If you stack the three parts it almost looks like... something.

Looks kind of like braille

I was about to argue that any binary would stack, but the repetitions of this pattern (in red) are way too suspicious:

By the way, I can't even begin to imagine how you had the idea of stacking them. Nice @#$% job.

Hah, i've seen that trick used once or twice.

Also, the left and right halves of that stacked image look almost identical except for a few details. I tried arranging it as a stack of six lines but couldn't get anything nice.

Well it's not the galactic standard alphabet which I thought it looked like at first, neither is it klingon, could it be some sort of punch card code?


Edit, I made some alternative ways to sort these





edit, maybe it's marain?



It would fit thematically, coming from "the player of games"

I really like the idea of stacking them. There are definitely 3 distinct sections separated by a little over 4 seconds. I'm not seeing how you can put them together to form valid braille though.

In braille, the top line always has at least one dot. The other two lines can be empty, but the first line must always have a dot in each character. There are pieces of each of the three sections where there's at least one dot not matched on other lines (only possible if the section is the top line), but there are also places where the section is blank while there are dots on other lines (only possible if the section is not the top line). Maybe the order of the lines changes?

They're coordinates:

34 1' 30.5148'' N 118 23' 36.1932'' W

Last line of the braille stacking had to be shifted one position to the left, I realized the repeating pattern looked a lot like the "number" symbol.

Edit: finally managed to properly format my google maps search Very Happy

It's in Los Angeles, but no timestamp, so I'm not sure what to do with it...

The Ashby Brewery address is also a grocery store, right?

"Red Pages Podcast reminds all Resistance members: If you don't open your communications with the #17, you may as well not open them at all"

https://ia601509.us.archive.org/16/items/RPP151004/RPP15-10-04.mp3

edit: seems they mention tunisians developing time travel around 39 mins or so

I didn't listen to closely to the entire podcast, but I did notice a child making different noises throughout.
At the end Someone talks to the child and says: "Ahh! What do I do William?", which also happens to be the commanding officer for herbie on the beta access page.
Perhaps the audio with William is a clue somehow?

Nice job rmartins! Good call using all the punctuation. No wonder I couldn't form words out of the sequence!

Has anybody noticed that the capitalization of the last two words changes on this page?

As of Oct 17 9:32 PM CDT it ends with "AND water". I've been checking pages looking for updates or changes and this is the only change I've seen.

I read on NeoGAF that a guy added "and water" back when the admin/admin login was still working, but after it got fixed, for some reason Jim kept it. Here's the link:

I will listen to the podcast tomorrow (these things are looong...) but it seems to me that they're telling us to get in touch, and to start messages with #17 so they can separate it from the rest of the questions they must get normally. If William is in the podcast (in one way or another) then I will reinforce what I said earlier: we should ask for deployment instructions or resources, like it says in Herbie's page!

I can't remember where I saw it exactly, unless it's been removed from a post around somewhere, but IIRC, when NeoGAF started looking into it, they found the actual admin login for the site using admin/admin and started editing the pages.
For that page in particular, they added "AND WATER" to "Hops marley malt yeast" and then whoever manages the ashby site edited it to have water in lowercase.

edit: rmartins (thank you!) posted the link

That's odd. I still see "AND water". Maybe it's different from different IP addresses like the hashes?
