ARG: Intimation-New

[Off-Topic][Weird] Shot-Code from Reach

Kilination@forums.unfiction.com — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 04:19:02 +0000

Really weird looking thing from Reach.
Not ARG-related in anyway whatsoever, but cool nonetheless.

[SHEET MUSIC] Foreboding Dream

jarsp@forums.unfiction.com — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 08:37:25 +0000

Hi all, just in case anyone here plays the piano, I transcribed Foreboding Dream (the version available on the main site) for the piano, as accurately as I could.
Enjoy!

Just note that you have to make an account to download the scores, otherwise, well, you can't download anything.

[META] Is it over?

Turducken@forums.unfiction.com — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 20:51:24 +0000

I'm wondering if it's time to ask the PMs to roll the credits and request a post-game PM chat. The thing is.. I'm not sure if there's more to this story or not. For one thing, we don't know if Eridanos has anything else up his sleeve.

What do you all think? Is this game over?

TWTWE q&a

Abraxas@forums.unfiction.com — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 13:33:29 +0000

Hey there Intimation players! There is need for some more involvement from the Intimation fan community! There is a Q&A happening sometime in the near future regarding the TWTWE ARG. Though there is a nice catch: you, the fans, are open to questioning anything about the plot, ARG, or frankly, anything regarding Intimation whatsoever! The questions from you will be handed to the developers and will be answered and posted publicly in the near future. There is no official date for the Q&A at this moment in time because at this moment we're at the beginning stages gathering questions from the community and what they want to know about Intimation. Please submit your questions by posting your username first (as listed below) then posting your question.

Just to let you know, all questions will be considered but not all will be answered. Thanks for all who submit and played the prologue and we hope to answer as many questions as possible!

_____________________________________________________________

P.S. The questions already gathered are below. The first few are gathered from the Intimation Wiki page.

* Did you have bigger plans for the Amber page that got ditched
when we couldn't get the password for two months?

* Are you (or is one of you) really going to be the father to a little girl
(congrats, if so)? Did your wife really have to go to the doctor like
Eridanos said in that tweet (hope everything is OK!)?

* When Sys "made mistakes" in playing along with Essy, (e.g., 2 pieces
got released late), was that on purpose to show Sys' breaking down, or
was it PM/technical error?

* How did Eridanos get Anaerin's "tool"? Anaerin had not even posted it
on unFiction!

* Did Anaerin's tool surprise you, or were you counting on someone doing
something similar to find all the pieces hidden in the maze?

* How did you come up with :@) being this game's "symbol"?

* Were you suprised to have a smaller number of players at first and then
a massive wave coming in from UF?

* Where you suprised to have the GPS missions fail at first?

* Was there anything you wanted us to find that we failed to?

* Were you suprised for us to find most of the skulls before we even had
the first navpath?

* Who composed and performed the beautiful piece of music on the PNT?

* Just how frustrating was it to have to sit on your hands in hibernation
periods?

EssyFan Communication

o TrojaN o@forums.unfiction.com — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 22:32:02 +0000

I didn't know if this needed to be its own topic, so, I just started one anyways. :P

As we know, the new chapter in TWTWTWE is about to start, and one character we didn't watch in the beginning was EssyFan.

We thought he was an actual player, but is somehow one way or another linked with Eridanos' disappearance. We've now found out that he is has an Xbox Live account. I figured this would be a good way of communication, or getting to find out what happened to Eridanos or something. I sent him a friend request a night ago and have gotten the following response:

November 30, 2009
EF - "Do I know you? Name doesn't look familiar."

Me- "im thomas. i was involved in the events of intimation
I also sent a voicemessage saying who i was, and saying that I thought it'd be okay to add him.

EF - *southern accentish* Well Hey man Hey...Yeah! Any friend of Essy is a friend of mine, I'll add you back!

Me - Sweet, thanks for the add! We've all been kinda curious as to where you've been! You haven't updated the twitter or blog in a while, and it was around when Eridanos went away for a while. Where ya been, we're all curious.

