Hmm, it doesn't really looks like a spam. So I think about "flickr" or some image hosting.

And I don't know, why, but I'm thinking about that photoshop awards homepage http://www.worth1000.com/, that is a candidate to Webware 100 Awards 2008, http://www.webware.com/html/ww/100/2008/vote_publish.html?compid=103451

Well, a voting will run until March 31 (whether these are "few days"?..)

I know this sounds off the ball but TheMirror weren't you involved in Project Ophiuchus/Locatemyfriends?

I only ask because that whole message sprung to mind in the sense that in Rebecca's note it said "1000 words embedded in a single picture"

And the latest website known to us in lmf is "1in50million.co.uk"

Could be completely irrelievent like I said but just thought I'd point that out.

that sounds promising! I was only peripherally involved in that game. I'm playing 48 hours in purgatory now, and we tend to get messages from toolground. nothing like this one, though, so I'm not sure if it's 48 hrs or a new game...

This, to me, sounds like a "heads up, something is on the way" message. A preliminary message priming a group, drawing people in so that there is a core group at the start of the game. Something tells me people will be receiving emails with pictures (either attached, in the email itself, or links to them) over the next few days.

We're not sure, PiTiTi. I'm hoping it's for something new.

Now, I might, possibly, have found something. Maybe not, I dunno. I was trying addresses based on the wording of the message.

DIDN'T WORK
thenextfewdays.com
worth1000000.com
worthmillions.com

POSSIBLY SOMETHING
worthamillion.com

I figured since it mentioned words, I would try to spell out a million in words on there. It took me to the parked domain. I checked the source just in case we were only supposed to think it was a parked domain, but nada there. I'd just like to remind people that this is only a possible connection, it might not have anything to do with anything.
