Everyone PLEASE check your emails from the CM thoroughly...

He made that change deliberately as a "normal" line break (enforced by google mail) would most assuredly have resulted in an equal number of ">" (e-mail quotation signs).

The fact he added 1 ">" in front of them probably is just meant to "hide" them - but hey, all I can do is speculate...

I am fairly certain that the bold names are meaningless actions of our email programs or his. I just wanted to throw in to Smooth that I strongly think that the bold names should not be included. I am iffy however on DerKorks line break. just my .02

 		I sent the CM a poem.:
Quote:
On 8/10/07, Andrea <blessed_is_she> wrote:
It made me think of you
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please Hear What I'm Not Saying


Don't be fooled by me.
Don't be fooled by the face I wear
for I wear a mask, a thousand masks,
masks that I'm afraid to take off,
and none of them is me.


Pretending is an art that's second nature with me,
but don't be fooled,
for God's sake don't be fooled.
I give you the impression that I'm secure,
that all is sunny and unruffled with me, within as well
as without,
that confidence is my name and coolness my game,
that the water's calm and I'm in command
and that I need no one,
but don't believe me.
My surface may seem smooth but my surface is my mask,
ever-varying and ever-concealing.
Beneath lies no complacence.
Beneath lies confusion, and fear, and aloneness.
But I hide this. I don't want anybody to know it.
I panic at the thought of my weakness exposed.
That's why I frantically create a mask to hide behind,
a nonchalant sophisticated facade,
to help me pretend,
to shield me from the glance that knows.


But such a glance is precisely my salvation, my only hope,
and I know it.
That is, if it's followed by acceptance,
if it's followed by love.
It's the only thing that can liberate me from myself,
from my own self-built prison walls,
from the barriers I so painstakingly erect.
It's the only thing that will assure me
of what I can't assure myself,
that I'm really worth something.
But I don't tell you this. I don't dare to, I'm afraid to.
I'm afraid your glance will not be followed by acceptance,
will not be followed by love.
I'm afraid you'll think less of me,
that you'll laugh, and your laugh would kill me.
I'm afraid that deep-down I'm nothing
and that you will see this and reject me.



So I play my game, my desperate pretending game,
with a facade of assurance without
and a trembling child within.
So begins the glittering but empty parade of masks,
and my life becomes a front.
I idly chatter to you in the suave tones of surface talk.
I tell you everything that's really nothing,
and nothing of what's everything,
of what's crying within me.
So when I'm going through my routine
do not be fooled by what I'm saying.
Please listen carefully and try to hear what I'm not saying,
what I'd like to be able to say,
what for survival I need to say,
but what I can't say.


I don't like hiding.
I don't like playing superficial phony games.
I want to stop playing them.
I want to be genuine and spontaneous and me
but you've got to help me.
You've got to hold out your hand
even when that's the last thing I seem to want.
Only you can wipe away from my eyes
the blank stare of the breathing dead.
Only you can call me into aliveness.
Each time you're kind, and gentle, and encouraging,
each time you try to understand because you really care,
my heart begins to grow wings--
very small wings,
very feeble wings,
but wings!


With your power to touch me into feeling
you can breathe life into me.
I want you to know that.
I want you to know how important you are to me,
how you can be a creator--an honest-to-God creator--
of the person that is me
if you choose to.
You alone can break down the wall behind which I tremble,
you alone can remove my mask,
you alone can release me from my shadow-world of panic,
from my lonely prison,
if you choose to.
Please choose to.



Do not pass me by.
It will not be easy for you.
A long conviction of worthlessness builds strong walls.
The nearer you approach to me
the blinder I may strike back.
It's irrational, but despite what the books say about man
often I am irrational.
I fight against the very thing I cry out for.
But I am told that love is stronger than strong walls
and in this lies my hope.
Please try to beat down those walls
with firm hands but with gentle hands
for a child is very sensitive.


Who am I, you may wonder?
I am someone you know very well.
For I am every man you meet
and I am every woman you meet.


Charles C. Finn

 		I went back and checked my saved messages and did not see any additions/removals in his quotes of my emails. I haven't had contact with him in quite some time though, so it may be a recent thing he has started.

uh, why cant you just check your sent mail and compare it to the reply? am i missing somethin here?

well assuming you didnt make ANY typos, the typos in the reply mail are:

expect - expet [missing c]
that - htat [drunken typo? if not, th becomes ht]]
Are you - Ar eyou [(space) e, drunken typo?]
spam - spm [a]


to be honest, the M.O. of the CM's typos up till now has been to ADD letters into someones paragraphs... not remove them. By removing them, it doesnt give us anything, it takes it away. I honestly think these are all drunken typos and theres nothing significant here..


Hotmail doesn't save sent messages - at least not on my account. I mentioned this already...

I would say that the "that" and the "Are you" ones are definitely drunken typos and should be ignored. The others should probably be kept as improbably possibilities.

I agree that they are all most likely drunken typos.

EDIT:

"You've sworn" or something similar seems to be a good guess. Does anyone else think we should start pulling a list together of those who've pledged to the CM and those who've gone over to the Taylors?

If we learn who has sworn allegiance to the CM, maybe we can target thsoe people to harass them about any emails and typos...

 		Well, I have 'pledged my loyalty' - to the death - to CM, & so far it looks like sm00th & I received the 1st 2 e-mails about the same time. I'm hoping that we all get to go out in a cultish blaze of glory. Shocked

sm00th, I don't know about the grayed out initials, but if so...have a look back at the other thread...someone else mentioned it, too...I don't remember who...

So then, for right now what letters do you wat to include?



