Tomorrow is the One Year Failtech Thread Anniversary! \(*O*)/
*so excited*

Perhaps an Afyg remnant stuck here on Earth?

I don't know if it's relevant, but here's a Google cache of itallstarted:

I did a quick search on here and didn't see the name Ajax mentioned at any point...

itallstarted has a clickable Q in the top left corner that leads to a page where you can ask a question.

There is also the following in the source code of the main page:

Got a ping that http://cliffsidelabs.com/ has updated... They have a new pic, and their email contactSPLATcliffsidelabs.com is prominently displayed with the message,

"Are you ready? We're almost there and we're waiting for the green light!"

Also, a hidden message on source has been found saying: WWW ITALLSTARTED -- IT HAS BEEN A YEAR

using obvious clues, it leads to the website: http://itallstarted.com/

and the said site show a brief emergency message that has been cut off... dated on July 6, 2012 which is three days ago...

Meanwhile...

http://noxordosystems.net/ updated with: :: ID 274 SPAWNED PROCESS ID 643

and http://noxordoarchives.org/ updated saying that it is updating....

That's pretty much the new stuff for today... unless I missed something...

**I'm guessing the "it has been a year" message was to note that the arg has been running for 1 year already? haha, but might have a deeper in game connection that needs some exploring

Good job L.M.! Yes, finally some codes to break!

[LatentMoths]

I've been watching this forum forever...finally something to do.

The first block

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

decodes to ALL SET ALL READY AWAITING CONFIRMATION using hex to dec, hex to text, dec to text, base 64 to text.

The second block

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

decodes to ACKNOWLEDGED WAITING FOR PUB using the same method.

Hey everybody! Seems like things are still busy for you all as well. It looks like there has been some new activity lately. I wonder if we are about to start a new adventure.
Speaking of starting a new adventure, on Tuesday, July 10th, it will have been one year since we got that first message that got us involved with our friends from Failtech. I can't believe it has been a year. And I can't believe how much has changed in my life and in the Failtech universe in just one year. What a blast it has been working with all you great people. Hopefully we'll have more puzzles to solve and universes to save down the road.

[Lystella]

I wonder if we'll find out about the Valesco connection to mysterious boy from the future, or if the name is a coincidence.

[zeighy]

http://noxordoarchives.org/ has updated with the message "STANDBY" and a message on the source saying "Archive reactivation imminent"

looks like we'd be hearing from about them soon... also


http://noxordosystems.net/ Updated with

Code:

## VALESCO - Liberty, Valor, Wisdom STANDBY - SYSTEMS OVERRIDE //NOX ORDO SYSTEMS PROCESS ID 274 NOW RUNNING

hidden message on the source says "CONNECTION TO REMOTE CLIENT ESTABLISHED"

Now Valesco comes up! I wonder if James Barron is the Valesco guy? I'll be waiting here for updates...

I'm so tempted to figure out a way that still lets you enjoy Failtech despite this.

Ok, the wiki is made and is at http://failtech-arg.wikia.com/wiki/FAILTECH_ARG_Wiki.

I made a main page, and then pages for Timeline and Characters. If we later deem it necessary/beneficial, we could further divide things up by giving major events and characters their own subpages, leaving links on the main lists.

Sorry for the ridiculous amount of space between items, Wikia's text editor insists on adding that dumb extra space before returns, even in source code mode (it simply ignores single returns there), and bulleted lists have no space between items at all (which makes it very hard to read).

There are no restrictions on it or anything, so feel free to edit or do whatever you think is useful.
