 		[New ARG] Cult of Adramelech
EDIT2: This game is becoming more interesting with each new puzzle. We would love it if you would join us. It's not too late in the game.
The WIKI is up at: http://adramelechwiki.blogspot.com and contains every step of the game and story so far, so you can easily catch up on what's happened.

EDIT: I've been asked to clarify that I was sent this email due to the fact that I had placed my email around various places asking to be informed of new games, NOT through any private messages or etc to do with this forum.

I'd also like to point out that I am in no way attached to this game. I've just started a thread about it here.
Anyway, this is what I got:

Subject : Please stop them!

I apologise for this, but I have hardly any time at all.
I shouldn't be here, I shouldn't have paid for this session with their money...
They'll know which one I am if I give you too much information.
All I can tell you is my name is Jake. They will not know me by that
name, but the one they gave me... I cannot speak of it.

I'm sorry for being so cryptic, but as I said, revealing too much
information will certainly kill me.

They are doing horrible things, terrible things that I've seen with my
own eyes. I joined them because it looked fun at first. I had no idea
that a human could possess such... abilities.

They are trying to raise up... him. The one they call Adramelech. They
are his servants and are trying to bring him into this world. They are
performing ancient rites and are getting closer...

They believe he can be brought through the internet and incarnate into
every port connected to it. If this occurs, he will be able to
manifest into the real world... and then its over.

Please, I know my story sound unbelievable but if you can assist me,
reply as soon as possible.

I don't know how long we have left.


I replied with this:

zac



Was that a smart move or not? Sorry, but as I said, I'm kinda new to ARGing, even though I've lurked for a while.

 		I got a reply! About 5 minutes ago. It stated a link, and I've just been checking it out. Looks like a bunch of letters, but I'm not actually sure what it is. Some kind of encryption maybe.

I was told to not give out the link or even copy and paste the email. He said some stuff about trust issues, yada yada... typical ARG style stuff. Only those he could trust will be given more info, and that you'll have to email him yourself Confused

Look's like we got an ARG here guys! Kinda freaky, but I'm definitely looking forward to this. Very Happy


By the way, I don't even know what this game is called :S I only put Cult of Adramelech in the topic title because that's the most obvious thing I could guess from the email.

I'm off to do some research on this Adramelech. A demon possibly? :S

 		LOL. Nice going.

I'm working on the webpage... I checked each of the capital letters in the passage and all I got was:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
NQENZRYRPUNGTZNVYPBZ


Which when substituted in the A=Z, B=Y code I got:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
MJVMAIBIJFMTGAMEBKYA


'GAME' is in there... but apart from that...

 		Hmmm... it bounced. Looks like there is no AdramelechSPLATgmail.com

I'm trying combinations of phrases I've seen so far to do with the cult and emailling them. There must be some kind of reason it ROT-13's to that address.

 		It would have bee easier to ROT-13 the whole text:

those thAt wish to join us anD assist to
raise our master fRom the place he dwells in should contAct
us but do not Mess around with us because our mastEr
is vengefuL and we are skillEd Chosen ones in the dark arts He has given us. All
those worthy should conTact us so that our Great lord
May be assisted to breAk free from the jaIl he is heLd in.
you will be under the Command Of the twelve who will guide you to adraMelech

ADRAMELECHSPLATGMAIL.COM

As you see the capitals form the same mail adress. Bit strange it is bouncing though. I'll give it a shot as well.
