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 E-mails'''
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.
 
Please post your leaked e-mail here, in chronological order.  Feel free to add relative links to topics as you see fit.

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.

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:

==Lettie wants a favour==
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.

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.

He has been a member of the defence forces of this city for many years, has assisted in the capture of numerous criminals and has been awarded every one of those "chest full of medals" for distinguished service.

OK. If you want to know what he did for me, this is it: when I was arrested (remember that? remember how you *didn't* come to see me, send me a message....?) [[Garnet Reed|Garnet]] stayed with me in the police station. He came to see me and talk to me. He helped me find good defence lawyers. And when I was released, he switched apartments with me, so that I didn't have to deal with all that media for a while. OK? That's what he did for me. Come back when you've done as much. Oh, and I won't be coming to dinner this evening.

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.

Very well. I shall continue to monitor the other members of the team, as agreed.

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.

Aiko's personnel file is attached. As you can see we've always been aware that she was strongly religious. I do not see that this has the slightest implication for her work.

I disagree. This information is certainly evidence in the theft of the Cube. I'm turning it over to the proper authorities now.


Caine is a man of many hidden secrets. Most of them quite incriminating.

That today would be a good day to go back home and call in sick a bit later. Fortunately for you, only Von and I are in the office so far to see your telltale fingernails. My advice is, cut them as short as you can and use McWhirter's Reliable Remover. Old fashioned but it works. It was a nice piece of performance theatre, though.

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.

We've been doing a QA assessment of the Wave 4 cards now that they're printed, and we've noticed a lot of unusual markings on them. They don't seem to be integrated into the card designs, and now we're wondering if there was a problem on your end, or is this intentional?


...And then the blame starts.

Can you believe this? They pretty obviously screwed up something fierce somewhere on their side and when we pointed out it couldn't be production problems and our fault, they go radio silent. Typical. They're always on about how very superior and intellectual they are, but you know S wouldn't last a week at Cambridge or Oxford.

And at least we don't celebrate holidays based on the mystical properties of the divine right angle.

In the days before the SFConn, the Third Power were also making plans. They intended to hijack the signal, and send a dozen agents to Earth.

Well, there's some 'library of something or other' subdirectory off the main path, for example. I only saw it for a split second and I couldn't get into it, but it clearly doesn't belong there, whatever it is.

The 3P in the city may have been hampered -- but on Earth, they're going strong. possibly stronger, since everyone in the city was raided and rounded up. But what are they working on?

Point taken. But your guys over here aren't helping any. Keep poking their noses in, causing things to spontaneously combust. Can you have a word?
