And the message translates to:

Liza Marsh was my apprentice, she is no longer with us. Leon King is a good� student who I wanted to bring on board Project Messiah with me before he was rudely diverted�

And after Binary, I have no idea what that last chunk is.

Project Messiah is something I've been working on since 2000. It deals with, well... Let's just say anything you find within ApaceMindset was MY work.

Lets hope they weren't listening to The World Service, or watching satelite TV; I guess it's a good a ref point as any I suppose. At least he's been brushing up on his morse code while he's been stuck in his box. Some nice punctuation there Razz

From apace.mindsetSPLATgooglemail.com, retrieved from my junk mail Embarassed Not very enlightening.

I had mailed asking if the Hex code in the 2nd email was possibly an inside joke or riddle and said I enjoyed those
as did a casual acquaintance, Liza Marsh. And I inquired if she had also applied as a recruit.

I am sorry but, I must say you probably haven't figured out the code then, Amandel.

There was no joke, not on our part here at ApaceMindset at least and I nor any of my staff have heard of a Liza Marsh.

I had also sent a reply to Apace Mindset asking if I was on track in decoding it, and they responded today with

The answer was 20110480


Haven't had any luck figuring out the significance yet.

I would email that answer to Apace Mindset but I'm sure they will think I got it from you.

Totally lost, but I read through the first several pages and agree that it sounds very Dark Towerish. (I expect you all have already confirmed/denied this in the pages I didn't read)

Is there a wiki yet, or any kind of breakdown for those that had no internet access for near a month?

I loved the Dark Tower, was obsessed for it a while.

Anyone out there who was playing this game?

I've a request... Can someone try to get a hold of anyone who knows Leon King? You see, we think he is involved in another ARG we're playing called Lif3. We just want to question him, but we have no earthly idea how to contact him, besides his Blog email and the people he knows.

Thanks for your time! Hopefully we can help the characters in Lif3!

I received this email last night with the subject "success"
Quote:
Hello and welcome to the world of APACEMINSET!

Firstly, I must apologize for the longest of long waits before applications were processed but believe it or not we were absolutely inundated with requests to join the Apace Mindset team!! It's been a hell of a blow to us all, believe me! Our systems were shut down for quite some time, caused a hell of a bother with some of the guys in the mainstream department, I can tell you.

Now let me get to the point of this email, it is to congratulate you, on becoming the newest member to our team! Below will outline your department and area of Apace Mindset and then soon enough, we shall set sail, for the "unknown!"

Firstly your number for specification is: 02805.
Department: Locale 4: Sector XII: Main Component.
Area: Scientific research and Gaming institute.

I shall be getting back to you, with further information. However, if you have recently acquired another placement elsewhere PLEASE email back as soon as is reasonably possible; and I shall delete your information for our files.

Good day to you, and remember. Set your mind free!

I don't understand Leon could be related to Lif3 and it looks like I have 18 pages to read through before I will understand.
Leon's email address is king.leon98SPLATgooglemail.com
I was communicating to him with Morse code, he was being held captive in London.

Whoa! Sector XII!! That settles it, Lif3 and Weirdnesscity are connected. In case anyone doesn't see it, in the Lif3 ARG we've recently been contacted by coded messages from some organization named "Sector XII". They've warned us to be safe as the crap is about to hit the fan. They recented shut down all email communication for alot of the characters we were talking to.

So, i guess that Lif3 isn't a crossover but rather a continuation of Weirdnesscity. However, it's odd that Lif3 would take such a left turn with this "big brother" concept....

Hey gang, I'm playing Lif3 and emailed our Leon King. I think this ABSOLUTEY confirms that the two games are connected. Care to help us out!!? http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=27016

Okay, who are you?

I was told that my gaming process was a beta test trial and that nobody would know about it? The Government apparently doesn't agree with what Apace are doing, think it's immoral or whatever? I on the other hand thinks it's freakin' great! I mean imagine the possibilities!?

And besides... With the fact that I'm possibly dying (no offence, would rather not discuss my illness) I thought hey, what the hell! You only live once right?

Goway was an imp, an imp whom I met in a game I played about a year or so ago... A game I had created with my own mind, my own imagination with the help of course of books; Stephen King etc. But I tell you now it's fantastic! The experience at least...

Except of course one of my old Professors, the guy you mentioned, Broxbourne. He tried to warn me away from it all, said he had worked somewhat on some of the stuff A.M did and it wasn't all about Gaming. But, by that point it was too late. I'll tell you something for nothing though, those games mess with your head; once you're inside you know NOTHING about the outside world, you seem to forget absolutely everything that has happened before you enter that world. - And they say you can contact people through space, time and other dimensions IE: I guess the way some people contacted me when I was A.M-Gaming.

At first I thought they were real, the surroundings were real, but now that I'm out of the A.M building here I realize I must have been chatting with people in the "real" world. I wonder if they knew I was inside a "game" - They tried explaining something to me (A.M) once before, said that warning a player they're playing a game is like trying to wake a dreaming dog; it should never be done.

...Wait, you said Diane had been experiencing things right? Well, I told her to visit A.M and join a game once they went Global. This was about a month or so ago.The last communication I got from her was on AIM telling me she'd met up with a guy called Lance and a girl named Maria who were beta testing on Sector XII; she and a couple of others recieved trial invites about two weeks later.

So this is all my fault, right?
