So, you made an email address that you had not provided to anyone and subsequently received this email?

A bit of skepticism but also just trying to figure out if maybe the email was used to register for something, just to find more clues. I'm new to this, so I certainly could be missing it, but I didn't really see anything to go on.

Edit: and the picture link isn't loading anything for me

I was a little skeptic when I deciphered this as well, and the thing is, if it's their own game AND abide by the rules, then we are stuck. There doesn't seem to be a puzzle here and they can't post again, so... we haven't gotten very far, have we?

Guess we need an email address for this character in order to respond?

Hmmm, I googled the domain name (angelic.com) of the Mr Evity guy and I found it on a list of domains that people use to send scammy emails. Also found it in mail.com which I'm not sure it's a legit site to create email accounts or not.

good point kona!

So... assuming a response were received, to what detail do people generally share? how much of a solution?

Figuring it out is obviously part of the thrill, so I don't want to ruin anything. I know you can do the spoiler thing, but not sure what's amount of a solution or a result is normally relayed to other players.

Yes, I did just create the email. I got to that point where I had signed up to so many things it was just a mess of junk emails.

And yeah, just got this message pretty much right after. Speaking of which, he just sent another one.

It was titled 'Edgar'

and the message was 'His raven?'

I jumped on here as fast as I could. Heres the screenshot: http://oi65.tinypic.com/2pqw8k9.jpg

"The Raven" is a narrative poem by American writer Edgar Allan Poe, copy pasted from Wikipedia.

Edit: Funny how the files disappeared from the "Odd things" folder as we got a new hint... and got replaced by an edited version of OP's screenshot.

Oh! Sorry - forgot I posted that link... that was me!

I was just testing the uploading parameters of the site. But I can't figure out how to delete it.

But I did notice the other disappeared.

[Edit to add] Follow Kona's advice.

Just received another email.
No subject, just that text which i guess is base64?

YUhSMGNEb3ZMM2QzZHk1dFpXUnBZV1pwY21VdVkyOXRMMlpwYkdVdllqRjRiWGhpWlE9PQ==

that was the message. Has anoyone tried to email this guy? I tried and got a response saying 'CONNECTION SEVERED'

and then nothing else. Anyways I do have some things to do, I will check back a little later.
