 		[UPDATE] [Sept 25] Paris directory
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The empty paris directory that i found beforenow has four new pages.
Select all in the directory and about halfway down the page you'll see "don't follow me" click that.
It will take you HERE. The text looks to be ROT24 mirrored possably in french. There are two more links on that page.
http://vaporlofts.com/paris/1303.html &
http://vaporlofts.com/paris/300.html

300.html looks like a blured king of hearts, and it appears to be cameod.
1303.html is a picture of a map with what looks like the same wierd text that's on the bottom of conn.html, this pic dosen't look camoed.

On a side note with two other games that just launched i hope people are still
playing this.




EDIT:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
300.jpg is camoed with pass 884p-86f-81
All that's hiddin is this three lines of text.
"What is worth dying for?

Love?

Like ghosts, it doesn't exist."


EDIT2:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
i rot'ed the text on conn.html, reversed it and ran it through babelfish. THis is what i got.

"You must gain his confidence and introduce it into the group. The project of Atlanta requires its presence during the operations of extraction for the secondary test of the passage. It is currently ignorant following information: 1. Its inherent capacity to draw energy from what is beyond the door. 2. Your participation with the company. You should also return account to you that there are the potential escapes in the process of information and figuring. We supervised the communication and took measures necessary by removing points of emission of data and suitable fields of collaboration on line by the implied parts. It is considered by the company to currently be a better judgement with remainder uninvolved with information on a level beyond this. If you recieve any communication enquérant itself about your participation with VAPOR Inc, deny all wire. Moreover notable, it is imperative that you do not follow your preceding historical tendencies to novel the subject, politely to be stated. Without counting that to be, it never discovers your connection with VAPOR Inc, completely dangerous legal implications be expensive for all two you and the company"

heres the untranslated text just in case someone actually knows french Wink

Vous devez gagner sa confiance et l'introduire dans le groupe. Le projet d'Atlanta exige sa présence pendant les opérations d'extraction pour l'essai secondaire du passage. Elle est actuellement ignorante de l'information suivante: 1. Son capacité inhérente de tirer l'énergie de ce qui se trouve au delà de la porte. 2. Votre participation avec la compagnie. Vous devriez également vous rendre compte qu'il y ait les fuites potentielles dans le processus de l'information et de chiffrage. Nous avons surveillé la communication et avons pris des mesures nécessaires en supprimant des points d'émission de données et des domaines de collaboration en ligne convenables par les parties impliquées. Elle est considérée par la compagnie actuellement d'être un meilleur jugement à restant uninvolved avec l'information à un niveau au delà de ceci. Si vous recieve n'importe quelle communication s'enquérant au sujet de votre participation avec de la VAPOR INC, niez tous les fils. En outre notable, il est impératif que vous ne suivez pas vos tendances historiques précédentes à roman le sujet, d'être poliment énoncé. Sans compter qu'être, elle découvre jamais votre raccordement avec de VAPOR INC, des implications légales tout à fait dangereuses soyez coûteux pour tous les deux vous et la compagnie


edit: added date tag - rowan

 		Good work delusional! I'm still here, altho I must admit getting sucked into a poker game or two lately Embarassed

On the 1303.html image, perhaps the stuff at the bottom is a code? Not really sure how this ROT stuff works, so I'm off to do some learning ... I know that's usually with letters, but perhaps if these characters are transferred to their ASCII code equivalent we would see a numerical pattern???

I'll re-post after I do a little more research and work ...

 		Hmmm... perhaps of note...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
In the deck this King of Hearts was pulled from, the card is one of the suicide kings (in the illustration, the king has shoved his own sword in his head.) Combined with the translation in the other picture, and the mention of love in the card camo, could the love-sick poster from Anne's journal be on a suicide mission having to do with her?

 		I have a decipherment for the text at the bottom of ATL1.jpg, which we found on 1303.html:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The text is a monoalphabetic symbol cipher in which spaces and punctuation are enciphered along with the letters.

AERIAL VIEW OF ATLANTA. PLEASE NOTE MAJOR TRAFFIC PATTERNS. IN THE EVENT OF FAILURE OF GATEWAY, PREPARE

Sorry, but that's where it ends. Prepare what? Prepare FOR what?

 		The text on conn.html was relatively easy, since I didn't have to stare at fuzzy symbols in a compressed jpg.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
YOU SHOULD MAKE THE TRIP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THERE IS A WINDOW APPROACHING THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE END OF THE YEAR. YOU MUST GAIN THE SUBJECT'S CONFIDENCE AND COOPERATION BY THEN. OUR ATLANTA BRANCH IS ALSO WORKING TO DEVELOP A HIGHER LEVEL OF TRUST AND PARTICIPATION WITH THE SUBJECT.

 		The paris directory is beeing updated. It looks like as two conversation between Anne and someone else got to be logged.


Conversation 1
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

"So, Schreber, what's your first name?"
"Anne."

"How long have you been in Paris?"
"A couple of days, why?"

"Just curious."


Conversation 2
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

"Cigarette?" I offer her an open soft pack, shaking a couple out.


"I don't smoke," she replied, a serious look in her almond shaped eyes.


"Let me know if you change your mind," I told her as I lit one for myself.
