Return of the Wildfires?

[JustLurking]

On insom's suggestion, tried translating the skus.

Here's what I got

[Crowfoot]

Wow, I really hope this turns into another Wildfire! I've looked around a bit, but don't have much time at the moment. There are several E-mail addresses to use, including one that you can request to be hired with, and also a form to submit your information (the product request forms).

Will look into this more later.

Edit: I submitted my information here.

This seems like it's tied into The Matrix Online.. - for instance, the mention of the Merovingian and redpills - rather than being Wildfire-related.

Also, Ueno, rather than referring to the district in Tokyo which confused me at first, is a district in MxO in which Bishop Imports appears to reside.

I'm thinking our visitor from the first post above got the WI connection from the bishopimports.net whois and a bit of googling...

It's still interesting tho.

Running a site search for "bishop" brought nup a few results.
even some product pages?

http://bishopimports.net/products.htm

[Atrophied]

Incit: you can get to that 'Products' page by scrolling to the bottom of the 'Home' page. (also 'News')

The "Products" pages are where JustLurking got the sku's to decipher into whatever he posted up there^^^

[Incitatus]

ohhh... was wondering where he got those....

My (bad)

[cyberinsekt]

On a hunch, I used the search function to look for other instances of "redpills". Success.

Searching for a* got me 16 pages, including

*Sigh* I knew I shouldn't have been a bad boy and taken a vacation from Unforums and Immersion.

What you all are looking at is a project I aided on designing with a group of friends for Matrix Online. We're out of events in the game because Sony Online Entertainment fired all of the Live Events Actors, so the game has been crippled in storyline. So, it's been left to the players to make events.

The website of Bishop Imports is tied into a small 5 day event called "Something Interesting". A little event a group of us put together, and I wrote. However, thanks to horrid website hosting, most of the site doesn't work right and the e-mail fails all the time, leaving us in a pickle. The puzzles were simple because most of the MxO community isn't apt to doing puzzles like you guys, and alot of the interactions center in, of course, Matrix Online, requiring you to have a game account to understand the mini-arg when it ran.

I thank you all for your interest, but, I'm sorry to say that someone put you on a wild goose chase. Sorry again guys.

PS: Only fun thing about this mini-ARG was that I got to script large scale gun battles.

[Delusional]

i guess that previous post explaind what this is about, which just makes this more confusing for me.

[C_Brennan]

Wait a tick... delusional, you are the man! That's why the e-mail isn't working!

*Runs off to go check something*

EDIT: The account was trying to forward all of my mail to Firenze... that's the error in the equation... so now mail works... well... maybe I can figure out the rest of these errors...
