Session Start: Tue Jun 28 00:00:00 2005 Session Ident: #heist [00:00] if you ever get a chance to hang with her and/or her boyfriend/musician Jamie, do it [00:00] oh crap... I forgot Christian got badly cut by The Slasher last season [00:01] You guys know that Julian McMahon's dad was, at one time, the prime minister of Australia? [00:01] oh really? [00:01] I didn't know that [00:01] yes : ) [00:01] you know who else was on my list for a LONG time... but now I just feel kinda weird about him? [00:01] Kevin Costner [00:01] who? [00:02] ahhh [00:02] he has had some appealing roles [00:02] never met him either [00:02] I mean, I love him... but he also makes me upset [00:02] choosing crappy film roles? [00:02] no, not so much that [00:02] his love life choices [00:03] ahhh [00:03] man has NO taste [00:03] and runs out on his wife and kids with some "Waterworld" bimbo [00:03] I saw Costner. He had a premiere in Sheboygan [00:03] but... "Field of Dreams" and "For Love Of The Game" tug at my heartstrings :-) [00:04] premire for what movie? [00:05] it came out a year or two ago... something to do with the Old West or soemthing [00:06] I didn't even know he was going to be there and I was walking down the street with the stroller and here comes Costner on a stagecoach. [00:06] hahhaha [00:06] oh, it wasn't The Postman, was it? [00:06] Tombstone? [00:06] that's a funny visual [00:07] i kinda liked that one too [00:07] even though it was Waterworld on Land [00:07] * catherwood is too lazy to IMDB [00:07] lol [00:07] i liked him in Tin Cup [00:07] oh yeah [00:07] ah Open Range [00:07] ah [00:07] "Dad... wanna have a catch?"

"oh yeah, you're right, virgil, i'm behing the Uffizzi heist" is a new clip to me [00:18] behind^ , that is, but whose voice is that? [00:18] we've heard it a lot of times ... it is Ian speaking to Virgil, and he is being sarcastic [00:19] some nutjob looped it seven times and voicemailed it to Nisha seven nights in a row [00:19] thanks. I haven't listened to every audio clip in the email directories, so these are new to me [00:19] no problem ... that one's a classic [00:19] in fact, is every audio clip in the flash simply stuff you've all heard before, just processed? [00:20] i haven't heard any sound in there we haven't heard before [00:20] * Quits: varin (~mirc@2310808e.1328406c.in.comcast.net) (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [00:20] and that goes for most of the source imagery too ... there is some new stuff, but a lot of old stuff [00:20] of course the 'annotation' gives it meaning and makes it interesting [00:20] * Joins: v[a]rin (~mirc@2310808e.1328406c.in.comcast.net) [00:21] this drives me nuts, i'm getting new images even now [00:21] i wonder just how many there are [00:21] is it possible to generate something like that on the fly?

[11:23] hoping that spot fills in eventually [11:24] I am pretty well, thank you. [11:24] wow - i'm still seeing stuff in the pics i hadn't noticed [11:24] yes, bald spots on dogs are bad. [11:24] i wanted to bring her to ARGFest, but I don't think that's going to be possible now [11:25] this would have been her second fest [11:25] * celina63 listens to the new recorded call [11:25] geeze, Ian [11:25] * Quits: Hellion (~Hellion@17dc4bf9.17833c43.xlate.ufl.edu) (Quit: Leaving) [11:25] then again, Nisha treats him like a little by [11:25] boy [11:25] who takes care of her when you're away? [11:26] yes, the Nisha/Ian relationship is a rocky one...one-sided if you ask me. [11:26] maybe we can hook HHM and Ian up at the party [11:26] well right now I am watching a maltese while the owners are away in Europe...they will take Honey when they get back so I can go to NYC and points beyond [11:26] Nisha is almost as self-absorbed as Virgil [11:26] ah, that works out nicely [11:26] yes, we trade [11:27] * Quits: cassandra (lurker@22d996b6.3a07d0d4.2e1bf8a9.1faf4a71X) (Quit: http://unfiction.com/chat/) [11:27] bye cassandra [11:27] i will also have a chihuahua over the long weekend [11:27] Dia, awww... no Honey? [11:27] 3 dog night [11:27] HA [11:27] spec: nisha monitors the situation until such time as she needs to barge in and save the day [11:27] ooo, friends for Honey...she must enjoy that [11:28] i doubt it Celina...I won't be going home for about a month once I leave for the Fest, so I'd have to keep honey with me and it's a lot of flying [11:28] j5: agreed [11:28] Dia, do you take her in the cabin with you, when she flies with you [11:28] ? [11:29] otherwise I would definitely. she's welcome at my hotel and I hear the Penn is pet-friendly, too [11:29] yes...never in cargo! [11:29] that's cool :-) [11:29] I always wanted to take my cats flying with me... and then I rememeber how they are in the CAR [11:29] actually, she only flies first class [11:29] lol [11:30] As does Mommy, I assume :-) [11:30] well i can't let her sit up there all by herself! [11:30] giggle [11:31] she came to dinner in Orlando at the Fest [11:31] she went from lap to lap [11:31] lap surfing? [11:32] until Scrappy Do showed up...she was like, "OOOOHH! A life-sized stuffed animal!" [11:32] anyone ever have trouble with the K-lite codec? [11:32] wha? i'm a life sized stuffed animal? [11:32] Lazarus Long has a pic of her hi-5ing Scrappy [11:33] lol [11:34] in other words, she had the proper reaction for a 3 yr old human child.

[11:41] I'm tempted to PM [11:41] but he hasn't responded to other PMs, so... [11:41] he has to think of something [11:41] maybe console :) [11:43] hey, right now, we're trying to find the 4th directory that will lead us to the last piece of that hand written note, right? [11:43] nope [11:43] or do we only have 2 pieces? [11:44] what are we doing, then?

[11:45] yeah [11:45] but more than likely just another error page [11:45] but still... uncompleted [11:45] 3 puzzles left on SD6, look like they should be not too hard ... but yet ... [11:47] we also haven't done anything with those six strings of binary, assuming we are supposed to do something with them [11:47] well, too many for 5-bit innit? [11:47] unless we don't use the last Ian card [11:47] because it's suspect [11:48] yeah, that's totally unresolved and unresolvable [11:49] what was that about taking a piece from each group and rearranging? like taking the first characters from each binary and stringing those together, then the second, then third, etc. [11:49] that was one of the journal solves [11:49] well perhaps it applies here [11:49] you know how these cards like their themes [11:50] yep [11:50] go get 'em j-5 [11:50] can't busy [11:50] +, [11:51] yyou have 3 more days there...afraid to get fired? lmao [11:51] I have to present my systems to the rest of the team [11:51] * varin is now known as v[a]rin [11:51] ah yes, the transfer of knowledge exercise [11:51] and I have some integrity, not much mind you, but some [11:51] barely [11:51] ok, I'm lying [11:52] screw the team! where were they when you needed help before?!

I always think better when drunk :-) [11:54] or perhaps I'm just more intuitive or something [11:54] less inhibited by convention and logic [11:54] that might actually help with these puzzles [11:55] damn your conventional logic [11:55] okay, j-5...just let xnbomb solve it then [11:55] : ) [11:55] will do [11:56] or you.... [11:56] I will keep trying, but I'm afraid I've used all the ideas that make sense to me already [11:56] I don't think my job would be appreciative of me getting wasted at work just to solve puzzles :-) [11:56] maybe not [11:56] it makes for a long day, let me tell you [11:57] now who can help me unsecure this linux box?

[12:13] Jane was here last night, she can't make it [12:13] jane was in here last night, but to answer your question, I dunno [12:13] I've emailed Nisha, volunteering to help in Jane's stead :-) [12:13] if J knows, K does [12:13] and I'm pretty sure Kiyash is going [12:14] no [12:14] no, kiyash can't make it either [12:14] I think she said he isn't [12:14] oh! [12:14] my mistake [12:14] i spoke to Jane last night...she doesn't have time to fly or drive there by tomorrow. She in SF, the mission is in LA [12:14] damn. [12:14] no for J&K unfortunately [12:15] note to Nisha: contact C5 earlier [12:15] anyone heard from CSKane? [12:15] are you in LA, celina?

