Wait. We're actually Still doing this AND Getting Somewhere?

We are still doing it, it's slow but things do happen from time to time.

For those that haven't been in the Discord chat, here's what's new from the last post:

GDC hotdog - Jim and the gang recorded about 12 'casts while driving to/from GDC, and stated they plan to release about 1 per month for the rest of the year or so.

The first GDC hotdog mentions DST does not relate to Daylight Standard Time

Rachel has posted some different drawings of dogs, skulls, and birds(birbs?). http://drawathing.tumblr.com/

Huff posted a pic of a large frog - https://twitter.com/LordHuffnPuff/status/714249481269551105
I'm wondering if it could be related to Sizing Operation under the Operations portion of the clemens/tundra login

We've still not pinned down a definite pattern for the updating operatives list, but Norgg has tried to sub letters for names and locations. http://new.norgg.org/files/agent_codes_maybe_snarfblat.txt

stickers from GDC: https://www.facebook.com/FrogFractions/posts/1126961720672011

THD 46 - 9:47 and 9:42 someone says 'oak' fairly loud
@12:32 there is a high frequency spike

No new revelations on case codes 042 492

Title cards for pOOP DREADS and pOISON OAK (THDS 45 and 46, respectively) have lower case letters, and different fonts partially through the words. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy5JGFfB4yEmIajXWgD17Ag

This is neither here nor there, but apparently, the developer of I Wanna Be The Guy is excited for this to come to light, too, because he titled his Super Mario Maker stage "Frog Fractions 2".

This is the sort of beautiful, ridiculous puzzle that makes me love life again whenever I'm sad. Andre Felipe Felipe would be proud to see his legacy.

Train Hot Dog

[jimmc3rd]

@tyrostoken Welcome! We're always in need of fresh minds and perspectives.
Much of our discussion gas moved to http://discord.me/FF2
We occasionally post updates here.
We have a mindmap (the link can be found in ARG talk in the chat) that has most of the gathered info
To answer your questions, the mario amiibo gave us a link to a pastebin that had an email header that allowed us to enter the Gustav email account. That helped with the museum meet up and some quartz that I think NBean picked up. We're still not sure of what that means.
We also still have not found the decaytruth.info login for the Ashby administration page.
What Jim does usually with the thds is upload to YT first, then the site later. GDC dog is posted once a month, from their trip to GDC.
The discord chat is the best way to keep up to date, and everyone is friendly.

Cheers

Frog Fractions 2 Wiki

[reesylou]

Not seen mention of this anywhere (and there is too much on the discord to go through, s might have been raised there)

In the above:

[jimmc3rd]

@reesylou
it was noticed pretty soon after we got the login, but there's not really been any light shed on what it could mean, so we're not clear if it is in fact just a red herring, or an actual clue

I have it listed on the mindmap under the login it was found, which I think was the clemens/tundra beta login

it's similar to the wibble wobble - duck with a feather link found in another login, which escapes me at the moment.

mindmap link: https://www.mindmeister.com/657363408?t=T2QuVC6xXt#

hope this helps, but if you've got any ideas, feel free to post in the discord or on here, and also contribute to the wiki if ya like.

Hi all. Welcome to the first of what will hopefully be a reasonable frequent roundup of the goings on in the world of Frogs Fractions ARGing. I know it looks kinda dead here, but there's been tons of stuff happening in the discord chat, which has been awesome for talking things through and figuring out leads, but not so good for prosterity (or posteriorty - Butts pun!) of information, and also hard to keep track of when you don't get a change to vist for a week, and suddenly there's 700+ new messages.

To begin, I'm going round-up most of July, in which a ton of stuff happened, and we ended up even more confused than when we started. I also wasn't around much, so if I've missed anything important or got any details wrong, feel free to chime in.

Joshua Giraffe
The first big revelation came when someone noticed a twitter account referring to the song Joshua Girrafe by Raffi. I think Justin might have retweeted it? Anyway, you might remember Raffi as being mentioned earlier in the ARG as the childrens singer behind the http://time-travel.club/awibblewobblewibblewobbletoandfrobuttheonelittleduckwiththefeatheronhisbackheledtheotherswithaquackquackquack dead link on time travel club. I only knew the song as an old nursery rhyme, and don't think Raffi ever made it to Australia, so I'm going to plead ignorance on this one (side note - this is me trying to blame the Americans and Canadians for missing the really obvious clues I'm about to detail, that have been staring us in the face for the last few months). Upon listening to Joshua Giraffe, we're greeted with a mention of a 'Frogs Size 12', and the line 'So if you see them get a net... Funicello, Ho Ho Ho.' Yeah. We kinda all dropped the ball on that one. Anyway, turns out joshua/giraffe is a login for time travel club. Then - shit gets even more confusing.

Joshua/Giraffe
So joshua/giraffe takes us to a messed up (we're thinking decayed) login page with a list of texts. Currently as below;

Welcome to episode 2 of the Frog Fractions 2 neverending ARG recap, in which we get a bunch more clues, and continue to not solve anything!

Twitch stream from 1901
On July 30, After some random game streaming, Justin/LordHuffnPuff's twitch stream terminated. When it returned a few minutes later, he was dressed in old-timey clothes reading a newspaper from 1901 about Annie Taylor going over Niagra Falls in a barrel (seriously, that Wikipedia page is amazing - she was 63 at the time, and did it to make money. She made a little, but then her manager stole her barrel, and she spent most of her savings on detectives trying to get it back). He followed it up with the tweet "Well that was strange". He has also made several old-timey streams since.

Train Hot Dog font weirdness
Since episode 45, the 'g' at the end of Train Hot Dog, the word 'episode' and number, and the first letter of the episode titles on Youtube have been in a different font. As of episode 61, they have gone back to normal. It would seem that that if there is something to solve here, we have the full sequence. Since the main variable seems to be the first letter of the title, we have been focusing on that. The full sequence is; PAHTCGUWNGNBGL. It does not apear to be a shift cypher or an anagram. It has also been suggested that the fonts themselves could be the key to the solution.

That's it for today. As always, feel free to join us in the Discord chat - we have a butts-spam channel!
