 		[TRAILHEAD] "Rabbit Hole"
Just got myself an email, not sure what to make of it yet and i'm involved in a lot right now. Figured I'd throw it to the lions (you lot :p)

Quote:
Hi do you play ARGs? I got your email from unforums.

http://alexrobertgreen.blogspot.com/

Rabbit rabbit rabbit?

I got sent this bunny-symbol picture in an email with the subject line "rabbit hole", tried emailing back but kept failing, weird huh? Now I've gone and accidentally deleted the original email.

Did anyone else receive it too?

Anyway after a bit of googling the term rabbit hole I realised it might be the start of an "Alternate Reality Game" of some kind, which sounds kind of cool.
Don't know why it was sent to ME though?

I told a load of people from an ARG forum called unforum about it; I'll see what they make of it.Please let me know if anyone works it out!


with a reply from "stephanie and abercrombie" (not sure if she's ig or oog)
Quote:
Stephanie and Abercrombie said...
Yeah I got that toooo! Dunno why either but I think it's kinda cute ^^ dunno what it's about though, maybe the symbol means something? :S Glad you saved it, mine was in my spam and I left it in there and now it's gone ☹ hope it's not a virus? Email me at stephandaberSPLATyahoo.co.uk if you find anything, or you can get me on my blog of course Very Happy

'stephandaber's blog has apparently had all entries deleted.


Alex's first blog says:

Hi I'm Alex, welcome to my new blog.

I will be mainly reviewing webpages and cool stuff that I find on the web in general, if you ahve anything I might find interesting or want to advertise on my page don't hesitate to email me at alex.robert.greenSPLAThotmail.co.uk!



Obviously, Alex's name is A.R.G. What's odd and possibly controversial, is that he refers to ARGs and Unfiction...

 		I got this one too. Rolling Eyes But, lets give it a try, eh? Maybe it'll get me back on my ARG feet.

I tried changing the brightness and contrast of the PIC to see if there was a hidden word or something, but no dice. Maybe it is stegged?

I also emailed Alex regarding the contents and sender of the original email.

EDIT: also, as of five minutes ago there is not mozaiq.atspace.com , freewebs.com/mozaiq or mozaiq.blogspot.com

 		Could be something...
probably nothing...
A quick search turned this up. It's possibly nothing but, it caught my eye because it's a UK site and at least one of the email receivers is also UK.

http://www.mosaiq.co.uk/

EDIT: Nevermind. I tracked down the company, it looks OOG.

 		Looking at the website- hmmm, nice graphics- but I do doubt it's anything to do with this.

EDIT: and since this is mars omega's website http://www.marsomega.com/ I really, REALLY doubt it.

SECOND EDIT: Got a reply.

Quote:
Hi Saevita,
I'm afraid i really don't remember the address it was some garbled code, the email itself was blank. Kicking myself now for deleting it, but I had a lot of junk and I just deleted the whole of my inbox without thinking!
Alex.


THIRD EDIT: and a minute or two later I got Steph's reply.

Quote:
heylo Saevitia,

No I don't know him, i just got the same image emailed
to me and i noticed his blog entry when browsing about
on blogger.

Did you recieve the image too then?

Steph Smile

 		well I told him about the hex code and got this
Quote:
wow cool, I thought it was just some random number or something. Just had to look up what hex is, learn somethign new everyday! haha
I have no idea what mosaiq could mean, you sure that's the exact spelling? i tried googling it but it's just some company...
Alex.

I tried some of the typical sites with profiles, nothing stood out (blogspot, youtube, myspace, livejournal, etc)

 		Got the email too. This is certainly interesting - ARG in an ARG?

But anyways, I'll keep an eye on this one.

I'll email

 		Not sure if this is connected, but I gave it a shot that he put "Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit" up top. I entered it into google, and a wikipedia entry popped up.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_rabbit

Quote:
Instead of saying "rabbit, rabbit", saying just "rabbit", or "rabbits". Some also extend it to three rabbits: "rabbit, rabbit, rabbit," which has some of the earliest written references.
The earliest referenced usage may be to saying "rabbits" three times before going to sleep the last night of the month, and then "hares" three times first thing upon waking, though just two years later, it was three "rabbits" in the morning with no "hares" at all.


As close to an interesting find as i could.

Also, in the word Mosaiq, the letters technially can be inverted save for the S and Q, which would end up as a Z and P respectively, giving us piazoM, though that's just an innane observation. Haven't found anything to substantiate it yet. its probably nothing.

 		Well, one thing I noticed is the rabbit looks suspiciously like the VW Rabbit logo (see http://www.cartype.com/page.cfm?id=1478&alph=all&dec=all). Just with less detail.

Also, Mosaic (no Q) was an early web browser.

Hi!
It's been a long while since I have been active. Whomever is responsible for this has done a bit of digging to find people to e-mail.

Also, a note to future people who use this method, please please use the bbc function of your mail program. Even if I do have my email as public on Unfiction and available for Puppetmasters to contact with initial trailheads, I have not given permission for Puppetmasters to broadcast it to everyone and anyone before I have signed up for participation in their respective offerings ... Thanks loads.

 		It kinda reminds me of the Duplo rabbit :p

Also reminds me of one of those optical illusions - is this a rabbit or a pelican (*shudder*)? Or just an ornate oven glove.

Tried all sorts of mosaiq searches, had a name match on Flickr but seems to just be some emo-y photographer. shrug.

I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING XD!

I've emailed alex asking if he could give the sender of the rabbit's email address.
