3 New agents are on the map, looks like they get added on a daily basis maybe.

2 New emails, one in B. Callum's inbox, one in B. Laffont's. The one in Laffont's is especially troubling, apparently Nadirah thinks she's meeting Argyle North in Valencia so is heading there. Marcus said the Jacks must have Argyle's phone.

And lastly Marcus was in chat for a few minutes this morning, i'm attaching a log.

okay

yesterday their was an influx of newbies to the chatroom

we all know the pros and cons of this

one, more players IS a good thing despite our internal feelings on the matter

two, it CAN be really aggravating bringing them up to speed

can we all try to be a little welcoming and ignore their ignorance no matter how irritating? this is a general statement, not targeting anyone

the best way we can help however is to UPDATE THE WIKI!

the nutshell is done but

timeline needs updated for the last week
and a lot of little communiques with marcus and arabella are missing
ETA: all the recent chats need to be uploaded as well

then, we can just shove the newbies in the direction of the wiki and everyone will be on the same page?

p.s. i'm really really not trying to be "queen bee" here, and tell you guys what to do...so sorry for stepping on any toes...i just know what its like to be a newb entering and established game and being turned off really quickly by the seasoned players

You are not the only one who thinks that.

Hmm, sounds promising especially since Callum seems to be the IT guy of BB judging from the requests to clear cache and repair Spam filters. That would mean it's quite probable he's behind the SCADA hacking SW and things related as you propse above. Perhaps after he saw all the thngs BB's PR department is doing to it's employees he decided it's time to get back to the corporation? It's still a guess though, we might want to try testing it somehow. Perhaps asking BB about Mr. Callum? Because if he did really send threats on internal server I don't think he works for BB anymore.

Can you post up a screenshot of what it looks like when you click the ovi symbol and it shows the other 2 games? I'm wondering if there is some sort of RSS feed, or site that shows all the games.

In the UK, you can download a special edition of the free augmented reality service Point & Find – available from mid-July. The special app (called Conspiracy For Good: DeadDrop) will let users point their Nokia devices at objects in the real world and take part in real world challenges in London later in the summer as the first phase of the project draws towards a dramatic finale. If the plot ends well and the bad guys are thwarted, this will result in very good things happening for the Chataika Basic School, located in the village of Chataika in eastern Zambia.

Pretty awesome for you Londoners.

Something I mentioned in the chat: I think the Nokia app was designed by BB to hack into things as part of the SCADA - as it allows the user to hack into things without requiring much computer knowledge. Jack hacked it and re-engineered it to hack into BB's own email servers.

I created a transcript of the app's "About" page here: http://pastebin.com/TprsazEn, which credits the Project Manager as someone called "BC". Bernie Callum? I think so.

Then if you chuck "Bernie Callum = Jack" into the mix, the storyline may have gone something like this: Bernie writes this program for BB, with full knowledge (as project manager) of what it was capable of. He get weary and decides to abscond, thus becoming Jack. He re-writes the program allowing it to hack BB back.

So "b. callum" is not a loyal BB worker?

2. Sounds dangerous:

Your order just arrived at the London HQ, we’re waiting for the corresponding munitions but you should have them delivered by monday.

I’ll get back to you regarding the stun grenades.

The cell phone game Mainframe Liberator that was mentioned earlier gives you a Mail Acount ID after every level you beat and refers you to http://mail.blackwellbriggs.com

After trying numerous login/password combinations with the given ID's last night I finally noticed today that the url has login?key= after it, so I randomly tried entering the MA ID after the = sign and it worked.

That's the basics of it. There are 10 levels in the game, all 10 MAI's are in my previous post.

You can generate a code here: http://bbemail.lovelace.conspiracyforgood.org/device/get_code?api_key=dd120c74044ccf80827f3b1d9cb540&IMEI=###############. Replace the #'s with any string of numbers, and it should work. Once you generate a code, wait a minute or two before inputting it into the box at http://conspiracyforgood.com/map (labelled Reveal Blackwell Briggs).

Inputting the codes seems to get the agents that have already been revealed. That is, the 7 agents in Spain seem to be the only ones that pop up.

EDIT:
All the information from the "Mainframe Liberator" Nokia app is in this file, here: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=CsNW9aaG. There must be some clues as to a username and password somewhere in there for http://mail.blackwellbriggs.com/...

Couple things to add, 1. you must wait at least 2 minutes before entering a code. 2. After using a code it will always come up invalid, whether or not it came up invalid the first time.

We really need to figure out the mail.blackwellbriggs.com logins...
