Whoa hey looky here a new update and some goody puzzles to solve through out.

I could only make out a couple of things for instance

at 0:45 seconds in it looks like the words stranger in the dark appears
and at 0:53 what apperas to be some binary comes up as well.

I'm not too good at that stuff but there is more i'm sure.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkiCKxJOlBk


I've been going through the latest vid and it gives us a good lead
at 0:50 you can see 104 116 116 112 115 58 47 47 116 119 105 116 that translates to
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
https://twit


1:08 E6C)4@>^ I can't make anything out of it

2:00 I managed to put together the scattered binary together and got this
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
00110010 01100100 01100001 01110011 01101000 00110101 01100011
translates to 2dash5c


These two leads us to this https://twitter.com/2dash5c
It seems to belong to The Stranger in the Dark

There are a few encrypted messages on this twitterpage

First post says SGF2ZSUyMHRvJTIwZ28lMjBiYWNr
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Base 64 and says " Have to go back "


and second post says:" http://www.fullsteamfilms.net LZW CWQ "
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
LZW CWQ translating to The Key in Rot cipher



Ho damn this guy is an ace!

and yes we have another lead. I wonder who this stranger in the dark fella is. Guess we'll ahve to wait and see where this goes.

and his his latest twitter post says perhaps he will have more freinds.

 		I don't know if this has been mentioned yet but this post on the blog:
http://jdfsatr01.blogspot.com.au/2016/12/after-all-this-time.html
Has some binary that translates into:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I will find it and i will claim my spot (repeated 16x)

and there is also a repeated cypher that I haven't figured out (because I'm personally not good at them...)

Go to http://www.unfiction.com/resource/rot-it/ and paste the string. Press ROT-IT. Scroll down the results until you see readable text.

 		Twitter Post
Long time away and found new things to decode. Very Happy
Looking at the progress there is a new twitter feed (https://twitter.com/2dash5c). Looking at it just now and the latest post says:
Quote:
I have Information for you guys coming soon
9EEADi^^HHH]J@FEF36]4@>^492??6=^&rBC7D!q+B{B&I?&sx6"Esg"

So that last bit is definitely code.
Quick look around and it is a ROT code used before in this game.

Seems we have a new youtube channel.
Seems there are many different spots for information now. Might have to put a resource together to keep track of it.

 		So I was wondering why the username of the new channel (sIlEnsVerUmi) seemed so familiar, but then I remembered back when the FSA website was first discovered, we found that in the background of the "WRONG" photo, there was a code that said
VLOHQV YHUXPL
that someone decoded to meaning Silens Verumi (which someone said was latin for "Silent Truth")
I don't know exactly the significance of the capitalized letters (if anything at all) but I just thought that was interesting

Had quick go at running this through quipquip.com. After a bit of manipulating it I got to:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
YOU CAN'T RUN FROM ME. JAKE!

There seem to be a few "Characters" in the story now.

 		Ok so there is a new video on the "Calling of me" channel.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Titled: Back-log 004 6-32
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeMYuQjMDxY

I don't see any puzzles or things to work out but I might have missed it. The sound does dip at certain points when they talk about some specifics.

Resources that I am aware of: (not in any order)
1) Calling of me youtube channel - https://www.youtube.com/user/TheCallingOfMe
This went with Jakes Blog below.
2) sIlEnsVerUmi's youtube channel - https://www.youtube.com/user/sIlEnsVerUmi
Channel description litteraly says:
Quote:
I AM THE STRANGER IN THE DARK

I AM THE ONE WHO WATCHES

I AM THE ONE THAT CAN CREATE LIFE

AND END IT

I AM THE BRINGER

AND THE TAKER

I AM THE WATCHER

3) Jakes Blog - http://jdfsatr01.blogspot.com.au/
This is the blog that started this from what I can tell.
4) VLOHQV YHUXPL blog - http://yorktybkxaso.blogspot.com.au/
Is this "Stranger in the Dark"?
5) JDSFA01S59 twitter account - https://twitter.com/2dash5c
Is this "Stranger in the Dark"?
6) The website - http://www.fullsteamfilms.net/
This had hidden pages but how it is linked to the others above?

Thoughts? Any Ideas about where this is going? Any puzzles that we still need to tease out? Anything I missed that should be above?

