[NEW] Steven Mae Email

Look who I found Very Happy Steven Mae AKA Djingo Labbat from South Africa

Mrs. Perkins:

Please don't feel like you are intruding. I have been getting quite a
few
strange emails lately, especially here on my personal account, since I
have
not been able to log in to my business intranet due to high amounts of
solar
flares recently. I have currently received recognition for my ABAES in
use
at the Orbicon Space Station, which is why my name was posted on the
company
website. I did write a letter to Ms. Schreber recently, because I was
planning on moving to Atlanta with my wife and daughter and the Vapor
Lofts
project was very intriguing to us. Now I'm not so sure. If you have any
more
questions, please don't hesitate to correspond, I am perfectly willing
to
help inform the public as much as possible.

Pleasure to make your acquaintance.

Sincerely,

Steven Mae

Steven Mae, aka Djingo

How did you find out that this was Steven Mae? What I mean is how did you know his last name from that Live Journal post?

well it would appear that he has heard of orbicon...
Exactly what is/ar "ABAES"; could it be the 'new "smart" environmental technology' mentioned in the "Recent News" on the homepage of Orbiconcorp.com, or is this completely OOG?

Question If not completely OOG, then who is "Ms. Schreber" and what connection do ghosts have with Orbital Colony?
Confused

OOG?

These may be completely OOG, but I though't I'd mention them to be sure I wasn't chasing a wild goose. Tracing the thread originally mentioned by budeefly brought me to this address:

http://www.livejournal.com/users/point_system/

Still doesn't look like it relates to OC, but this page directed me to the following addresses:

http://vaporlofts.com/
and
http://vaporlofts.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
http://vaporlofts.com/gateway/

Still not sure if/how it relates, but vaporlofts.com is a recently registered site, and some of this info looks like it could be a possible encrypted clue.
Feel free to smack me if I've strayed too far from the path, but it looked too odd not to share.

Good Job Budeefly!

Although it's hard to tell if this response is really from inside or OOG, it does provide some additional intrigue...

So, if I get this all right, ... according to the trailer, Stephen Mae is going to dissappear at some point??? Apparently from the ciphered messages, he know something that someone doesn't want to get out.

Interestingly enough, he mentions the solar flares and his email issues ... seems like I read that somewhere else ... was it in the newsletter? That would lend some credibility to the email being from the PMs ...

I just recieved this email.


Date: Mon, 19 Sep 2005 12:40:02 -0400
To: "D. Perkins" <budeefly@yahoo.com>
From: "Martha Crappert" <martha.crappert@orbiconcorp.com> Add to Address Book
Subject: Bogus e-mails


Dear Ms. Perkins,
It has come to the attention of Orbicon Corporation that there are some
individuals representing themselves as Orbicon Employees.

Please note that all correspondence from Orbicon Employees will arrive
from an Orbiconcorp.com address or related sites owned and operated by
the Orbicon corporation or its subsidiaries.

We stongly urge you to report any contact purportedly from an Orbicon
employee that did not originate from an Orbicon address.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,
Martha Crappert
Facilities Services

The ironic thing about the Martha Crappert e-mail, is that it's hard to tell if it's a genuine response or still part of the story. I'm confused!

I knew it! It istn't the first time someone has been trying to impersonate in-game-people!

It is quite clear that they are trying to tell us that the @hotmail was a fake mail.

Martha Crappert

Ms. Crappert is mentioned in both issues of the Newsletter (see Coffee Klatch with Crappert on Aug. 1 and Sept 1). I'd say the email is in-game.

EDIT: but yes, to clarify, I do think that the Steven Mae email is a fake. It's possible, although unlikely, that it's part of the game for an Orbicon employee to discredit Steven Mae.

I am confused also. Was wondering if maybe Steven Mae is trying to get info out without Orbicon knowing so he is using the hotmail instead of his company mail. And maybe orbicon is trying to find him, or what email he is using. Heck I dont know.

Vaporloft is another ARG I am playing, that is where I came across the email for Steven Mae. So someone tell me is this the real Steven Mae or is he a fake. And if it is a fake how hard this makes it to play a game when you have people sending you bogus information.

If the Orbital Colony PMs are smacking this down, then he is definitely not affiliated with OC. The fact that he pretends to be speaks volumes about his intentions. I would say (with about 99% certainty) that this is a troll trying to worm his way into both games. Until we receive confirmation from the VL Pms that he is IG there, I suggest that everyone treat him like the idiot he is.

But as I said, at the very least, he is not a part of OC and nothing he says about Orbicon should be believed.

OrbiCard?

I wasn't sure if anyone had tried applying for OrbiCredit, so I fired off an email to their info email address to ask if there was a phone number I could call to apply. If I hear anything, yada yada yada.

EDIT - still nothing on that email, but I tried googling Space Elevator, and found this:

Maybe I'm grasping.
