Fourth Layer Added

I added S.P.I.'s layer to the image. It still looks like a building to me.

It looks like several buildings to me with a road running around them.

Email sent. I saw this link in discussion section of their YouTube channel. Didn't see it mentioned yet so thought I post it for posterity.

Looks like a countdown to a date last month. It coincided with the upload date of the second video.

And that gives us six layers. Complete?

Love how they included the comments from the first mission video into the latest mission video.

Just to be clear, are they currently inside Wyn's apartment? I imagine this map is to be used to guide them out of the building somehow and out onto the streets? So should we start leaving comments or something?

I am trying to figure out how to play, he he. Dunce

Yeah, I think that's Wyn's apartment. He mentioned that it was his Buster sword hanging on the wall. You can either leave video comments or email. Not sure about twitter. It seems the goal is to get them to the terminal with the two gaurds.

ZOMG so that WAS you! I sent them this message:

Quote:
To Wyn and that other guy,

Go down the stairs. Head for the courtyard below. Keep going, no matter what you see (UNLESS you see a bath ducky; PICK THAT THING UP). It will be useful later.


and Mark replied with this amusing entry:

Quote:
I will take it on faith that you are both a tactical genius and possess extreme foresight. Should your bath ducky master plan come to fruition I am sure it may save us all.

Therefore your advice has been noted, many thanks.


It sounds like my comment might appear in the next video!! AND WITH A BATH DUCKY! Naturally, I responded in a calm, collected manner:

Quote:
You're welcome!

You know, some people gotz it, and some people got it, but mostly I got gotz it! Holler!

. . . I'll let you know if the bubbles in my bubble bath say anything else of note.

~S.P.I.~


Laughing Quirky = Win!

I sent them this mail:

Quote:
Go to the slums, there has to be somewhere to lay low there... p.s size does not matter.


in relation to the penis jokes.

they replied with:

Quote:
Your advice has been noted... and thank you for clearing up that matter of pressing importance.

Just got another email from them titled "3/3"

Quote:
wE are the resistaNCe
they will not hear us
they will nOt see uS
However they will fear us

0100100101001001001000000100100100100000010010010100100101001001


The capitol letters spell ENCOS which is an anagram for CONES *shrugs*

the binary says

Quote:
II I III


also abit of meta:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
TO BE CLEAR: The Uplink Saga is a new series we will be running on the youtube channel www.youtube.com/UplinkSaga

The show will be an action/comedy that is designed to look and feel exactly like a 16bit RPG. The catch here (and the reason we gave it its own channel) is that the show will be completely run on viewer interaction. Viewers will be able to communicate directly with the characters via e-mail and comments and help guide their survival. Subscribers to the channel will also be receiving extra benefits such as leaked documents, maps, schematics and even possibly messages from the characters themselves to better help guide them.

So check out our teaser, and if you are intrigued then join us at youtube.com/UplinkSaga to play along!

Run by these guys: http://www.youtube.com/user/NoreastaProductions?feature=watch [spoiler]

And I got an e-mail titled "1/3". Shocked

I think it says the same thing, though the binary might be different:

Quote:
we are the resistancE
they will not Hear us
they will not see us
however they will fear us

0100100101001001001000000100100100100000010010010100100101001001


EDIT: My binary also says II I III, but are we sure that is the message they were trying to deliver? One other result I found through base 64 is this:
SUkgSSBJSUk=
which looks a lot like a youtube URL.
