Just Joining In! I'm really excited to be playing this! I just wanted to jump in and say Hi! I've been waiting to start playing an ARG (actually I've been distracted "playing" "Arkham Care" which so far has been both too easy and frustrating in it's delay of updates...), and had forgotten that I signed up for Purity Towers a few weeks ago until I recieved the email from them this morning. I just read through this whole thread and have sent emails and followed the leads. It's really exciting to start an ARG from the beginning! I hope I can be of help at some point, but for now I'm mostly lurking as I'm trying to learn the etiquette around here.
Great work, so far! Thanks!

p.s. I wonder how "Grotian" philosophy would regard the action of sending over "The Declaration of Independence"... have to read up on that more...

Alright one last thought process before the newbie will shut up for a bit...
In 'Reading Carefully' the e-mail from 'Melvin Smith'... for an umteenth time I noticed that "Crown Jewel" is in quotes... Just throwing it out that we have Crown Jewels, London and Tower appearing alot...
EDIT: OR at least once anyways!! LOL!!! I'm going to check back in tonight... I need a break.

I wish they'd come up with a different form of coding,lol.. this way can take a long time

the whole reading carefully thing has to do with the first letters of each sentence spelling out words that lead to hidden messages.
the first email we received from Melvin after signing up for purity towers gave us "watch out"
then we got in his second email "use the code"
the third gave us "be careful"

I don't think anything will happen until at least when the countdown was supposed to end, hopefully a site change or something will happen.

Luckily, when I use the AOL browser instead of Internet Explorer, I get a cached version of the website, so it still has the countdown and everything. Right now mine says 0:07:09:22, but I believe it's different for everyone.

The countdown ends at whatever time midnight is for you.

Kinda forgot about this one too until I got the email this morning.
If Melvin is Selvin, maybe we have a Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde thing going on. Perhaps they think they are two different people. That could add an interesting twist to the game.

Perhaps if things do pick up within the next 24ish hours it will give us a time-zone for where this is taking place.