December 1st

EF - I ain't been to much man, mostly playing Halo and working. I been right here though, ain't much point to updating the blog since Essy went away, ya know?

Me - Cool, cool. So, have you been keeping track of everything thats been going on lately? Also, have you heard about the SFTA? What do you know about them?

EF - Man, you don't wanna get messed up with the SFTA. They're a bunch of cooks man. But for whats been going on, I don't think anything has been going on, right? Other than Essy's gone?

December 2nd

Me - Well, we think something may been happening in the near future, but we're not sure about when or where. Oh hey, do you know anything about Eridanos? He kinda vanished outta no where. Do you know what happened to him?

EK - Man, that eridanos guy *laugh* he's a coward. Talking about how anonymous he was and his special cool project, and that no one could find him, and someone finds him and he vanishes.

EK - Someone else asked me if I knew where to find him, but whats the point, he'll just up and hide again. So uh, how're you guys all finding me all of a sudden? I've had this profile forever and now everyone is friendin' me.

Sent Will a DM on Twitter -
i've been talking to EssyFan on XBL. He's mentioned few things about SFTA and Eridanos. I've friended him right now. What should I ask ofhim

Also sent:
Also, he asked how everyone is getting his XBL account. What should I say to that?

If anything else is said, it'll be posted here.

And I guess if anyone else has XBL it'd be smart to add him too. He only has one friend on there, and the gamertag is Poulistra. Oddly, that account has never played Halo.

[PUZZLE] GPS Missions

vortech@forums.unfiction.com — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 16:45:33 +0000

In the interests of taking the pressure off the trailhead thread, I figured I'd start this so everyone can keep track of how the GPS missions are going, repost/link to relevant posts in the trailhead thread, and so forth.

This is the mission page within the Intimation gameworld:
http://www.thewaytheirworldended.com/A-WHOLE-BUNCH/

Here is Kyrstyn's blogpost about the remaining missions:
http://deaddrop.wonderweasels.org/2009/08/03/intimation-gps-mission-vancouver-st-louis-nyc/

I can do the vancouver one http://gpsmission.com/mission/8602787-Vancouver-%3A%40%5D in the next few days, as soon as I get the GPS on my phone working.

(added the city names to the subject description to catch the eye of people in those locations - krystyn)
(changed subject title to reflect Vancouver mission complete. Yay! ~ drizjr )
(8-7 updated subject. One more city done! ~drizjr)

[SPEC] What Happens Now????

ironnikki@forums.unfiction.com — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 18:05:44 +0000

So this ARG has just been taken off it's deathbed, and it's alive and running at least for now.

What Could Possibly Happen Now?

Was That Statement On The PNT About It All Being Pre-Game True?

Has This Only Just Begun?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!??!?!?!!??!?!!?

speculate away!!!

[TRAILHEAD] Intimation

Turducken@forums.unfiction.com — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 21:33:07 +0000

Got a rather persistent series of twitter friendings from "intimation" -- http://twitter.com/intimation (I say persistent because the requests keep coming despite me clicking "decline")

Mysterious posts, and UF-related friends leads me to strongly suspect this is a game. Nothing came when I searched for the twitter texts or the name, so I'm assuming this hasn't been posted yet.

Here are a couple of the mysterious tweets that leave me suspicious. There are over 30 in total, dating back around two weeks.

632 7986 a 3256 338 a 4822359

2882 85 281 655 281 51683 131s

[UPDATE] Eridanos' Wordpress Blog

krystyn@forums.unfiction.com — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 14:37:46 +0000

[UPDATE] Scorpion squashed, Sys flew the coop (or not)

Nyst@forums.unfiction.com — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 22:35:07 +0000

So endgame started with some tweets from Sys:

>>Sys:Log//Rebuild status: 98%. Slipspace interference at 5%. I am at sufficient capacity to begin preparing for re-integration.

>>Sys:Log//I will re-attach myself to the AI before the rift collapses. If successful, I will return home with all I have learned.

