 		[Trailhead] Zuz
I came across this strange blog
www.ishineupto.blogspot.com Here's an odd site I found. It looks like it's going to be about an odd cult or something. But it doesn't look like it's being very specific. Maybe we should email her....

 		Emailed them both, got some info from Mai. I'm assuming I can post this here right? I apologize if I'm playing this wrong, I'm just really new to this.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Okay, I'll tell you about it, but you need to not delve to deep into this, those that are the top of the pyramid are ruthless men who will do anything for their goal.
Here, Luce has a good explanation:

"The Zuz, if you don't know already are a group that believe in a god that was born of lightning. What their goal is, is to get an item called the fist of Saul. It is said that if you gain it, you can become close to the god and rule beside him. From what I know, it exists. But there are people that are stopping them from getting it. I think that they call themselves the Earthcorps."

 		got stuck at work yesterday, but also got the same info from Luce.

Mai also told me a bit more about herself...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The Earth Corps. That is where I happen to work. You've gained my friends' trust it seems. I have his email tapped. What would you like to know?


and "Saul":

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Yes. He doesn't know the real details of it yet though. It's really a robot an android able to do seemingly magical things. Saul... He's actually a human of this time. Stupid time machines.


didnt get a chance to ask anything else after that.

 		The binary was...really simple to solve. o-o

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

"COOL COOL COOL, TESTING TESTING 123.
YOU SOLVED THE CODE!"


....Is that really all there is to it?

 		Hmm... first, hello. Kinda new to this all "participating" part in ARGs and I started talking recently to Mai.

But, anyway, I've been wondering... She posted a small binary puzzle on the blog and said that if you solve it you may get a reward, I wondered if anyone got the reward in question...

And yes, it was really easy.

I have confirmation from Mai, that it is indeed "all"...

 		Regarding the Friday, December 9, 2011 post on http://www.ishineupto.blogspot.com/

"Email me, please, with some sort of SOLUTION to life. 12/2/11"

I emailed Mai about this and she said:

"look at the post with that date carefully"

Thoughts anyone?

Yes, that was actually my first email to her. She wanted the solution to the puzzle in her December 2nd post. She gives a big hint when she says, "Well I think that the meaning isn't between the lines, but in front of the words." Even when you read the "story" it's clear that the writing is a little odd.

Solution:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"Be careful who you associate yourself with because there are some who are called E."

Take the first letter of every word in the story and it spells out the above. I'm guessing that E is referring to the Earthcorps, but that's just a theory.

 		Assuming the most recent one is a code also - every other post is either a code or a clear message, so "homeward bound" 12/17 I assume is a code. Hmmm

Homeward bound – story?
Out shopping and others... – binary code
of course – asking for solution
My friend Luce – introduces Luce
Maino – discusses a code
Zuz – introduces zuz cult
Very odd cults now a day... – luce email address
I Love Stories – coded message
Shine Up To - intro

 		I emailed Mai with the solution to the binary and asked what the reward was.
She replied with:

Quote:
A prize? You think there's a prize? Well then, how about this, YOU WIN!!!
This is really to recruit people. You pass.


I also emailed Luce telling him that I heard he had an interest in Zuz. He replied that he did in fact have an interest in the cult and asked what I knew specifically. I let him know that I know all about the Fist of Saul. He asked what I knew and I let him know that it goes by another "name" and that its power is beyond measure. Awaiting his reply.
