Just received this from someone named Jack Spicer.
I highly doubt its spam- I know it's a puzzle of some sort, but what? It's not ROT.

Its a vigenere:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Using a key of: freedomishalfthekey

Giving:

I am alive,

Please do not search for me,

I am free,

Please do not call my name,

The shackles are broken,

Please do not morn my grave,

The Tides oh how they change,

Please do not worship him,

The deamons do scoff now,

But they too shall fall,

I am at peace now,

...The hunter is now the hunted.


Hope that helps.

Well, freedom is half the key, so what's the other half?

I think that's the question. What would fit with freedom?

according to my google search, Jack Spicer turned up here.... just a few days before sending you that email (assuming you recieved it after the 23rd)
http://www.poemhunter.com/jack-spicer/poet-11349/

The poems are almost certainly in the exact same style as your email. hmmmm.
He IS a real artist, but your poem implies "he's alive"

I've mailed him back, I'll let you know if he responds.

This reminds me of a certain deposed Nigerian... It reeks of spam. They probably spoofed the email address

Vineyard Fox Valley?

I don't know what the hell it is, but I got this email today. My name isn't Bill and I don't know who these people are, so I think it might be a game. Coming right off the official announcement that City of Domes is cancelled, I figured Virtuquest might have started up something else.
What do you think?

Bill,

you can call these people to find a replacement:)

My opinion is that this is just a lost email. The website just seems way too legit to me.

I'm originally from that area, so I can tell you the following. Aurora, Illinois is a real place. It contains some areas which are often called Fox Valley (as in, the Fox river valley). The area and ZIP codes given are substantially correct for Aurora, IL (as well as the street address, now that I've looked at the web page). IMHO there's enough reality there to suggest to me it's not a trailhead.

LOL Before checking out the webpage, I thought it was a real vineyard, and I was thinking "Geez, that's really NOT wine country, and I'm not aware of a winery around there..." Laughing

a couple things bump me on this..
why a security log in for the member
page? don't churches want to spread
the word not hide the word..?
there's this curious service first sunday
of the month titled "desperate" ...
they also say something like "come check
out our early service which includes the
early bird special "communion". ... hmm?
also, there's a ton of God vs Satan
in the text about what they believe
and honestly, i don't think those are
real glasses on the cover page chick
i've written an email telling them i'm
interested in the church and would
like to know more about the members page

worth a try..

Yeah. While that website is really professional looking, I can't imagine this place being real. These people seem nuts. What kind of a church would have a name like that at all?
