 		Well, either she was saying she'd keep fighting, but got killed, or had a plan to get away or fake her death or something.

So I donno, she's either alive or dead. I think the question is whether this 'B' character is on our side or not. If he's with us, then it wouldn't be a bad idea to let him in on the secret. If he's against us, letting him know she might be alive could cause 'Them' to go after her again.

Maybe the other blog is her personal blog or something? We'll know if she keeps posting, I guess. What's weird is how much it sounded like it might be relevant. Perhaps we could do one of the capitol letter codes on the questionable blog, see if she picks it up.

 		Again, friend of the PM here.
She wants me to pass it on that the other Black Mariah blog HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE GAME. DO NOT LEAVE IG COMMENTS ON IT.

 		OK, I too got a response to my emails to the two mails we got today. Kinda interesting...

Email to wildeydjokr8308SPLATaol.com:

Quote:
And just who might "The King" be, Seth?


Seth's response:
Quote:
He goes by many names, the most common of them simply "B." or "J."
http://theycallherblackmariah.blogspot.com/


Email to shtgnsinnr8308SPLATaol.com:

Quote:
Who is "The King?"


Ross' Response
Quote:

B. is the king.
Long live the king.
He will be dead before the week is out.
Long live the king.


So, there we have it, I guess. The new blog, of course, is already being discussed. However, I thought the responses I received to my emails might contain some interesting info, so I posted them. Have at it guys! Wink

 		 There is a game...
Mustamaija
More For sharing amongst my Fellow ARG'rs. I happened to be thinking oF something that you guys might Find interesting "Musta Maija" is translated to "Black Mariah" its like Hearts or something to that eFFect. The game originates in Finnland. Anybody see Where i might be going With this one. The rules state that "Mustamaija is not a trick taking game like hearts - it is a beating game of the multiple attack type. There is no winner, only a loser of each hand. The loser is the player who is left holding the mustamaija (spade queen) when all the other players have run out of cards." So is everyone going to die except maria (question). In retrospect, I oFFer you the rule book link. HopeFully it'll be easier to decipher Why there is a king noW in play...& there should be a character count because the game states 4-6 players (characters). Just inFormation, For When u can smell the cement oF the brick Wall We may encounter

 		That does have some interesting coincidences to this ARG, but since Black Mariah is dead, that cannot be true, correct? Wouldn't the act of holding the queen of spades, the "Black Mariah" if I understand you correctly, imply that she is still alive?

EDIT'd for ridiculously obvious grammar errors. Laughing

 		Hmm, faking her death...

I like that idea, actually. It could work, indeed. Wink

 		I got a response from Finn and Jesse when asking about if Ross and Seth are a threat.

"Not yet."

Ok, then!

 		Okay, so yesterday or so I was searching on the title of that black mariah eyeball pic, blackeyegh6.jpg, and I stumbled upon like, a history page for a wikidot group having to do with Muggle Quidditch, or Save ludo bagman or whatever. It was on the page that like, documents changes made to the page/wiki/whatever, and it showed that on the 14th (i think) someone uploaded the image there. Unfortunately, I navigated away from the page because I got in trouble surfing the web in class, but now I'm googling it again and I can't find it. Now I gotta go to work. Any thoughts? Or am I just batshit insane?

EDIT: I totally sound like a valley girl in this for some reason. Weird.
EDIT AGAIN: Nvm! here's the link: http://saveludo.wikidot.com/system:recent-changes
It's on page like 3 or 4 of the changes. Also, natas, I'm assuming now that I'm looking a little better at this, that this was probably just you doing something, cause I see you're on there. So yeah. Sorry to waste everyone's time. Haha.

 		I sent out the same basic question to Ross, Seth, Jesse and Finn.
I asked them what it is they're fighting for. It occured to me that we have no idea what this whole conflict is about. It could even be possible that the people we've been trying to help are the 'bad guys' in this whole thing.

 		I got some replies to the questions I sent out. Note that Finn/Jesse replied without using binary, so we can probably ditch that, if you're going to communicate with them.

To each, I asked, "What are you fighting for?"

Finn and/or Jesse replied:
Quote:
Stephen is a monster. He wants absolute control of everything and everyone around him, and will stop at nothing to get it.
...To think, his cult started out as a joke at his school, and now it's a heartbeat away from ruling the city.
Those against his dictatorship fled to the Underground, and we're trying to take the city back.
They used to be the good guys and we used to be the bad guys in this place, until Steve came along.



Ross replied:

Quote:
It is Stephen's will that he controls the city and everyone in it.



Seth replied:
Quote:
Control, absolute and total.

Q iu i lwcjtm iomvb. Zwaa lwmav'b svwe, vmqbpmz lwma ug jzwbpmz. Xtmiam bmtt pqu Q'u awzzg, ivl Q pidm ditcjtm qvnwzuibqwv qn pm eivba bw bism um jiks.


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Seth's gibberish response is ROT-18. Decodes to:
"I am a double agent. Ross doesn't know, neither does my brother. Please tell him I'm sorry, and I have valuble information if he wants to take me back."


Anyone want to take this from here? I'll be out for the evening, and won't have much time to follow up tonight on anything. Someone should probably try to find what info Seth has, or contact his brother.
