It's not my fault. I simply mistook the contact. The contact gave the
appropriate response to the feeder line and correctly completed the
third element. I barely gave anything away before realising the error. She
didn't appear suspicious. Contact correctly identified within two
hours. I don't think this need go further up the line. Please do not refer

After being led to suspicions of ill-will, Violet thought maybe it would be best to camp out in the Museum and see what happens.  This meant sneaking in, which meant having a reason not to be at the ball:

After stealing the Cube, Violet was left holding the bagLiterallyAn embroidered "I <3 NY" bag, a shovel, and a jacket were the only physical evidence Violet had ever been to Earth.  And Scarlett managed to make a mess of the bag.

Don't worry, [[Von Lubik|Von]]. I'll talk to her.
[[Q]] (Bernardo Holyoke) got a bit full of himself.  He hid some stolen academy [[parts]], which were later discovered by police (after a tip from [[Pietro Salk]], who got a tip from [[Monica Grand]]). Holyoke's penalty for disobedience was swift execution.

You see, Sente was secretly building a new Cube.  This required a great deal of unstable materials, and experimental technological procedures.  [[Scarlett]] and [[Violet]] would stumble upon these things later.

I assume you are observing the proper security protocols throughout the facility? Be sure to keep me posted regarding anything anomalous, even if it appears to check out. And make sure your people give me up-to-the-minute reports when the testing begins.<br />
Violet & Kurt snuck bits and bobs onto [[Puzzle Cards]].  This was their big plan.  And neither Mind Candy nor the Academy were aware of it until the cards were in the wild.

I've been reviewing all of our procedures, and I can't find any red flags at all. You're right, though, this wasn't a case of transmission corruption, as we do see evidence of this same tampering in our finals, though not in any of the earlier versions at all. I've checked back and seen some differences in the finals from the previous waves, as well. It must have slipped our notice before. I'm gravely concerned about what this could mean.

Latest revision as of 14:40, 14 July 2007


On Wednesday 16th November 2005, Perplex City players who had completed the set of four blue hex cards were sent an e-mail congratulating them from the Academy.

However, it seems that the Academy's e-mail system managed to leak some internal e-mails at the bottom of these e-mails sent out to players. Each player so far has received a different e-mail fragment. They are arranged below in date order.

The top portion of the e-mail reads:

"Dear [player name],

Congratulations, you've solved a set of four Perplex City cards. We've rewarded you by doubling your points for each of the cards in the set.

Your Perplex Point total is now [total]. You have solved [x] cards. We in Perplex City would like to thank you for your continued dedication to our cause. With your help, we are certain that the Receda Cube will be found and returned safely.

Sincerely,
The Puzzle Scribe Team

Perplex City Academy"

Then follows an error code:

"f8080:xx95034
internal error academail
criticalerror 420
error-authconflict
error-redirect
error-handover
error-output

fatal-close"

From 20th December 2005 it appears as if some of these emails have been sent again, although at this time they don't appear to be related to the actual solving of a set (i.e. although the email refers to solving a set, no card was solved at the time the email was sent). The resent email has an additional header at the start of the mail as follows.

Failure in Centre for Reality Research Sandbox Mail Transport Daemon (daemon
subprocess 3ea5). Mind Candy unavailable. Final resend attempt follows.


Wave 4 cards appear to have new e-mails associated with solving a set of cards. These e-mails start with an error message like the following.

f90fmvvc9m239v-2;23f-000112academail

criticalerror1037
error502-authconflict
error503-redirect

This page has become very very long. To help curb that, we are now sorting by year. Please see the appropriate page, linked below for older emails. This page will contain only emails from the current year. It would appear newer emails are being recieved in progression with waves of cards and major events, so (in theory) the newest emails should be chronologically sorted, to the bottom of this page.



Some of these messages have become extremely important. Those should be listed below......



Violet told us a story, after sherevealed she stole the cube, about her visiting the Five of Cups bar, and being approached by Q. Here is Q apologizing to his boss:

It's not my fault. I simply mistook the contact. The contact gave the appropriate response to the feeder line and correctly completed the third element. I barely gave anything away before realising the error. She didn't appear suspicious. Contact correctly identified within two hours. I don't think this need go further up the line. Please do not refer to V.


After being led to suspicions of ill-will, Violet thought maybe it would be best to camp out in the Museum and see what happens. This meant sneaking in, which meant having a reason not to be at the ball:

After stealing the Cube, Violet was left holding the bag. Literally. An embroidered "I <3 NY" bag, a shovel, and a jacket were the only physical evidence Violet had ever been to Earth. And Scarlett managed to make a mess of the bag.

Q (Bernardo Holyoke) got a bit full of himself. He hid some stolen academy parts, which were later discovered by police (after a tip from Pietro Salk, who got a tip from Monica Grand). Holyoke's penalty for disobedience was swift execution.

In the middle of endless confusion, it was revealed that Aiko was a reconstructionist. She had already come under suspicion for her involvement in the Academy ball, but not discernible connection could be made. Violet's discovery at the recon compound, and a certain Recon Encryption Puzzle put all eyes on her.

Lara Feldenbrandt, manager of Viendenbourg mining operations, reported directly to Sente. You see, Sente was secretly building a new Cube. This required a great deal of unstable materials, and experimental technological procedures. Scarlett and Violet would stumble upon these things later.

Good news to report, sir. We've finally achieved a good accretion rate for the material, and we should be able to amass the desired concentration by sometime toward the end of the month. If all goes well, this means we should be able to begin trials of the device by mid-June. Provided, of course, that we get those last bits of gear you keep promising.


Violet & Kurt snuck bits and bobs onto Puzzle Cards. This was their big plan. And neither Mind Candy nor the Academy were aware of it until the cards were in the wild.