I was just trying to figure out if I could zip out for argfest and to see a friend, but I don't think it's gonna happen [12:32] awww [12:32] make it happen! [12:32] ditto [12:32] you aren't going? [12:32] Dash better go [12:32] because that was going to be a possible part of my plan, to share with you. [12:33] not that I am now... [12:33] dang it [12:33] I need more vacation days [12:33] sorry to hear ariock [12:33] HHM's email to Nisha posted on LRR [12:33] dash is going, ditto to the awww [12:34] ah [12:34] thanks.

[12:37] I wasn't sure who that was [12:37] HHM has a way of making a name for herself in these games :-) [12:37] "batshit crazy" is the reference I think [12:37] HAHA [12:38] ah [12:38] * Tien_Le thinks of that as an insult to bats [12:39] * Tien_Le is still wildly in love with Batman Begins [12:42] * celina63 still hasn't heard from Nisha regarding her volunteer offer [12:42] not that I'm impatient or anything :-) [12:42] wow, that was critical of HHM, and understandable [12:43] I assume the "other lady" she "worked for" was Melissa/SP [12:43] y [12:43] she's skeptical...can't blame her. [12:44] and not overly impressed with Nisha, I gather...again, can't blame her. [12:44] yeppers [12:44] reply from Kane: he will be there with a guest. He's not too fond of Nisha but will contact her regarding the mission.

[12:46] besides blathering at Gunter? [12:47] I'm jaded...just haven't seen evidence that she is as good at her job as we're meant to believe [12:48] Virgil has more background info as a character than either Nisha or Ian [12:48] at least as presented [12:49] * Joins: catherwork (lurker@1d2128.362b7f89.354f3b3c.1faf4a71X) [12:49] hey Cath [12:49] great work on the images, Cath [12:49] and it's all set up for the Ouroboros ending ... all make believe by Virgil, who has had us playing his game?

[13:28] Rowan, do you have a thumb drive? [13:28] I'm Virgil's glossy fangirl/boy, so I certainly can't. :P [13:29] * Xuratu is now known as Xuralzone [13:29] thumb drive?

[13:31] I was just writing one [13:31] you could install a portable distribution of thunderbird, run it off there, and use it to use gmail at work [13:31] is it his home computer that virgil is worried about [13:31] assuming the wouldn't block gmail's pop3 server... [13:31] anyways, just wondering [13:31] gmail is completely blocked by firewalls [13:32] that's annoying [13:32] yes [13:32] I messaged HHM lol [13:33] and funny too ... "Do not use your corporate email for personal matters, do not access your personal email at work, do not think about personal matters while at work ... " [13:33] She needs to report back to Nisha as she's supposed to be keeping an eye on Ian. [13:33] she already wrote to nisha [13:33] she wrote to Nisha that Ian is at Virgil's? [13:34] you know - had they bought me a ticket out there, i would have gladly watched ian all day [13:34] no - i dont think she has the ability to go look for him right now [13:34] * Joins: missphinx (~lurker@1dad8cc8.1413884c.SPO.Berkeley.EDU) [13:34] hahaha [13:35] well HHM is gonna be in trouble with Nisha unless she reports this!

[13:36] that would explain so much ;-) [13:36] she probably just didnt like the way myke was jerking her around [13:36] so she offed him [13:36] Then she hooked up with emile. He's paying her to stalk. [13:36] then since oak screwed up the whole zombie mime taping she taught him a lesson [13:36] what about gunter? [13:37] geeze, we better stay on her good side [13:37] he needed to be put out of his misery [13:37] Mercy kill.

Will maybe? :) [13:39] or has Nisha figured out that Will is here. [13:39] not yet [13:39] haven't heard back at all [13:40] maybe you should mail ian and offer to help him instead (unless you already have) [13:40] no, I'll wait [13:40] don't want to play TOO many sides against the other :-) [13:41] at least not yet [13:42] or, the online characters hate me :-) [13:42] no response from Scapegoat either [13:42] I don't get responses either.

