 		Hello xytho and Conro101. Welcome to this forum.

xytho, if you really are associated with Ascension why are you using an online generator of morse code, where the next person to use the tool overwrites your message?
http://www.meridianoutpost.com/resources/etools/calculators/calculator-morse-code.php
Seems a bit silly don't you think?
The people on the facepunch forum have a different message than what you get if you download now.

They seem to have gotten:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It also posted it on reddit an hour ago, so its probably a gimmick.

In morse code, unless I'm terrible at doing it, it's literally just a ton of letters in a random order

... ..- .- -. -..
. -... --. -.-- -..
-. .. -.-. -.-. --..
..- .-- --.- .-.. .---
.... .. -... -- ..
-.-- .... -..- . .--
--. .-.. -. --.- .--
.- .-.. -..- . ..

SUANDEBGYDNICCZUWQLJHIBMIYHXEWGLNQWALXEI

Which we now have no way of verifying. Don't get me wrong, the above does look like a code we would get.

Care to enlighten Further? Maybe a verification on the listening post or facebook page?

Or elaborate on you text, th_ ]nsw_r l/_s /n th_ gr]ve of m_n

 		Well it's nice to see that some level of activity is running again. I haven't received any new communication from Admin lately just as an update.

I've already unpolarized and sorted it into legibility below.

 		What an odd video. I may have missed something, but here's what I noticed:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
@0:50 the audio is replaced. It sounds something like "past Calliope ... they glibly skip ... children's section".
@1:26 Letters are added to the video around the triangle. If order matters, they were connected N->A->M->N.
@1:39 Numbers added to the video. The pigeon presses 8544585454. I tried calling (854)458-5454, but I got "Your call could not be completed as dialed. Please check the number and dial again. 0982" (or 0983). I doubt that the number at the end was significant, but when I called back to check it, I got a busy tone.
@3:09 Meditation gong. Probably insignificant.
@4:17 Annoying alarm. Probably insignificant.
@7:30 Horn. Probably insignificant.
The animated video describes the Bayer Process.

 		I'm new to this, and ARG's in general, but I've been trawling through this thread and anything else i can find on the subject - so I hope my questions aren't completely stupid.

Are there any links between the transhumanist cult that have an old yahoo group and this game? If so, has anyone tried to get in contact with Stuart Laforge and the others? They seem to have disappeared, and reading through their messages, it looks like the group just fell apart from infighting. That laforge guy seemed to get crazier as it went on.

I find this game really interesting, and hope I can help you guys solve it.

That's pretty much the same things I notated during it.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I think the triangle with letters added to it is a reference to the personality profile pyramids. Nihil Awareness, Absurdus Responsiveness, Metaphysical Susceptibility.

As for the numbers, I did ponder calling in order the bird pecked, but maybe its instead an entry code (845) to use at A1 320 227 2363?

 		Lurker here. The audio at 1.50 was streaming on the listening post when I last listened. Lots about how reading books is obsolete and how confusing language is. Tried calling in and using the parrot numbers but no result. In regards to xytho's post I found a couple of references to the grave of man being hell.

Just some tidbits.

 		I'm glad we have some new faces. Welcome, everyone!

You're most likely right about the pyramid, Endzo. I can't see it being anything else now that you've pointed that out.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I called the 320 number a few times. After you type the first 8 digits (85445854), the robovoice starts saying "A A A" over and over. It seems to repeat forever, but it has a cycle of "A A A" many times, then "A A", a pause, and starts over.

Anyway, this seems to match earlier access codes being 8 digits long. Once I entered the final 2 digits, the robovoice asked me to leave a message for "ABTV". I didn't know what to say, so I just left a contact number. Hopefully I'll hear back.

Any ideas?

 		Interesting response that you got!
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Likely I would think that is ABDV (Abbey Davies), wife of Stanley, the woman featured in the Facebook pictures with hostile discussions and unused alpha keys. As for what to say to her, I'm not sure what would be appropriate.

 		I called the number and left my info and that I was Absurdus. If you press 0 after you're done with your message it says "Thanks, Goodbye" then disconnects.

 		Wtf is this?
So i've checked the broadcast recent tracks and one is

All Around the Roundabout
60 BUTTERFLY WRIGGLER

I'm going to start recording the broadcast and see if I can't catch it when (if) it comes around again.

 		I saw that All Around the Roundabout while passing the recently played list yesterday, but it only said 60, no mention of 'butterfly' or 'wriggler'. It did make me raise my eye at it, but not knowing in full if that station is the PM's full time or not, I brushed it off as either another person starting to share on the station or another band name the PM has performed with.

 		New poll on the Facebook.

INMATE #161463 EXECUTED.
Later that day, Stanley's butler was driving him home from work. Approaching home, the two old friends had got to chatting about Stanley's job. This distracting conversation meant that the butler failed to notice Stanley's young son, Sid, running in front of the limousine until it was too late. When the butler saw Sid, did he swerve the limo away towards a tree, or did he continue driving in the child's direction?

This is crazy. Shocked

There's a lot of cloning happening it seems.

We get a second chance.

 		Oops, I never mentioned that I have a computer downloading the stream, track by track. I got it running a couple days ago, but I haven't had time to really make use of it. Here are the 2 files, which seen identical. I can't check too closely on my phone, though.

I'll try to share a Dropbox directory of the files soon so we can track and reference broadcasts better.
