Haha, that message really freaked us out when we read it, but it doesn't seem to have had any bearing on the game yet. We are still active on IRC, it's just that there are only a few of us who are around often and there are long breaks between activity when there aren't any updates to talk about.

We do expect Robby to get back to us eventually, since he always has in the past! We're just not sure how long we have to wait. Sometimes the agent system just breaks for long periods of time; it's probably because the PMs are busy with other things or are taking a break. It's just strange that this time it happened when we had a clear date scheduled to talk to Robby.

Hey, has anyone noticed that the Strong Room in the XORed video looks like the Svaalbard Seed Vault? If we have contacts near there, maybe have them look through the snow for the pouch mentioned in the credits? Also, on the 'special' pages in the fern book, maybe they used the ink made from lemon juice or something. If I remember correctly, put it in the sun and it will reveal itself. If that doesn't work, Google for hidden ink methods.

This does not seem to be anything. I cannot figure out how you got 307 437 5174 from anything; converting things to octal does not seem to give anything useful.

The second call you posted sounds like random noise, not like anything meaningful.


Code:
The numbers.

41 85 114 84 42 16 126 177 96 131 3 233 106 163 245 198 52 65 252 186 21 252 254 240 47 40 162 58 37 218 82


On a side note.

I ran a randomness test on the digits and all things suggest that the numbers are pure random (or very close). There are not any obvious patterns in it. In theory maybe it could be matched against the data in our binary files, but there is really not enough data to make any direct conclusions.

The fact there is a prime number of numbers (31) doesn't help any either.

Well, it seems my theory about a typo in Robbie's messages and that his vacation lasts two weeks, not four days is off. I really hope this ARG goes on.

Patience, young grasshopper. We've experienced many lulls with no activity.

Well, just found out that the energy bars (look at my previous posts) are served as in-flight desserts on Air Serbia flights, and ONLY on Air Serbia flights.

Apparently the AS is about to be recommissioned by Agent 16017. Maybe Robby? Recordings are on the dialer, and for the lazy ones (like me):

Most of the in-game phone numbers haven't been working properly for a little over a month. We haven't been able to decode the sequence of numbers yet, but we still hope we'll eventually figure it out. We thought that the PMs might be taking a break, but this new message says that the agent system is being "recommissioned", so hopefully things will be back to normal soon and there will be new activity.

Our wiki is updated sporadically and is kind of confusing to navigate, so if you want to learn more about the timeline/history of the game you can look at the first few posts of the thread. If you want to get involved, we have an IRC channel at #arg on irc.freenode.net.

New message (actually same message just with the date prefix + "warm greetings await" just before the "traditional important message"): http://otp22.com/l?16017&mNIgVgE
Thank you PMs, thank you.

morningcoffee has translated the message as follows;
ALL AGENTS, CONTACT HQ REGARDING AN IMPORTANT CHANGE MADE TO AGENT SYSTEM. ALL AGENTS, READ PAGE 18 OF GREEN BOOK. FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS AVAILABLE ON AS27.

On another note - AS36 is not online at all...