[13:52] * Parts: Ariock (~AriockWor@16b4fba6.2c546df3.http-tunnel.com) [13:53] there are so many ways you can read all of this - its so great [13:53] And I really doubt Emile thinks that Ian is going to "plant evidence" - he's playing Virgil. [13:53] approximating real life ... causation is an illusion ... a narrative is whatever you choose to construct that helps make sense of it all, but it is no way unique or correct [13:54] Virgil Tatum & Naoko Wu [13:54] 721 Third Street [13:54] Brentwood, CA 94513 [13:54] 925-516-2371 [13:54] Brentwood/Byron [East Contra Costa] [13:54] ya, but is there really a house there [13:54] from the death certificate? [13:54] or the insurance letter [13:54] it was in my notes [13:55] from something in Virgil's stuff [13:55] I wonder about the phone number ... somebody wanna try? [13:55] * Joins: lazarys (~jph@2e60f4af.2b24ce30.autodesk.com) [13:55] * Parts: lazarys (~jph@2e60f4af.2b24ce30.autodesk.com) [13:55] google maps shows it to be in a park [13:56] probably a standard voice mail [13:56] yes, i had that too ex...but wasn't sure if there was a house at the edge of that park [13:56] Busy signal. [13:56] I'll try again in a bit. [13:56] lol [13:57] doesn't he have call waiting? [13:57] lol [13:58] It would be pretty funny if this is the one place that we were supposed to figure out, but we just assumed it was like the rest [13:58] hehe [13:58] Ian and Will are sitting there waiting. [13:58] for someone to show up and give them cookies [13:59] number's busy [14:01] it's weird that Emile tells Virgil he can't go alone...yet he says he already has someone there watching. [14:01] Then he wouldn't be alone [14:01] DIH! [14:02] DOH! [14:02] ? [14:02] He wants Virgil out of the house so he can grab his computer? [14:02] Emile said he's had someone watching Virgil's house for weeks [14:03] Emile doesn't want to grab VIrgil's computer [14:03] I think you are mixed up Sphinx [14:03] :) I know that [14:03] So what does Emile want? [14:03] to get ian out of the way? [14:04] he makes it sound like he want's to help Virgil [14:04] however, if he's behind this, it could be a set-up [14:04] my original point was what emile said to virgil made no sense [14:05] well, hopefully something will happen to someone (other than Ian) and we'll have less suspects ;-) [14:05] unless Emile is CG - and he just told virgil that he's been wathching the house as an excuse [14:05] hahaha [14:05] i really think Ian needs to be the hero here [14:06] not too bright, but heart in the right place ... I can live with that [14:06] if only to give himself a little credibility [14:06] what a tangled web we weave, when we practice to decieve [14:07] well he could certainly use more practice, that's fo sure [14:07] ok, I called the number, and a woman answered [14:07] but I just hung up [14:07] oooh [14:07] you're playing with 'em Lou :-) [14:07] although, (forgive the racial stereotyping) she sounded asian [14:08] hideko! [14:08] Naoko is alive! [14:08] Naoko [14:08] Naoko? [14:08] :) [14:08] xnbomb: playing with who? [14:08] someone needs to call back and ask if its the Tatum residence [14:08] you know ... 'them' [14:08] and then what [14:08] or the Wu residence : ) [14:08] ask when virgil will be home [14:08] get olut...get out now! [14:09] and leave the computer [14:09] hehehe [14:09] I still think Emile wants to get into Virgil's computer :) [14:09] if only to look at his nisha pr0n [14:09] i think Emile wants to get in Virgil's pants [14:09] I mean head [14:09] Maybe it's Scapegoat. He promised us more stuff, but he has to get it off of Virgil's drive first. [14:10] :) [14:10] Google has that number belonging to "Gilberto Nares" in Brentwood [14:10] scapegoat is an asian woman [14:10] Nares? As in "nose"? [14:10] 1914 Little John Way, Brentwood [14:10] so I would think OOG [14:10] geeze, if they used a real number that didn't belong to them ... shame [14:10] do you remember where you found that number? [14:11] all the others have been their own numbers [14:11] not specifically...documents in Virgil's stuff [14:11] you mapped that stuff out, right? [14:12] here http://www.virgilkingofcode.com/naoko/photos/mex_tix.jpg [14:13] hmm [14:13] my/wife of course [14:14] the 721 3rd St is just down the road from where Google says the number belongs [14:14] I didn't see a Gilberto Nares, but Gilbert Nares is a judge in San Diego [14:14] and not *in* a park, but right next to one [14:14] and true... Google's phonebook could be out of date [14:14] google maps are off [14:15] often [14:15] * Diandra wonders if the PMs are saying "whoops" on the phone number right now [14:15] heh [14:15] it was probably just a quick decision back when they were fabricating that plane ticket [14:16] maybe [14:16] 925 is an area code in the SF bay area [14:16] As a matter of fact, it was a clue in that East Bay Express minigame [14:17] if i could call long distance, i'd call and ask if this was the tatum residence [14:17] I have it as being in Alameda and Contra Costa counties [14:18] Yes, exactly. So why would a guy in Brentwood have his phone in Concord? [14:18] i said that originally [14:18] with the info in parens [14:18] [East Contra Costa] [14:19] sorry Dia I missed that [14:19] s'ok [14:19] hmm ... which Brentwood [14:20] oh never mind, it's the east bay brentood [14:20] * missphinx goes duh and drools [14:20] so TatumThink is in the bay area ... [14:20] * xnbomb smacks himself in the head [14:21] then why have a party in santa monica? [14:21] i guess virgil moved [14:21] But Virgil lives in Southern California [14:21] Maybe Naoko moved? [14:21] I dunno, but if we're meant to believe Virgil lives there, he can hardly commute all that far regularly [14:21] well, the tickets are made out in Naoko's name [14:22] maybe she lived up there for a w hile [14:22] but there's the other thing with that address [14:22] that envelope [14:22] and the death certificate [14:22] when they did live together, they lived there [14:23] or ... there is a third street in the other Brentwood ... and someone royally screwed up with the zip code [14:23] maybe that's the old place [14:23] the estate he bought back [14:24] are we going to try the number again? [14:24] it's still odd that they'd choose a live phone number [14:24] i agree [14:24] all the others have been theirs [14:25] ooh - new email; at nishas [14:25] from Virgie [14:25] something about coachella [14:25] * Xuratu GIVES CHASE [14:25] Virgie!! [14:25] its a kt607 [14:25] what the heck? [14:25] i don't get it [14:25] It's the Coachella SD card? [14:25] this is odd to say the least [14:26] how did he get his hands on it? [14:26] unless... [14:26] ian's emailing from inside his house [14:26] don't tell me - more puzzles [14:26] only 3 files [14:26] ktg7 ? [14:26] yep [14:27] are they dupes or new ones? [14:27] the arclight.jpg is protected [14:27] and an arclight picture [14:27] Crap. [14:27] new files [14:27] the ktg looks longer than the others [14:27] yeah [14:27] there's also a locked kgb file [14:27] and are there any puzzles for clues? [14:27] no [14:27] thats it [14:27] 3 files [14:28] * Xuratu goes to work on the binary. [14:28] that's what I though [14:28] * Quits: nawoR (wwwrun@1a9e3c85.31478372.brune.org) (Quit: CGI:IRC) [14:28] good idea Xuratu [14:28] * Joins: nawoR (wwwrun@1a9e3c85.31478372.brune.org) [14:28] * ARGbot sets mode: +o nawoR [14:28] long binary says original baudot [14:29] which is a code [14:29] indeed [14:29] shorter piece is the same length as all the others [14:29] Shorter piece is really wild. [14:30] ¨øªA6 [14:30] The original Baudot code became known as the International Telegraph Code No. 1 [14:30] possibly use it in combination with the old ones, or apply baudot type decoding to it and all the others [14:30] handy that landlord posted the set earlier [14:31] How are these passwords put onto these files? [14:31] HHM just messaged me that she was on her way to Viceroy [14:31] go go hhm [14:31] I told her Ian prolly isn't there right now [14:31] HHM kicks ass. <3 [14:31] what do you mean xuratu? [14:32] arclight.jpg is passworded -- how so? [14:32] What did the PMs use to password it? [14:32] we dont know [14:32] prolly the answer is in the binary files [14:32] Okay, I just called 9255162371 [14:32] did you say anything? [14:32] you mean inside the zip ... like all the others, find a password in some accompanying files [14:33] some little girl answered and I asked "Is Virgil available?" she goes ....who...? I said "I think I have the wrong #" she said "bye" :) [14:33] awww [14:33] D'oh, I should've told you. [14:33] cute ... and shame [14:33] Same thing happened to me. ^ ^;; [14:33] lol [14:33] oh hell. [14:33] :) [14:33] "Is Virgil Tatum there?" "No." "Must have the wrong number." "...oh..." "Well, bye." "Bye." [14:33] little girl? [14:34] Yep. [14:34] Sounded really clueless, really ... tired. [14:34] the PMs should send her a Treo [14:34] I don't see the file with arclight pic [14:34] lol [14:34] Poor little girl. [14:34] inside insurance.zip [14:35] but if this is the coachella card, why is the journal entry numbered 395 [14:35] HHM is confused...she sent me back a "huh?" [14:35] its a perfectly sensible question, and I can't think of a perfectly sensible answer [14:36] HHM is going to be really pissed off at Nisha if Ian was at Virgil's house all along. [14:36] Dia: Explaining about "Virgil"'s e-mail? [14:36] i did [14:36] Thought so. [14:36] Is she far from the hotel? [14:37] http://iannet.lastresortretrieval.com/ian/001439.html [14:37] I think ian got us the card [14:37] he's at virgils [14:37] Man, if I were HHM and there was nothing at the hotel. [14:37] ooo that would be cool [14:38] if Ian is on Virgil's computer [14:38] yes it would [14:38] theres a link in the chat [14:38] but it won't work [14:38] thats not bad ... not at all [14:38] new easter egg [14:39] there's that card swipe Rowan :-) [14:39] yay easter egg [14:39] why didnt i see that the first time [14:39] yep [14:40] oh - cuz i didnt go look at ians side [14:40] enaxor, which chat... the latest between Ian and CG? [14:40] oh, a NEW IRC chat [14:40] !!!!!! [14:41] !!!! [14:41] damn! [14:41] and todays binary reads: @~ [14:41] * missphinx tries not to spoilerize [14:41] damn phone keeps ringing [14:41] Google says: Gilberto Nares, (925) 516-2371, 1914 Little John Way, Brentwood, CA 94513 [14:41] * nawoR goes to watch [14:42] oh man, he's got the new iMac [14:42] well, he would [14:42] G5, wasn't it [14:42] i think i like him in blue [14:42] poor Ian!! [14:42] where the hell is Will? [14:42] Hotel suite. [14:42] oh - maybe is black [14:42] GAH! [14:42] xn, could have been... saw the screen and thought it was the new iMac [14:42] ACK! my sound died! [14:43] well, that certainly clears a couple of things up [14:43] oh there it goes [14:43] I sure hope they have something waiting for HHM at the hotel. [14:43] Oh, no. .my Virgil! [14:43] I'm just thinking about what I'd do in her place :) [14:43] * Xuratu is somewhat heartbroken. [14:44] original baudot was a 5-bit code ... hmm [14:44] Dia, page HHM and tell her what happened [14:44] i'm on the phone with her [14:44] my baby!!! [14:44] what does she need to know [14:44] someone needs to get ahold of nisha [14:44] someone has to tell Nisha about Ian [14:44] * Xuratu will cry over Virgil while nawoR cries over Ian. :( [14:44] Nobody wins! [14:44] Ian was at Virgil's house and was caught [14:44] Ian is indisposed at Virgil's place [14:45] virgil is sooooo lucky i'm not gonna be there tomorrow [14:45] who does Nisha actually accept mail from ... hhm [14:45] however if she's close she should continue on - Will could be there? something could be there? [14:45] remeber roger likes to play with knives [14:45] Nisha *has* accepted e-mail from me. . [14:45] she has to save him! [14:45] xn, you're right... G5 [14:45] Nisha accepts mail from HHM [14:45] well ... go to it Xuratu [14:45] tell her to see if will star is regiestered [14:45] Nisha is due to call HHM in a couple hours...she's not supposed to be at the hotel until after 3pm (pacific) [14:45] Oh. [14:46] But she was going now? [14:46] sigh. [14:48] * Xuratu fired one off to Nisha. [14:49] ok - i updated the forums [14:49] want me to do sa3 as well? [14:49] sure if you're in the mood [14:49] ok [14:50] is there any way to get in touch with Will? [14:50] he's supposed to have Ian's back [14:51] slacker DJ ... probably record shopping [14:51] that's why I thought HHM should see if will is registered at hotel [14:51] He doesn't have his email linked on his forum - and I doubt he's reading pms [14:51] I think HHM needs to wait until she hears from Nisha. [14:51] his email is on his site, but not sure out IG it is [14:51] nice house BTW, Virgil [14:52] yeah, it's pretty sweet [14:52] should have the party THERE, lol [14:52] that way *we* could hack the computer [14:52] haha [14:53] okay...done talking with HHM [14:53] here's the plan [14:53] she's gonna head up toward Santa Monica after lunch to wait for Nisha's call [14:54] that way she'll be in the area if she has to be somewhere immediately [14:54] she will call me when she hears from Nisha [14:54] Sounds good. [14:54] Good! [14:54] so I can let you guys know what's up [14:54] then she'll call me as she can [14:54] I will let her know about anything new [14:54] meanwhile, we should get cracking on that file [14:54] since Ian won't be able too :-( [14:55] we can tell her who Arclight is! [14:55] sounds good [14:55] We should post in the puzzles section on sd3 - was that what you were going to do, Rowan? [14:55] i posted in the main section [14:56] sd3? or sa3? [14:56] i'll also post in puzzles [14:56] sa3 - sorry [14:56] Nice post about the pig, Rowan :) [14:56] heh [14:56] im working on it ... original baudot should be 5-bit, so I'm a little confused [14:59] isn't "@~" an "emoticon" for a rose? [14:59] just struck me like that :-) [14:59] * Joins: strifey (~lurker@540cf85.2d8b4caa.client.dsl.net) [14:59] Yay, Ian got puncheded [15:00] huh? [15:00] oh sorry, wanted to tease nawoR [15:00] * strifey was kicked by nawoR (BASTARD) [15:00] nice [15:00] :) [15:00] whoa :) [15:00] mod power! [15:00] hehehe [15:00] * Joins: strifey (~lurker@540cf85.2d8b4caa.client.dsl.net) [15:00] HAHAHA [15:00] <3 [15:01] * nawoR hands strifey a cookie [15:01] ok, so @~ doesn't open anything [15:01] well, i'm guessing it refers to the fact that ian emailed nisha [15:02] * strifey punches Ian too :-p [15:02] Whens the last party thing [15:02] tomorrow night [15:02] There's some rather confusing information out there about Baudot codes... [15:03] where does it say "original baudot"? [15:03] i'm assuming they are serious about original baudot and not murray [15:03] Rowan, I keep having to delete my posts [15:03] the long binary string in ktg07 [15:03] if you decode the long binary in the ktg text [15:03] lol sowwy! [15:03] oh ok [15:03] lol [15:03] yeah, I would guess, xnbomb [15:03] I don't have a kgb thing so have never seen any of those [15:04] seen any of what? [15:04] ktg is text [15:04] they're not in kgb [15:04] oh wait... the long one says the short one is original baudot [15:04] I gotcha [15:04] kgb's have resulted in pictures [15:04] presumably yes ... I'll try both orders and reversing the bits I suppose ... so far its garbled nonsense [15:06] thats working with a single ktg and taking each 5 bits as a letter [15:06] i suppose i should assume all seven must be used together [15:07] Virgil's so cool in the easter egg. [15:07] i think it would be a safe bet [15:07] virgil is an ass in the easter egg :) [15:07] do you have an automatic decoder thing, xnbomb? [15:07] no, just scratching it out [15:07] it looks like ian has gotten some sun - his face is all red [15:08] Maybe that's his impending dea-- [15:08] maybe I should write one ... this is tedious and error prone [15:08] hey! [15:08] * Xuratu holds up a Virgil mask to defend herself. [15:08] I found a table of the numbers and was hoping you weren't doing it by hand [15:08] I saw a perl script somewhere too [15:09] reading downwards, the first char looks to be a / which is perhaps encouraging [15:09] is this what we should be using? http://home.austin.rr.com/kinghome/signpage/baudot.html [15:09] and you know what - that color just isn't flattering to Trent [15:09] who the hell wears pink anyway? [15:09] pimps [15:10] he's supposed to be a thug, not a pimp [15:10] Prettyboys. [15:10] not sure if that is murray or original ... they are very similar [15:10] And Trent isn't pretty enough for pink. Don't get me wrong, he seems like he'd be a charming young man in the proper setting, but pink just isn't for him. [15:11] I've tried decoding by hand, and I get YOURSTLP [15:12] What are we string to decode? [15:12] which way are you going and which version are you using? [15:12] er, trying? [15:12] I was using this table: http://rabbit.eng.miami.edu/info/baudot.html [15:12] and sadly didn't notice which way I was going :-) I'll redo [15:12] * Joins: lurker (~lurker@2b3a2604.342981b0.oc.cox.net) [15:12] me too ... original at the bottom?

