This arrived in my email this morning:
____________________________________________________
Good day, Mr. Walker (or the appropriate time for when you are
accessing this email).
CONGRATULATIONS,
YOU ARE THE FIRST LINK.
YOU MUST HELP ME ANSWER THIS MYSTERY.
THE CONSPIRACY OF B IS TOO MUCH FOR ME.
WAIT FOR IT.

Excuse me. There is a slightly eventful happening that is about to
happen I must attend to. I would like you to post at your esteemed
blog this email. Even you are a pawn to the rest, Mr. Botherer.

I assume some of you actually went and looked at enchantedforums.tk yes?
June 21st, 2005 on 02:28
Appears to be some kind of small-time forum…
June 21st, 2005 on 09:56
With only one post, and not much of a lead in that. Interesting.

What’s the aim of the game? If it is game…

This was emailed to me:

Hey
I think I can help you. Your blog post mentioned sixdoorsago.blogspot.com and The Conspiracy of B. Well, you had the code (as promised at the blog). Whew. Thanks.
The morse code I have no idea what it means, but I got an email telling me I was the THIRD LINK, and it instructed me to find you (and the second link, i don’t know who that is) and give you this.

Seems to be some kind of form, but I don’t know what is means.

Lewis:
I’ve no idea. The email arrived Monday morning, I bodged the morse translation in ten minutes and then went to Cheltenham. I’ve no idea. I’m aware it’s more fun if we avoid shouting ARGGGGHH too often.

html source for that form is enlightening. Note the password.
"THE CONSPIRACY OF B"
Please answer the following form.
June 21st, 2005 on 19:40
oh crap…uh how do I post html without it rendering?
Oh well the gist is, the password is “ItMustStaySecret” and the source also contains the following:
“You will find no truth in this form, only pain. The answers are in your hands. You know too much. Open. Close. Open. Close.”
“Congratulations. If you are reading this, you have been successful. Report yourself to SixDoorsAgo. He will brief you on your next missions.”

An absolutely HORRENDOUS amount of adverts on that page.
June 21st, 2005 on 23:10
On which page?
June 22nd, 2005 on 15:34
http://www.whatisthiswhyareyouhere.net.tc/
Although checking now, there’s not as many as I remember.

John, I don’t know if you’ve been informed, but Kids in the Hall season 3 will be coming out on DVD soon:
http://www.kidsinthehall.com/kith/
(I think I showed you this site before, but I don’t suppose repetition hurts.)
June 22nd, 2005 on 17:01
I don’t suppose you have the standard e-mail information: address, name, subject.. that sort of stuff.
June 22nd, 2005 on 20:05
if u check the forum site ( the one with Lazurus ) …and log in …u can e mail the guy ..( and by the way he`s the only one that u can e mail ) ..I tried and mailed him …but nothing yet …:)
June 22nd, 2005 on 21:12
Lazurus may not be the same as the man who sent the e-mail.

John– the “third link”
What is your blog, and would you mind telling us what the email stated? It might help us if we figure out how you became the third link… I think we know why botherer here is the first.

Riley:
The email is reprinted in full in this blog entry. My blog is merely my blog. I’ve just realised I’ve no “About me” section, so for those coming via UF, I’m a freelance games writer in the UK, and I recently wrote a large feature about ARGs in PC Gamer UK. This is the only thing that I can think of that would cause me to be involved.
Richard:
The email address was:
“conspirator6@gmail.com”
The name was: “Six Doors Ago”
And the subject was: “Good day, Mr. Walker.”

Oh, and Riley, I am ‘botherer’, the ‘first link’.
Sorry for the confusion.
