Quite an interesting update,

On each 'character' profile there is an image with a hidden symbol, they're not letters or numbers or any language I recognise. It more likely that these will serve as trade marks or common symbols for each characters.

The thing is, Azimuth doesn't have a symbol. Instead, there is some writing. I can't make it out too clearly but I think it says,

"Azimuth is the key. She falls, Tillinghast falls"

Right?

Here are some higher contrast pictures of the symbols:

And a little picture of the writing:

Yes... I am very bored.

------------------------------------

Edit: And another thing!

If you look at Triftig's page you'll notice there's a security guard type guy standing next to a sign for The Aware Insitute.

If Googled it to no avail so I just typed in random addresses. I found http://www.awareinstitute.org. Notice the name of the founder and director. Rev. Paul Tillinghast!

Ok here's my contribution. I do not have the time to check out all of this info so I am providing it to the group:

awareinstitute.org registered by Ian Millington (someone has already received an email from Ian)

http://un.lea.sh resolves to IP 62.128.133.66

Reverse DNS look-up on 62.128.133.66 shows the following 17 sites hosted on that server. I looked at WHOIS on a couple, they were registered by Ian as well, so it probably isn't a hosting service, but rather Ian's own server.

The last four links are probably In-game.

Aware Watch has an address up for any aware sightings or suspicions.

hotlineSPLATawarewatch.net

I've sent an e-mail but haven't got a reply.

--------------------------

Edit: Got my reply.

Just to clarify, I sent him an e-mail asking if he's seen Rev. Tillinghasts blog and then I asked how you can tell if someone is aware.

Ahh, the joys of using reverse DNS to find sites that aren't even live yet. I've spoilered the findings for those people who want to wait until we are supposed to find them in-game. Maybe it's just me, but there's something more magical in finding a website by noticing a name in a picture and googling rather than using knowledge that, as a game, all the sites are probably hosted in one place and I can exploit that fact.

With a few more e-mails from Ian at Near Worlds, I thought it would be best to tell you that Unleash isn't strictly going to be an ARG so things like Reverse DNS seem to be making it very hard for the 'puppermasters'.

I think the main point is, don't get lead into a fully-fledged ARG because it isn't one. For example, we found several of the clues, but don't have access to the actual game to use them.

So I guess I'll have to stop picking it appart and just take it as it comes. Smile

There's a couple of people playing StudioCyphers that think this might in some way be linked to the first game....
