 		In Defense of Summer
Recieved an email this morning from

Quote:
in.defense​.of.summer@​hushmail.co​m


reads

Quote:
The Summer Court is in need of assistance.

We are currently looking for mortal members of the Guard.

Consider this email an invitation to apply- you have all been chosen for a reason.

Do not make me regret my choices.

(you may recommend up to one other member to join the Trials- and if they are accepted then they may recommend another and so on)

Applications will open once the first five have responded. Trials will begin following the closing of applications.

More information will follow after applications have opened.

-W.R.


Sounds pretty awesome I am always up for a bit of summer court!

nothing more at the moment will send an email back and see where it goes! If anyone wants me to recommend them then send me a message Very Happy not sure I fancy the idea of defending summer alone lol ....

anyone else recieve?

(sorry if this is part of something else I just couldn't see it!)

 		I'd like to join. Sounds fun.

Speculation: The "W.R." at the end. I've seen that in another game... White Rabbit. Not sure if it's meant that here.

"W.R." stands for White Rose. I got a message from that same address a couple of days ago, then one again yesterday. The first email I received read:

Quote:
The Summer Court is in need of assitance...

Are you willing to join The Guard?

We will begin after enough responses are given.

~White Rose


along with a wma file for the song White Rose by Heather Dale.

I when I tried to reply to the first email I kept getting failure notices, but I've replied back to the second email and I'm still awaiting a response.

Also I recommended you bluesylvia Smile

 		Here are the lyrics for "White Rose" by Heather Dale...seems relevant to the theme for sure.

Quote:
I'll tell you a tale of when time had no meaning,
When legend and history walked hand in hand,
When the swords of the mighty had bested the Dragon,
But the Elven still walked in the land.

[CHORUS]
White rose: queen of the summer,
White rose: queen of the fall,
White rose: the new guard will follow,
White rose: the old guard will fall.
[/CHORUS]

The sun and the moon were fixed in the heavens.
The whole world grew weary as summer stood still.
A queen of great courage and the heart of the Dragon
Set her throne above the Elf Hill.

[CHORUS]

The queen on her throne called the Elven before her,
And said: look around you; time should march on.
I ask you to bow and make history the victor--
The day of the legends is gone.

[CHORUS]

The people approached her to offer their blessings,
And each brought red roses to lay at her feet.
But the Elven came forward to lay their last flowers:
White as the summer's defeat.

[CHORUS]

The cycles of time weave the world in their circles,
And the flower-crowned queen is among us again.
While the Elves have their place in the verses of legend
But not in the history of Man.

[CHORUS]

 		Thanks, Necropolitan!

Excited for this ARG, sounds like it'll be very medieval-inspired, which is great considering how much D&D I've been doing as of late... ^^;

 		I emailed back this morning and as requested recommended Natas...

No sound file attatched to my email but like you necropolitan I am awaiting a reply to the email.

They said in mine that when they hear from all 5 they will open applications. There were 5 recipients in my email, so i assume when they reply the game will begin!

looking forward to this. Only started back on the ARG scene recently after Lurking for a long time.

 		I also received an invitation. I am, perhaps, somewhat hesitant to throw in with this one, but I'll see where it goes.

I'm going to go flip through the contact thread so I can recommend njberry.

*coughs* PM me your email, and I'll recommend you, in the next exchange.

[=EDIT=]
I've had an interesting exchange with our host...

Quote:
I accept your invitation, provisionally. Against what would I be guarding? Theft? Assault? Invasion? Call me cautious, but I would prefer to die with my eyes on, as it were.


Quote:
Invasion. Leaks.

There is a war going on, after all.

The only reason we are reaching out to the mortal realm is that we are transforming much of our own Guard into Troopers, we need a new Guard to take their place for now.

I am sure at some point Fear Dorcha will try to make contact with the mortal realm for much the same reason. We are simply striking first.

We have no teind to pay, after all- your bets are best placed with the Summer Court.


OOG:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I have no question, at this point, that if Winter becomes the option it looks like it will become, I will be playing both sides, and I may end up throwing in with the other side. I've always had a bit more sympathy for Winter, in these sorts of stories, but my decision, of course, will depend on how the story plays out, here. Think of me, if you need someone with liquid allegiances, for something.


That said, I will hold back my reply until I have someone to recommend.

Wait. How do you know there were 5 recipients in your email, unless they didn't use Bcc?

Hey guys.

New to the site and not taken part in an ARG before (unless you count having a go at some PerplexCity cards back in the day), but would love to jump in on this as my first one.

Let me know if you hear of any way to get in on this!

When you open the email it has the senders address and then the recipients addresses at the top, like this:



At least that's how it's displayed in Yahoo.

Also I notice my email is on there twice. Idk if it's the same for anyone else that got the email, but that would only make 4 recipients, unless the sender caught that and sent another one out to the fifth person. :/


Have either of the people who got recommended received anything yet?

 		Hey guys!
This seems cool and I would love to play this. So, if anyone has invitations left, would be awesome if you could recommend me.
