The Werewolf game

Ok, I'll move this out of the spam thread because it's looking more and more like a trailhead. This is my previous post .....

I don't think this is spam, but I'm not sure it's a trailhead either...I'm probably just crazy but it seems kind of real to me so I wanted to share it here.

I received this email (which I assumed was a trailhead at the time even though nobody else had posted about it here)

Quote:

Hello, Rachel.Friday, August 1, 2008 11:11 PM
From: "Host Man" <yourfriendlyhost>To: waitress200699SPLATyahoo.com

-----Inline Attachment Follows-----

You don't know me, and I don't know you, but consider my proposal. You remember the 5 that ruined your life. I know you do. Those five deserve punishment. And I am willing to offer you the means to carry out that punishment. If you'll accept my proposal, your life will be in danger if the five discover you and your plans. But, then again, you shall have a chance to give them their punishment. And I will simply watch; I will not interfere. Why do I do this, you ask? I'm just a friendly man who likes to give people a second chance at life. Now, my little wolf, will you play along? There are five little rabbits waiting for you...

My reply

Quote:

I'm not Rachel, and if you don't know me how would you know that the 5 had ruined my life?But....I am willing to play along.

His reply

Quote:

...
It seems in my age I have put one zero too many in your e-mail adress. I apologize.
I'm not sure you're willing to play my twisted games. You've not been wronged. And murder is an act not many can carry out without incentive. And I have none to offer you. I apologize.

So I decided to see if the email address with one less 0 than mine existed and sent this note to it

Quote:

This might seem like an odd question because I don't know you and you don't know me. Who are the 5 that ruined your life? I think I might be better able to help you than the one who calls himself happyhostman.

I received a response to both emails really quickly...
From Rachel at waitress20699SPLATyahoo.com

Quote:

...How do you know about this?
I was just requested to join his 'game'...
...Are you Casey?
...If you are, I may very well see you in a week. If the man holds true on his promise

Quote:

...Apparently this 'Mr host man' made a typo. Your email adress is remarkably close to mine. You're probably not Casey then.
Prove to me you can help me. Why would you want to? What do you think you can even do for me?
Anyway, I'll answer your question for the hell of it.
Casey Oliss.
Jacob Miller.
Danielle Scarlsford.
Michael Ortenmyer.
Lucas Fleur.

...It was them. They did it...

From happy host man

Quote:

...Wait a second. You say you'd be willing to play along?
Well, you may be a bit far away, but perhaps you'd be able to
participate in the fun. Query me if you're truly interested.

I replied to Rachel

Quote:

Mr. host man seems to think that murdering your enemies would help you, I disagree.If they ruined your life I think it would be better to ruin theirs in return. Why give them an easy way out.

Her reply to me

Quote:

Easy way out? Hardly.
I will make them feel their pain. And it seems his game is a game of Werewolf. Have you ever heard of Werewolf?
Everyone seems to be a Rabbit. We all think we're together. But one by one, the Werewolf kills them off, and they argue amongs one another until they are all dead, or until they find the liar.
I think I'm a good enough liar.
And they will feel hell before they go.
Their lives were ruined with mine, but I don't think it makes a difference. They haven't felt my full fury yet.

I replied to happy host man

Quote:

I said I would be willing to play along...but I wasn't aware that murder was part of your plan when I said that. Murder isn't a game......it's not something you play at.I am willing to play along, but no I am not interested in murdering someone....catching a murderer

His reply to me

Quote:

Well then, perhaps you can help one of the innocents in our little game. I can put their life in your hand. And their choices will be made by you.
This outta be fun. I've never had a game before like this.

Hopefully someone else received similar emails today. Shocked

ETA: I have had more communication with Rachel

Quote:

I've heard from our mysterious host that you've decided to play along...
Do you know who you're 'playing' as?
On another note, I can't back out of the deal.
He's already got agreements from everyone involved, apparently.
We're going to be moved to a place to play... in a week.

My response

Quote:

If the other 5 had their lives ruined why would you still want revenge? Are you responsible for their ruined lives? If so why try to hurt them more?
He wants me to help the innocents in the game, he says their lives will be in my hands. If they are innocent why should they be involved at all.
On a lighter note I googled the werewolf game. I have played a similar game, for werewolfs we had HoHo's for townfolk we had cookies and the seer was the Twinkie. But all in all the same game. I must admit I wasn't very successful in the game.