[15:21] on the reverse side sphinx [15:21] xn, a "-" in reverse is 11001, not 10100 [15:22] or, I'm reading this table ALL wrong [15:22] * missphinx nods slowly :) [15:22] thats in figs, not ltrs [15:22] but we haven't recieved a key to flip from letters to numbers [15:22] * Joins: Ariock (~AriockWor@1faf4a71.2c546df3.http-tunnel.com) [15:22] how about this page? http://groups.msn.com/ctoseadogs/baudotcode1.msnw [15:22] the Common has an "End" shift [15:23] * Parts: Ariock (~AriockWor@1faf4a71.2c546df3.http-tunnel.com) [15:24] * Joins: catherwork (lurker@1d2128.362b7f89.354f3b3c.1faf4a71X) [15:24] well, anyhow ... all 32 possible combos are in all sets, since they are numbered 0-31 [15:25] strangeness in #uf [15:25] what kind of strange?

[15:27] yes enaxor [15:27] they think mysteryjones is some character just because he has jones in his name ... *sigh* [15:28] Yes, just like you're a bomb because you have bomb in your name. [15:28] he's been around forever [15:28] and were they on his case for chatting as a character? [15:29] are we placing the ktg codes one op top of the other and reading down? [15:29] and if we do, do we use six or seven of them ... lots of variables [15:29] or are we still guessing [15:29] can't go down because there are more than 5 now, right? [15:29] until we get it produce something other than gibberish, we are guessing [15:30] well, unles you went up to the next line [15:30] unless you wrap around, which I agree would be dumb [15:30] its 7x40? [15:30] yeah [15:30] which code was was the coachella one? [15:30] last [15:30] no, the original coachella [15:30] i guess we're calling it the seventh line [15:30] nisha supposedly 'got' the coachella card from gunter [15:30] * catherwork is just passing thru [15:30] * Parts: catherwork (lurker@1d2128.362b7f89.354f3b3c.1faf4a71X) [15:30] oh boy ... we can swtich some around ... more variables [15:31] Todd's got "retrieved" info on his SD threads [15:32] SD3 was from Washington DC - that's the Gunter one? [15:32] i believe so [15:34] * celina63 's head asplode from baudot [15:34] yeah, I'm thinking of writing software since there are so many ways to try it, and it is so annoying to do by hand [15:35] here's what's confusing me [15:35] Common has an END shift [15:35] Reverse has a LTRS shift [15:35] so cool, in Reverse with numbers until the letters shift, then BZ [15:35] but... the first "number" is (nat), which means depends on the nationality [15:35] ::: head asplode ::: [15:36] Why can't these people use RSA like normal folk [15:36] it really should be 'original, common order' [15:36] they said "original" [15:36] the only question in my mind is if we need to reverse the bits [15:36] but with common, what would we do with the END shift? [15:36] that means the END of the transmission [15:36] hopefully we won't across one if we are reading it correctly [15:37] unless it's two different passwords or something [15:37] +run [15:37] does ktg7 stand on its own, or do we use them all together?

