[EMAIL] Jon Harker 02/12/04

Just received an e-mail from Jon Harker:

From: jonharkerSPLAThewalksamongus.com
To: theaesirSPLATaol.com
Subject: 31/10/2004 (9.21 PM)


Loyal friend,

My research has succeeded; I believe I've worked out a way to beat he who walks among us.

I cannot speak further of this here, other than to say that the task before me is a difficult one. I am sure that before long I will need your help.

I fear that if the man in black learns of my plan, he will protect himself with all the strength he can muster. Accordingly I must not only act swiftly, but also in secrecy - hence the delay built into this email.

If you need any assistance from me, most of what I know can be accessed from hewalksamongus. Of course if u and I meet in the right place, then perhaps we shall begin to help each other.

I must go now.

I downloaded anagram genius from their site and ran those letters through it.

abcdeghijmoprst

using only those letter there is 3227 words that can be made up. note thats individual words, not sentences

aabcccdddeeeghhhhijmnopprrssssstt

using these letters there is 13,217 words that can be made. note thats individual words, not sentences

If there's anything in this then it's going to be a miracle if we find it.

I've just run "Program not up" through and found this:

Gun or a prompt

that's the best I got though Sad

If these are anagrams, I don't see how we can get them without some form of clue. Which means we are missing something or they're red herrings, possible as we've been told that they are about.

Numbers

Well, as Cryurchin said in the other (now locked) thread, the email was sent at 9.21 (9=I, U=21). So the letters might actually refer to the numbers?

just occurred to me....has anyone tried to de-steg the big picture of jon's glasses on jonharker.com? i tried to uncamoflage it using a few obvious passwords w/ no luck. i thought since we now have a new pathways travel site and an email from jon, maybe the site/picture has been updated as well.

I'm not sure what the rules are as far as things like spoilers here, as I'm new and all, but I understand the email. I guess I'll post it with a spoiler tag and whatnot. Yup.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Go to where you meet Jon and meet his I.


I'm actually a bit further along but not sure what and where to post things.

post it all, my friend - just make sure it's adequately spoilered. if in doubt, spoiler it. which reminds me, is there anyone here who actually *doesn't* read spoilered stuff??

OK, here's the solution then.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Go to http://www.hewalksamongus.com/about.htm (where you meet Jon) and click in the center of his right eye (I). You'll go to http://www.thehidingroom.com/ and there's a flash with a bunch of puzzles in it, which I assume I should make a new topic about? Guess I'll do that now.


There you go!

Uh, should I be getting a story about Korean people gold-plating umbilical cords (no, really, I'm not kidding) or am I missing something? Very Happy

actually laughed out loud. loudly.

You are meant to be getting this, I presume because t's by U&I investments. Although it doesn't appear to be in-game, or to actually have anything relevant apart from those two little letters; I think cryptic celt just forgot to take his pills...
