Legion of the Lost

There was a legend that went around the Minecraft forums back in the day, in 2009. There was this rumor that some kind of, well, company (we don’t know anything about it or what company it is) was hiring professionals directly through Minecraft. As you know, to everyone this was absolute bogus, but one night me and my friends got convinced that this rumor might have been true. But a forum admin told us to “stop commenting and get some sleep”. Anyhow, we were muted till morning, We started having another conversation before too long, but the thread got too long so we decided to continue the conversation my email.
The italic text is a summary of what we talked about in the thread before we started emailing each other
First, we were generally talking about Minecraft and whether or not a company might ACTUALLY hire someone through a GAME. Sure, sometimes I’ve heard of companies (rarely) hiring employees through games, but those were really hard or really weird, linked to an ARG and whatnot. “It’s just… I don’t think it’s that practical to hire actual people WORKING FOR YOU in a game like Minecraft,” I said to my friends. “I’m not saying that Minecraft is easy, but it’s not exactly the hardest game ever.” But soon I thought of other ways of hiring people through this game — like testing their creativity in Creative Mode, or understanding how they think and process… not exactly real-world scenarios, but still scenarios requiring basic or advanced strategizing, like in Bedwars or Skywars. We eventually began looking and researching about these rumors regarding this “organization” hiring people through Minecraft. We studied all the records of this rumor, and got to know this organization was linked with multiple ARG’s. One of the ARG’s it was linked to was Cicada 3301. You heard it right, that ARG which was also about an organization supposedly hiring “extremely intelligent individuals” through an ARG. Now, Cicada 3301 was not just some normal ARG, it was actually requiring people to travel to certain locations and see special numbers which directed them to somewhere else, bla bla bla. The main thing is that Cicada 3301 was literally the world’s biggest ARG. Soon, after looking at some more forum posts, we found out the connection between Cicada 3301 and this organization was a hoax. After that, we started emailing each other.
I will be dividing the list of the set emails to certain parts. Part 1 contains the emails we sent to each other for the first 2 days, Part 2 includes Day 3 and the first half of 4, Part 3 collects the second half of Day 4 and the Final Part collects Days 5, 6, and 7.
NOTE: This creepypasta includes all 3 of my friends, Egermaier, Galahad99, and Zarbiton. My name of GMail is Roxxin4.
The following text is a collection of all the relevant emails we sent to each other.

Subject: New Info about the “Organization”
Hi, it was about time I said this. Remember to show this to Galahad and Zarbiton, they’ll be able get more info than I could’ve. But at least I tried. Anyway, this “organization” is probably really obscure, because I wasn’t able to find any more records of this rumor being spread… at least not in the Minecraft forums. This guy called “Alias_3360” started a conversation on the forums and said that he knew a LOT about this organization and was supposedly really interested in sharing different renditions of the rumor based on different people that he had archived. Alias_3360 claimed to be a bot made by the organization for the sole purpose of inviting people to their “website”. Actually, this organization planned to be this type of mysterious group that the whole playerbase of Minecraft was really interested about discovering, and they started this effort back in 2009. Unfortunately, the thread died a few months after. Another bot, Alias_9420, tried resurrecting it, but soon got detected as a bot by the forum admins. Soon, the forum admins themselves locked the thread (which meant in 2009-language that they took away the privileges of anyone to continue the thread).