[15:38] nice job nhasarnd [15:39] that last one was what I almost came up with [15:39] but that was using revised [15:39] first one is Illusion [15:40] yay for nick [15:40] but what the hell does it mean? :) [15:40] not cllusion, but yay him [15:40] artifice was a password somewhere? [15:40] one of the Virgil directories [15:40] http://deaddrop.us/wiki/index.php/EvilCube [15:40] gunter:artifice was an error code login [15:40] yeah, that's Murray, Reversed ... dinks! [15:40] from the cube [15:40] lol xnbomb [15:41] dammit [15:41] so it's not original baudot? [15:41] no [15:41] f that s [15:41] well, "yourself" doesn't decode arclight.jpg [15:41] might work on the .kgb [15:41] did the original code work as a pass? [15:41] no [15:41] it was garbage [15:42] the only unopened directory now is /console/, right? [15:42] yes [15:42] yes [15:42] im confused :-/ [15:42] me too [15:42] yourself might work with console [15:42] I don't think these are /console passwords [15:43] none of those work on the kgb [15:43] just something within the last SD batch, then [15:43] * catherwork has no idea what is left to be solved [15:43] nick's wrong about the C too, it is an I at the beginning [15:44] yeah [15:44] cath, /console, and the files we just got from Ian [15:44] (from Virgil's machine) [15:44] "just" got, as in today? [15:44] yeah, like an hour ago [15:44] ooooo, i'm finally caught up! [15:44] first letters IF ART LY...beginning similar to his post above where he decoded previously [15:44] and now i have to go back to work! :( [15:45] I Fart? [15:45] If art [15:45] lol [15:45] did i goof one of the decodes? [15:45] just the first letter [15:45] Illusion [15:46] nice job Nick! [15:46] fixed the post [15:46] yes, YAY! [15:46] but look at your old decode, nick. Starts similarly [15:46] If art [15:47] of course we didn't have the entire thing then [15:47] the i fart decode... but that was 5 bit colums reading down... [15:47] right [15:47] this was just splitting the 40 bit strings l->r every 5 chars. [15:47] interesting, hmmm? [15:47] i guess i could try doing colums too to see if it does something, but it seems that would be quite hard to craft [15:48] nick, same here [15:48] that was before we had the entire message, right? [15:48] right, that was just ktg 1-5 [15:48] it best not be another cube! [15:48] I came close to "yourself" on the last one we just got, but the long string says to use Original [15:48] however, Original doesn't convert to anything [15:49] * Joins: clalonde (lurker@a7e4540.28ba3a9e.1c6ad229.2e099bf0X) [15:49] hey everyone [15:50] i think it was origional baudot rather than any of the later telegraph codes [15:50] The one you decrypted with was the Murray code [15:50] not Baudot [15:51] http://groups.msn.com/ctoseadogs/baudotcode1.msnw [15:51] or call it Revised Baudot if you'd like [15:51] so the question is...how does this help us? [15:51] it matches up with that page [15:52] what are we doing with these words? [15:52] well, water under the bridge [15:52] illusion, fragment, etc. [15:52] reminds me of A.I. :-) [15:52] the seven program words [15:53] yes celina? [15:53] I always thought the files on the SD cards were used to decode the other files on the SD cards [15:53] and never the twain shall meet [15:53] except for the ktg were never used for that [15:53] so now what? [15:53] anybody ? [15:54] well - these ktg things have to be for something [15:54] otherwise - why put the 7th in with the key to decode it [15:54] that's what i mean : ) [15:54] what are we missing? [15:54] we have the 2 files on the new coachella that have *no* puzzles for us [15:54] grrr, something *has* to open that arclight picture [15:54] i assume they open the new files somehow [15:55] none of the words open up the kgb [15:55] i had always assumed that the ktg's would be something together... like the grand "drink your ovaltine" solve... but the answer doesn't seem all that interesting thus far [15:55] I looked for "If art" in the hidden virgil files but ddin't see anything [15:55] they are all 8 letter words [15:55] grid time [15:56] Go Diandra [15:56] * catherwork asks about CyberGosse entering Virgils house??

[15:56] DJH4X: about to go in virgil's de-luxe home [15:56] yeah, i'm still lagging a bit [15:57] maybe i should go read some update threads [15:57] go for the link in the irc file [15:57] theres an easteregg in that chat cath [15:57] answers some question [15:57] poses others [15:57] * catherwork watches the clock run out on lunch break [15:57] ok - we still haven't finished with SD 6 yet, have we? [15:58] maybe there's something in the files we haven't unlocked that will help us [15:58] now, I've been grinding away at the three remaining puzzles, unsuccessfully [15:58] * Joins: dashcat (dashcat@3231975e.1c6ad229.ca.comcast.net) [15:58] hey dash [15:58] Hey Rowan [15:58] as have I - there doesn't seem to be any intstructions on the 3 remaining in SD6 [15:59] Dash! [15:59] Ex! [15:59] clalonde, prsnttn one look like they should be easy ... 12 letter song names, times to select letters ... but ... ? [15:59] 48 elements suggest maybe binary ... for a six char key [15:59] and homework and sciencework should mean something [16:00] the plants in homework ... name lengths or common name something? [16:00] My kremlin free trial has run out and doesn't work anymore [16:00] there are three unlocked files left, so they either each stand on their own, or one yields two passwords [16:00] it probably will still decode dash, mine does [16:01] I tried it and it doesn't [16:01] hmm [16:02] xn - I know I've played with that a lot, I tried rearranging in regards to length of time, tried anagrams, etc. no luck - I also tried numeras math combos w/ the periodic table/melting points one, as well as checking to see whether the elements could be used to spell out any of the words in the plants/presentation files w/o luck [16:02] Rowan, pm me, please [16:03] i tried an even/odd code on atomic numbers for binary [16:03] no dice [16:03] one thing that caught my eye on the plants was that a new user on the A3 forums indicated that the first plant is the only non North American - in their first post - it seemed to scream PM to me, but it didn't help me much [16:04] ooh, interesting [16:04] Yeah. That plant does somewhat stick out. [16:04] however so did calochortus coeruleus - I couldn't find a common name [16:05] xnbomb did you use the melting points for binary?

