 		Oh, thebruce, I think you are genious. Of course, it should be it!
The last stand of that ARG was, the musucian had hidden message in his music, which you could download as mp3! I ask myself, why I was so blind Smile

Actually, I wanted to tell one day here more about it, but had not enough time. But I will report co-players to the ARG forum about it, so thank you again.

strange email
Hello hello,

At present I'm not following any games so I don't know if this email might be a part of any of them or not but I received an email from a:
Quote:

Samael Leamas
lefthandsfollysplathotmail.co.uk

Samael is not who says he is, definitely not an angel of God. It was never Gabriel's fault. Samael created all of the myths about himself over the millenia he can't admit the real truth, he has tried three times to complete his plan, this will be the fourth. He must be stopped!

In times of stress I come out and he is very stressed now.

Who do you think Style is working for?

Fortunately for mankind he is limited by what he can do, influence mostly, be careful.

Don't reply to this email or he will know and move far sooner than I can been ready for him.

Leamas



was curious if anyone got an email like this as well?

not sure how/why you'd get an ingame email from a game you didn't sign up for, but a quick search for 'Samael' here brought up the Missing Wallace thread.

and i see they did get the same email as you http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=798579#798579

 		ARGish? Wikileaker? Epic troll? 4chan seems abuzz.
I haven't read all of this because let's be honest: tl;dr for a guy who's kinda jaded by the whole ARG thing right now, but I know this stuff seems to be pointing to a date of 2/20/2011 and even a time of 2200.

http://kipp.wikidot.com/

The videos on the youtube account feel stupid ARGish. I haven't analyzed any audio from them, but anytime I see paper cranes(at the beginning of the Kanji titled video) I immediately think cranes=Dave S=ARG. Anyone?

According to the Wiki itself, it was all a very eloborate troll Smile. Funny to read through though Smile

 		Do you have what it takes to become a villain?
Received email with subject "Do you have what it takes to become a villain?" from villain.trainingSPLATgmail.com

The content below came in the form of a single image (black background, white comic-sans all-caps text -capitalization below is guessed- with a gray TICKTOCKTICKTOCK heading on a pair of 'eyes')

Dear Olorin,

You are hereby cordially invited for the masked villain training
In order to enter the program you first have to prove
yourself worthy and locate the virtual entrance to the training.

Beware,
cowards should not enter.
We are talking world changing events here.
Feel free to seek guidance or companionship from friends and
relatives you deem worthy.
Remember, only those who are up for the task are welcome.

Are you with me or against me?
I trust you will find a way into the training.
If not, then it's pretty obvious it's not for you to become a
masked villain.

Sin-cerely yours,
T.S.

PS:
If you are not interested,
don't worry, this is a one time invitation.
No e-mails will follow if you do not proceed.

If you are interested,
there's no need to contact me for help as
I will provide none.
So don't contact me at all, unless oyu have
an interesting subject to contact me about.


Art style seems to match http://sotanaht.com/
WHo also mentions "T.S." and Villain Training so yeah, that seems to be the place.

I've been way too busy in the past few months... this belongs to any ongoing trail by chance?

Got it as well, and since we're chipping in, the only thing I've played recently is Marblehornets.

Got one too, I'll be playing~ That website seems to be the place. How did you get to that website?

Did anyone else notice the circle in the background saying "enhanced"?

We should start a thread for this if we're going to chat properly.

Found the site via Google (using the email subject line).
I hate to state the obvious, but for future reference: the domain spells Thanatos backward
Our enemy, of course, mentions Thanatos (which may also be the T in 'T.S.'): http://sotanaht.com/our_enemy.jpg


Anyway, yeah I'll check into creating a new thread for this one

I can't see this going well.
If it's really a personal message, you've just exposed it without their permission.
If it's a trailhead, someone has just used the out-of-bounds UF to post in character.

(btw, really annoying that it's posted as a full screen shot instead of simply pasted text. Now I'll have to transcribe it all just to paste it into Babelfish)

Wo sollte sie behandelt werden?

They want to know the truth?

Now, the truth can find you.

As the child goes through its life
it is blind for the truth
I am the truth
It is the Lie
The crucial journey ignores

Only where should go to the truth is?
Where should it be treated?
The seeds with that everything began
They say that I


The subject line means, "Here I Come" and the sender's name is retaewsehtnidik or kidinthesweater backwards.
