Alright, I'm in. Smile

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
If you play the Gene game on the ABC Family Kyle XY site, you get a code. If you go back to that flash scene, you can type in the password there and get some information and screenshots. One of them leads you to MADA Corporation, and another has emails. It's John Smith's computer we're looking at.


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
One email talks about a car rental confirmation. The reference number is F27S66521 and it was for June 26 at 8pm. The email was from "Car Rentals" to John Smith.


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The call records show "Seattle, WA" a lot, and on the MADA Corporation site, the Seattle, WA project is marked "CLASSIFIED".


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
There's a coded message on the cell phone on the ABC site, which says "MEET ME AT THE TREE AT 3:30AM".


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I think the MADA blog belongs to John Smith. On his computer, one of the emails bounced back that he sent, in which he was asking for information. In the blog, I sent the code I found along with my email address. Don't know if that will mean anything.


That's what I've come up with so far.

If you go to enter a comment at that blog, at the bottom of the entry it says:

Quote:

*Anything you send us may be used on-air or online.


So comments and interactions we have could be put into the show, or incorporated into the online portion. Nice. Smile

Not really important or anything that I can think of but in the blog if you go to the very bottom of the site there is a little white bar. Click it and it will restart the Instant Message conversation.

I spent way too long on this post and Max beat me to it, so here's what I have to add:

(By the way, the flash scene is the Clue Tracker.)

For anyone who really doesn't feel like playing the game, the computer password is
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
ACGT626W


E-mails:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
John Smith's e-mail address may be jsmithSPLATmadacorp.com . He may be the guy in the truck. (I haven't seen the show, just read a bit about it tonight. Going to start watching though.) I know that in the show, the man is in a truck, but he has over two weeks to change the type of vehicle.


Mada Corp/Theory:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Mada Corp brings up an 'old' version of the site. It has the lorem ipsum text under News, no dots on the map, and most interestingly: an old woman in place of the girl. The woman and man are blurred.

Theory: the boy in the middle is Kyle XY and the girl on the current site is one from the beach. And maybe the boy/Kyle was sort of cloned/deaged/whatever from the blurred man. Same with the old woman/teenager/girl too. Of course, this isn't entirely solid since I'm basing this on that I think they look similar, and maybe that's just me.


On Instant Chat, Peter_Jones tries to contact JohnSmith about something urgent. Unfortunately, we can't type anything. (I'm not away!)

The only two clear and unmarked lines in the classified folder are: 'has a photographic memory, yet no perceivable knowledge of any language' and 'Subject has no bellybutton. Unexplained.' Probably referring to Kyle.

There's a bill from Cascadia Telephone Services in the shredder. A lot of it is somewhat readable under the black. Again, I haven't seen the show so I don't know if there's any significance to anything. (See attachment)
EDIT: Actually, looking at it again *hits head*, probably not as the calls range from late March to early April. Maybe the phone numbers will bear some fruit? The most legible is 425-555-7967 and I think the other common one ends in 2745.

Who's that Lady?

If you go onto the ClueTracker on the ABCFamily website, and you click onto the computer and look at the MADA Coop. picture that they show to you, the very last person in the background is an elderly woman. If you go to the actual MADA Corp. website, you will see that the elderly woman is a little girl instead. I don't know if this means anything, but I think it does. Could possibly be the "other woman" situation that they talked about on the TV show. . . Who knows?

Alright, I'm in. I have yet to watch the show, but they have the episodes online so I'm going to watch them now. So far it doesn't look like we have much, but it's just starting. Hopefully we'll get more.

Also, I think this game might have brought one of my best friends into ARGs, but we'll see if she joins this forum or not Very Happy

EDIT: Do we have a channel for this in chat yet?

If you haven't watched the shows, you can get them on the ABC Family website, apparently (part of ABC's efforts to get their shows online, yay!)

I also set up an IRC channel on chat-sol if folks want to talk on-line, named, amazingly, #kylexy.

Okay, this is the first ARG I've ever played, so I don't know how much help I'll be. (Hey Axys!) Anyway, the thing that's bugging me is the returned email. Why are all the O's capitolized? I don't know if it's relevant or not, but there are 13 capitol O's starting from the "InfOrmatiOn nOw!!!!!!!" line.

Also some other things I learned from the ABC forum (before axys sent me here) that might prove useful:

Mada backwards is Adam
edit: posted previously

My mom, of all people, has a theory that the "Meet me at the tree" message refers to the tree in the woods where the skeleton was shown and Kyle made his first appearence. It would make sense if John Smith or someone involved in the Mada Corp had to dump some evidence off at 3:30 in the morning in the woods.

If you point on the colored dots on the project map, different things pop up. Seattle, WA is classified. The red dot is the branch researching the arts, "Developing talented young dancers and artists". I like the word "Developing".

Edit: deleting info I think is irrelavant. the comment blog on the Mada blog appears to be real comments. staciel304 has a myspace account.

I also think it is important that in the first main blog entry, Kyle is refered to as "him", but in the second he is given a name "kyle". The man in the truck is not the only one keeping an eye out. If it is John Smith's blog, he's obviously watching Kyle from somewhere, too.

there is a news clip in episode 1 that states a girl washed up on shore with no memory. So Kyle is not the only person Mada has made.

www.madacorp.com registrant

In case anyone is interested, the Internet DNS for www.madacorp.com indicates that this is an "Alias" for madacorp.com. Madacorp.com is a domain name registered by and belonging to... you guessed it, ABC, Inc.

I thought the following screen caps might help.


This is the best shot they gave of the image that Kyle produced. I don't see anything special in it, maybe someone else does?


The symbol the Tregers note on the image. Madacorp logo connection? Other clue?


The MadaCorp logo from their site, for reference.


The image in the puzzle must be significant...

This is what the picture from the corner of Kyle's picture and the clue tracker is going to look like. It was revealed in the trailers for next weeks episode. Someone else made this not me.

Himay, first off welcome to Unfiction!

My take on this image when I watched the episode was that this was just indicative of Kyle's brainpower. He was able to assemble a 1000 (?) piece puzzle in just minutes (hence the applause of the people around him). I have a hard time accepting that as a clue consider the puzzle was found in the waiting room of the doctor's office where the mother took Kyle to be examined.

However, I've been wrong before. If this is a clue, good spotting. Also, good job freezing the images for the other clues. Those could very easily be useful later.

Other random things I noticed:

On the puzzle Kyle puts together, there are binary numbers printed on the upper left corner of the puzzle (definitely) and possibly on the bottom right corner. It could be relevant in how Kyle is so mathmatically oriented.

Declan (however you spell it) is wearing a shirt in the restaurant that says "sidewinder" on the front and has the number "34" printed on the shoulder on the back. Since Kyle's first encounter with a living thing was a rattlesnake the "34" might be a clue of something to come, or the "sidewinder" might just be a foreshadowing of a confrontation between Kyle and Declan.

When Mrs. Trager is trying to get Kyle to sleep in Josh's room, there's a partially covered up poster behind her. It looks like it might possibly be a poster for "The Guess Who". Of course, I might just be seeing what I want to see there, but it would confirm the previous post about them. I tried to find a similiar poster/album cover pic, but I couldn't find one.

I was thinking about why Kyle finds white noise comforting (along with the water and bathtub) and I think it's because white noise is a constant sound with little variation kinda like the hum of machines. If Kyle was grown in a container filled with liquid, there would have to be some machinery close by to keep the water temp contant and to moniter his vitals and other such things.
