It's no problem, I'm very new to all of this and I understand that we all can get excited when we find things!

It's no problem. At least you did try looking for things, which is the start of what you need to do, really. Very Happy

Also, as per my earlier post, the address to email to is (fviper at comcast dot net). That's the one for if you want to "take down Wildfire Industries" (as she herself put it). Seems like you can choose sides in this ARG.

Sorry, you're right... it's Felicity Viper, isn't it? :/ Whoops. I'll correct it.

 		E-mail from Seraphina Wildfire
Quote:
Dear Mr. Pip,

Hello again! It's Seraphina! It's been a while, hasn't it? Well, over here, it's been "business" as usual. Don't mind my bad pun.

Well, first I need apologize again (it seems like I'm always apologizing) for the sad state of affairs of that meeting that Delton held. It just seemed that he was entirely unprepared for the meeting, and then with that clone... eeesh. Anyway, that's not how we usually carry ourselves, so I hope you don't think that that's how we act all the time.

Second, I've been watching Delton's website. No one has reached the second level yet! However, I will admit, Delton made this really really hard. So... that brings me to my next point.

I put together a couple wallpapers to promote the company. Now, you could use them for desktop backgrounds, or for flyers, or to clean up after your dog. I really don't know what you want to use them for, but I will tell you that my motives for making these wallpapers weren't entirely to promote the company. *Wink*

Deltina recently handed them over to Immersion Unlimited, and I don't want my Unfiction friends left out. And whatever you do, don't tell Delton. Ok? ^^

Oh, and Deltiona's good, she's on the 7th giant lollypop that Delton bought her, and she thinks she's the queen of the world. I swear, I never saw a girl that happy with lollypops. And the rest of the family is doing well, to tell the truth. Thank God for it too... I need a little break. Sometimes it feels like I babysit 4 children instead of 1.

Anyway, hope everything is going well for you! Take care!

Sincerely,

Seraphina Wildfire
Shareholder Liaison of Wildfire Industries

P.S. - Wallpapers! I forgot to give you the links! I should make less chit-chat!

 		Hi. I'm new at ARGs. One of my friends linked me to Urban Hunt a couple months ago, but I've mostly been lurking so far. Anyway, I've got my first solve!

We're obviously looking for ___.thisiswi.net, so I kept trying various things and I found
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://psychic.thisiswi.net/
Psi - the greek letter in place of the apostrophe in several of the graphics
Kick - from the Welcome to WI banner

It says "Oh, sorry, that's the wrong answer. Try again.", but if you view source,

"Good. So you're not as dumb as you look. I give you two claps! *Clap* *Clap*

I thought I'd give you something to do while I prepare to open the flood gates for my new "Online Employee Program"
So, are you a webby webby girl? Are you a lovely girl? Are you a cybernetic lovely in a cyber world? Oh life would be so crazy,
play my game, I'm ready.

You see what I'm getting at? Oh, and sorry if you're a guy. Don't worry, I'm not gay or anything. I love my fiancee.
But, if you can't see where I'm going, you're going to be lost in my world.

Think of this as a test. If you have the answer, feel free to enter it in in front of the website, sorta like you did to get here.

Let's see how good you really do.

-D. Wildfire
Founder and CEO"

 		Hot damn! Yay!

Now...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The oddball statements are lyrics. Googling them, they're from a song called "www.Blonde Girl" from a game called Dance Dance Revolution Max.

Already tried blondegirl.thisiswi.net, blonde.thisiswi.net, girl.thisiswi.net, ddr.thisiswi.net, ddrmax.thisiswi.net, no luck.

 		Sweet. I meant to post with some other clues from the wallpapers I had but forgot. Extremely nice solve, though.

As for the wallpapers...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://home.comcast.net/~seraangela00056/delton.jpg has two messages in Wingdings 3 - 'YOU FOUND MY CLUE' and 'YOU MUST BE A MIND READER' (the second of which is rotated). This also ties in with the whole psychic thing.

http://home.comcast.net/~seraangela00056/deltiona.jpg has another two - one of which is in Wingdings 2, the other of which is in a number sequence I haven't decoded yet (but more clues about this in the second spoiler tag below). The Wingdings 2 message is 'SUBDOMAINS ARE USEFUL'.


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
As for the number sequence... they seem to logically fit into groups of 3 digits, excluding punctuation...

162 145 144 150 145 162 162 151 156 147

These numbers are never more than 19 apart, meaning that it seems like it could be a simple rotation cipher. But I've already checked that avenue... the lowest number is 144, so if we take that to be an A we get:

SBAGBSSHMD

But running it through a general-purpose ROTter (which, incidentally, I made for this task) doesn't reveal anything apart from a possible ROT-13:

FONTOFFUZQ

But I don't see how that would be relevant.
