i've got a feeling it's been mentioned as a hoax somewhere, but don't quote me on that (quick search didn't bring it up)

it was mentioned in another thread. my take on the msn blog was that it was unaffiliated with the actual ourcolony site, but someone who was playing the game created it as a way to keep track of everything that has been going on on ourcolony. so i guess its a usefool tool, but still not anything really important.

sorry for the double post, but the blog was updated yesterday.

Seeker
there is nothing you can use to find me, as there is nothing i can provide to reassure you; except the truth. in this time of trials and doubting we you must remember what we you came here for. if we you question too much we you will find flaws in everything. but we you must question to the point of questioning. always remember the correlation between the past, the present, and what is to come.It is more clear to you.

i took the liberty of bolding all of the "hidden" text that had to be highlighted. doesn't really tell us anything, except that we should question the game (or the blog) but not doubt it? something like that...

i'm wondering if anyone on one of the other teams went to that place at 9:39. it would have been interesting just to see if anything had happened.

it would also be nice if gamem8ker posted something on ourcolony.net so we could see whether the blogs were real once and for all. *if* by any chance he is reading these forums (he's gotta get his info somewhere), that would be a cool thing to do..

This was put up on the blog earlier this afternoon, dunno if it means the challenge is forthcoming:

the message
,i have seen the truth, it looks very hopefully, if you can recover, prepare at once,

Resurrection is Near


the messengers have given the colonists what they are allowed to give, it is your turn now, accept the truth or it will be lost

dunno how many times this needs to be said, but, if its not directly linked from ourcolony.net, there is a good chance (like close to 100%) that it is out of game.

Gee, is that why the subject topic is: [Out of Game]

Thanks for the heads up though. =D

I know, but it seems that there are some in this thread that still see it as "in-game"

they found found the third, they have been shown what they seeked. they are the few that believe, they do as we ask and ask as we do. they doubt us not but question our every move. we congradulate them


i will leave it to them to reveal what they have, them i will also show you.



Looks like we have to wait and see...

Personally, I don't have too much faith in any cryptic messenger that can't spell "congratulate".

there's been a lot of spelling errors and mistakes (so it seems) going on in this one, that kinda take some of the polished shine off that ilovebees had (omfg, they screwed up! oh wait... they got it right).

edit: which is why i think (to go along with the confirmation), that this isn't being run by the same group

Hmm... I was kind of leaning on the fence, more likely to believe that this thing actually had something to do with ourcolony, but I have to agree with you. The latest post has horrible spelling and grammar, and that's not counting the usual non-capitalization. Also, "absolute obedience" is something that I did not see in the original ourcolony site.

Yea...... what did they meant with "them i will also show you"? Rolling Eyes

This picture showed up in the blog along with yesterday's post.

Hmm...... Do you think it means something? Or just another hoax? Confused

P.S. Added the pic as an attachment in case you can't see it.

OK, as far as the picture is concerned, I think it's a hoax (I'm not talking about the blog itself... you can decide on that).

Look, it'd be easy to get a picture like that... why?

Because that symbol is a universal symbol for power on off switch. Nothing special. No one seems to have noticed that though.

Look, every DELL laptop uses a Chromed button with that symbol on it (At least the newer ones do). The remote for my Panasonic DVD player has that symbol above the red power button to signify "POWER".

Don't read too much into it. "Assuming" that the whole blog IS a hoax, you can bet that the kid/person doing it discovered the symbol on something they owned, and thinking people wouldn't realize it was common, thought it'd give false legitimacy to his site.

That's my opinion, and my two cents... you take it for what you will.
