Bar 2 mentions QPLR grimmacing, maybe from injury? Given the footprints leaving, and his robes being in another part of the house, this almost sounds like a situation of 1 person in 2 places.

There was a movement 2 bar 1 and a picture for it, but it seems the original team didn't document or back them up and they are now missing from the original linked site.

I wasn't sure if I should read that as QPLR was the one stabbed after the vision disappeared or if QPLR was the one who did the stabbing to make the vision disappear. Either way, it's still confusing.

I was going through the files I downloaded during the 24hrs I recorded and found a file I missed. This file is called "Dutch" and seems to be more numbers but there seems to be more than just numbers said at certain points. Anyone speak Dutch and able to translate. I am very sorry I missed this.

Is anyone else recording the broadcast station? I am not able to constantly record it. (I do have an automated way of recording and getting the title names. If you are interested let me know and I will post up how I am doing it.)

It seems that there are "extras" being put in at random and these aren't repeated. For example Forecast seems to be repeated approximately hourly (Give or take 20min), Dutch only appears once in 24hours. I have the file again a few days later when I recorded another 24 block.

Started recording the broadcast again and just saw Forecast5 come through. I listened to it as it was being read off and confirmed that the female voice is saying the same set of data each time but the Players (the male voice warning and the SSTV picture) are in different places. This really does feel like map coordinates but how to represent it so we can make sense of it. The players are obviously moving about. I assume they are still in correspondence and are changing direction?

Better SSTV capture of Yugito attached as well.

I am interested in knowing how you are recording and so on. I'm in the process of setting up a new pc, but once that is done I may be able to help in tracking radio programming changes.

For capturing the broadcast I am currently using AIMP3. I believe there are other programs that can do this I just happened to have this player installed. This was the first time I used this feature. Didn't know it had this ability until I researched ways to record streaming radio.

AIMP3 has an area for "Radio Capture" under player in its settings menu. Here you can specify a direct stream copy which captures the stream without any converting. I am then splitting the record file by "tracks" and then using naming template to set the file name to include the title. I have specified an output directory and because of the naming convention I have set I end up with %date% %time%. %artist% - %title%

eg. 2015.06.08 14-35. Nick Lyons - Forecast5.mp3

Once you have the settings saved you just add the station address to the file area (http://listen.radionomy.com/amna-a.m3u)
Click on the play button and once it is playing click on the radio capture button (looks like a radio transmitter antenna)

So it doesn't interupt anything else I then turn the volume all the way down in AIMP. It will just sit there playing the broadcast and recording it. Each time the track changes it makes a new file with the new title stamped with the date and time that it started.

I hope that doesn't seem overly complex. Once you have it setup it is just a matter of pushing play and then the capture button. It will then continue to capture until you tell it to stop.

I found out about this through a post on reddit and mapped out the number-note list from the forecast:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Map Link.

The highlighted cell corresponds to (XI,A-sharp), which had "sharp" replaced with "south" in the forecast recording.


Anyway, Dunago mentioned in the reddit post that people were interacting with an admin and moving around the map. Anyone have details about the moves they made and the feedback?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I'm guessing players should either navigate to (XI,A-sharp) or use the interrupting alert notifications to determine a different end location.

I am one of the players. We are able to change direction. I've very recently received Moderate as my condition for the first time.

Also I just noticed I got this

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
WARNING: WRIGGLER is attempting to occupy 1 of your tanks. You must ADVANCE or
RETREAT.

NOTE: If you both ADVANCE, you will both lose 1 of your tanks.
If you both RETREAT, you will both keep all of your tanks.
If one of you RETREATS and the other ADVANCES, the RETREATER will lose 1 of
their tanks to the ADVANCER.

CHOOSE: ADVANCE or RETREAT?


I chose ADVANCE

I think the long numbers in Japanese possibly represent zip codes or some type of GPS location. The single numbers could be a combination to a master lock possibly.

Thanks for translating the Japanese btw, I was having trouble both trying to transpose it and translate it. I tried using dragon to transpose it but it doesn't work for not English.

It might help if you guys made a map of which direction you are going/went and what conditions were at each spot.

Well, afternoonofthefaun was skipped as far as the order of the numbers is concerned, not sure why, and WhatIsTruth's character (A1-ACDC) wasn't mentioned in the original narrative. I'm lost.

WhatIsTruth mentioned he was in a special situation with Wriggler (#161461) regarding tank possession. Do we take this to mean he 'won' in this conflict?

Were you given any information when you took possession?
