OK, let's poke around...
On http://sleeplonger.org/why-sleep/ there is some colored text off to the side, which hides a link, but the link looks like a dead end.
http://sleeplonger.org/ixtooxalkako22/
ixtooxalkako22 <-- perhaps is not really a link? (the colors are a pain to reproduce here, but i shall try)
(hrm, the font colour tags don't work for me?)

Yeah, saw that, didn't go anywhere... didn't think of the colours though.
Listed with colours, and the html structure (probably not as important). The ~i just means it's in the same level as i, using i's colour style instead of its own.

Looks interesting - so I'm lurking, and looking through the webpage. Been years since I've had time to play, so not sure how much I have to offer. Looks interesting though.

Just a few things I've noticed/found:
tris omnem - is Latin for "all three"
Under the "Why Sleep" link of the page is the painting The Nightmare by John Henry Fuseli http://tinyurl.com/d4ccg5. There's obviously a few differences between the original and the one on the page, will dive in a bit later.

Well this is pretty interesting. I thoguht the "22" might have been a clue to ROT the letters, but it offers nothing.

If you take just the black characters it spells "italo22" (which at least is pronouncable), but this didn't really lead anywhere.

also tried converting the whole thing to numbers, but no joy there either.

I emailed Maryanne asking why she was so pissed off. It helps to vent to strangers, right?

OK so I worked out where that link goes, thanks to the image on the front page with the multicoloured graph:

Has anyone asked what they mean by 'your species'? That seems an odd wording, or else extremely revelatory.

I assume they just mean the human race. That does imply that the message was not from humans.

On a side note, I don't know if anything is actually happening with this game, which is a shame.

Has anyone thought of contacting them as they said they are looking for volunteers to help. Maybe something...
