Questions for the Studio Cypher PMs

RedHatty@forums.unfiction.com — Fri, 23 Mar 2007 18:53:28 +0000

Hey guys,

Will Emigh from Studio Cyphers (and possibly one of the other PMs) will be appearing on the ARGNetcast we're recording this Sunday. Sorry for the short notice, but if you have questions you'd like us to ask them, please post them in this thread.

Thanks! :)

[HS] End of game e-mail.

Studio Cypher just sent of the end out the game e-mail with the usual survey attached here:
http://www.studiocypher.com/survey/boat

They said that this time around the just had a boatload of technical problems (pun intended) and that they were extremely sorry for the poor quality of the game this time around.

I must agree I was very sorry too. :(

[HS] Blog Updates

AprilAWZ@forums.unfiction.com — Sat, 10 Mar 2007 00:04:19 +0000

Mabel just updated her blog. More info on Scott, but also photos of what I believe to be pages from her father's journal from the early '90s, when he won the mayorship from Baron. On the second page, there were a list of 9 map coordinates.

34 38 N, 120 27 W - Lompoc, CA
43 06 N, 107 32 W - Utica, NY
40 30 N, 107 32 W - Craig, Co
41 05 N, 80 38 W - Kankakee, IL
41 05 N, 80 38 W - Younstown, OH
46 54 N, 98 42 W - Jamestown, ND
34 46 N, 96 40 W - Ada, OK
48 56 N, 57 56 W - Corner Brook, Newfoundland, CA
17 59 N, 76 48 W - Kingstown, Jamaica

I plotted out the coordinates here .

Now, how does this, along with the rest of the journal entry, help us find the chip? Where does "north east" come into play?

Just got this about 10 minutes ago.

All men must show their cards when called
Even kings, even Barons.
But the scales can be tipped.
Will you flip the coin?
Which way will you tip the balance?
Perhaps this will help you decide.

My best shot at translation:

Yo, you gotta give me difficult jobs, mon! Dead easy this one. Proof's in the pudding, check the boat rules closely. Longest word with the cards first letters. Tracks covered in a couple days.

So I went to the boat website and checked out the rules and look what I found in the source.

This site
sword swipe

Anubis
a handgun
what it shoots
a young bull?
"Walking in the Air"
it carries your lunch
battery - Cad
puck slapper

the Warner sister
hydrogen
served at 4:00
cow sound
Chicago railway

Here's what I have so far:

This site----------------www.boattournament.com
sword swipe-----------/ (slash)

Anubis
a handgun--------------Revolver or Pistol
what it shoots----------Bullets
a young bull?
"Walking in the Air"
it carries your lunch
battery - Cad----------Ni
puck slapper-----------Stick

the Warner sister------. (Dot)
hydrogen --------------H
served at 4:00---------Tea
cow sound--------------Moo
Chicago railway--------L

Definitely looking for a website...now to figure out the rest of the clues.

Studio Cypher is starting their 4th episode. Go here to get signed up. You can play without paying, but you don't get access to everything, and you don't get the physical item sent to your house. Anyway, have fun.

[HS] IRC chat

AprilAWZ@forums.unfiction.com — Tue, 20 Feb 2007 18:08:38 +0000

We've hijacked the room from the last SC game for our own use. If you've never used the chat function from unForums, this will show you how ...or else find Abyss, she's a lifesaver...lol!

The room we've been using is #rumi. It's not in the drop down menu, but go into any room and type /join #rumi

Insanitarium (we <3 him!) created a room specifically for SC.... #StudioCypher. Go there. Chat. Solve puzzles.

[HS] Episode 4: High Stakes

ndemeter@forums.unfiction.com — Thu, 01 Feb 2007 22:36:39 +0000

There's a new episode starting soon. I don't know if we should keep using this thread or start a new one. Anyway, let me know if anybody else is going to play along with this one.

[DESCRY] Sorry!

Olly@forums.unfiction.com — Tue, 19 Dec 2006 01:22:29 +0000

Hey guys,

Not that you would of probably noticed, but near the end of this Descry case I pretty much went silent.

Basically it involved some problems at home which resulted in me not having much free time so I couldn't help here.

Sorry again! :( :P

[DESCRY] [UPDATE] Divination Board

Kain211@forums.unfiction.com — Wed, 13 Dec 2006 21:36:14 +0000

Monday afternoon (European time) the site is now accessed by querying with any word.

The new words are "Change" "Sacrifice" Where" "what" "Father" "see" "you" "steal" "who" "mother" "trick".
This is an expanded vocabulary

1.Where+ Mother "Where is the Father?" = Underground. Locked Forever
2.Where + Father "Where is the Mother?" = Underground. A soft pine box.
3.Who + See + You "Who sees you?" = My Brother see me? Can he look past Death's face?
4.Who + Sacrifice "Who was the Sacrifice?" = Edward, poor Edward, who only looks forward, whose world is sunsets and tombstones
5.Who + Father "Who was the Father?" = Missing, presumed dead to the world
6.Who + Mother "Who was the Mother? = Dead at Forty. Hit and Run. Tension High, suddenly snapped. She could take no more, and was walking away.
7.What + Father + Steal "What did the Father Steal?" = The brother looking forward. The brothers' bond. Lives, and lives, for the life for the love of one who no longer loved.
8.What + Mother + Steal "What was stolen from the Mother?" = Life
9. What + Sacrifice + Mother "What was the sacrifice of the Mother?" = A cold vestigial marriage. Oh, oh Edward twisted it with words and lies. Her Life was forfeit instead.
10. What + Sacrifice + Father "What was the sacrifice of the Father?" = Edward, who was made to touch the world beyond.

These are just the ones I had the patience with during the half an hour I had at my disposal and since there are words I didn't even try, the list -I'm guessing - should be double to triple what I'm showing here.

I also have the above answers in the attached .doc so everybody can add to these and we can all work towards having all available data out there for Tuesday.

Good Luck.

Well...they're a little morbid. Wakeful Agents should check their email for a message from Kevin.

[DESCRY] IRC Chat 12/5/06

ALISDAIRPARK@forums.unfiction.com — Wed, 06 Dec 2006 19:58:51 +0000

Okay guys and gals, I was able to attend the 10 AM EST chat with Gabriel. I had planned to make a transcript of some of the stuff...but something really weird happened. The IRC chat thing shut down all by itself, for both me and Gabe, so most of the information was lost. Basically, he mentioned how Eva was missing, and we had to start RUMI anyway. Then he heard a noise and found out it was Raphael. Raphael said the dreams he was having were the past memories of the man that appeared in the first chat in November. Raphael dragged Gabe into a deeper part of the room where Eva was lying. A 'street person' was also there and his name was Tom. Tom explained that the 5th dimensional energy was doing something to Eva...and someone was returning as death to destroy the 5th dimension...I think...that's when the chat shut down.

I've managed to save a pic of the short chat we had when we both logged back on. It doesn't have much info, but it does say what we have to do. We have until 7 EST tonight to free Eva and send the 5th dimensional beings back home.

Gabe, Raphael, and Tom will be there for most of the day if you have any questions, and start working on the RUMI puzzles at http://descry.us/RUMI/. There's four different ones (the one with the bug is pretty cool, but I just keep going back and forth from place to place).

Now I can study for by Biology test...ha ha.