[16:25] that's ok. I've sent ian like 6 e-mail messages and he hasn't posted any of them... has he read that last one, he might not be in the spot he's in now. [16:25] lol [16:25] I warned him too [16:25] We all did. [16:25] Serves him right if he gets beat up again. [16:26] I'm back to my "maybe they will all die spectacularly and gorily at the end" theory [16:26] you wish :) [16:26] just as long as I don't get any on me [16:26] :-) [16:26] I'll be in my nice work clothes [16:26] Will probably won't die - you can stand behind him. [16:26] how can we possibly tell nisha how we know what happened to Ian and who that email is really from ... we can't [16:27] well, you could send it as an attachment [16:27] and say you found it lying around - the easteregg I mean [16:28] I bet it would go into the blackhole filter though [16:28] yeah, someone videoed the whole thing and we got to watch it [16:28] One could say that Worry sent it. [16:28] I just said that we "have reason to believe". [16:28] heheh [16:28] Oh good, you already took care of it. [16:29] you could say we managed to hack into his video surveillance [16:29] Vague means never have to explaining meta loopholes. [16:29] actually, any of those do fine [16:29] and get a good pic of virgil with trent and roger [16:29] it worked with the goons in the elevator [16:29] I'm not sure if she'd believe us. [16:29] so the Easter Eggs are not to be discussed with characters? [16:29] HHM can tell her on the phone. [16:29] I mean, they know we're in their systems, right? [16:29] i suspect she'll be incommunicado til tomorrow night, saves a lot of troubble [16:29] celina - yes but the easter eggs are for us [16:30] and they present certain problems in terms of the game reality [16:30] since no one is actually following them around in character with a camera [16:30] ok. That's a "rule of play" I missed :-) [16:30] The characters only see what they want to - like sometimes stuff on sa3 is seen, but not usually [16:30] yeah... or if they were, they have some nice camera equipment :-) [16:30] and a crack editing and foley team [16:30] hehe [16:30] and someone who can do music on the fly [16:31] Will Star, DJing in the background [16:31] He was too busy DJing to watch Ian's back. [16:31] HHM said she was going to report to Nisha that the goons got Ian and ask what the plan is. [16:32] geeze, I hope Nisha is ready to hear that if she picks up the phone [16:32] it would be really spectacular if we could crack that arclight pic in time for that [16:32] I should've had will come through Portland on his way to LA, he could've dj'd for the wedding [16:32] oh hey, that's right! How did that go? [16:32] great and glad it's over :) [16:33] well, seeing Virgil with the goons it's pretty obvious he's involved [16:33] :) congrats enaxor [16:33] ty [16:33] well, the other possibility is that Emile sent the goons over to help virgil [16:33] after all he's been watching him [16:33] that was my thought [16:33] yeah, unless there is something very different in arclight.jpg, it doesn't matter much [16:33] yes, congrats from me as well, enaxor [16:33] that's a good possibility [16:33] i don't know what to do with the decoded words. there are seven of them, so it can't be 8 x 8 [16:34] * nawoR looks at the stupid music puzzle [16:34] oh, I see what your saying [16:34] but, since we can't use the EE as proof, that .jpg might provide it [16:34] point [16:34] brilliant really [16:34] i've googles and can't come up with anything [16:34] a puzzle with some actual motivation and consequences [16:35] hehe [16:35] solve the puzzle - save ian [16:35] don't... AND HE DIES HORRIBLY [16:35] yay, choices [16:35] *sob* [16:35] HHM is at 3:00 - so that's about 1 hr 20 minutes [16:35] * missphinx looks at words [16:36] * missphinx looks at everything else sitting here [16:36] Sorry Ian [16:36] * [16:36] hey nick, you know you had the decode all along right? [16:37] yeah, i don't like his odds [16:37] * Diandra slaps j5 around a bit with a large trout [16:37] * celina63 is still a bit annoyed by the "original baudot" [16:37] BECAUSE IT WASN'T [16:37] unless ... it is original baudot in some other direction ... doubtful though [16:37] I tried in both directions [16:37] J5, but i was just so sure that it was going to be in colums because that's the only way we would have to wait until we had all the files before we could find the solve [16:37] If art [16:37] right dia [16:37] second line reading down would be LRR [16:38] we went thru this in your absence j-5 [16:38] celina, so did I [16:38] well, then don't freaking trout me id I wasn't here :P [16:38] if* [16:38] i dunno - the page i found with original baudot seemed to match up [16:38] how do you do the fancy little IRC actions? [16:38] too bad. suck it up [16:38] anyway... :) [16:38] ./me [16:38] that page is not original baudot ... read the middle paragraph [16:39] well, one of those paragraphs anyhow [16:39] apparently people get confused with baudot quite often [16:39] anyone check for directories? [16:39] i did [16:39] none [16:39] ty [16:39] not with those 7 words anyway [16:39] feel free to try combos for console though [16:39] i checked vkoc/ none worked [16:40] ok [16:40] Besides which, Nisha should damn well believe whatever HHM tells her. [16:40] i mean artifice was in the cube and used to access a directory previously [16:41] why does everything come back to the freakin' cube? [16:41] ok and what's up with the snippets of building pictures... Unless one of the unencrypted files has something interesting that was just a bunch of fluff [16:41] it haunts us with its evil [16:41] those building pics bug me too. [16:41] it must be shot into the sun [16:42] * celina63 rigs the launch pad [16:42] * missphinx readies the straps to hold emile and virgil under the rockets [16:42] it seems like there are so many unanswered questions with what 30 hours to go? [16:43] well, they answered the big one ... unless Virgil simply took Emile's word that the goons are just two security guys [16:43] a fun post-game PM chat this will be :-) [16:44] Ignoring stuff like why the building pics were in the files, they could end it pretty easily [16:44] * Quits: strifey (~lurker@540cf85.2d8b4caa.client.dsl.net) (Quit: http://unfiction.com/chat/) [16:44] could the binary from ktg be used as baudot also [16:44] I don't think so.

[16:51] that's it really [16:51] yep [16:51] ok [16:51] got a bunch of consonants [16:52] i've tried it six ways and got gibberish each time [16:52] yup, I also tried playing around with a base5 decode (as I thought that was the theme of the card at first) [16:52] there is also the question of whether or not the filename having the vowels removed from presentation means something [16:52] * Quits: Hellion (~Hellion@17dc4bf9.17833c43.xlate.ufl.edu) (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [16:52] I bet it does [16:52] I had looked at that a bit, the two e's an a i and o are removed [16:53] that's the path I've been trying anyway [16:53] right [16:53] did you try using the times as a 24hr clock? [16:53] no [16:53] they are all sub 12, but that's a good idea ... how? [16:53] i've been doing on a 12 hour clock [16:53] there are 12 chars per line [16:53] I'm just throwing out idea [16:53] s [16:53] hmmmm [16:54] hour hand, second hand [16:54] hmm each letter different position [16:54] ya, but its gibberish [16:54] minute hand* [16:55] how many do we have again? 8? [16:55] depending on whether you take the closest letter for the hour hand, you can get a couple of different ones [16:55] 8 times, 8 song names [16:55] yes [16:55] but nothing i've done makes sense yet [16:56] the minutes are increments of 5 [16:57] ya, the minutes aren't hard to map [16:57] so, 60/5 ==12 [16:57] its the hours around 9:55 and 11:55 [16:57] hmm [16:57] is a :00 the first char? [16:57] I would say, yes [16:57] if i go in order, and use the closest letter thi sis what i get (h:m) - de ae gd on ty tt ik ts [16:57] oh! 0 indexed? [16:58] 12, 2, 3, 2, 1, 4, 12, 2 [16:58] and the second to last time is longer as is the second to last song, on the lists [16:58] or :00 could be last [16:58] whats the 12,2,3... from? [16:58] I think I did that xnbomb [16:59] converting seconds as j5 describes [16:59] minutes [16:59] yes [17:00] I did do that, divided by 5 and used as an index, 00=no letter though [17:00] no, wait [17:00] but if you map it around a clock - something is gonna be at the 00 tho [17:00] yes [17:01] either first char or last i think [17:01] so, wrap each line around [17:01] and pick the hour/minute combo [17:01] based on minutes/5? [17:01] i did tht [17:02] but if its that - i'm doing it wrong [17:02] wait wait wait [17:02] hang on [17:02] fucking phoe [17:02] shit hang on 2 seconds [17:02] lol [17:03] I see Rowan and I see myself (but with less phones) :) [17:04] alright - lemme try something on the zip [17:04] * Quits: xnbomb (~xnbomb@1a8c5c1c.2c4e124f.dsl.mindspring.com) (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [17:04] YES!

