EXCLUSIVE TO MOLE FANS

All: In the coming weeks, we'll be rolling out a new game based on our hit show, Alias. As the game requires skills

in observation, clue-finding, and espionage, I think you all may enjoy playing it. 

 

If you are interested in playing this sneak peek of the Alias game, check it out at: 

http://abc.abcnews.go.com/primetime/alias/adv.html.

 

You'll have to use this url, as you won't be able to get to the game any other way. You may want

to just cut and paste it into your browser. 

 

Enjoy, and see you all back here on Tuesday to find out Who Is The Mole?

Agent Weiss-Bot  

  • This bot is our "handler", he will assign code words & then the agents (players) will respond when the mission is completed with the correct answer.  

  • To Join the Game- Tell the bot you want to join the CIA. Other players have had luck with similar phrases. Weiss-bot will then start you on your missions.

  • Hints from Weiss-bot: If you need help with the mission you are working on, you may post on one of the message boards, or type "Hint: then your current codeword" into the Weiss-bot.  He will then provide a hint for your mission. 

  • To correspond with Weiss-bot about a codeword: type "Codeword: then the current codeword". 

  • Visit the Operations guide for codewords, Weiss-bot missions, answers, and a complete walk through.

Recruit:

Good job. You caught the attention of some pretty good people here.

We're doing an analysis on the documents recovered in St. Moritz. I'll

keep you in the loop as much as we can. Looks like you've completed your first operation!

 

Contact me via the SecNetComm in a few days; I'm not sure what I'll have you doing, since your application to join the CIA is still under review, but I'd like to keep you involved on this investigation. Your next mission Codeword is "Barrel". Don't lose it.

Again, nice work. Don't respond to this email.

The info from our internet operative was good.

 

I went into the Hotel Schweizerhof with no problem, and found the

package in room 504, under the nightstand, exactly where it was expected.

 

Hotel records show a Bertrand Arceneaux had stayed in the room not too

long ago; I found a single reference to a Burt Arceneaux on an old

roster of French agents suspected of working with SD-8. I feel

comfortable this is the same man.

 

I've forwarded the envelope and its contents - a stack of parchment with numbers, looks like a spreadsheet - to analysis. I'll have the results soon.<

 

So, mission accomplished.  Thank Weiss for the intel.

  • Two new email addresses: steven.omahoney@creditdauphine.com and billy_marlin_2002@go.com.

  • Go to movies.com and search for Eight Legged Freaks.  At the bottom of it’s page, there is a place to post your own reviews.  Click Read More. There is a post from Billy Marlin- http://movies.go.com/cgi/reviews/request.dll?MESSAGE&productName=43839&reviewId=30  Post: “great legged film! see it this is a great movie. it hits the mark on everything it sets out to do. props to the writer, too. see this movie and have some fun for a change. do we always need depressing arthouse films? this is not a film for an idealist. or goofy film elitist. go out and volunteer in your community to see light, fun films that we need from time to time!

  • Go to http://www.idealist.org (from the bolded letters in the above message).  Go to the community page.  At the message boards, look for the topic Volunteer in your Community (also from above message).  This message is posted by WillieFish on 8/26/02 at 5:52pm. http://www.idealist.org/bbs/cgi-bin/showflat.pl?SID=38174fdabdd5dceb7a83f1e6853baeb1&Cat=&Board=vv&Number=2920&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=0&part=  “ Volunteer in Arizona state park. give us a PAT on OUr backs, and volunteer to help us clean up a national park! check the weather at weather.com, grab a board and head out for some recreation in arizona's greatest national park, saguaro national park! help us keep it neat and clean.

  • Above post directs to weather.com. Visit the site and select the Boards & Forums under the Interact area (derived from the above message).  Select the Recreation topic. Then the National Parks topic.  This message is posted by b.A. on 8/27/02 at 1:53 pm. http://messageboards.weather.com/3/OpenTopic?a=tpc&s=253291764&f=9172910262&m=3992950966  this is the last part of our trip before our final destination. what an incredible park! a total value, and not as crowded as grand canyon. for finding this place, i am so smart, i'm JUZt a genIUS!

