First, If we put the encoded messages from the initial emails into the same order Skywing put the end sentences in we get:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I th I nk I ma D ea m I stakep h I ll I p I dont th I nk I bel ong outhere.
In tHe dark placES betwEEn and betwEEn i have FOunD Your naMe.
I don teve NK NO wwhe th eran ybo dyCan hEa rme.
Thel onel iness OFT hee mpty spa ceS iS overwhelming
Ever y thi ngYO uc areab oUt WI ll oned a ySe emwOr thl ESS.
ISA wher on ceonm YS creenshe cAmEba ck ANd sotoo shall I.

or:

I think I made a mistake Phillip. I don't think I belong here.
In the dark places between and between I have found your name.I don't even know whether anybody can hear me.
The loneliness of the empty spaces is overwhelming.
Everything you care about will one day seem worthless.
I saw her once on my screen. She came back and so shall I.
(additional punctuation mine.)


If we use this as the order for the uppercase letters frome the ROT-13'd messages we get:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
IDIIII
HESEEEEFODYM
NKNOCE
OFTSS
YOUWIYSOESS
SAYSAEAN

or:

IDIIIIHESEEEEFODYMNKNOCEOFTSSYOUWIYSOESSSAYSAEAN


This still doesn't seem to mean anything, though. The long string of "I"s seems to imply its not ROTed. Any other type of code it could be? Does anyone think the odd spacing of the ROT-13'd parts means anything? Perhaps a way to solve the alleged code in the uppercase letters?

Second:

Abraxas is considered a dual-natured deity; both supreme good and ultimate evil. Black and white, male and female, all that jazz. This seems to play into the whole Vanadium/Bleach dichotomy as well as the posts from Tanya about Harakles, Kastor and Pollux. This may mean nothing but it seems to point to what I think we all supsect: Tanya is either in on it or she can help us understand some of the spookiness.

I humbly suggest that Arkaham ask Tanya if she has read Herman Hesse's Demian. It could be a good way to get her talking about Abraxas...

Quote:
"The bird fights its way out of the egg. The egg is the world. Who would be born first must destroy a world. The bird flies to God. That God's name is Abraxas" - Hermann Hesse, Demian


EDIT: funny, I was just looking through the old entries in Megan's blog and on of the Peter Pan quotes from the "Free, And With The Wind At My Back" post caught my eye:

Quote:
Hitherto Hook had thought it was some fiend fighting him, but darker suspicions assailed him now.

"Pan, who and what art thou?" he asked huskily.

"I'm youth, I'm joy," Pan answered at a venture. "I'm a little bird that has broken out of the egg."


Seems eerily similar to the Hesse quote, but it may be coincidence... or meaningless...

I've been working on the capitals all morning and can't find much of anything. I do think the capitals are important, but for the life of me I can't figure out what it is they're supposed to be telling us.

As far as the emails go, I'd say right now there's not much chance of a quick response. From what I understand, Australia's in the middle of a pretty severe heat wave, and there have been a few technical problems with the sites and the IG forums associated with the game. Right now, I'd say just wait it out, as most of us haven't been getting replies to our emails.

Just got all caught up and noticed that there is a new anonymous comment on Phil's blog. Check out the "Help!" entry.

"I can Hear her, too. Shes Always waiTing, with you forEver."

This might be someone messing around.


Also...

http://webmail.vanadiumnet.com

I have been trying to crack into her work email account for a while now and no dice. I have tried moira-angela, mkyle, megan, megank, megankyle, megan.kyle; and then all of those with @vanadiumnet.com tack to the end of them. I wouldn't mind some brute force with the name. Typical american defaul work email accounts are usually... first initial last name at companyname.com. Maybe it's different in Oz?

Also, for passwords I was thinking.. maybe clockodile or Abraxas.

Honestly, with no word or activity from this thing in so long, I'm thinking it's dead. I know a few other people that think the same thing.

Maybe this?

Hey everyone, I've been reading over this for a couple hours now, and I've decided to join up and offer some help.

At the website http://xkcd.com, I was looking through some previous comics, when I came across something that I found most odd. Now, I don't know much about math, so there may be some kind of joke here that I'm not getting, but the following comic seemed interesting:



And when you hover over, it says:

"RFC 1149.5 specifies 4 as the standard IEEE-vetted random number."

The link to the actual comic is: http://xkcd.com/c221.html

I could be looking into this way too much, but I figured I'd post it anyways.

It's a programming joke, and I doubt it applies to WIMK (which I believe imploded)

The function there will return a "random" number...that will always be 4. IEEE-vetted just refers to the standards that govern the language and joke about how perfectly functional code can still be useless as all get-go.

Great comic, though.

Yeah, it imploded. Would've been nice if the PMs gave us some kind of signal, especially before I called Australia and left a message on Megan's answering machine, but hey, I guess those painful long distance charges don't matter, right?

(02) 6100 4023 from her Space on MSN. 011 61 261004023 is what I had to dial to get through, being in another country and all. It connects to an answering machine that states that you've reached Megan Kyle. I called it a couple times and left a message once trying to maybe spark some activity, but yeah. Nothing.

At this point, I don't think it matters. They've obviously abandoned the game.
