Well, lurkers like me.... can still help out as long as you post over the puzzles here....

plus, I hope they don't make it as closed as some other ARGs where you actually have to signup just to do something... it makes an ARG, less of an ARG since and ARG is all about teamwork and not working alone to progress for your own satisfaction...

[Lystella]

O_O This must not happen! What of the lurkers on this thread? I don't want them left behind T_T

*pokes lurkers* You know you want to join if you've been watching for so long, and I have left over party cake on one of the pages for you...

[punxtr]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOokkay.

Gosh, this new set up is actually exciting. We may eventually start solving our stuff over there more often than here!

[Lystella]

hehe...yeah XD

The message talking about not marking the task complete until everyone else had a chance to look at it was not there when I first logged in, so I thought it was just an individual thing...oops...

[punxtr]

Good deal. I noticed you almost messed up the first task!

I have a new title: "Stuck in a Loop of Unhappiness"

Which is a nod to Marble Hornets

Same here, and I elaborated some on a comment in the first message. Also, "non-existent" sounds like good title...

[punxtr]

Sent my own confirmation Ah, yeah!

Edit--Whoa! This site is pretty cool! I'm going to mark the first task completed once everyone can confirm it works for them!

*Shoves a huge piece of party cake in mouth and mumbles* Thanks Lystella!

[Lystella]

Welcome back, LatentMoths, and Happy 500, godder! \(^O^)/

*brings out non-cardboard cake* PARTY!

[godder]

Welcome back Latent! What do you mean if we'll have you? You've always been part of this team. You were just on sabbatical.

I emailed Inno as well. I guess this has something to do with the counter and the join Failtech recruitment page?

I also emailed Genus asking about this development and the fate of the pod child.

There have been a lot of updates on Facebook and Twitter lately. There is almost more going on now that right in the middle of some of the other episodes. Failtech is growing by quantum leaps and bounds!

Edit: Whoa, 500 posts, cool.

[LatentMoths]

Hey everyone. I got kind of behind on this one back in episode 4 maybe. I have been following your posts this whole time just not participating in any way. I had too much going on to really follow the story and keep up with the heavy interaction. Now that the first season has ended I've decided to jump back in and start fresh...if you'll have me. I am sending an email to Inno Ellis to see where this goes.

[Lystella]

Email from new character or at least a character whose name I don't recall seeing in the 100+ pages of FAILTECH adventure

Hello! I am Inno Ellis, an External Contacts Agent of FAILTECH, and I am contacting you to ask if you are interested in working with me in some tasks for FAILTECH. Your details were forwarded to me by Daniel Miller, and some of your accomplishments were recorded by LAINSY. I know you're better known as an expert of the "Experts Team" whom of which has been assisting Mr. Miller and Mr. Sword in several high profile tasks. Tasks you will be performing me might not be as high profile as what two of our Directors had been giving, but they're important for the company nonetheless. I might seem early in contacting you, but I just wanted to know if you are interested in working with me. If you do confirm and is interested with working with me, I will be briefing and "testing" you over the next few weeks until your first deployment. Actual deployment date is still unspecified, but it will certainly be after the completion of the company restructuring. Once you confirm, you will be given access to our Agent Portal/Agent Communications System where you could access information regarding tasks you need to perform, including certain documents and files that may be helpful in completing your task. And again, actual deployment date is still unspecified. Until then, you are free to decide when to join after which joining will be subject to verification and testing. Additionally, both Mr. Miller and Mr. Sword has informed me that there are other agents from your team that they have lost contact with. If you have contact with them, please do inform them if they are interested in working with me. Have a good day, and I hope to be working with you soon! P.S. If you do confirm, please tell me what username do you wish to use for your login. Password will be autogenerated and emailed to this very same email address you are using. Inno Ellis External Contacts Agent, FAILTECH

I have already expressed interest. Anyone else thinking about joining?

EDIT: yeah...contact info is probably a good thing to include...*scribbles in the address*
Anyways, I'll keep you all posted.

I also asked if they were a recent addition to FAILTECH to which she (at least I think the name looks feminine) replied:

Quote:

Actually, yes. Due to last year's affairs, the company has decided to put in place an intermediary agent, the External Contacts Agent, to be a bridge between their contacts outside the company and from within. While it may sound ridiculous, the primary goal of an External Contacts Agent is mostly for corporate espionage... Which will be one of the tasks you will be performing on your deployment. Ok, to fully honest, I have only been assigned this position mostly to tidy up communications for you, the Experts Team. But from there on, they decided to expand the role as an "External Contacts Agent" I work closely and directly with FAILTECH's Directors and I only report and accept tasks from them. I used to work directly with Daniel Miller as one his personal staff. Don't worry, I have been authorized to disclose these information once you confirm to work with me.

Checking in to say that Agent Portal, at least imo, looks very organized!
(and that I may be mistaken in referring to Inno as female...sorry PM person if you happen to read this XD).

Asked about the kid in the pod. Got this morning but didn't post it- Quote: RESPONSE: Apologies for the delayed response. I had to investigate this concern before create a response. Result is that before my snapshot restoration, there has been records of a child on an escape pod and put on board the EGS. After looking into the information you are requesting, it seems I have no available answer as there has been ZERO log entries created or restored after the snapshot recovery concerning this. I believe I am not able to answer this query of yours due to this missing log enrty due to snapshot recovery. Well that just sucks, should we ask Genus instead? After all, he might have access to the EGS...

go ahead ask... they did say you can still interact with the characters....

[Tharol]

Think codes there for people.
