Not sure... Shrecknet is the name of the Nosferatu network... I guessed Gehenna since that was the solution to the random number email puzzle, and it seemed like a good place to start.

 		I'm not really sure of the etiquette here... When figuring out a puzzle, do people always post the solution right away inside a spoiler tag, or do you just give out hints first? Anyway, I *finally* figured out the letter code.

 		Ok - here is the solution:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Change each letter to a number, and concatenate the pair. That number is the ascii code for each letter in the message. It spells out Warning:you are in danger.
[/spoiler]

SchreckNet was a sort of special network "piggybacked" on the regular Internet, and used exclusively for communications among the Nosferatu. The Nos used SchreckNet to share secrets and information, as well as discuss plans and goals. Membership was not limited to Camarilla-aligned Nosferatu, but was open to the antitribu as well.


since Gehenna isn't the pass what else could it be? Aren't nosfers a bit unhinged? Could it be some snide nickname for one of the other clans?
i didn't know abouth this network, or that it aligned itself with the antitribu. so a safe haven from those being culled...

:edit: I hate when this happens. PM's post something. a player answers, and gets a response, and then the PM's erase it. grrr......

B.S.

 		"a friend"'s comment highlighted an email address, so I sent:

Quote:
Subject: are you really?

A friend, that is? Where is this Town Square/shrecknet? We don't know how to help Jon, or even why we should or if we can. I mean, he's dead now, right?


Got back:
Quote:
our friend is being moved - the slowness to warn him has incapacitated him - we must find out where he's being taken to rescue him


And I replied with:
Quote:
Ok then. How do we find that out? And just who are you, and what is your connection to Jon/Jonah?


Suggestions welcome... I haven't had the time I'd like to give to this so I'm more than a little lost. Embarassed

EDIT: new mail:
Quote:
i cannot speak freely this way - the room is now closed - i will find another time to talk


Sent back:
Quote:
I'm sorry, I tried to find the room but couldn't. Please don't give up.


EDIT AGAIN: And the comments to the shrecknet post have been deleted. :\
