Revision as of 20:17, 13 March 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:
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
Then follows an error code:
"f8080:xx95034
internal error academail
criticalerror 420
error-authconflict
error-redirect
error-handover
error-output
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.
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.

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.

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.
