 		Alice in Wonderland ARG?
I just got a MySpace frined request from a "John Summers." The site is http://www.myspace.com/johnsummers7 and it's pretty obviously a trailhead. Of interest are his blurbs:
Quote:
About me:
My name is John Summers. I have a degree in computer science and I am interested in politics. I am currently looking for some people, which is why I am here. It is more than urgent, it is of major importance that you get into contact with me. You know who you are. We need you.
Who I'd like to meet:
Someone who can help us. Your community is the only group of people that can aid us now. We can trust no-one else.

and his blog:
Quote:
Searching
Current mood: anxious

I'm sorry that I can't be specific in the way I am communicating or the information I am giving out. If you knew what we are up against you would understand. If they find us, hell will break loose. Do not underestimate what I am saying. I know there are people that can help us, I have seen them on the internet. We need trustworthy minds that can aid us in our search. Please, I beg of you, contact us in some way.

 		I sent John Summers a message on myspace:
Quote:
I am one of the people you seek.
Let me know what assistance I can provide.
Me


and he replied with:
Quote:
Please confirm that you are a member of the community I seek. We can take no chances, the group that seeks us have eyes and ears everywhere.


I'm not sure how to confirm this. Any ideas?

 		How is it 'Alice In Wonderland'?
I sent him a message asking if I could help and got this back:
Am I correct in assuming that the three people who have added me to their lists are members of the community I seek? We are stalked by a powerful enemy and can take no chances.
I replied and said that we all know each other and are from the same community.

Just got this back:

Oh thank the Lord. I made quite a brave move contacting someone we have no identification on, I think you are our last chance. Soon we can talk, but first there is something you must do. My group and I are being stalked, and I do not trust any one. Please prove that you are the ones that can help us.



Once you understand the meaning you will know what to do. I will make no communication until that point. Please be the ones that can save this whole situation before it is too late.

 		Reply from the Doctor:

Quote:
Good God, John was right. This is fantastic, contact from the community. Listen, there is much you need to know. John is in charge of us so he will handle the details. Expect contact from him soon. We have to move around often because we are being tracked. I must move as well now, this cafe is small and there are not enough exit points.

Thank you for agreeing to help us.

 		I asked John who Dr Stephen is and he replied with this:

I don't have long where I am. I will be waiting on AIM under the name of Wonderlandsoc. I will do what I can to inform you of the situation.

 		IM conversation with John Summers
I'mNotNull, Russell and I managed a chat room in AIM with John summers. Here's the convo:

This first part was the start of a private convo before I started the chat room.
Quote:

CaverRance: are we looking for Alice?
Wonderlandsoc: Finally, I was afraid I would have to leave this cafe
CaverRance: I got in touch with Dr. Stephens, well at least was added as a friend.
Wonderlandsoc: Yes, as logic suggests, Alice is what we are looking for
CaverRance: what or who is Alice?
Wonderlandsoc: I am in contact with Dr. Daniels, he is heading towards another location as we speak.


This is the chatroom convo:
Quote:

