 		I actually gave my cell number to aLesha incase she needed further contact. FACAB monitors her email so more then likely got my number from there *waves fist*

 		Stupid email, I cant send a coded 'we read you loud and clear' email to Alesha.
Instead I sent an accusatory email to the address on facab.org.
Maybe I'll get a response, maybe I'll dissapear- who knows? Razz

 		E-mail
I wrote to Alesha to basically inform her that I was interested in helping her. She responded in Code which ended up saying "Read my Blog for answers", which I guess is important for me but not so for the rest of you. However, my question to everyone at this point in time is if we should be responding in code as well? If FACAB is in fact monitoring the "conversations", as it very well appears that they are, wouldn't it be wise to do so? Anyway, I'm going to e-mail Alesha back in code essentially asking her this question, but I just wanted to throw it out there for the rest of you to ponder.

Hey Ush...Can I have your record collection?

As far as Alesha, I just e-mailed her about how I always Lewis Carroll, esp. Jabberwocky, and that it made perfect sense to me.

 		Code
I think that we need to make one up. One that is not known to any code brakers so that FACAB can not crack it. Maybe one like, oh I don't know, number represent certain letters? Or how about taking numbers that represent letters that represent numbers that represent letters (1=F=2=C)? Something like that? Anyway, we need something that is not simple to crack, unlike the one that is currently being used.

Also, is there a IRC chat room for this ARG? If so, what is it? Thanks.

 		Wild Speculation
I have a wild speculation here. According to Aleshas' recent blog entry, James worked with Mr. Kevin Ashley at FACAB, but that she doesn't know much about FACAB themselves. So James was involved with some pretty hush, hush stuff.

FACAB obviously knows that James is a danger to them alive, so why they'd keep him alive is unknown to me (if they are indeed the ones that are currently holding him).

One common aspect to anyone who has seen James is that he looks tired and is in handcuffs or bound in some way. This makes me believe that someone is holding him for information. But it's very strange to parade someone around the streets if you are trying to get information from them. Most of the time you'd simply keep them in a locked room somewhere and torture them until you get what you want or they die. Then you just throw their body in a lake or river somewhere.

So a lot of this story really doesn't make any sense to me. Unless you take the eye witnesses out of the picture. Then you are left with something very interesting. This would be my wild speculation:

James knows something. What? I don't know. But, whatever it is, it's enough for him to run away and enough for FACAB to try and run after him. More then likely FACAB knows that what James knows can hurt them and therefore want him dead.

James knew that he would have to leave Alesha for awhile, which is why he made arrangements with the flower company to deliver the one rose every year for nine years.

FACAB is very interested in knowing where James could be simply because they used someone of trust, the therapist, Jack, to try and get whatever information Alesha may have had about James' whereabouts. They also used Jack to try and get Alesha to forget about James, probably through hypnosis.

If there is one thing that we can agree on, it's that we need to find James before FACAB does. But how that's going to be possible is yet to be seen.

 		10 minutes and I am hooked!
Complete n00b here...just read about ARGs for the first time today and I decided to give one a shot. Totally hooked!

One thing that I noticed in the source code of Alesha's profile page is the following:

printEmail("blogne1seenjames@gmail.com.biz");

gmail.com.biz? That looks odd to me. It's also in a comment...

Sorry, one last thing...I see people referring to IU. What does this mean?

IU is short for Immersion Unlimited. You can go to the Seen James thread at IU through this link: http://www.forum.immersionunlimited.com/viewforum.php?f=77

 		There was an update on FACAB.org today with a picture of the UN building and the following.

Nathan Grant, director of FACAB, will soon be attending the United Nations to discuss the security of the world.

If you view source on the main page you can come up with

http://www.facab.org/documents


which leads you to this message
YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO ACCESS SECURE DOCUMENTS.
Access will not be granted to anyone without sufficient security clearance.

Viewing source on that brings up

Yeah, screw that. Here's your clearance:
018c474a9e65e63f2d50ba252d07882c


Alright code breakers! get to work =)

credit goes to the OP on IU who found this first

Also for the MODS/ADMINS is there any way we can get a Seen James? section sicne this has become a good ARG?

 		Assumption
Are we to assume here that the last part of the code (d07882c) is the .doc of what we are looking for?

 		New here. Just discovered this yesterday. I am trying to get up to speed and so far have not really had any trouble with deciphering anything...problem is I have received no emails. I sent one to alesha right after decoding the first message...but no reply...do I have to wait...or will she even send them out seeing as how other are already ahead of me?

I am totally hooked on this so point me in the right direction so I can be of help.
