I'm glad that it's starting up again but I feel bad that we seem to have lost Gracey. It's definitely not her that's communicating with us. This is a reply from her email address.

This in Hex originally. So, it seems to me that we can send commands in Hex. About a two hour turn around on this... I'm going to try a DIR just to see if anything happens...

Hey, sorry for the interruption, but do you reckon it would be too late to jump in now?

Sorry if that sounds real n00bish.

No, not too late. In fact it hasnt even started yet!

First off, a warm welcome to unfiction Smile
yes, it does sound n00bish (don't worry) - in fact, you don't have to post anything on any forum to play an ARG. And you certainly don't have to say "oh this looks cool, count me in!" In the first case, there is little good that comes from posting such a post it just adds to the noise and secondly, if you look through a forum where you see 10 pages of these "oh cool I'm playing too" comments, you'll notice that pretty much all of them never post again. Why? it probably doesn't meet their expectations. Or perhaps it didn't turn out to be any good - no one can truly judge the quality of a game without playing it for a bit, or perhaps they remained happy playing along as a lurker. So I'd say to any others, don't commit yourself - play along for sure, post when there's something to say. Play along as you would alongside your own life.

So, welcome to UF. Very Happy

---------
I sent a one liner email to the little girl and also got a username not recognised message decoded from hex as text.

Perhaps we need to email a password to it? "guilt" perhaps? Or gracey? Will try a few...
EDITS: OK I sent emails with just "guilt" "gracey" and "anglevine united" in the body. Left the subject as "hai" Smile

I got my reply from Gracey... If you look a few pages back you'll see it's a very old email. Infact it's the first or second ever email she already originally sent me.

Quote:
Hi Leyton!

I haven't moved from my laptop since I got it working, so I'm really excited to be hearing from my new friends!

SAM-2 is amazing. It's so pretty here and everyone is so nice! I have so many friends here, and I'm so happy that I can meet people online to be my friends now, too! My mommy says that London is in EU-1, but I don't know where London is exactly. But it's silly if you don't even know what territory you're in! You should probably look that stuff up, it's important!

I don't remember anything about SAM-2's name being changed. It's always been SAM-2! At least, as long as I remember. But like my mommy says, the names really don't mean anything. Everything pretty much just runs itself, she says. But if you want, I'll ask if maybe the names are going to be changed soon? I wouldn't mind it very much at all if they renamed SAM-2 to something prettier, like something I've read in books! Maybe "Aladria", or something else graceful and pretty! Or maybe even "Gracey"! Wouldn't that be funny, if I lived in Gracey? And maybe a little confusing, ha ha!


I sent the following back:

Quote:
44 69 72 3a 20 52 75 6e 20 47 72 61 63 69 65


Which in ASCII is:

Quote:
Dir: Run Gracie


I don't know what'll come of it, if anything though.

Maybe try just e-mailing a command that'd show the contents of C: ?

This just reminded me of the Aperture Science site for Portal
The potral site let you enter DOS commands from a B:\> prompt after you logged-in.

I've pre-translated it so you don't have to bother.

Notice the difference in the middle the second time.

I emailed Gracey my email address only (as I noticed responses were asking for a username), and got this reply;

not sure if these are random responses, or due to each others interaction with the 'emailclient', but I didn't send a CD command to GUILT which seems different to other posted responses... jfi

That's what I was trying to do with the DIR command. Haven't gotten anything back, and it looks like we need a pass to get any commands to run anyway. No idea what that would be at this point, since I really don't know who we are communicating with. I know there was some spec earlier that Gracie was an AI, so is this the host? If so, is it in anyway connected to Angelvine? Anyone have any luck tracking them down?

So many questions...

I'm trying to recall what else was in that line she wrote w/ the /guilt/ in it; Something about asking for peace and getting war?
