I should have checked here first, but I started a thread in the News and Rumors section about 10 minutes ago when I got the email too. Sorry if I should have posted it here first.

 		I got this email 2 days ago and found it odd. 1. I've never played minesweeper before and 2. I dont think my email is on any blogs.

Hi CapnZ ... I found some minesweeper score posts at the old ranking (planet-minesweeper) and I'm trying to track down the CapnZ who made them. I'd be greatful if you let me know whether this was you (got both emails off blogs). Thanks! I already have the videos, just need to know name and country.

Damien

There was also a link to a minesweeper webpage.
Doesnt seem very argish but I found it odd none the less

If we could have the link, maybe we could help a little more?

 		I just got this email:

Quote:
Hi! I'm working on a game, and would like some help from other players out there! Oh, my name is Sophi.

Okay, so I have a friend of a friend who works for Stillhet. I'm sure you've heard of Stillhet, they're a big company in the states now. Anyway, this friend passed along some interesting files and information to me, and I would love to make a game and expose this company for what they are. This all must seem really serious, I know, but this is going to be so fun.

Could anyone help me? I have to scan some of these files, and find a way to get these tapes onto my computer, but once I do I'll start passing stuff along to you.

Thanks! My dad always said, when one mega company falls, humanity rises.

Sophi~


I would normally think nothing of it, but I have never heard of a company called Stillhet and I found nothing with a Google search. If this Sophi is real, and this isn't an ARG, then I apologize to her, but I personally think it is one.

Oh, I got it from sophi.hoangSPLATgmail.com

 		I didn't respond at all.
It also didn't sit right with me that I think I was BCC'd the email.

Anyway, as I'm working on my own game, I don't have time to play, so if anyone else thinks this is a game they can make a thread for it if they like. Very Happy

To all vigilant U.S. citizens,
America is at a bloody crossroads. Millions of our brothers, sisters, sons and daughters have perished because of a greedy, corrupt government. They did nothing to defend us from the alien warlords that now ravage our beloved soil. It's their fault, but it's our problem.

Despite the rumors you may have heard, the Alliance has survived. Our offices were decimated, our ranks diminished, but nothing could ever crush our rebel spirit. We were driven underground but, just like a feral beast, we are strongest when we're backed into a corner and threatened with certain death. That time has come – we need to act now.

Join the fight to save our country and remember...

what game is this for?
