EDIT: I created a new thread here in N&R to serve as a central place for email-decoding efforts since we don't know what game they belong to or certain. Check it out here: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=25762

zomg many pages! I also received the seemingly unrelated email. The variant I received was already posted here somewhere.

Eep, I have to spend more worktime on ARGing if I'm ever to keep up.

The unrelated email is apparently part of Silverladder, so you haven't missed terribly much other than a little "Yes, monkeyboy is IG" from the PM. There's no less confusion over what to be looking at than before. XD

The previous emails dealing with Korporation and the Spades seem very different from this last "astronomical one".

Those previous emails allthough scrambled show a picture of a confrontation between the Korporation http://silverladder.despoiler.org/index.php?title=The_Korporation and the "Spades" whatever they are http://silverladder.despoiler.org/index.php?title=Spades
All that is known about spades is that they represent chaos (feels more like anarchy to me infact) and so far 3 of their members have been revealed. One of which (four of spades) has been kidnapped and is being held bythe Korporation, who are conducting some sort of experients on him since they have found him unconscious and are trying to make him " controllable". Korporation represents order in it's totalitarian form and is thus a natural enemy of "Spades".

Quote from the Korporation page:
January 31, 2008 – Strengthening its position as a worldwide sales leader and manufacturer of high-quality products and life-altering services, The Korporation is pleased to announce the recent acquisition of both an experimental Deck device known as "The Box" and a low-ranking card, the Four of Spades.

and also there --

The acquisition of this asset and personnel will bring additional competence, metaphysical know-how and rabbit-hole capabilities complementary to The Korporation's existing base of marketing and design expertise. The Four of Spades' knowledge base ranges from mania to dementia, with advanced experience in subjection to various types of physically, mentally and spiritually damaging testing. This will serve him well in the upcoming weeks.

What we also have in the emails are mentions of clubs (members of the corporation) and an Ace... The word "Spades" is mentioned very often therefore i tend to believe this is actually an "Ace of Spades"

And to conclude my wild guessing I'd say this new card that has revealed itself - "The Ace of Spades" is telling the Korp to release 4 of spades or he will press some kind of charges... It feels to me he is asking them to desist and not the other way around...

If you flip through all these scrambled emails this is the only theory that kinda makes sense.

The last email however deals with Terrel - who is supposedly an "Ace of Diamonds" http://silverladder.despoiler.org/index.php?title=Diamonds according to this: http://silverladder.despoiler.org/index.php?title=Terrell
(Terrell is rumored to be the Ace of Diamonds (and all other things that bling), thus Aaron moving in next door to him would be a synchronisity. Terrell is ALSO rumoured to have the last name of Jackson and be Samuel L. Jackson's cousin.)

And now we have a whole new twist - the astronomical bodies, planets, ephemerides etc etc since it attests the arrival of a new "power" in game - the diamonds...

What i managed to get out of this last email: A feeling of concern about "Discovery" (also mentioned discoverers) with the help of "Sattelites" (on orbits) being high-precision tools and somehow belonging to the project HORIZONS. (Hope that has nothing to do with Horizons MMORPG lol) Lots of "solar" and "system" shows us where this is all taking place. Then we have, planets, asteroids, comets even and last but not least "bodies" with the word "hide" mentioned quite often and usually next to "Terrel". The word "observe" also mentioned quite often.

All in all this boils down to someone observing... and Discovering ... within solar system... and being concerned...

I'd invest some time into "Ephemerides" since (given they also mentioned the date!) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephemerides.... Quote Sic! For scientific uses, a modern planetary ephemeris comprises software that generates positions of the planets and often of their satellites, or of asteroids or comets at virtually any time desired by the user. Often there is an option to find the velocities of the bodies of interest, as well.

But in general I do not see it as a puzzle at all. I'd say this is a hioghly intriguing kind of "please wait" that makes us go on a wild goose chase while giving some hints here and there and gradually relating the "story"... It's not that I have anything against geese and chasing

Hope this helps

Astronomical one? *is confused*

The unrelated emails, we think, are unrelated. Their discussion's been moved to a thread in the Silverladder foums and far as anyone can tell AreYouFollowingThis and Silverladder are separate games.

It seems like the summer's start has triggered multiple games to begin/resume all at once and just happen to be sending emails to the same people.

Edit: And btw, Terrel isn't relevant to anything. He's just kinda a running joke.

The Arabic letters are sh-i-n-j-a but I don't know what that means. Like Hebrew, written Arabic tends to leave out unstressed vowels.

Remember that it is not just the Arabic language that uses the Arabic alphabet - other languages such as Urdu and Farsi (Persian) do too (just as English, French, German etc. use the same alphabet).

Komissar, here is the original Korporation vs. Spades conflict:

Polina wrote this on my FB wall:

[VindicatedEagle]

I don't even know where to post this anymore. These ARE related? The new web site from the SilverLadder guy has something to do with Parousia Ministries?

I'm SO CONFUSED!

but... Just got this from him, about an hour ago I see.

[Komissar]

*Plunging headlong into Silverladder stuff*

Another wild Guess: What if Korporation is Tianlong?
That would explain Polina being sponsored by them...
Polina is a Russian name btw abd Russians and Chinese are in alliance here remember?

So who is this Israeli guy? definetely he is a part of Silverladder since he is NOT the corporation. Then he is gotta be either "Diamonds" since he doesn't think much of clubs and refers to clubs as "them", Spades are chaotic and mostly encrazed so he's hardly Spades (unless he is The Ace of Spades (the card that will be revealed last)). And Hearts are associated with Love - that'd be the Parousia ministry then. This guy don't sound like Love anywho

And Komi keeps on diggin'

Terrel is a sign in front of his house? That means he is Terrel's neighbour...
And that in turn means... hmm where did I find this lol

EDIT: 2 mins later:

[pancito]

I still don't see how this is related. Enlighten me, please.

Someone needs to tell Apollinariya to be very careful in Mexico. She was doing research for Parousia but didn't know what she was doing (as far as I can tell). That makes her a target, and at the moment she is our only contact. We need to keep her alive. I can't say anything because I'm the guy w/ the tinfoil hat. veebee? Kos?