Russell unfic has entered the room.
Wonderlandsoc has entered the room.
Russell unfic: hi there
Wonderlandsoc: Ok, good idea
CaverRance: thought this would be easier
Wonderlandsoc: Hi, thank you so much for responding to us
Russell unfic: much =)
CaverRance: if anyone else is trying to chat with you I can invite them as well
Russell unfic: not at all pleasure is all ours
Wonderlandsoc: imnotnull I think
Wonderlandsoc: I don't have long so I will have to tell you the bare basics, the situation is very dangerous at the moment
CaverRance: not sure if he'll join, he doesn't know me
Russell unfic: so what information is it safe to tell us
CaverRance: understood
Wonderlandsoc: I am from a group called The Wonderland Society
Wonderlandsoc: There are five of us in all, and I am the leader, Dr. Daniels is another
imnotnull has entered the room.
Russell unfic: do you have a main site or do you just work out of the myspace places
Wonderlandsoc: The others include Shaun White, Harry James and Jessie Hutson
Wonderlandsoc: They are not our real names but our assumed names, we must be careful in the way we conduct ourselves
Wonderlandsoc: As you will soon find out a main site would be a vulnerability
Wonderlandsoc: We had to make a daring decision to use Myspace
Wonderlandsoc: I'm sorry, I am being careful and watching everyone that enters this internet cafe
Russell unfic: that is understandable
Russell unfic: where in london are you?
Wonderlandsoc: I don't want to reveal that information
Wonderlandsoc: All you need to know for now is the predicament
CaverRance: ok
Russell unfic: kk
Wonderlandsoc: As you may or may not know the technology used by governments is sometimes in excess of a decade ahead of the rest of the nation
Wonderlandsoc: This was how Alice was born
Wonderlandsoc: A few years ago an elite band of programmers called The Black Hand Gang designed a program so powerful it was seemingly reactive, logical and instinctive like a real person
Wonderlandsoc: Their idea was to sell it to computer games companies, the AI would have revolutionised the way we look at virtual reality
Wonderlandsoc: However, this was not to be
Wonderlandsoc: The British government learned of this program and saw it's capabilities, and they claimed it from the BHG under a clause in the Computer Misuse Act
Wonderlandsoc: That is when I learned of the power of this program and formed a group in order to research this strange move
Wonderlandsoc: After a year or so we realised what the government was doing. They installed the software onto a computer of epic proportions, one that could sustain trillions upon trillions of processes every second
Wonderlandsoc: This combination created a weapon called Alice
Wonderlandsoc: Alice is not a weapon in terms of injury and casulties, but something far worse
Wonderlandsoc: At the click of a button the government could pick out your name and send Alice across the internet like a phantom
Wonderlandsoc: She would hit phone companies, find your numbers, recent calls and location. She could pull out your family tree from research sites, your previous schools, friends and houses
Wonderlandsoc: She could find out your car and registration and find it's location through GPS
Wonderlandsoc: She could access millions of speed cameras and CCTV cameras and watch your every move, and much much more
Wonderlandsoc: I'm sorry, one second
Russell unfic: np
Wonderlandsoc: Ok it's fine, I thought someone was watching me
Wonderlandsoc: Are you all getting what I am typing
Russell unfic: yes with baited breath
Wonderlandsoc: Ok, I will continue
CaverRance: yup
CaverRance: catching it all
CaverRance: inviting another
Wonderlandsoc: We knew of Alice and her capabilities and knew that soon enough she would be accessing every server conntected to the internet, including those overseas - we called ourselves the Wonderland Society
Wonderlandsoc: We are dedicated to stopping the government from developing Alice, and revealing her to the world
Wonderlandsoc: That was until something else happened
Wonderlandsoc: The BHG re-emerged, and they discovered the location of Alice. Out of vengeance they have taken her back, and retreated to a hiding place
CaverRance: hardware and software? or just the software?
Wonderlandsoc: They know of our existence as we do theirs, and they are after us
Wonderlandsoc: Both, Alice is a combination of the two
CaverRance: ok
Wonderlandsoc: We are being tracked and have been forced into hiding, we can not locate Alice without help
CaverRance: ok
CaverRance: how can we help?
Wonderlandsoc: I remembered reading about a community that specialised in puzzles and mysteries and I made the decision to contact you... I am glad I did
Wonderlandsoc: There are ways you can help us, but my time is up, the cafe is empty and I am drawing suspicion - I will do my best to communicate with you all through AIM, Myspace or my email address: summers.jtSPLATgooglemail.com
Russell unfic: so are we
CaverRance: got it
Russell unfic: we will let the others know and await your next update, be safe though
Wonderlandsoc: I have a contact living in outer London who is going to lodge us tonight, if I can get the internet there I will speak to you
CaverRance: very good
Im Not Null: what time?
Wonderlandsoc: If not I will be moving again tomorrow and we will be in contact then
CaverRance: We'll do what we can to help.
Wonderlandsoc: I can not be definite on timing, we have to be random in our movements or we will be caught
Russell unfic: understandable
Wonderlandsoc: The best thing you can do for now if to consolidate your friends and await my word. There are darker things you need to know, but that can wait for now
Wonderlandsoc: Goodbye my friends, and thank you for aiding us
Russell unfic: goodbye
Russell unfic: and good luck
Im Not Null: be safe
CaverRance: take care
Wonderlandsoc has left the room.


So now we wait.

-Muddy

 		Hey
I'm definitely a noob when it comes to ARG's, but I've been checking this stuff out, and it seems incredible. I'm already addicted to normal video games...and this is way more in depth. I hope you guys don't mind if i tag along.

Thanks
