 The Story So Far

Okay, here's where we are at the moment.

The original rabbithole was http://www.sin2.com/, parts of which (The ... of the link for instance) lead us to the main site for this game, http://www.legionpharma.com

The first puzzle was from the front page, and had "First is the KEY!" and a code (P12-66/P1-13/P2-3/P6-39/P3-9/P4-4/P5-8/P7-14/P8-45/P9-6/P10-12/P11-45), which was decoded (With the page linked and a little scripting) to say "ELEXISISBACK", confirming that this is indeed Sin2.

The second puzzle was the second news item posted in the Media Relations section, which had highlighted pieces of text (With code), and when the document was decoded (And the pieces placed in alphabetical order) we got the URL http://www.legionpharma.com/about.php?4yoUreyesonly

Then we were lead (From a new news article, and a change to the Eyes image on 4yoUreyesonly) to use Camouflage to decode the splash image. This then gave us the keyword entry page about.php?U4foreverybody

The next puzzle (Which we are working on now) is that we have to find 9 keywords (To plug into the page about.php?U4foreverybody)

So far, we have found "Genome" (From "First is the KEY" and "LegionPharma first in Genome research"), "Demosthenes" (From the MP3 on the Genome page, "Doom" (Not sure where that came from, anyone?) and "Money" (Got from plugging in random words)

We have also found other items at "Uh4xedmy3y3s!SiliconNitrogen" (14 7 being given MANY times, which in the periodic table is the elements Silicon and Nitrogen (Si & N)), and at bloody_path.php (Gotten from the equation on the careers page, and the Uh4xedmyeyes link)

Decoding the Binary (And un-ROT13'ing the text) at bloody_path.php gave us a phone number to call (A FAA information line for pilots), which had some information we were supposed to listen out for.

If anyone else has anything to add, please feel free to post it in here, to make sure we're all caught up.

EDIT - Stickied thread - SG

Sorry for having a duh! moment. I am now caught up on what we are doing. Now are we looking for the clues still in the legionpharma.com website or are we looking some where else? Some where specific in that site?

There's also this - The news archive error is a bunch of givvrish for key 69....putting in the 69 code (six spaces then nine spaces) over the gibbrish gave us a 4 letter code

9a1e

if desteg the gif inside the splash image on the main page (before you flood fill it!) with the password 9a1e, it has a text file, containing a single word, "Lanthanoids" Alternatley, you can just go here to see the magical word
http://www.legionpharma.com/about.php?9a1e

"Lanthanoids" was maybe a hint to the periodic table, where we should get our "blood_path.php" that let to a binary stuff (a letter) that let to the img_map.gif

Not necessarily true, on the Ritural board, we did find an anonymous user, submit the keyword 'doom'. No one knows who, or how, but they did...

I think we need to mention the airport puzzle a bit more, so far there has been a trail sort of leading up to the airport puzzle, as far as i can remember.. and now we've stalled at the concept of the robot suit.. Is this just another tid bit from the game we get to see? or is the next clue..

What we really need is a very indepth look at whats ended in dead ends and whats panne dout to other clues, so we know if we should be waisting our time trying to figure out the robot suit, or go back to try to find the other keywords...


Also has anyone given the thought that maybe the sin2 splash page (which now displays 3) has more to do with how long we have left to solve these clues? I swear back when it was at 14 it was going to on 0 on july 5th but maybe my math is bad.. or maybe its how many clues we have left to find?

It's now down to 2.... when I looked this morning it was still 4, and it appears you posted about it being down to 3 about two hours ago.

I think I'm going to check it lots tonight to see if it changes again. Maybe it's a half-life sort of idea, where it decays proportionally..... Razz

Well, the splash page has counted down. SiN Episodes is officially announced.

... What now?

What are we working on? I know for certain that we're missing some keywords, (what is it, five of them? Six?) at the U4forEverybody site. Also, we're trying to get a hold of Greg the webmaster, right?

Am I missing something?

Something's up, as the U4forEverybody page is now missing - but the rest of the LegionPharma.com page is working from what I can tell....

[EDIT] Okay, now it's back up again. I still think we're playing. Smile