Sm00thwun: Well - Weu ll [u (space)]

Rabid Kittens: tip off - tworipoff [wor]
Windmill Hill: You - yYou [y]

YouTube: Messsage - message, Get - Got [s, o]

wittious1: After - A'fter [apostrophe]


altogether:

Quote:
u , wor, y, s, o, (apostrophe)



"You worry so"? lol but the apostrophe isnt included..


Quote:
And what letters have a possibility of being used ?



honestly, I have yet to see any possible ones that COULD be added into a code.. mainly we are looking for additions of letters and punctuation to returned mails.. anything else really wouldnt fit into a code of some sort..


AND: I forgot to ask, but Blessed Mercy - Could you either check, or show us what was beneath the "beautiful" comment from the CM? His email should contain a quotation of the poem you had sent him. If there is any mail that he would want to screw around with, it would be yours, seeing as though its a long poem that could encase many additions of letters/puncuation... UNLESS.. its like I first thought, and that he may only be sending the "doctored" mails to new people who have arrived AFTER the end of Phase 1... Im not sure about Rabid though, when did you first start playing Rabid? If my theory is correct, everyone thats received a doctored mail is being "Tested" to see if we are worthy.. this is just a speculation, but I cant think of any other reason why Wabonan hasnt recieved a coded mail yet.. lol jk Wabo.. haha

Well, I joined after the end of Phase 1 - in fact, I even joined AFTER this latest video, and I haven't gotten any doctored emails back.

Maybe it's because I pledged my undying devotion to him. In less creepy words. Very Happy

 		Undying devotion
I am not sure if it matters, but I have made it very clear that I am on The CMs side. I have also made it a point not to post to Michael or anyone else on the FET board since we know that CM has access there.
Juli
PS I haven't gotten any email from CM since August 17th.

wait, what? on the CM's side? I really didnt think it was like a game of dodgeball or something where there are two defined "sides". I thought it was merely people "appreciating" the CM's.. "Artwork" if you will.

Saying that you are on the CMs side is saying you are glad that Eric got kidnapped and will help the CM in any way possible..

exactly what entails being on the Codemaster's "side", anyways?

 		i dont look at it as being glad that eric got kidnapped, just that you feel that he might be teaching eric a lesson about something he did. or CM could be a psyco killer that needs no reason. oh well who am i to judge lol. btw i joined after the end of Phase 1 also and there has not been one typo in any of his replies. and i too havent gotten anything new from him in over two weeks so i guess he is busy making the next vid.

 		I agree, I too favor the CM's 'side'. I have this feeling he isnt as bad a chap* as hes trying to portray

* I'm so British it hurts.

Btw hi guys! So sorry I havent been around. I've checked but dont think there were any typo's in any of my replies from the CM. I'm tired so I'll double check again tommorrow.
I havent heard anything from him in a while, but then again, I havent had chance to contact him either. Smile

 		ok heres the deal. I just emailed the CM a little while ago, as a sort of fishin expedition. I figured id send a somewhat lengthy mail and see what he replies with.. Either this means something, or he is really screwing with me. Id like to think it means something. here is the mail i sent him, followed by the reply from him and the doctored mail.

Original:

Quote:
Im on to you..
To: "Sam Deercot" <samdeercot>
Hello Mr. Deercot,

It's been a little while since we last spoke so I decided to keep my contact with you to a more regular basis. I, as well as everyone else, eagerly await the video of Eric answering our questions. You have made it known that we are not to inquire of your true identity, but the questions we have asked will only allow us more understanding of your motive for kidnapping Eric. What I cannot seem to understand is the fact that your "resume" shows many pictures of people who you insinuate to have killed, in the same fashion that Eric is being held..

I do not buy it, Sammy boy. I think you are a scorned lover who wants us to think about how serious you are of killing this kid. Don't get me wrong though, I do believe you are innocent in the death of Sue Hart.. unfortunately, I believe Eric is the perpetrator in that regard.. But I have to think about that one. You have control over whatever we see. You can easily sway our minds from one direction, to another just by showing us things that may have been taken out of context.. I guess only time will tell.

On another note, I can't help but have a strange feeling that myself, and a few other new people who have joined The Taylor's cause since the end of Phase 1, are being tested by you. I won't bother to say how, because I am sure you already know. I just want you to know, that I am on to you. It has not slipped by me, as much as some of the other players insist otherwise. If you keep sending the codes, then I will continue to piece them together. You will not slip anything past me in that regard, unless one person clumsily overlooks your signals.. I am here to stay, and soon you will see the range of my capabilities, as I have yours..

And finally, you have mentioned something along the lines of checking each others loyalties. By doing so, you have created much suspicion amongst us, which I am positive was your original plan. Bravo. Very well done. It has distracted us long enough for you to begin your next move. Personally, I am above the accusations. My eye is fixed upon you, Mr. Deercot.

Thank you for your time, and I really do hope to hear from you soon, and I'm sure the message will be fruitful...

Sincerely,
Michael (aka Sm00thwunSPLATyahoo.com)

ok, from what I can tell, he only REMOVED stuff, just like he did with windmill. (but in windmills case, we cant be sure cuz he was drunk and hotmail doesnt save sent mails). So here is a list of the things he removed:

he removed the word "Know" from the phrase "already know" (bolded)

"your" removed from "was your original plan"

"eye" is removed from "my eye is"


KNOW YOUR EYE... whats this mean? its obviously some message.. is he telling me to trust what i see? or observations ive made? Hmm.. he sends more perplexing mails.. more questions than answers.. as usual..

let me know what you think guys
