If you received the email today from Margaret Efendi, but did not EVER send ANYTHING to ladybee777SPLAThotmail.com, let us know here... because someone said that happened, and we need to track how this happened.

Hey people! Someone did get this without emailing ladybee777, so please speak up, even if you never have before!!! Especially if you've never participated before! (Your big break!)

See, this came from No.:

I didn't send an email to Aunt M. I sent it directly to Dana.

But I still got the email from Aunt M's account.

I guess it wouldn't be that odd that IT is monitoring what Dana gets for e-mail.

Well, I've e-mailed Dana (she left shortly after. No response), but I DIDN'T get this e-mail. So, if the entity is getting addresses from Dana's e-mail, it might not be using all of them. So, if it IS doing this, and it's not getting the addresses by other means, we have to wonder if it picked some at random or if there's a method to the madness.

The question, as I understand it, is not whether you e-mailed Dana <danatwing@gmail.com>, but whether you e-mailed Margaret's "hijacked" account <ladybee777@hotmail.com>. Dorkmaster wants to know who, if anyone, got today's e-mail without first sending something to ladybee777.

Shad0, thanks for trying to keep the peace here, man! But actually (although not in the way sargus put it) I am interested if they got the email in ANY way and didn't email ladybee777... So if they got it and wrote just dana, that's cool too, but I don't need (nor does anyone else need) to see someone say "nope.. not me..." cuz we'd have a lot of those and that wouldn't tell us anything...

I'm curious cuz I need to talk with No. to see if indeed this is true... it's what he put previously, but he hasn't backed it up lately, even though I've asked him to in a PM.... We'll see if it's true or not...

You're taking his request too literally... I think he's really trying to figure out if this is a *real* e-mail, or if someone from unforum got a hold of all our e-mail addresses, whether we ever sent an e-mail to the ARG or not, and spoofed all of us.

actually, I ask to be taken literally. I am a literal figure, not a figurative one. Laughing I mean exactly what I wrote. Someone got an email today, and that person did not EVER write ladybee777. I don't know what direction I'm going with it, but I think it's worth exploring, to find out maybe why one person got an email by only writing dana... Ya see? If you aren't sure what I'm asking, PM me or something, and I'd be glad to explain. Sorry to jump on this, SpghEddy, but I hate it when people put words in my mouth. (they taste bad) So no offense, but you are completely wrong.

I was just trying to point out that it's not e-mailing everyone who e-mailed Dana. It's finding these addresses through different means, unless I was just overlooked or something. Just trying to narrow the search a bit.

Sargus, do not be discouraged. We know what you were trying to do, and that's fine. We're glad you're here, and we want your head on this one too! But right now, while I know there were people who DIDN'T get the email, the purpose of this thread is to see if anyone else other than No. got an email today, without first emailing Ladybee777. He told us in another post that he had written Dana only, since I thought it was interesting I also included that. That's my fault. I didn't mean to confuse anyone.

But again, to clarify:

DO NOT POST HERE if you DIDN'T get an email and you never wrote Ladybee777.

DO NOT POST HERE if you DID get an email today, but you already wrote Ladybee777.

If you fit between those lines, then post here. Not to be offensive, but I almost think, at this point, that No. may be mistaken. I don't see why he would be the only one who didn't write, yet got an email!

The History of Dana
by
The Sleeping Princess
It is the object of this to present The news
Chapter I. The Sleeping Princess friendless and alone
The Sleeping Princess friendless and alone
the queen wishes
The Sleeping Princess
sealed into an airtight container
hiding from the queen
Life is bare, gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather, just can't get my poor old self together

The Widow
the blues walked in and met me
The Widow will get me
the sleeping princess are in hiding
One must be so careful these days.
the "pious flea" and "sleeping princess" (?)
MARK but this flea, and mark in this
don't like it
I can't help it
a proper fool
a bad banana
unimaginable filth and stench; and disease
he can't write his name or read a book
I read, much of the night
Chapter II. Dana friendless and alone
Dana a friend/good guy.
Dana is not an artificial being. nor is she a program. She is human. She is flesh and blood.
Dana
You're as cuddly as the cat
You're as charming as the butterfly
the favorite of the plebeian masses
Being the friend
you and I together allies, and if the queen pleased thrown into a condition of extreme danger
"Of course I will stick.
I'll stick by you
though thin and though thick!"
best friend
This one means you're happy: Smile
Chapter IV
The Sleeping Princess passed through a great variety of scenes, and met with many extraordinary adventures and narrow escapes, which, however, can not be here particularly detailed.
I found
a secret was revealed
I should not be able to make any one understand how exciting it all was.
I brought it home and hid it in a secret place
Chapter V need help right quick, on the double
when I feel
That I shall never look upon thee more
Her name is Dana.
the house is so sad and lonesome
Dana
being persuaded to
come back
to talk
to me
Well, I will tell you
that secret
I found
maybe you can help me (?)

Honestly, do some people read anything before they post?

GameTavern, what was it about this thread that led you to post yet another copy of the email that has already been posted in an Interaction thread and is being worked as a puzzle in another thread as well? (Not counting the other locked threads where other folks posted more copies.) Please read the guidelines linked at the top of the forums, and [search] before you post!

TOPIC: Trying to figure out where the entity got the email addresses it used for the most recent email.

QUESTION: Did anyone receive the newest email who had not previously emailed ladybee777? If so, did you send a message to Dana? Or have you never emailed anything in the game and are really creeped out that ladybee777 got your email address?

aliendial, thanks for your vigilance.

However, I think we can just let this thread die, cuz no one but No. has said this, and No. hasn't responded to my private message, nor has No. responded to the post in this forum regarding this situation. I tend to think that No. may have written the ladybee777 account early on and forgotten, since it's too isolated to be true, in my opinion... So thanks, but it's probably a dead end anyway!

Don't give up, D-master! 1 An unregistered guest posted over here that he/she received the latest e-mail without ever mailing ladybee777SPLAThotmail.com. (Right idea, wrong thread.)


1 Sorry, but when I call you "Dorkmaster," I feel like I'm insulting you.

seriously, Shad0, don't worry about it (the name part, that is). It's got a historic meaning for me. (OFF TOPIC TANGENT THINGY COMING IN 3... 2... 1...) Back in college, I lived with about 3-4 dorks. Not in a bad way, but we were D&D fans, video game nerds, fantasy dweebs, etc... (but we also liked women, beer, and poker, so we might have just been confused... Laughing ) So, point being that one day, I had these "Hello! My name is..." tags for some thing... I think it may have been some theatre confrence (I was a directing major)... Anyway, I woke up one morning and declared myself Dorkmaster. I was leader of these friends of mine in their videogame dorkdom. (I think we were playing Final Fantasy IX at the time or something?) But yeah, that's where the name comes in. My college friends wore tags that said Dorkmaster#2, #3 and so on, and #1 refered to me and video games, #2 was my friend Todd, who was RPG Dorkmaster, and #3 was Geoff, the Fantasy Dorkmaster, and #4 was Zig, the Weapons Dorkmaster, and #4 was Heidi, the Anime Dorkmaster... it didn't really get that detailed, but that's the origin of the name, and anyone using my nickname would not be insulting me. (Now, if you shorten it, and just called me dork, that would be an issue Cool )
