I doubt? Maybe, I don't know, it feels a bit like it's reaching, to me. The quotes have all been about knowledge, for the most part, and recognizing that there's knowledge there, 'Death tapes' doesn't fit that sort of thing at all.

Eh, nothing stands out at first glace, but figured for the sake of completeness I'd throw it in there and see what comes out.

Maybe I'm being a bit too TINAG here, but I tried variants of aristoninsitute as both the password and user, since most schools have the student-specific logins, like for me it would be MAK10A or my student ID or xcollege as the user and then the student ID or your birthdate or the college name a /second/ time as the password. I tried a few variants of that but none of them worked. :/

Just got this email from infoSPLATaristoninstitute.org. Title is "Application Status".

Dear Applicant:

Our since apologies, but we are currently having some difficulty with our online course management system and therefore we are not accepting applications at this time. You will be notified when the application and admission process starts up again.


Sincerely,

The Ariston Institute

Did this game seriously just die before it even got started? Or am I just being sensitive since that's what happened to the last three or four games I've played? ;A; We can't get into apply, we can't crack the code(s)... -sigh-

And this one actually looked pretty cool. We need to figure this out guyyyyyyyyyyys. XD


EDIT: "use mirror language" maybe? Try entering in the passwords that we've tried but backwards?

A lot of schools have computer issues on the first day of term.....

I'm guessing we will get our passwords when our applications have been approved, not necessarily have to hack our way into class.

Ah, okay. Still, the last two lines bug me... I didn't see anything else about the email that was odd or off in any way, just the big chunk of empty space and the:
Object recognized: email message
mirror language use

I feel lke we should play around with that somehow, but either we don't have enough info at this point (think of it like sitting in the audience, you know? We have our tickets and we're ready for it to start, but the show hasn't actually begun yet, or that's how I picture it) or it's part of whatever email system they're using.

First our CMS goes down, now the lights are flickering. What next?


Looks like technical issues