[18:37] i don't know...perhaps I still want to work in that town? [18:37] * celina63 wonders... doesn't TTY use baudot? [18:37] * Quits: ARGonaut (ARGNuser@ec7593a.3d6b14e3.231e202b.1599c5X) (Quit: Quitting) [18:37] like, what you connect your phone to? [18:37] yes, baudot is some kind of tty thing [18:37] ham radio too er - I was skimming [18:38] I'm seeing lots of ASCII -> baudot converters and vice versa... but all hardware, no software [18:38] gah [18:38] antique hardware [18:38] * celina63 growls in frustration [18:39] I was looking for a converter too [18:39] ktg07 *has* to open either the journal or the pic [18:39] * Diandra waits for someone to say "When I grow up I want to be a Playboy bunny, so I have to interview one. Can you help?" [18:39] lol [18:39] :D [18:40] why, would you volunteer? :-D [18:40] When I grow up, I want to be a Playboy bunny. My mom says I should talk to one first before doing it though. Can anyone help? [18:40] Sure, let me give you the number for Hef's newest girl, Kendra. She won't mind. [18:40] sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet [18:40] lol [18:41] Wait! I'm a bunny! I can tell you all you need to know! [18:41] hahaha [18:41] oh yey1 [18:41] First you need to grow boobies! [18:41] Is it possible that instead of using the words from the baudot as passwords we use the binary for each word? [18:41] tried that, at least on the arclight file [18:42] you mean, convert the words to ascii binary, and use those? [18:43] can i just buy them instead, sphinx? [18:43] oh, like Alc's solve for messages.zip? [18:45] got to go for a bit. I'll come back when I hear from HHM. [18:45] ok [18:45] something interesting... the journal files have been in order thus far, but we skip from 387 on sd6 to 395 on sd7 [18:46] and it's only a 1kb file [18:46] I was wondering if perhaps the Coachella SD was "out of order" [18:46] it may itself contain a pass or hint or somesuch [18:46] which is why it was (last minute) scripted to fail [18:50] * varin is now known as v[a]rin [18:51] wasn't HHM going to call nisha at 3:00pst? [18:52] yep, and we get our report at 4-ish [18:52] assuming other matters don't interfere ;-) [18:54] so i don't think that we can do anything else with the ktg binary data... it'd be too hard to craft the bits such that they decode baudot and something else. Seems like we need to do something with the words. [18:54] makes sense to me [18:55] free your mind is the phrase that comes to mind [18:55] liberate yourself? [18:56] have they been channeling En Vogue? [18:56] heh [18:56] because perhaps the rest will follow [18:56] you can be color blind. [18:56] don't be so shallow [18:57] works for me [18:57] glad to have helped ;) [18:58] where do you see "free your mind"? [18:58] i don't literally, I am musing in a thematic sense [18:58] ah [18:59] looked for relevant use of "free" in the hidden files but didn't see anything [18:59] if we had another word, it could be another magic (or evil) cube [18:59] all I can think of is "and your ass will follow" [18:59] lol [19:01] arclight is an 8 letter word [19:02] HHM has spoken to Nisha [19:02] and???? [19:02] and?? [19:02] Nisha likes Funyuns [19:02] lol [19:02] she is going to be doing something within the next hour or two [19:02] it's a KLOO [19:02] oh HHM? [19:02] hhm is? or nisha is? [19:02] Nisha told her the less she says about it, the better [19:02] ok [19:02] HHM [19:03] Is she at the hotel now? [19:03] watch hhm has to take on trent and roger [19:03] I believe HHM is in the general vacinity of Santa Monica [19:03] she said when she told Nisha Ian was in trouble, Nisha swore : ) [19:03] sekrit! [19:04] Oh good. Nisha believed her :) [19:04] ooo naughty Nisha [19:04] and that's all I've got [19:04] that bitch keeping secrets from us :) [19:04] Thank you so much, Diandra (and HHM)! [19:04] HHM will call me when she's done with her...mini mission [19:04] shoulda had HHM tell Nisha to answer my bloody email [19:04] lol [19:04] you're welcome [19:05] btw, "original" is 8 letters as well [19:05] i'm going to make dinner.

[19:32] or scientific names [19:32] im working with the raw characters present, so element symbols and latin names [19:32] ah [19:32] i'm going to assume we don't really need to know any science to solve this [19:33] heh [19:33] if we did, it'd be a big departure from previous puzzles [19:33] I should be able to solve it then [19:35] see y'all a little later [19:35] * xnbomb is now known as xnb[o]mb [19:36] * celina63 has been busting her brain against the baudot words [19:37] got the hex and octal values as well, and tried decoding that... nothing [19:42] bye xnbomb [19:44] I wonder if it has anything to do with the _ in the headers in the *work files 19 10 20 [19:44] sigh [19:49] sigh is right [19:56] ok, hometime [19:57] maybe I'll get struck by lightning on the way home, and become a "phenomenon" [19:57] * Quits: celina63 (celina63@8d7465b.1e79b4c9.1413884c.27ad84c0X) (Quit: happy) [19:58] Like John Travolta?

[20:02] no [20:14] wonder what would happen if someone emailed Virgil, just to let him know we know he has Ian [20:14] Not I, says the Virgil-lovin' Xu. [20:15] Ian will be presented at the party all tied up in a red bow for the police [20:15] hehehe [20:15] as long as he's not too badly bruised i'll be happy [20:15] Yay! Ian goes down! Virgil's a hero! [20:16] Virgil wouldn't have much of a case in court. [20:16] * Rowan grrs at Xuratu [20:16] I can't help that Ian's a thief. :P [20:16] and virgil isn't? [20:16] If Ian went to trial, all evidence would point to your beloved. [20:16] Virgil is a self-admitted thief, Xuratu. [20:16] Virgil stole hearts! Ian stole cars and paintings! [20:16] he didnt steal any paintings [20:17] Denial is a river in Egypt, Xuratu. [20:17] and he stole the car from Virgils thugs who stole it first [20:17] Well, we've all stolen something. . [20:17] Let me live in my fantasy world, damned it. . [20:17] heheh [20:17] Virgil is King! [20:17] as long as you dont intrude on mine [20:17] (Until tomorrow night, anyway.) [20:19] heh [20:19] * Xuratu goes back to swimming through the Rumors forums. [20:19] so do we know if Gunter was really dead? [20:19] We don't even know if Myke and Oak were dead. [20:19] or was he playing dead [20:19] right [20:19] Evidence can always be faked :) [20:20] Gunter better be dead. :P [20:20] so while nisha ian and virgil, duke it out, myke, oak and gunter will getaway with the paintinigs [20:20] I hope even if Gunter is dead, he gets to go to the party. [20:21] will star will be the getaway driver [20:21] * j[a]mesi is now known as jamesi [20:21] Will Starr, yes! [20:21] with his song, the getaway blasting on the radio [20:21] They'll drive down to Mexico. [20:22] Or maybe just have a boat waiting at the dock. [20:22] so gunter can cure his cough [20:22] Gunter's good with boats. [20:22] How about - Mexican boat [20:22] we could write the whole ending [20:22] They will end up in South America. [20:22] costa rica [20:22] WILL STAR IS THE HEIST MASTER -- We *all* lose. [20:23] boats name is twinkle twinkle [20:23] excellent [20:23] At the party, Ian escapes his bonds and tackles Virgil while Nisha attempts to find the paintings. When she does, she gives them to Will and tells him to put them in her A3. [20:23] all 26 of them. in the a3 [20:24] a3 is roomy [20:24] . . .I'm joking, you know. [20:24] oh it'll be easy - since they took them out of the boxes and folded them up [20:24] If you're going to stop suspending disbelief, start with how Nisha got my mailing address. :P [20:24] if there frameless, they are prolly rolled [20:24] How did she get your mailing address? Did they ask? [20:25] Yes. [20:25] you mean the disclaimer you signed? [20:25] They were folded, but The Goons decided they needed to be folded to fit in a suitcase. [20:25] leaving a trail of paint flecks behind them [20:25] * Joins: j5 (~R@229ed2b4.2d8b4caa.2wcm.comporium.net) [20:25] ya - thats how they got my addy as well [20:25] is gepsters a word? [20:25] doubtful [20:25] don't think so [20:26] they called to get mine over 2 weeks ago, but I never got anything from Nisha :( [20:26] i tried [20:26] where did you get gepsters? [20:26] maybe it works anyway. that last one had all those passwords that weren't words [20:26] well, it doesnt work on the zip [20:26] i dont have kgb here [20:27] tho i suppose i could download it [20:27] Well, nobody ever contacted me, but since I forcefed my address on them... :) [20:27] lol [20:27] did you get a pin? [20:27] Oh no. I don't expect one either, which is fine. [20:27] I have enough pins :) [20:27] heh [20:28] how was beer, j5?

