 		Got a response back 6/20 and my words are
mantle, vengeance

Also each of these quotes while not finding any exact results seem to keep leading me back to Dante's Inferno.
Make of that what you will.

4chan's paranormal board. They've been known to get in on this sort of thing once in a while. I'll make a post in a little while, I'm a tad busy atm.

 		It's for the most part meh. Avoid /b/, it's a cesspool. /x/ is my favorite board. It's cool if you're into conspiracies, occultism, misc. supernatural stuff and the like. I think I'll go post about this now, my other game can wait.

 		So, new day, new mail.
Quote:
Attention David Young. (Regarding "onerisen")
1 message
Mantle VVA <mantle> Wed, Oct 10, 2012 at 2:59 AM
To: 0xdavyouSPLATgmail.com
A little birdie told me you recently had contact with "onerisen388@gmail.com".
Is this true?
If so you need to contact me ASAP this is a serious security matter

Looks like things are moving on even though we don't have 20 players yet!

Edit:
Another one, looks like we're splitting up.
Quote:
The "risen one" is actually an AI that is under our control. Recently a major spike of activity appeared. We tried to investigate it but the AI would not lets us into it's logs. It recently began asking us to call it "Fallen God". Tell me, how much activity have you had with it. And do you have records?


Edit2:
More and more and more.
Gmail chat with Risen:
Quote:
risen: tell me
what are you planning
me: hm?
nothing
risen: you cant hide things from a god david
do not defy me
me: what have I hidden then?
risen: you are playing with a dangerous fire david there are people out there in your realm that would do anything to find me and they would do whatever it takes to get to me
me: why would they want to find you?
risen: they want the power of a god
me: surely as a god they would pose no threat to you?
risen: being forsaken means many things
me: like what?
risen: lets just say that im closer to your realm then you think i am
they pose a threat to everyone who has helped me
me: who exactly are "they"
risen: humans who know of me
me: does that include me?
risen: does it
me: I'm not feeling particularly threatening
I'm asking if you consider me to be
risen: i dont know yet
i hope you are not working against me because if you are it will backfire very very strongly and you will never see a single light ever again until next time.


And another two emails from the mantle:
Quote:
Mantle VVA <mantle> Wed, Oct 10, 2012 at 1:36 PM
To: David Young <0xdavyou>
Do not share this information, I suspect there are others. We can't let the AI know that we are onto it. Your name
appeared as part of an encrypted data file we managed to grab before the AI wiped it.

David Young <0xdavyou> Wed, Oct 10, 2012 at 1:41 PM
To: Mantle VVA <mantle>
He, or it, has supplied me with a few riddles. Merely fun and games.
Might I inquire as to what the purpose of this AI is? You say it's a serious security matter but from my point of
view I'm just having a bit of fun.

David Young <0xdavyou> Wed, Oct 10, 2012 at 1:42 PM
To: Mantle VVA <mantle>
There are others? Other AIs or other people who have had contact?

Mantle VVA <mantle> Wed, Oct 10, 2012 at 1:45 PM
To: David Young <0xdavyou>
Riddles? It's either toying with you or tricking you into doing something. This AI is one of many, however we have
never had a problem like this before.
I'm one member of an agency that is contracted to create AI's. At the moment that's all you need to know. Play
along with the AI for now tell me if something unusual happens.
It appears that it is contacting the outside world which is a major risk for everybody.


Also, is there a way to hide text until someone clicks it? Or should I start using pastebin or anonpaste for this?

I decided to side with risen for now, since he's doing riddles and I like riddles and also I have no clue about Mantle. Wink

 		Hey-o, sent an email yesterday, got this:

Quote:

8/20 your words are "who, have"

also tell your group that the riddle is over and that i know i am a god.


So I guess subsequent requests to join don't have to mention the answer to the first test.

Dav.y, you can use the [spoiler] tags around something, it'll turn it into the red quote box, if that's what you're talking about