So as I said previously it seems the WIX system has links to all its pages inside the code for each individual page. Its a bit convoluted but I was able to extract the following links. Some we know, some we haven't seen. (Again the URL tag doesn't like these links)
Normal website links: (Far as I can tell these are part of the "normal" website)

http://www.fullsteamfilms.net/#!jake-dobbie/gbgaf
http://www.fullsteamfilms.net/#!3d-work/c13ay

Below are links that are part of the game:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://www.fullsteamfilms.net/#!wrong/ohj86 - - - - (2 x "Wrong" images bottom image leads to password protected page wrong-1/ef7r0 password is Dillon)
http://www.fullsteamfilms.net/#!wrong-1/ef7r0 - - - - (Login glitch page. Click login and links to index/xbe9z which requires a password )
http://www.fullsteamfilms.net/#!index/xbe9z - - - - (Requires password Unknown )
http://www.fullsteamfilms.net/#!found-you/tumof - - - - (Glitch full screen saying FOUND )
http://www.fullsteamfilms.net/#!no-where-to-hide/tpqcy - - - - (Glitch page saying NO WHERE TO HIDE )
http://www.fullsteamfilms.net/#!index2/lprs1 - - - - (Audio recordings )
http://www.fullsteamfilms.net/#!index3/fztlx - - - - (Text Chat logs page )

There is a part in the website code that states that ef7r0, xbe9z are password protected and that is born out when trying the links
Seems I go hunting for things when I am not spoon fed information. I went looking at the website again and I found there are some new pages that weren't there earlier. And a countdown pops up when you visit the site. In addition to the below hidden pages there is now a "Sign up/Login" button in the top corner of some normal website pages (Like the about page). I don't believe that was there earlier? (Anyone remember?)
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://www.fullsteamfilms.net/forum Title: COLLECTIVE\/\/MINDS
Seems like a forum area has been setup. I didn't investigate but probably linked to the new sign up/login parts.
http://www.fullsteamfilms.net/copy-of-no-where-to-hide Title: WELCOME TO HUMANS UNITED
Has an youtube video embeded from the "Callingofme" channel titled 89days - 11hours
http://www.fullsteamfilms.net/popup-wn73d Title: "101001010010010010010"
This is the pop up count down. The binary does not convert to ascii

I looked around a bit and there were no posts but there was a question section that stated "If you are here, then you have been chosen. Then if that is the case. then congrats." And the other section 2-5c "There are others like you, Don't be greedy." Not sure what to make of it yet, I guess we just need to wait and see.

[/quote] I tried splitting it up and translating to octal format to see if i got anything, it translated to 5122222, not sure if that helps.

Also, did anyone mention about the random caps on the countdown timer? doesn't appear to mean anything to me, but the seconds designation has two S's, might bear further investigation. And I also signed up for the forum just to see if I could, can't hurt, right?

 		Updates
There have been updates to both blogs. (jdfsatr01 and yorktybkxaso)
Twitter also has new posts.
And it seems I shouldn't have spoiled the website links. Apparently I have been a bad lurker. (Very sorry PM, Can I still be chosen? I won't do it again, I promise.)

Callingofme has a new video. (I haven't watched it yet)

 		I too have signed up for the forum. But I am unsure what question we should ask. From the videos there is an AI at work. Is this the AI that we are talking with? Is this the question we should ask?

Oh, if you want to know what 2dash5c has posted in the forum, let me know and I will post a spoiler tag with the decoded message.

 		My guess would be that just ask questions? Like that scene from I Robot where will smith asks the hologram questions until he gets the right one.

so we should just ask questions until we ask the right one I guess

I wouldn't mind at least knowing what kind of cipher it is

 		From what I understand it is a straight replacement cipher. Not sure if it is a ROT cipher.

When I see these sorts of things I try putting them through http://quipqiup.com/ and see what it might be able to solve.

For the 2dash5c text it came back with:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
WHO ARE YOU?LEASE INTRODUCE YOUR SELF
Which I take to be:
WHO ARE YOU PLEASE INTRODUCE YOUR SELF

And ok I was a bit cheeky and answered on the forum in the same method it used.
(I hope I am not annoying the PM.)
