you kept all this discreet.

-Adam
