 		Hey, you know, I was mistaken about who you were, but honestly it's cool. Where did you get those PDFs, though?

 		So is there a game here? I just bought this book and am curious about this. Nothing seems to be going on the forum except for a player trying to post in-game. Rolling Eyes

From Mariskajj4:

another simple code is it?

communication is difficult and I am injured. all modes of communication are being monitored.

today I saw a corpse move. it had been there in the same spot for a day or two and I'd been using it as a landmark to find my hiding place. today, as i climbed down into my nest, I thought it moved its head a little, watching me.

This was posted saturday.

The code translates to
Quote:
104 116 116 112 0 58 0 47 0 47 116 104 101 0 45 101 108 101 0 99 116 114 105 0 99 0 45 0 99 104 117 114 0 99 104 0 46 0 99 111 109 0 47 0 63
h t t p : / / t h e - e l e c t r i c - c h u r c h . c o m / ?


The code to that was in html ASCII encoding Our next clue is going to fill in the question mark.

Looked once again at one of mariska J's email reply
Quote:
in the end&^*&#&*------------------------->
a^&^(%* final
-----------------------------<>
termin-&^*&^@:::::::-al(*&&*(@*&


And noticed a mistalke, it isnt in the end, final, terminal, its "In the end, A final terminal" So far the hint is still vague, but sending mariska j a reply with the code from her forum post i got the reply "Another simple code is it?"

After askign her
Quote:
Where is the final terminal
She sent back an empty reply

Did you check the source code for the reply? Might be something hidden there.

 		Bleh aparently the empty reply was to me hoping to gain more trust with her. The email reading " Im going to save you" But it is odd i didn't get a generic reply

And yeah the page source didnt show anything, tho i use gmail so, it was kinda chaotic in there

This is exactly what i had recieved from her, the "show quoted text" is simply the 25 + emails ive had go back and fourth mostly the " am off grid" jargon

Quote:
in the end&^*&#&*------------------------->
a^&^(%* final
-----------------------------<>
termin-&^*&^@:::::::-al(*&&*(@*&

<SESSION>

Gotta be something in this besides the message "In the end a final terminal"



To recap, The clues we have are as Follows:

Even now, I am afraid to move.
My batteries on this handheld are low
and I have no way of charging them.
Instinct tells me not to trust communications anyway.
Lines are party these days--they're sussing out survivors.
So I have to find other, more obscure ways of communicating.
In fact, a lot of what I say will mean nothing.
Going to die here, I suspect.
Not without a fight, of course.
And why should I survive anyway?
Too many others, dead, half the city or more--maybe everyone.
Unfair, isn't it.
Rightfully, I should have been one of the first to go.
Even now, I am afraid to move.
First major post with bread crumbs..."EMaILSIGNATURE"

 		Yeah, I've converted the symbols to numbers and tried about a million variations of everything.

I emailed the mariska lady and only got the "in the end, a final terminal" email back.

No idea what to do next. I think the numbers in the final terminal email (and possibly eulers number) probably lead us to the next webpage...but I'm at a loss.

 		Well, it might be relevant that "in the end" "final" and "terminal" all kind of mean the same thing: "final" -- and that we are also looking for something to put 'at the end' of that URL...

But beyond that, I got nothin'

 		Aye, I think we need more info on google, Euler's number, and someone to go through mariska's stuff to see what other crmbs are there. I have a sneaking suspision that we're over looking the clue. We can do it.

Hey all... I'm fairly new to the world of ARGs... did some of the Lost Experience and have followed a few puzzle trails here and there, but never anything full-fledged. I started poking around the electric church site today after reading this forum though, and found something interesting? Dunno if it's been noticed yet, but I know that trying to 'link guess' usually leads to a generic 404 site. However, I tried http://the-electric-church.com/Euler/ annnd it pops up a user-name and password prompt. Should we be sleuthing around for log-in combos, or is this just an admin security measure for the PMs?

Nope. That's probably good. I tried that yesterday about 2 PM EST and just got the 404 error message. Lets try to get in!

Nice find.

 		Yay! Razz My first find on my own... heh. Anyway, I shot an email to Mariska on the off chance she might feed us more clues on the log-in, but I'm wondering if we've already got them somewhere.

Nothing when trying to de-steg. The title of the pic is "What's Behind the Green Door?" I emailed the same question to Mariskajj4.
