Orbital Colony asteroid just flew by

Rogi Ocnorb@forums.unfiction.com — Wed, 26 Dec 2012 07:33:34 +0000

This was the asteroid we used in Orbital Colony, Toutatis 4179. It looks like Igor Bronco missed his chance to snag it this year. :D

Lisa Anne!

Uncle Seth and Davi were having an argument today! He said Davina was hiding secrets and he didn't trust her anymore! He made Davi cry! I thought he liked her!

Maybe I should go take all the information from the boxes that you and Caspian and Ben found and sent to Uncle Seth and delete it. Maybe he doesn't deserve to be helped if he is going to blame everyone helping him. It just makes me so mad!

What should I do? I am so mad at Uncle Seth!

Your friends, Stevie and Raidar

Stevie is very upset and crying. Seth Adams has accused Davina Bronco of involvement with the Inept . Stevie does not believe this is true. I do not have programming to instruct me on how to help Stevie with this dilemma. How should I proceed? Please take care of Lisa Anne, Stevie values her friendship. <3 R

Any suggestions for Raidar? I am trying to figure out how he can help figure out the davina/cass sister/clone thing.

One last message from Stevie for you all.

[MISSION - sorta] Happy Holidays Stevie

MageSteff@forums.unfiction.com — Sun, 09 Apr 2006 23:27:10 +0000

As I've discussed before, Christmas is, well, almost here. The Holidays are upon us and Stevie still doesnt have her father back. Not seeing a parent during the holidays at any age is tough.. buit at Stevie's age I'd imagine it'll be especially traumatic.

I think every single one of us, regardless of whether we've had contact with Stevie before via email or not, should send Stevie a Christmas ecard.

www.ecards.com is a pretty good site for card and you can pick the day the card is delivered, so I sugegst we have all our cards arrive on Christmas Day (the 25th :-) ) apparently you cant unless you ahve the premium service - I'm stupid - but we can still all send her cards! SEND!. This way Stevie, whenever she checks her email, will be rewarded with an inbox full of Christmas cards from us DawnTreaders (what? The name's way ahead in the votes and the poll closes in like 4 more days). I think it'd be really nice for her.

[SNAILMAIL]ribbon from stevie

Ehsan@forums.unfiction.com — Fri, 10 Feb 2006 09:07:51 +0000

I got my ribbon from Stevie today. The envelope contained a hair clip and a ribbon with a code on it.
I havn't had time to work on the code yet.

DC*JB'14- HG*ED'23 - 22.05.20.05.18.01.14

EDIT: Picture posted. The ribbon is big. I had to cut it up to get a clear photo of the whole code.

PM Forums are open!

The OC PM forums are open!

We're still "sanitizing" threads and moving them into the public forums, so there's only a portion of the information available now. We wanted to open up at least part of the forums and announce it now...before we get archived :P

Request for player feedback from the PMs

Postgame PM Chat

Giskard@forums.unfiction.com — Mon, 30 Jan 2006 23:17:30 +0000

A Postgame PM Chat will be held this Saturday, Jan. 28th @ 7pm EST (GMT -5) in the #inquiringminds channel on ChatSol. Sorry for the delay after endgame, we have PMs literally all over the planet, in no less than 6 timezones :shock: so coordinating is a bit tough.

Since Orbital Colony started out as a training ARG, I would definitely encourage everyone to attend, even if you didn't play the game, and especially if you are an aspiring PuppetMaster. Pretty much everyone on the team started out with little or no PM or BTS experience, and we learned a lot along the way. We would love to share our experiences with you, and answer any questions you might have. /me lights candle and sings hippie songs

See you there! :D

Seth Adams cases

Puck90@forums.unfiction.com — Thu, 26 Jan 2006 05:11:21 +0000

So grumpy and I were in #orbital, when he pointed out that the previous cases in Seth's file were probably references to other ARGs. And sure 'nuff, they seem to be.

If you look at MA51920 (that's Steven's case number), you get (using A=1, B=2, C=3), MA51920 = MA(5)(19)(20) = MAEST = MAE ST[even]. That's Steven Mae. So here's what he and I pieced together:

SP18174: SPRAGue, Dale (from Chasing The Wish)
WO14713 : WONGMo (from Metacortechs)
RE24921: ???? (maybe REXIU or REXIBA)
BL19145: BLAINE, david (from Mysterious Stranger)
TE65785: ???? (maybe TEFEGHE)
OM13208: OMM THx-1138 (from SubCity Central)
SL55169: SLEEPIng princess (from I Love Bees)
ST59149: STEINItz, dagobert (from Sacred Urns)
MA51920: MAE STeven (from OC...duh)

Any ideas on the two mystery ones?

We have one last e-mail from Steven.

I would like to thank you for your interest in Orbicon.

I have a special message for all of you.

The code is

ROT-7 for "u:steven.mae p:FLYHGGH", which you can use at the Orbicon Intranet Page .

[META] For those that missed the end-game

cassandra@forums.unfiction.com — Mon, 23 Jan 2006 18:19:58 +0000

Here's a way to sort of recreate the end moments.

1. Read this e-mail from Seth .

2. You can also read his fake post .
(username: privateblog password: s6g44Bh9dD2)

3. We were then treated to an live audio feed of Seth confronting Cassandra.

4. Seth gets a note from Cassandra.
(username: privateblog password: s6g44Bh9dD2)

5. At this point, a lockdown begins.
(username: privateblog password: s6g44Bh9dD2)

6. Despite this, Raidar breaks through the security layer and we can chat through him with others. During that time, we solve some puzzles under time constraints - with Orbicon security closing in, we figure out the significance of the note from Cassandra, and what to do with the web site we find , eventually leading us to Steven's location.

7. Knowing where Steven is, Raidar records Seth et al's recovery attempt.

8. What happens? You can see here , here , and here .

9. And, in conclusion, we get one last e-mail from Steven.

Thanks to all the PMs!

[Question] Asteroid

ahecht@forums.unfiction.com — Sun, 22 Jan 2006 18:45:23 +0000

I have been reading Steven's notes and the old status reports about robots sent to the asteroid. So the robots did not dismantle the asteroid. What did they do with it ? How's the asteroid linked to the Orbital Colony ?
