There's a debate whether or not we are "solving" these flash files or if the updates just occur whenever the PM feels like it (or if the flash files are part of a bigger puzzle we don't know about yet).

The flash files have not been appearing in the chronological order of the ARGs:

red = http://www.errantmemory.com/fragments.html - Lockjaw
light blue = http://www.errantmemory.com/once.html - The Beast
purple = http://www.errantmemory.com/truth.html - ILB
yellow = http://www.errantmemory.com/iam.html - Chasing the Wish
now playing: Metacortechs

The only similarity between all of these is that there is a picture related to the ARG (though I'm not sure if the pic for iam was in CtW or not) and the voice over is from an AI associated with each ARG. There is a table in the source code with room for 10 dots, so we could be seeing 5 more clues over the next few days. Keep your eyes open.

posting at the same time

thanks Rowan... I didn't realize how many ARGs involved AIs in some fashion. Others that I know of are AWARE and Project Gateway.

Meeting Minutes

Just a little summary of what I've been keeping track; the important elements in my mind.

IT IS ALMOST TIME


Code:
Color           .SWF name       ARG Name        AI Speaking/Writing     Image
==============================================================================
Red             Fragments       Lockjaw         Thepythia               Netsight Browser Eye
?               Simulation      Metacortechs    Collector, The          Urchin's goodbye
Orange          ?               ?               ?                       ?
Yellow          Iam             CTW          TuringPrinciple/ShadowTalk Cray Supercomputer
Blue            Once            The Beast       Mother                  Eliza's Teaparty
Indigo          ?               ?               ?                       ?
Purple          Truth           I Love Bees     Melissa / Operator      Aunt Margaret


Unused Colors: Orange, Indigo, Green

The Beast, Lockjaw, CTW, I Love Bees, MetaCortechs

Other ARGs with AI's: Acheron (Turk), Aware (TOBI)

Edit: Man, that really came out lousy, but it's there...

I have a slight addition/correction to this, that I'm sure will turn out to be completely useless.

The image of the black hole (from Metacortechs) was posted by a hacker named Leak (and his extension was .bh); it is actually not clear whether he was really an urchin or not (it was proposed during the game that he is an AI himself, sort of harmlessly spying on the urchins - and that spec was neither denied nor confirmed in the post-game chat).

[Completely useless to ARG]I've been following this for a little while, and was a participator in the ILB ARG. I can't remember my old user name for this forum, so I just made a new one.[/completely useless to ARG]


Ok, I had a few ideas about this ARG. Does anyone think this sounds a lot like the Matrix? The whole human-robot thing?
And, is it possible that this is the Pious Flea? He stayed behind in the ILB ARG, so maybe he is just just found a voice, and is using it. Perhaps he is saying he remembers ILB.

new text?

When did this appear?

broadening parameters, assimilating related threads ...


I guess it could mean that we will now be seeing other ARGS that didn't feature AI. Perhaps Acheron? "Play Chess with Turk" was before I started playing that game. I am not sure a chessbot is the type of AI this errantmemory guy is remembering.

I noticed that too Rose, and it wasnt there before even when /warning got posted last night so it must have been an overnight addition. I posted about it over at IU. We'll see soon enough, there are only three more updates to go and it usually does 2 a day.

The Pythia was not an A.I. There -was- an A.I. in the Net:Sight browser, though!

update

final? update to:

http://www.errantmemory.com/meeting

it seems to be referencing itself so the ARG reference would be errantmemory, if that is what the game is called.

quote

http://www.errantmemory.com/place

seems to attribute a quote incorrectly to Lewis Carroll.

I think Yogi Berra said "If you don't know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else."

What Lewis Carroll said is "If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there." from Alice in Wonderland
