 		Yays!
Hey there, I spent most of my freetime today plowing through all the websites (ABC's three main kyle-applets, MadaCorp, and Madder... Er, MADa Blog)
Tomorrow I have set aside for rewatching the first two episodes, getting screen captures of every single damn interesting frame, and watching the third episode for the first time.
It's kind of sad the torrented versions are of higher quality than what ABC released on their site, but then again I've no right to be complaining in any way. Smile

But yes, even more will be accomplished tomorrow afternoon. I must admit I can't have fun just sitting back and watching.

I have graphical walkthroughs and analysis for the websites and blog posts, including for the Clue Tracker, Kyle XY challenge, and "Who Is Kyle XY?" Q/A, and as always I'll be posting my theories as each week progresses. Here's where it's at:

http://xmyth.proboards44.com/index.cgi#kxy

I'll also be keeping up mirrors for the websites to track changes, as I'm fond of doing for ARGs.




I hope the content I have so far helps everyone view the game and whatnot a bit more clearly and organized.

If you have anything to pitch in, please don't hesitate.

These games/experiences can only benefit from community involvement. Smile

enjoy the game.

k im kindof really new at this but if you look at the picture of the puzzle that someone put up earlier??

well theres the thing about the lines and connecting the dots but not the lines?

and in the corners of the puzzles there are the circles that someone pointed out....there are also a lot of lines that dont look like they correspond with the picture of the earth at all....

 		Yes, that would be binary. Someone has mentioned this earlier, I checked the binary out and it didn't make out anything useful.

 		Kyle
New to ARGs. Hi everyone.

I definitely agree with some of the people here about Kyle being some sort of experiment. But do you think he's a government experiment or an illegal one? He's definitely "superhuman" or something.

I also have a few questions:
- Why does Kyle draw using dots?
- What is the first name of Amanda's mom? (Amanda is the one Kyle likes right?)
- How long do you think it will be before we find out who the girl is?
- When you go to MadaCorp.com and type Amanda's name into the Employee Finder, it brings up "employee not found" or "no employee found"? But when you type in Declan's name, he is listed as CLASSIFIED. Why do you think that is?!
- What is the name of the company Stephen works for?
- What was the name of Nicole's guy friend at the center?

Could it be: "A Beam of Hope" ?

I think Kyle draws using dots because he is rendering drawings "digitally" as pixels. It has something to do with the way he sees things. We know he has some kind of super-sight, because of the way he speed-reads the server manuals and the satellite dish guide.

The company is LWK Software. I noticed because they showed the logo very prominently in the last episode. This may become more important later on, I suspect.

Your other questions are good but I don't have any answers right now. Smile

 		the show is funny though how like, the skeleton was extremely fake and that satellite guide....he couldn't even see all of the words because the fold in the book was covering a lot of them. Also, how do you wire a hard drive directly to a psu? I mean, it just didn't look right the way he did it.

Nicole's friend at Juvi Facility is Lou Daniels.
The reason Amanda's name does not come up as classified is because of sloppy writing on ABC's staff side. If you type in amanda bloom and add a space at the end of it, you'll get the classified screne.
edit: Then again, maybe it's not bad writing. Maybe that's why it says "CLASSIFIED tales hold empty promises" on the blog.
I don't know what Amanda's mom's name is.
I agree with Gupfee about the pixels

I have a theory about the LWK logo. I was going to wait on this, but since others think the logo might be relevant, I'll throw it out there. We're all familiar with the "red doesn't always mean stop" and "watch the signs", so I noticed the "W" in LWK is red. It might be possible we're going to get a red letter every now and then that will spell something out. I'm not putting any real confidence in this, but it was just something I was thinking. I'll be ticked if I'm right and it ends up spelling out "Who is Kyle XY" Raspberry

Of course, I'm still consumed by Walparnen and effynj. These are obviously clues to names we haven't heard yet. I'm thinking they might stand for initials rather than anograms or cryptograms. So we might be looking for names with the initials W.P.N. and F.N.J. Also, if you say effynj phonetically (being nice) it sounds like "even j". I know that sounds stupid, but it does fit the sentence. The J could point to our infamous John Smith or someone else. Still this is just a theory I've been thinking on. I don't know how it will pan out.

 		okay, about the classified things. All of the names that are possible to type in to get classified are in the source code. If that didn't make sense then here: look ion the source code, youwill find names, all of those names bring up classified. those are the only names that will bring up classified, no others. No matter what you type in, unless it is one of those names, you will get a no employee found. That is just how the code is, it isn't checking a database or anything, all of the responses are written inthe javascript. In the member login,no matter what you type in there, you will get a pop-up saying that it is wrong and that it is being reported. I am just making sure that everyone understands this (unless the code has been changed......................) because I an someone else looked it over and that is the conclusino that we both came to. This is probably why the blogger said that CLASSIFIED stuff brings empty something or another....because there isn't a single name that will get past classified. Anyways, just try to look for thosenames in the show and on the blog and try to connect the dots.

Thanks for the guys name. (thank you for the welcome)
Well just for the heck of it, I did a search for LWK. It brought up computer software called, Light Weight Kernel. (or something like that).

And I have to agree about the red letters possibly spelling something out or having some sort of meaning. And from now on, I am writing down every name I hear. lol. Even if it doesn't seem important. And I think I'll even follow your theory about the red letters and start writing those down as well. So far, I have a W. Did anyone see any other red letters or symbols or anything like that?
