Hey everyone!

I've been lurking this on and off for a while, but this seems like one of the best ARG's I've seen in a while so count me in! (even though I'm pretty late to the game)

Side note:
I think that Atropa has presented the best current theory for the follow the path clue so far. Is there a central place where all the pages have been uploaded?

[thebruce]

There are a few people tracking content. A few google docs, and certainly the wiki is at least a prime spot for hosting images.

There's always the board M set up for us too.

Does anyone have the original phone number from the beginning? I started later so I never caught it...

New Update from M

"Wednesday is an excellent answer.

But it is not where this particular path leads.

The connection with 119 is strong. The number sits along a sort of needle on a sort of compass.

It… does things, to put this in far too small a boat.

You need it to do something else.

Wednesday comes later. After all, we are still in this dark first night.

But you have worked so hard, and have found things on your own using your own sorts of brilliance.

You deserve some light, and I will give it to you.

Hide all keys for now.

Keep them safe; we will need them someday.

Then return to the path. And stay on it.

-M"


Not sure if he's saying that hide all keys for now, as in they're red herrings, or what.

I found a town that's on the 119th longitude line that matches one of the towns on the keys. It's Greenleaf, California. Now known as Gregg.

He's posted some more. I'm not sure if he's debunked the solution that was proposed to him or if he's just waiting for someone to go there.

Last night M came into the #findthestarlight irc and basically walked everyone through the "follow the path puzzle". I'll write up the full solution, so everyone can see how it works:

[GuestUser17]

Well that solve was way more complicated than I was expecting!

[TheJoker]

Oh sweet Jesus, that was complicated.

Anyway, next puzzle seems to be up- a book was found exploring the MineCraft server but apparently the people exploring also screwed something up big time.

Thoughts?

Here's the list of numbers for the pages in the book, (enaxor fixed my mistakes, thanks!)

When they show you the path, remember how it goes.

I'm assuming it's the double digit numbers of the same #.

So far from each 'page' here are the ones that are doubled.

22 55 44 22

77 22 77

44 22 77 77 77 77

44 44 77 22 77

22 44 44 33 11 11

44 77




That's the only speculation I've gotten so far

For anyone who's curious, the puzzle currently being worked on is the one here:
http://findthestarlight.freeforums.net/thread/30/final-path-end-chapter-1

And by the looks of the most recent post on the Tumblr, I'd say something bad might have happened to M...

[thebruce]

4 pages and lots of discussion. Care to summarize here?

[enaxor]

A video summary of Chapter One has been posted on Find The Starlight. Chapter Two should be starting soon.