  • To find the guest book mentioned above.  Notice the capitalized letters and signatures throughout the messages.  The letters under his signature (ba) change.  Put these together and it comes out as a=u.  Create a cipher text where a=u. 

 

A                 u

B                 v

C                 w

D                 x

E                 y

F                  z

G                 a

H                 b

T                  n

U                 o

V                 p

W                q

X                  r

Y                 s

Z                  t

 

  • Then decipher the capitalized letters from the messages.  BOKCYUAXIK = viewsource.  PAT OU = junio.  XQERK = rkyle. JUZ IUS= dot com.  So view source at juniorkyle.com.  We also need to look in the guest book according to B.A. last message. 

  • http://www.juniorkyle.com/jr_guestbook.html  is Junior Kyle’s guestbook.  The following message is posted by WillieFish. “Your site is the bomb! I also really like the inside of your crib. Thanks for letting me post on it!” Once again hinting to look inside (the source code).

  • In the source code near WillieFish’s post you find these numbers:  35 14 3 31 77 6 55 49 14 22.

Subject: RE: Operation Numbers

 

Weiss:  

I've got good news and bad news.

The good news is, I know what these numbers are. They're the end result of a logarithm.

 

The bad news? The logarithm appears to be a lost formula known as "Maimonides' Enigma."

 

Maimonides was a Jewish scholar from Spain, who mostly focused on philosophy and law, but he was also a mathematical genius. It was

rumored that he had created a mathematical system that could accurately predict buying trends, based on market flow and, more importantly, human tend

encies and behaviors. No one could ever substantiate the claim, however, and has been the source of frustration for scholars for almost 800 years. Until now.

 

The full spreadsheet, which you saw is quite massive, is identical to the market flow of the Nikkei index from last week. It is very clear that it had been produced at least two weeks ago.

 

If this formula is this accurate, anyone who has unlocked the secret of Maimonides' Enigma could corner every stock market in the world inside of two months, and wreak havoc on the world economy. I'd recommend finding whoever has the complete formula. Quickly.

Until then, I'll be reading movie reviews of Eight Legged Freaks on

I believe the egreeting is basically the same, even though its new
and the review on Movies.com hasn't been updated since the 8/27 post.
So it seems to me that the first two posts could be a new clue, but
then dead ends at the egreeting?????? -cljagg2000

END OF OPERATION CORNERSTONE

EMAIL SUMMARY TO:  Weiss.CIA.DCHub@twdc.com  10/4/02  

A breakdown of items found in the October PO's listing from GoMining.com is posted in Joeyspizza under the Files section. It was mainly found that the PO names were derived from personnel working on Alias. 

The following email was received back from Weiss to the players:

 

Operative: Well, looks like this is going to come down to you. I'll put together our mission; when it's ready, use Codeword: Crow. Don't respond to this email. Contact me through the SecNetComm. Weiss 

p.s.-You're making me look good, which gives me something to smile about. -------------------------------- 

From: ******** (Vaughn) To: ********* (Weiss) cc: **********; ******** 

Subject: FWD: Operation Cornerstone 

Weiss: Can your op find out when and where the transaction is going down? 

Vaughn 

-------------------------------- 

From: ******** (Freelancer) To: ********* (Vaughn) cc: **********; ********; *********; ********; ********; ********; ********* 

Subject: RE: Operation Cornerstone 

Vaughn: I've acquired some information on this guy. He's a historian and government official who stole all sorts of historical documents and official secrets back in the '80's, and has been selling them to the highest bidder ever since. He's very bright, always on the move. He's legit, and if he's got Maimonides' Enigma, we need to get to him before anyone else does.

Inxite's Response

 

Received 10/7/02 in response to questioning on their hosting of the Credit Dauphine, Followers of Rambaldi, and Find-Whatever sites. 

Hi Equi,

Thanks for your interest in our company. Is there a particular type of software you are interested in? We do mainly custom work and some design, so there is no software we actually sell in a box or anything like that.

We do rent server space as well, and host.inxite.com is the name of one of the servers we use. Were you interested in hosting?

Sincerely,

Corey Beeken
Account Executive

listed were players in Season 1. 

-The .txt file is also saved here.
