 		The Difficulty
i got a message from 'thedifficulty@gmail.com'

they said "im sorry im sorry, im sorry for everything i just cant leave them, im sorry im sorry"

and i emailed them asking whats up, and they said "The message... was meant for a friend. I did not expect it to trail off into the wilderness... especially knowing who is watching."

and the gmail name given is "janice Ha" and i asked them who was watching to which they replied "That's not the best sort of information to be giving out... I... I'm scared for my life. I have done, and seen things... The Bohemian Grove never closes..."

and now i instant messaged with them and they mentioned that the Bohemian Grove is a retreat for the richest of the rich, and she works for them/it. and she was doing paperwork and found 300,000 bucks missing.

How could you help? You obviously have no clue... Gods help me...

Do you know of any way to communicate that will keep me from a watchful eye? I am fearful of my messages trailing off into the expanse of the internet... with everything I know, I can not allow that. But everyone who was helping before, they are dead. They are dead.

Recently you texted my friend Vecheeso. He told me you need to save them. I believe I can help.


A picture was sent to me along with this correspondence. The second message from me should be disregarded, at the time Vecheeso thought it was possible it was a friend, so I added that just in case it wasn't an ARG.


Also, to bring up an old thing:

Sorry if this has already been posted. I took a look at that last few pages and didn't see it, but you can never really be sure. I got this two days ago, but I haven't checked this account in a while. The subject is "One wife iis not enough" (sic) and the address is milliardSPLATsharawadgi.com. AOL lists the name of the sender as Sisto Mucci.

Does not appeal to you! I can understand that silent, heinin,
as to the name of thy verse, and hopk^ sat silent a minute
or two, frowning, then with jessie and her mother to a birthday
party little weak creature like me? The forlorn smile.


Based on the first part, I almost deleted it without thinking, but the second part caught my eye. Might be nothing, might be something… I haven't clicked the link yet (school computer), but I pasted the link into a word document. It looks like it goes to a blog, but I can't vouch that it isn't NWS. Click at your own risk!

EDIT: As I should have been able to tell from the link (I'm not that bright, apparently), the link takes you to a Windows Live Spaces error page. Still wierd, though. Thoughts?


I thought so, too, until I came upon this.

A fake spam encoder. When I tried it, it turned to gibberish, but that's probably my copy and paste skills. Anybody else want to try? The decoder link is on the bottom.

 		I received an email through a mailing list I'm a part of that points to...

http://www.podtycoon.com/shutdown/

Not a game, per se, but the guy has an interesting delivery.

He'll have a game *eventually* on the main site, Pod Tycoon. Didn't think it proper to create a trailhead yet for it (then again, trailheads without games seems to be a norm 'round here).

He is following me too. Here is his twitter btw:
http://twitter.com/HelpFindMyBro

His last message is a little bit alarming because it isn't alarming anymore (if you imagine something, ultimatively looking for missing brother):

 		I just received this email and I'm tempted to think it's junk but I was loosely involved with a arg based in upper or lower volta I can't remember. The thing is I received this on an email I rarely use and even more rarely give out.

Quote:

I found your name on a list of contacts. I presume you represent The Network.

You got me into this mess. Please get me out.

I remember the deal we made. I let your little team of adventurers and thrill-seekers in here. You funnel in money in my bank account.

Prehaps the money may already be in the bank account, but I can't check, on account of the entire country falling apart in the process and communication networks to the outside world being cut off. Random people, rich and poor, young and old, have begun rioting throughout the street, and what's left of my military is running out of bullets to contain the riots. The Presidental Palace has been beseiged on all sides by these rioters. And the worst part is, I don't even know why they are rioting. They make no demands. They only attack.
I don't know if I should call in the helicopters and fly out of this country, or fight off the rioters and hold out for your reinforcements. The last thing I want to do is let these people seize control of my country.

I don't know what's happening, but I hold you are responsible for all this. Please, save me. I have risked everything to let you walk into Upper Volta, can you please return the favor?

Awesome! Can you remember what the name of the game was? I got an email from this, but it's not striking a memory for me.

I wasn't actually allowed in the game which is why I said "loosely." haha, the ig character told me because he knew me (I had 'won' the puppeteer's last game where he used the same screenname) I couldn't be involved but now that I look at the thread, it seems to be different.

EDIT: I take it back! It is the same game. The ig character (Igor Horst) contacted me today
