Also: I remember on the LJ it said that Michael Adams lived in Virginia, not Ohio.


I dont know if he's changed it but now his LJ says he's from Orlando, Florida.

 		The LiveJournal now has a second post on Friday, some twelve hours later than the first one:
Quote:
EVERYTHING IS WELL.

PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE.


It seems that out Michael is either schizophrenic (sometimes yelling for help, and then refusing any intermission) or that he is sometimes forced (by the brotherhood?) to revisit or undo his earlier entries.

 		I just received a bizzarre text message. It might be from Michael, it may be another game, or it may be pure insanity.


MY phone shows the following

Quote:
Fr:265060
SecureChannel IM: (using AOL IM)
KzgwMGlzcmFlbA==
(You can reply to this message)
CB:#
at 11:37 am
Mon, Jan 9
Stored time:
11:37 am
Mon, Jan 9


I'm replying to the message asking if this was Michael. Meanwhile, it seems like
"KzgwMGlzxnFlbA==" may be a cipher.

Note that it appears on my cellphone more like

KzgwMglzxnFlb
A==

But as far as I can tell thats only due to screen width.

I cant be around most of the day as Im takign my sister to the airport up in Philli. I'll try to work on this by hand.. of course it could be absolutely nothing. Not even part of the game...

EDITL Tryign to Reply gives the message: "This User is not available"

EDIT THE SECOND: And it appears that Michaels Livejournal has compeltely dissappeared from existance yet again

It seems possible that that is an actually-encrypted message, using something along the lines of ClipSecure. I say this because we've had a few of these in VaporLofts, and they've usually ended with an equal sign or two. The SecureChannel thing speaks to that too.

It's base64 for "+800israel", if that helps any...

 		Well... 1 800 israel isnt a real number. We're a digit short.. so either its the wrong decryption or this is just meaningless.

Or it's not a phone number. I'd think it's the right decryption because it makes some sense, and honestly, it's missing a lot of information for it to be of the type I suggested.