[20:36] maybe she's drinking at the hotel bar :) [20:36] hhm is on a3 [20:36] maybe she's been kidnapped as well [20:37] any updates? [20:37] no. She was supposed to call Diandra when she could. [20:37] not yet [20:38] maybe she saw Virgil and lost it :) [20:38] lol [20:40] ah! she's logged in to sa3 [20:40] unless Virgil is torturing her making her post! [20:40] she may have left it up [20:41] no, last click was like 11 minutes ago [20:41] * enaxor slaps missphinx around a bit with a large trout [20:41] trout? moi?

[20:44] it's the first plant [20:45] could it yield anything useful?

[21:25] http://dlp.cs.berkeley.edu/photos/ [21:25] this site lets you put in the scientific name and see photos [21:27] is that the one that cather had earlier? I didn't play around enough with it.

[21:32] dunno [21:32] there's an 8 theme running through sd 7 [21:32] each of the ktg files net an 8 letter word [21:33] and it seems there are 8 missing journals [21:33] with the first as african and the rest american, african-american?

[21:39] I put both spellings in and got different pictures, but of the same flowers [21:40] Maybe it's the latin - different people use different variation [21:40] "what you talking about" :) [21:40] that makes sense [21:40] * v[a]rin is now known as varin [21:40] and plants have different common names pretty frequently I think [21:46] Nothing from HHM?

[22:17] hooboy [22:17] don't think about it, j5 [22:17] girls are worse [22:17] they're better liars [22:17] yeah, I can imagine [22:18] I was just thinking that [22:18] bah. now I have to remember how to feed 11x14 paper into the damn printer [22:19] or whatever size this freaking never mind [22:19] open the tray [22:19] 8.5x14 [22:19] I don't think it fits in this particular set of trays [22:19] * Joins: Lou (~rhody1380@12daef3.a9a2d23.ri.cox.net) [22:21] evening lou [22:21] hi [22:22] yay it worked :) [22:22] ? [22:22] oh [22:23] there was one program I had insisted on printing legal size sideways [22:23] not this one :) [22:23] * xnb[o]mb is now known as xnbomb [22:25] that one plant is hard to find [22:25] calochortus coeruleus [22:25] you know, it does say Date: __________ up at the tops instead of Name: __________, that's kinda weird [22:25] it says student [22:25] but yes [22:26] 19 10 20 [22:26] turn off word-wrap and use courier for more fun [22:26] oh frig [22:26] thank you J5 [22:27] see something? [22:27] yeah, the rest of the headers that were invisible in notepad ;-) [22:27] :) [22:27] :) [22:29] I wonder if HHM is waiting for us to solve before posting [22:29] 56 spaces between homework and teacher. Plus all those extra tabs (but they seem to do that a lot) [22:29] or updating :) [22:29] it's like they used word, then saved as .txt [22:29] i do like Celina's line of thinking ... Nisha needs evidence [22:29] yeah, I think so. [22:30] the evidence is in SD 7 [22:30] about word. and Nisha [22:30] ah, ok [22:30] so should we be concentrating on that? [22:30] it may be time sensitive, so possibly [22:30] I would if I were able to concentrate on anything. SD 6 is probably just more instructions or whatever for shipping. [22:30] I would think we don't have enough to go on [22:31] yes sphinx, I agree [22:31] well, the zip contains shipping documents [22:31] or manifests [22:31] and the kgb ... ? [22:32] (referring to SD6) [22:32] arclight.jpg in insurance.zip on SD 7 should really be something juicy [22:33] we still have a kgb on 6?

[22:38] heh [22:38] oh yes. [22:38] but we decided not to share [22:38] * missphinx looks at the monkeys flying out of her rear [22:39] heh [22:39] OH FINE [22:39] lol [22:39] hmm, I think I'll play a what if game with Baudot [22:40] no word from HHM either celina [22:40] * Rowan has totally run out of ideas [22:40] we figure she's being victualized by the hotel [22:40] still no word from scape, that lyin' jerk [22:40] mmm victualization [22:40] Scape's probably dead by now [22:40] what if the real message is in original baudot and needs to be ROTed or something [22:40] lol [22:40] * Hellion waits for an email from worry [22:41] xn, I was thinking that [22:41] and trying to do stuff with it [22:41] i am mindful of a serious violation of the 'simplest explanation', but what the heck [22:41] I tried ROTing the baudot words [22:42] but of course it's highly unlikely that a word will ROT to another one [22:42] especially a whole set of them. [22:42] (like I know) [22:42] it'd be very tricky, but think of baudot <-> murray as having a simple sub relationship [22:42] * Rowan idly wonders if anyone has just tried to crack any of these [22:42] then pick very carefully [22:42] I also got the hex/octal/decimal values of the YOURSELF baudot word [22:42] but couldn't do anything with them either [22:43] have fun all [22:43] * Parts: enaxor (enaxor@1e6a17d0.22cbf9e3.or.comcast.net) [22:43] xn, when I was doing the original translation, I was using the original baudot, and it was gibberish [22:43] right, then ROT the gibberish [22:43] not just mixed up letters, but control characters too [22:43] can't ROT control characters :-) [22:43] hmm, yes there were some of those [22:44] I even tried Base 64 on the binary translations :-) [22:44] well, you could, but it'd be a different ROT ... call it baudot-shift [22:44] * missphinx tries typing "virgil" and "console" as the password with no luck [22:45] so I'm out of ideas with those :-( [22:45] mind you, paraphrasing something a wise man told me "never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity" [22:45] I heard that before :) [22:46] heh [22:46] works for me [22:46] are the current puzzles on the forum? [22:46] so, do I a) believe that 'original baudot' was a mistake and leave it alone or b) hammer away at using the original baudot code wildly [22:46] the solves addy?

[22:52] or whatever you call it [22:53] it might [22:53] depends what kind of password it is ... if it is an 8-letter word, maybe [22:53] if is not an 8-letter word, how are we going to know if we ever find it [22:53] yes. [22:56] Well, if HHM won't be freed until we solve this, then at least she's in a nice hotel for the night. [22:56] Or Virgil's swank residence. Tied up. Crying. [22:57] heh, sequestered in a high end hotel, waiting for a solve that may not come [22:57] whoa...HHM is captured? [22:57] like kept hostage? [22:57] whoa, whoa ... just talking ideas here [22:57] She was supposed to report back. And that was 3 hours ago. [22:57] :) [22:57] gah [22:58] Spec is she's being treated to dinner :) [22:58] She probably got sidetracked by my Virgil's sheer brilliance. :) [22:58] maybe she and ian ran away to vegas to get hitched [22:58] what was her mission? [22:58] Or Will. [22:58] sekrit! [22:58] She couldn't tell us. [22:58] Lou, dunno [22:58] ah [22:58] the bitch wouldnt tell us ;) [22:58] First she won't tell us, THEN she marries Ian. [22:58] (and when i say bitch - i say it in the most loving of ways_ [22:58] I thought it was "keep an eye on Ian" [22:59] yeah, that probably had to change a lot [22:59] Yeah but she couldn't tell us how - it was like "the less you say the better" [22:59] well, considering ian is probably tied up in a trunk - hard to keep an eye on him [22:59] huh [22:59] well...all our questions will be answered tomorrow [22:59] maybe ;) [22:59] They better. :P [22:59] I can't wait for the PM chat!

[23:49] couldn't get sharks, so had to make due with seabass [23:50] "Arclight (Phillipa Sontag), a super-strong mutant who is always spoiling for a fight; she specializes in shockwave attacks. She served with the American ground forces in 'Nam, and is still haunted by memories of that place."1 [23:50] * Xuratu worries. (HAW!)

[23:57] Matt, she can't make it [23:57] too bad [23:57] maybe they didn't take hhms treo away ... will it work inside a trunk :-) [23:57] I've emailed Nisha, volunteering to help out in Jane's place... but no response [23:58] Rowan: Because Virgil had brains enough to do something about it *before* Ian completed the Heist. [23:58] The reason for the "moral compass" quotation is just that -- Ian was *quoting* Virgil! [23:59] heh [23:59] And how about the Florence slip? [23:59] what florence slip? [23:59] wow, Xu... what color is the sun on your planet? :-) [23:59] and the $1.3 million in up front money? [23:59] the stupid lease [23:59] The lease.
