 		allright, so when you click on dennis squalor, binary appears interspersed between the lines of text, although it just says "madness" over and over, so... I think the bases and decoders that appear in green in the place of the menu are supposed to be used, but I dont see any more jumbled lines or anything.

 		If you notice at the top of the page it says verification code.

I looked around, then I asked BrotherAjax, what was the verification code.

He replied:

Quote:
There are many codes. Some are simple. Others more complex. Explore. Then go home. That is the way.


So I did the following, reading the homepage again he mentions a lot of numbers he had "one hundred" highlighted. I thought it was that, but of course not too easy.

So I picked each number giving me this: 9010012612652610001000000

And that is the verification code, and it gives you this:

 		Well, I've been talking with Ajax for clues. I told him he wasn't answering my questions and his response was:

Quote:
To tell you the truth, there is still part of me that doubts..FEED INTERRUPTION..Hello? You wanted to ask about the Electric Church?


Do i smell a another character? Or perhaps a secret?

 		Yeah, bunch of codes on that page, and I'm no good at codes...

So I won't even try.. But I'll try to send an e-mail to Ty Kieth, and see what he's got to say..

A "People's Church" type ARG? Interesting. Ask him if he's ever heard of Jim Jones.

Quote:
Because I have no skin


Wtf?

Also: He doesn't have answer for "Do You Know Jim Jones?"

 		Ok, nice find Vman.

I was looking at Jeffrey Sommers blog, and he mentioned that orbitbooks.net posted the first chapter of his book.

Don't know if this has to do with anything but maybe it will be an interesting read.

 		Likewise Lola, Smile, I'm gonna read the first chapter of this book simply to learn more, see if it gets the ol' detective juices flowing hehe.

Oh, and I am sending emails to both squalor and ty, and is there anythign anyone wants me to ask about?

Quote:
To Squalor (SqualorSPLATthe-electric-church.com)

I have some questions about the electric church and in general.

1. what is the current year?
2. How do I get involved in becoming a member of the congregation?
3. Who do I contact to talk with about becoming a member in real time?
4. Where is the electric church compund located?

thank you very much, I look forward to learning about this wonderful new process.


Quote:
To Ty: (TykiethSPLATgmail.com)

Are you okay? It seems like you are kind of frantic in warning people about the electric church, yet you are strangely ubiquitous on the TEC chat, is that really you? Anyways, I am jsut a simple man looking for answers, if you could contact me back that would be wonderful. Really looking forward to seeing what's really going on.


[edit-use the 'quote' function for emails, use the 'spoiler' for solved puzzles in case someone else wants to try to solve it before seeing the answer. Thanks - kona]
