I think it might be my computer, but I get a "Cannot find server" page on clicking the link.


The link won't work unless you have an IRC client that accepts links with irc:// . You can always use the java IRC client on the site and then just: /join #gregslife

Ive made an attempt to animate the screenshots. Ive also adjusted the levels to enhance the hidden text and made it 70% smaller to fit on the forum but you should be able to see it....and remember.. bring it all to me!

you can find the animated gif for those without flash here

edits: the flash file b0rked.

Well spotted. I had a good look on Photoshop with a little fiddling I found it too. from what I make out it definitely says ent...but the question now is, what exactly does that mean?

EDIT: Considering it's on all 5 perhaps its could just be like a design watermark?

I'm thinking the same thing or possibly just a rogue layer they forgot to delete.

I had this thought and didn't see it discussed anywhere. Tange anagrams to Agent. So Agent Respond. THe other idea, is that they are asking Tange or Agent, whatever, to respond. WHat if we post a message to the wwwboard site as tange, and see what kind of response we get. I was about to do it and then thought that I would get some input, see what the message should be.

EDIT: Just tried to post as Tange on the wwwboard. it took the post but doesn't show on index.html. Will see what comes from it.

I am coming from the IGN Board community and have been working on the Origen site mystery. You might be wodering why I am posting this here on the Greg's Life ARG site. I think that there might be a connection between the two, but first I must show how I have reached this possiblie conclusion.

The origen site registered to MS can use .com .net or .org. as the ending. For a while the .com and .net sties had the same site, but the .org took you to google with a search for Oriental Region. This can be confirmed here.

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/644/644110p1.html

Now on thursday the 25th the .org redirected people to the following group:

boyskateras\'J

where in pops Sarge ATA 360 who began posting cryptic messages to four user in the group there. The Following is tabulation of what was said.

What do we know?

waiting... time will come...

nature will show you the way...

Soon... Are you ready?

Do not worry. We are always ready.

Patience will help you find....ways

the key is the meaning of patience.

Everything has its time. You just have to wait for Nature...

Knowing trees, I understand the meaning of patience.

Places... are always there.

Nature helps finding places. Places make Nature.

those answers are to be found.

Remember they way you got to this place?

-Nature has changed it-

We respect Nature, add elements and you will be closer.

More changes are coming.

Remember they way you got to this place?

Your memory is part of your Nature.

Things change with time.

Different animals were used during our communications in the past; all
of them were part of Nature.

Someone Cold is using part of its nature.

-Memory-

Remember they way you got to this place?

Do not expect Nature to follow your rules. Nature has its own laws.

Remember they way you got to this place?

You were looking for something...following something.
Nature wasn't your goal.
To get to this place you changed Its Nature.

We thought you knew they way to get to this place. If you do not,
please do not follow Nature.

Follow they way you used to get to this place. Nature will be pleased

Again, something Cold is using its nature.

We will be back, When Nature tells us to come back.

Nature its Proud of you ALL.

-Alone nothing can be done-

Nature strikes again...Your nature....find clues...

-There's only one Nature-

Patience will help those who believe in Nature.

-The path to Nature is near US-

I am

waiting for Nature..... Things that were living soon will
disappear...

Nature's law, animals do not speak.

Sound was their gift..

Severance should not be the goal of any creature.

Patience will lead us to Nature.

Finding this to be interesting I began doing a search on ARGs once I learned the term from a friend and came across the ARG site. Looking at the gregs life Celcus school thing got me to wondering about a possible connection to Origen. I mean the "school" picture that is giving to us has does a suspicious looking tree in it. Thus I began Exploring the Greg's Blogs/jornal of the Three characters involved in this. I posted my findings of this search like this at the IGN community Forum.

found out that if you type anything behind the question mark on the .com site, it will allow you to do anything. On the .org or .net site it allows you to put up the question mark, but if you type anything after it, it takes you to a can not be found page.

The is also this page:

http://www.origenxbox360.com/images/countdown/origen_tease_2_02.JPG

here goes a bit of interesting info:

he timer goes by your computer clock; you can set it ahead about a month and the timer will say 0, 00, 00, 00. Nothing happens, though.


On ARGN.com. Look at the picture at the top left
http://www.argn.com/

Also if you go to the web page that they give you the http://celsusschool.topcities.com/ the "headmaster" says this:

Since my takeover of this school I no longer see the neccessity of a futile web site such as this one. Therefore I am shutting it down permanently. It served only as a reminder to the students that they existed in a school rather and and educational prison which I now prefer to call it. Please remember to watch carefully and bring forth the fruit of goodwill.
Those that are clever enough will know the directory to the old site. Please stay away and bring forth the fruit of goodwill.
Victor Infusco (Headteacher)

The last part about being clever enough, you had to highlight this to see it. Wild goose chase or connection

Then I found this out after looking into Greg's Profile for his journal:

Cracking it possibly!!!! shock Not just a coincidence I think.

Check this out might not be anything but, I was going through that ARGN site and looking at stuff for the School and went to the blog/live journal of the "greg" involved in this school thing. Anyway taking a look at his profile he has three friend listed and one is an Agent Snow shock

This is Agent Snow. (Some one cold is using part of its Nature) Note that in her profile thing it says she is a programmer raised_brow

http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=agent_snow

Webstie Pink Bunny raised_brow

http://www.pinkbunny.co.uk/

The following are all the pics of agent Snow interesting is that the Black and White pic looks like a comic drawn page of Joanna Dark, next is the fact of there is a pic of J Allard at the bottom.

http://www.livejournal.com/allpics.bml?user=agent_snow

Since then i have done some further research into all of this.

Greg's Journal was created on 8/21/05 and the starter of this thread received an email from him on 8/22/05, Origen went online at the same time it seems or around this time. If you look at Naomis Blog it say it was created in August of 05 as well even though there are dates to previous entries that date before this, but creation dates don't lie.

Also the fact that the missing head Master name is Jeremy Allenson is well weird figuring he share the same first name initial J and the same first three letters of the last name Al with. J Allard. Also all this buisness with the fruit for the school and also the fact that as somebody pointed out Origen and Celcus were two opposing forces in Christrianity philosophies. Some this is pretty weird Coincidence to say the least. Anyway I'll let everybody look this over and see what they think.

Also there is this blog that some think might have a connection to Origen.

http://thx8612.blogspot.com/

Notice he does have ARGN.com linked in the left of his blog. that is all.

Bang Head Woops, sorry about that. I wonder if there will be any type of update on gregs journal today?

Though there is one thing of note on greg's journal in his profile, Agent Snow is no longer listed as being a friend. Don't know if it is in game or not.

This may be nothing, but, look in the area I circled. Look like text to anyone?
I cant seem to make it any more readable.

Actually...

It's a table and chair set. Check out the set to the right of the woman, near the tree. The "wire" look of the chair legs are the same.
