hey just seen this Smile got some stuff to do this afternoon but i thought i would just hop in to help so basically datango remember to always check the guide in the upper left corner of the screen. That usually contains all the information you need to be able to complete the form correctly

If you want to know the answer then let me know and i will put it here in a spoiler Smile

I replied with this solution:

The text reads
"THE SHINES ITS ALL ABOUT THE SHINES..... THE LIGHT BLINDS MY EYES"

The text was encoded with ROT-17 (or, if one is to take the clue from the number 9 in her signature, ROT- -9)


Not sure what to think of it...

It would appear they are staging some kind of swoop in a ditch attempt to find her... ((oog - wut! - mopain said she was taken care off! needs to be dead IMO) anydoos yeah i have something to be getting on with in the meantime for the lovely ( and i really do mean lovely ) groundsman. I didn't get that email ( i was summoned by him today, we talked, at the end he told me to be careful, i said could take care of myself, he said he hadn't met a Glaswegian yet who couldn't. I loved it. I lolled and almost shed a tear and have my own little task to be doing atm YAY! <3 groundsman guy!)

Im still very much sat on the fence as to where i want my loyalties to lie however . Like sometimes things are kept from the public with good reason. I really don't know - Im going to take a lot of groundsman convincing that crOn are infact the "good guys".

also im confused about the email you got - they took it from the draft folder of her laptop but if mopain dealt with her then its not as if she could have typed that email after is it? I dont see mopain giving her a viable source of communication so it was obviously typed before she sent the message for help because after that she was "dealt with" So why was she talking about shines etc etc and who was she sending it to? why not send it to us when she sent the original message? Why not just send it in general!

Im trying to like establish a timeline ( its how my brain works right now) and that's the only way i can see the email fitting - she must have been planning on sending it to someone BEFORE she was taken by mopain - if that's the case WHY didn't she just send it? SO confused!

 		I'm new here but could use a little help please.

My submission of yesterday's Currency Exchange document DOC-MOPCOM-2H-ORKKSY-CHHH was scored incorrect, but I have been puzzling as to why. Any pointers much appreciated.

Thanks

 		Please allow me to rant here for a second...

Im starting to find this game less and less fun... so they tell me that i can apply for special status after this whole jean baker nonsense and being a snitch so i fill out the form as per and scan it using my scanned and upload it to the system and then get this back

Quote:
Your petition for Special Status has been received .

Due to the fact that the form has not been completed correctly your request is denied. We are concerned that you have shown such a lackadaisical approach to completing this important form and we hope you do not take the same approach to the rest of your work.

You are being watched closely.


REALLY.... REALLY? WHAT THE HELL!

their scanners fail all the time but yet i cant fill out a form?! are you kidding me?! SO MUCH ANGER WITH THIS RIGHT NOW. You spend all day fixing THEIR MISTAKES!!!! on stupid forms so that they can turn round and tell me that i cant complete a form.. just WHATEVER....

their scanners hardly pick up the ends of names at the best of times!!!

Its actually really starting to put me and a few others i know of off, i mean you cant get past red clearance, you get told you cant fill out forms correctly when actually you spend most of the day correcting their errors. ABSOLUTE NONSENSE.

AND THEY CALLED ME MRS... I AM NOT MARRIED ITS MISS!!!

*trys to be calm but actually wants to explode.

I dont trust crOn. I dont trust MoP. I pretty much dont see any gain to this thing?! i mean you do the forms - you get the missions but yet you can only go as far as red and then when you do try and move up you get told you cant fill out forms? WHATEVER JUST WHATEVER.

Reaction is totally justified.. I just dont know where i want to be with this anymore - right now I'm really dismayed and very annoyed.

 		EDIT: nevermind, did not intend to make it seem as though I had something against mrshomersimpson or anyone else, I simply meant that if he/she really wanted to leave, let me know. I apologize once again to her and to anyone else I may have annoyed/offended with this post.

glad to hear that stuff is getting sorted out (assuming you mean with MoP), to the others reading this message, what happened was that I saw the part of mrshomersimpson's rant post where s/he mentioned getting bored with the ARG and thought that it meant s/he was thinking about leaving it, I simply offered a method of doing so should she choose to accept it. I would NEVER do ANYTHING to get someone kicked out of the ARG intentionally no matter what UNLESS the person has decided to quit.

EDIT: tried to see if I could help you get in to the special tasks unit, here is the response they gave when I said that your form had been wrongfully checked by MOPAIM:
I am not allowed to disclose any information about other applicants, but I can assure you that each application is very carefully examined. I doubt MOPADM would make a huge mistake like the one you think they did. And you base your opinion solely on someone's elses words too...
How do you know that form was filled in correctly? While it is not a very difficult one, sometimes people make mistakes because they are not diligent enough. And in such an instance they could hypothetically wrongly fill in boxes 3, 8, 9, 12, 16, 17 and 18. Hypothetically of course!
seems to me like they are covering their own mistakes up here, if you have a copy of the form you used it might be useful in proving that they did make a mistake if you send them a copy exactly as you put it the first time in order to prove that you had done it properly. I trust that you filled in correctly, after all, you are the 2nd highest ranked person for getting the documents correct.

OMFG LOL when did you get that? !! I thought this was sorta getting sorted but if you only just got this recently then clearly its not been anywhere near as sorted as i thought it had!

so now not only do i need anger management but im an idiot too!? WTF...

now im actually really might need anger management... not directed at you btw kira but at that email.

Please let me know what time you received that email at...

covering my own mistakes in a game REALLY? i could have said i gave the information i was comfortable giving, this is just getting ridiculous. Wrongly filled out those boxes... you cant wrongly fill out a form IN GAME!! you give what you feel comfortable giving - as to what countries Ive visited box that's just outrageous and petty. I told them where i had been. The signature part not my fault my scanner didn't pick it up and lastly about the armed combat? i live in Glasgow! of course i have had armed combat! its part and parcel of growing up round here! they didn't specify military! Jesus!! incorrectly filled it in..unbelievable... lol ...

thanks kira Smile the mail they sent me has now been "removed" from my inbox! i still have a copy saved if they want to be nitpicky about the whole thing il post the conversation and form here. I have nothing to hide - i stand by what i said and my feelings towards the situation have been made very clear to the pm. I have no problem also making them clear to the forum should the need arise.

I spoke with someone regarding the whole issue thing at about 8 my time (uk) I hope this gets sorted out.
