Brigid Harker

In case this helps decipher why certain people received either email: I have not received any videos, text messages, etc. from Jon. The only factor I can discriminate is that I may have been one of the first ~50 to tell Brigid where Jon was on the helpmefindjon site. That being said, I received an email from sender: Brigid Harker and subject "Thank you so very, very much", with the "I am honour bound to keep mine" email.

i got the "good" email too!

"I'm currently waiting to receive the final funds from my generous corporate benefactor and I'll let you know as soon as you can collect them.

Thanks again, all my love

Brigid x"

so, now find the clue....wondering what the reward might be then, if we all collect 10k pounds, would be unreal....mmmm wondering how...

can somebody retrace the email, then find out howmuch of these copies were actually sent? not by hacking i mean????

edit:

what i find weird is that she says at 21.00 on Friday 28th of januari.....

i suppose correct english would be: on friday 28th of januari, at 21.00..........

I got the email too but I am hesitant to believe this has all finally come to an end. There is too much unsolved here. No one has even come close to unlocking the Mezzazine door. No one has figured out the pass to Jon's contract at S & S. I scored an 80/50 on the test but have yet to be contacted about it. The picture, that lists Jon's memories..may have just been nothing but seems odd they would make that the result of entering a combo into the Mezzazine door just to have it lead nowhere. There's also the November entry in the journal. There's several other things I have not listed here. There are so many things here unanswered and unexplained. If this really is the end of the game..kind of a crappy way to end it don't ya think? Just in case..I am currently tearing apart the list of Jon's memories found on the picture and his entry into the guest book..those two things just looked awful similar in the way they were written out and it's been bugging me...so seeing if I can get anything out of it.

Hey

We may have to wait until Feb.21 for any kind of updates!
Winning money would definitely be cool, but splitting it up amongst 50 people...i dunno if that'll happen! Neutral
I didn't recieve any video or text message from Jon, and I live in Canada, and I got the "good" e-mail, so I don't think it has anything to to with those. If anything, it is in fact that the first 50 or whatever people to e-mail Brigid got the "good" e-mail.

and, now brigid found jon, i guess it wont be too difficult for the MIB to find him too......wondering what will happen next.....

Nah, it makes sense both ways around.

(more on my fibonacci prizes idea: it's makes good sense, what with each number in the sequence being the sum of the previous two. That would mean the first twenty-one [or is it twenty, my logic circuits are fried!]people to post the correct solution would get a cash prize... although the last two people to get it would only get a pound each.)

No way

Yeah, there is no way the game is over at that point. I mean, even if we weren't supposed to contact Brigid, the PMs would surely have something more for us, right?

I'm with Faithers... and to be quite honest if it's a "they think it's all over...it is now...." scenario.. I will be well pissed off with Stella Artois...

Once we've solved ALL the ickle clues they keep dangling THEN dole out the rewards

if they do it now I think it's a big cop out with the PM's running of out of ideas and steam and pushed to pursue their next client's contract, so they want to finish this one off quickly....


hopefully this is the not the case, and I am just being a grumpy old peeps

...otherwise, Stella I'd sack the PM's coz your (Full) bottles are up for target practise

...phew, glad got that off me chest

this is what i got:

Subject: Thank you so very, very much

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"

Your location was right.

At 21.00 on Friday 28th January I finally caught up with my brother. As you can imagine, he wept when he saw me.

Because you've kept your end of the deal, I am now honour bound to keep mine. So don't worry, I've not forgotten the £10,946 reward – and I'm sure you haven't either!

I'm currently waiting to receive the final funds from my generous corporate benefactor and I'll let you know as soon as you can collect them.

Thanks again, all my love

Brigid x

OK, so if anyone else is thinking of posting the email they received, don't worry about it - unless it differs from those already posted. We can clearly distinguish between the "very good" email and then "not quite so good" email so let's just talk in terms of those?

Just to cut down on clutter, you understand.

Agreed.

I think the game is still afoot.

1) Waiting to receive funds from generous corporate benefactor... sounds like a reference to S&S, which is in-game.

2) Found Jon at 21:00 on January 28. 21 is a fibonacci number. Also, the date is 01/28/05 (or 28/01/05 in europe). Add up those numbers, and you get 28+1+05 = 34 = another fibonacci.

On the different emails.
I think there's different servers on different continents for this game. Previous posts have noted differences between 'versions' of the hiding room, as though updates were propagating across more than one server. I sent my location note to Brigid relatively late (Sunday around 2000 at GMT -8 (8:00 pm pst)), yet I still got the 'first' email back. I believe some of our european friends sent in responses before I did, but still got the 'know reason' email.

Anyway I think it's worth keeping an eye on...

-D

Hang on a second,
I didn't get any e-mail from brigid!!!!
Seems odd, seeing as I was one of the first to enter 'Peel castle, Isle of man'.
I even got the e-mail from her saying 'I'll get back to you'

I feel thoroughly left out, and PM's if you're reading this, why didn't I get an e-mail?


I'm still pouting about not getting one too! I still wonder about Dontpanic??? I wish he/she would check in and tell us if he got the email.