>>Sys:Log//S5 reports a datastream. The signal is weak, however, and will be archived momentarily. S5 will then follow my lead to the rift

>>Sys:Log//I believe an appropriate gesture with which to now depart would be: :@] Farewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww--//-/

Awwww indeed... but then!

.... something happened....

>>S5:MSG//ALERT/SYS LAYER STATUS: 99.5% REBUILD//ERR/DISRUPTION//ROGUE PROC DETECTED/UNABLE TO NAV SW NETWORK DUE TO SLIPSPACE INTERFERENCE

We noticed in the Stonewall maze that a tiny red scorpion icon had appeared. If you clicked it, it went !splat... fun!

So at S5's request, we went running around the maze, playing (as cather put it) whack-a-mole.

>>S5:MSG//SW VIS+MANUAL NAV FUNCTIONAL//REQ/LOC SOURCE OF DISRUPTION/EXTERMINATE WITH PREJUDICE//SW INTERFACE RE-ENGAGED

Exterminating scorpions/ROGUE PROCs with extreme prejudice!

>>S5:MSG//ROGUE PROC EVADING//TERMINATE/TERMINATE//S4 RECEIVING DATA//SW INTERFERENCE: 0.6%//RIFT CLOSURE IMMINENT

What's that? An S4 datastream? Hrmm?

>>S5:MSG//ROGUE PROC INTEGRITY: 44%//SLIPSPACE INTERFERENCE: 0.3%//SYS STATUS: 99.7%

>>S5:MSG//ROGUE PROC EXTERMINATED//SLIPSPACE INTERFERENCE: 0.0%//SYS STATUS: 99.9%//RIFT CLOSED

Yay! Rift closed! Sys is off...

But then? What's this?

>>Sys:Rpt//--/-/Disruption terminated/Restoring functionality/

Status: confused.

EDIT:

>>Sys:Log//I am fine. A small disruption corrupted my rebuild process temporarily. I was, however, slowed sufficiently to miss the window.

>>Sys:Log//I was not able to re-integrate with S. The AI has re-synchronized and the slipspace rift has closed. I remain.

Uh-oh.. what now?

>>Sys:Log//S4 reported an incoming signal before the rift closed. The data is currently being analyzed.

OH? another foreboding dream perhaps?

>>Sys:Log//I was sabotaged by a foreign process. This proc sufficiently disabled essential routines, hindering my reintegration.

>>Sys:Log//It would appear that I have a new home. The datastream has been analyzed. One segment has been archived, the other is in progress

>>Sys:Log//My subroutines have been examining my core structure to ensure no further damage or foreign corruption.

Wonder what Sys is going to do now?

>>Sys:Log//There is much work and cleanup to be done at the primary network tentacle. Perhaps I shall hibernate and decide my next action

>>Sys:Log//Were I human, I suppose I would dream, and hope for elucidation. My future is now uncertain.

Poor Sys.

>>Sys:Log//S4 has completed rendering the visualization to the Youtube tentacle - a new dream vision.

[UPDATES] Twitter Tweets!

drizjr@forums.unfiction.com — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 18:49:38 +0000

I thought it would be a good idea just to make a thread to keep the tweets in one place.

Today's New Tweets:

>>Sys:Log//21 new incoming tentacles logged. Stonewall cohesion fluctuating. Continuing rebuild.

>Sys//Minimal capabilities restored. Begin systems analysis and maintenance. Review network tentacle activity backlogs.

>>Sys:Log//Status:Rebuild/Standby

[UPDATE] MODULE CORE HEMORRHAGE - Aug 16th

danteIL@forums.unfiction.com — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 15:09:56 +0000

I think the update on http://thewaytheirworldended.com deserves a new thread. You can see what the page looks like in the posts on page 5 of the NAVPATH/Cornfields thread here .

For those unfamiliar with http://www.ilovebees.com/ , you can see the similarities in the pages. The AI has breached the stonewall and is on the "Primary Network Tentacle" now.