Her response

Quote:

I...
See what you mean...
I would retract joining it, but it's already too late. Once I accepted, I'm forced to play. I've heard of the man before, and once someone registers for his game, he doesn't allow you to retract your joining...
I guess once I get there, I'll just tell them I'm the wolf, and tell them we need to work together to escape...
I hope they don't accept his offers to play.

and this one

Quote:

Uughhh...
Oh god.
Please, please, help.
I'm sure those of us who are not 'playing' can help us 'win', if you can be good enough to figure out how to save us...
Or maybe it's rigged.
I don't know.
I'm scared.

I wrote to hostman telling him I didn't want to play his game

Quote:

Why would you have innocents involved in the game. If they are innocent why would you want to hurt them.
It sounds like I wouldn't have any control over the game play so I would not be willing to have the responsiblity for their lives in my hands.
This doesn't sound as much like helping someone exact revenge as it does an act of terror on innocents.

Here is his reply titled I suppose you'll be wanting these

Quote:

The following are email adresses for the other participants in our game, our battle of wits.
Danielle Scarlsford.
dannyscarlsSPLATaol.com
Jacob Miller.
jakeblerSPLATlive.com
Lucas Fleur.

I hope we can have fun together, Miss Smith.

Thats a lot of quote boxes. I also find it very odd/neat that he specifically used you for his trailhead by spinning off your own e-mail account.

so i mailed casey just asking if she knew rachel.

Quote:

oh hi there
yes, i know her
and she is going to pay
well i dont think the game is going to have any other members
and im a pretty good wolf if I do say so myself
i dont know you, and it might be tougher getting you to lose than people i do know, and even thats hard

so i guess its by invite only? Sad

sounds like a hitchcock movie to me.

I think it's for everybody according to Rachel's last email. I think you need to email yourfriendlyhostSPLATgmail.com. He is the ring leader obviously.
My latest email from Rachel

Quote:

From what it seems, he'll be giving you a chance to 'talk' to us, somehow, while we're 'playing' his game.
I'm guessing we'll be giving you information, and you'll be giving it back to us.
And, from further conversation, apparently in his 'games', there are... hints. On how to make it out.
Maybe you can help us make sense of these... hints...
Then again, he might make it harder, because there are external people involved.

I think you would be external people right?

ETA/ new email from hostman

Quote:

So, it appears you're trying to get other people to help play? And supposedly win? Well then! That's all the more challenge for me! Tell them, and everyone else you're trying to invite, that they can play along too.

from casey

Quote:

She...
they all ruined my life
they shoved me off the building
and now my bottom half of my body is useless
do you know how that feels
to be half of a woman

seems like everyone is/has killed or hurt everyone else. asked her about the list of names

Quote:

yes
and rachel
all of them
will finally be punished
by my own hands

from rachel..

Quote:

Yes, I know them.
They will pay.
My brother would have been happy to know that his killers will finally have justice.

when asked about casey being pushed

Quote:

How did you know about that...?
It was after. And after that, more happened. We all were destroyed at once.
But however it happened, they're all still horrible people. And they will pay for their crimes. To me, and to each other.

starting to get replys slowly from the other names on the list will post later..

...Them.
Those people.
How the hell do you know them?
Stay away from them. They ruined my life, they'll ruin yours too.
But don't worry. I will punish them.

Quote:

One month ago...
A series of tragedies.
Everyone fell apart.
Thanks to each other.
I lost my freedom.
They lost other things.
Now they will lose their lives.

Quote:

I do not know the man, but he has given me an excellent opportunity. I thank him for it.

I see. Welcome aboard, you'll be helping the bunnies, like the rest of your compatriats.

Fun, helping them against the werewolf. When do I get my complimentary steel bullet and glock?(Is what I asked)

Hehe. Sorry, but you're not gonna be the one with the Glock. You'll be helping them out though.
I admire your creativity, and your apparent un-seriousness about this game will certainly come in handy. Your associates are far too serious.

and the point is...

Quote:

Apparently you're not understanding what's going on.
Between three days and one week, we're being taken to an abandoned building. We'll be knocked out beforehand. There is no escape until the wolf dies, or until all the bunnies die.
And there we will figure out who the liar is, and they will kill the liar.
I will be the wolf, and therefore supplied with the weapons.
And nobody can stop me.
Because I'm no liar.

That's surprising. I would think you'd be on the team of the bunnies.
Confusing, I have to admit.

Oh, the bold. Apologies for that. I'm on a crap computer, that does stuff like that occasionally. Not trying to send a message out through it or anything; no need to waste your time.

i, for one, don't beleive a word of that. none of her other messages did that
