I got the same message... through this site's IM. Somewhat of a turn off in that regard.

My email link here. Agreed. But maybe for 'Mafia' fans...

@natas>> Click on the car crash pic (assuming it's still there...)

ETA: gone. As is the little profile that WAS there. Maybe in midst of an update?

 		It's not an email as I found it on the books on board website rss feed at http://www.booksonboard.com/rss/bob_rss.xml and thought it looked interesting and decided to see if anyone else knows about it?

 		Where are these people getting my email address from all of a sudden? Razz Anyway, I just got this from "Fragmin Stems" (fragmin.stemsSPLATgmail.com). Subject is "Please, gather as many people as you can..."
Quote:
Hello, my name if Fragmin.
I live in a different space/time than yourself.
Homo sapiens are not the ruling species in this place.
Both our realities are extremely alike, in almost every way.
The only difference is that, we here are aware of other realities
And we in fact use your reality's 'internets'.

Let me tell you the entire point of this 'email'.
What you would consider our 'election day' is close at hand.
The clear winner in this 'election' has devised a new 'law'
that they intend to enact once in office.
It is my job to have 'both sides' to the 'argument' before the new person 'takes office'

However, this clear winner has not told anyone of this plan, or this 'law'
Save for a few of his closest supporters, and colleagues.
Word cannot get out of this plan before it is submitted to become a 'law'
Not in our reality, that is...

So, using your reality's 'internet' I have created something known as a 'forum'
Upon this forum I would enjoy it if you and all of your friends 'registered'
This forum will be a debate forum, one section for the 'law's' supporters
One section for those who are against this 'law'
A section for discussion between the two sides
And a section for people to post their created campaign posters.

Now, You may wonder why I would want to have this forum, and your opinions
As I said, our realities are quite similar, and as such, our arguments for and against things are similar as well
I want to know the arguments for both sides of this plan before it is sent to public opinion
And the truth is, I am sort of 'on the fence' as you would say.
So, I need to know what the likely majority will think and say,
As well as, if it is put into place, and passed, what are the possible rammifications
I need to know...

...is it worth it?

So here it is,
your chance to help.
Every post you make on the forum will be a huge help for me.
I will post on both sides, and in the discussion areas as well.
I am both supporter and Devil's Advocate to both sides.
In addition to all the discussion in regards to this 'law', there is a 'poster' contest.
Anyone on the forum may post a 'poster' or 'sign' in support of their personal view.
And everyone can 'vote' as to which one you like best.
This is not a 'for' versus 'against' contest, but a mere contest of votes.
The created 'poster' on each side of the argument with the most votes, will be distributed to the people in my reality.
If you are lucky, the winner may recieve something special as well...

If you are interested in helping me, please, 'email' me at fragmin.stemsSPLATgmail.com
Once you do, I will tell give you the logistics on the possible future 'law'.
I do warn you, however, that this law, has the ability to save the world...
or to pit every single person on it against each other...

I eagerly await your response...

-Fragmin Stems

 		yeah I got the same email as well Lex.

I emailed back with:
Hello Mr Stems,

You've peeked my interest and I'd care to hear more.

Angelus

and got this response:

Quote:

Sure thing. I am currently working on getting my 'forum' up, however it is taking longer than I anticipated because I am not entirely familiar with your 'internets' as much as I should be. However I will definitely let you know when it has launched. Until then I would enjoy learning more about you and your interests, and I am open to questions as well from you...

Is it just me or is the first thing that comes to mind stemcell?
Edit: I say this because I found the anagram farming stems

 		New Email from Fragmin requesting us to "recruit" members.... UGH (lazy)

Quote:
Hi!
I am so excited!
You all have responded to me with quickness
I was sure it would take 'weeks' for you to answer my
'email'. I guess thats the power of your 'internets'!

I am working on the 'forum' as we speak, however
I have come across a small problem.
You see, which im sure you must be able to if you answer emails,
I need a lot of people to help me,

I mean, 'thousands' would be great, and so would 'hundreds'
Though I believe those to be 'unrealistic'.

So, if you all can do me a big 'favor'

And get some of your friends, or whomever to help me
That would be 'great'.

I doubt that you will find it hard, once you explain that its 'serious'
and 'real', and that this is not a game, they should be 'more than happy' to help.

I 'look forward', which we all have to in order to walk,
to speaking more with you.

-Fragmin Stems


EDIT:

Words in 'quotes':
weeks, email, internets, forum, thousands, hundreds, unrealistic, favor, great, serious, real, more than happy, look forward

 		I also got the email, and this response when I said I would help:

Quote:
That is 'wonderfull' as you would all say! I enjoy your speed on responding, the 'internets' is vast and 'amazing'.


I had a giggle at the 'internets'.

 		And a new email.

Quote:
I have just heard about the 'function' known as 'chatting'.
This seems like a very neat ability and I am eager to 'get into it'.
A 'friend' of mine mentioned somebody or some body part you use for 'internets' 'chatting' called an Eyearesee.
I am not sure I posess such an ability or organ, but if any of you know about this, please do explain it to me further.
Those in my reality say that my 'blogs' are 'incomprehensible' to those of you out there,
because my languistic skills are not of your 'caliber' (which I can understand because I was not taught what a 'twenty-two' caliber is)

I do not understand many of your 'connections' between words. If words are 'deadly' enough to be 'classified' as a 'caliber', then why do you not need a 'license' to use them?


I guess we need to find his IRC (Eyearesee) channel?

 		He wanted an IRC channel, so I made one for him: #fragmin

Also, he has a blog, but he doesn't want to tell me about it yet until more people get interested in him.
