Erm, may I ask what your motivation is for going rogue? Sorry, I'm just that kind of logical, systematic person that needs a reason for everything.

Well, anonymous is anonymous... while the lulz guys are different... obiously anonymous is much more well composed than the lulz guys...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

(yes, I sent both of those E-mails. I thought 'going rogue' would spice the ARG up a little)

Aha! So you got how it works! That might get useful later on. Conratulations! That was very well done, and in a very quick time! I didn't think you'd understand it that fast. I think I'm almost done acquiring the command. I'll just have to confirm it first. So just standby.

Edit--The command! I already sent it.

Ok, I have to command. Not very sure if it will work, but my source says it should.

Edit--Whoa, what?

[duke9509]

What exactly do you mean by "numbers in reverse order from ours?" I've been trying to figure it out, but I can't.

Also, email from Marie:

Quote:

Sorry, I just got your message. I just got back to work after the long weekend. Seems like you guys already found where Daniel is, and apparently he is not in a very good shape. Well, at least we already found where he is. Anyways, I don't know about secure connections and such and what you guys are talking about. My only concern was about Daniel's safety. Now that he's found, maybe I'll just keep it that way. I don't want to get too much involved in the troubles you guys are involved in. Just update me when Daniel gets better or worse. Thanks again for the help! I am now much more assured that I know he's "ok".

I bet she was going to play a bigger role in the original, no-injury-to-Miller storyline.

EDIT: Also, I was confused by the Aperture tweets, so, now that the OOG team has gone right out and said that we can talk to them, I went ahead and sent:

Quote:

Ok, you guys are starting to confuse me, so I'll just go ahead and ask and see what you say. The FAILTECH Twitter account started referencing Aperture Laboratories (and HAL 9000???), but it was not made entirely clear as to whether this was meant to imply that Aperture (and HAL?) existed in the same universe as your ARG, or if FAILTECH was just acknowledging these as fictional entities. Could you perhaps clarify? Thanks!

And got:

Quote:

Sorry if it confused you guys. Mostly they are just for fun and not really meant to be a part of the game. Let's say it's mostly the latter one where we acknowledge them as fictional characters where we mostly inspire our work from. *hint hint*

So it was not world expansion.

[godder]

I'm glad I F5'd it. I was about to send pretty much the same statement to him if no one else had.

[punxtr]

Quote:

Well, it's math. One page deals with simple math problems, albeit with a different base system. It uses base seven instead of ten, and the digits are written in reverse order. There are four operators used: multiplication, division, addition, subtraction. The second page is a more complex equation, which seems to account for a variable, A, that one would solve for. I have solved for it, but the significance of the number means nothing to me in either base ten or seven.

Awaiting...

[godder]

So has anyone sent Genus anything yet? He said to check back with him when we got it figured out.

[SolarMarr]

He... Definitely seems nicer, I'll say that. He didn't say a single thing negative about us, which seems a bit out of character for him. XD

And yay, wiki! I was just thinking last night how helpful one would be. If I don't get caught up in a million things today, I'll start going through this thread and putting up as much as I can.

This slight anemia is definitely causing some slight changes in my attitude. I don't know if that's good or not. But my loyal team says I've quite changed a bit in how I handle things, and none of them can tell if it's good or not.

I wonder what that means.

Email from Alex

Just dropping an email to check up on you guys. I haven't heard anything form you guys for a while so I got a bit worried. Has Orein contacted you already? Or has he not? Anyways, I'm recovering fine from slight anemia, since I lost much blood. Don't worry, I'm fine. So does Miller. And no, I'm not lying about that. He hasn't awakened, yet, but I do hope he soon does. Or else I'll get screwed for this. This slight anemia is definitely causing some slight changes in my attitude. I don't know if that's good or not. But my loyal team says I've quite changed a bit in how I handle things, and none of them can tell if it's good or not. Anyways, we're still here. And hope to hear from you about anything that's happening. Because from here, there's definitely nothing worth telling.

[godder]

Maybe we should send him something back that lets him know that we understand it. Like maybe our own little equation for him to solve. Something recognizable though, like the speed of light or something.

I have something up my site. CHeck it out and try to figure it out. Yes, I already know what it is. I want to see if you can understand what it is. And yes, I did make that myself. Check back when you have figured it out. Oh, and inform your friends about it, too. I don't have contact with them so just go ahead and share it with them. Let's just say this one's a challenge from me.

Ok, from that it sounds like he purposefully sent us a false equation since he keeps saying that he already knows what it is. I don't want to sound like a goober if that isn't the case though.

[zeighy]

lol, he said he only wanted to see if you/we can understand it... I don't think he really meant for us to solve it... worth the try... I guess?
