 		Okay guys, Fairlady is not IG. I don't have any "proof" but I've played enough ARGs I think.

Jabba, just because she changed her password before you got in oesn't mean she's IG. On WP you can choose a Display name for when you post, that is different from your username. So "Hiiden" -could- be Fairlady.

There are plenty of other sites that she could have come from. The LiveJournal Community, Uniction (here), ImmesrionUnlimited, ARGn, Nordinho (like you said), 4chan, or having been contacted via IM.

I really think that we need to focus on the clues we've been given. The doors and the keys.

EDIT: Though I do admit that its odd there is no WordPress username "Fairlady" on his site, its possible that she asked for a name change like I did.

yeah, there was a great deal of RSM going on on this side of the monitor at that stage. i have invited her over to uF to join in. she isn't Hidden though as she said she found 256isjustanumber via livejournal and hasn't posted on /not/ hopefully we see her soon.

so this Hidden character has still got me thinking. whether or not Hidden is IG or OOG i still want to know what the numbers mean.

I think that Hidden is -probably- just some random spammer like a few others on his first posts, but I guess time will tell.

ok...

as far as I see it at four things are possible....


1. Fairlady is a real person. For whatever reason, she/he is unaware of the Unforum. she may have beaten conundrum into the site and changed her log in password. Slim chance....but possible.


2. Fairlady is an IG character controlled by the PM. perhaps a Non-Player character to help us along if we get stuck. I'm not sure if this type of thing is "ok" for an ARG or not.

3. Fairlady is 256 in disguise. 256 is using a fake account to gather info about us.

4. Fairlady is someone who is looking for 256 and is out to get him.

I've had a few back and forth e-mails with Fairlady and I'll post it here soon.


what do you think?

256 confirmed I was the first one in

I guess what I'm trying to say is just be carefull when dealing with Fairlady.. the questions she asks are suspicious, and noone can really explain how she managed to find the site in the first place.

her reply to my email:

I found out about it from a Live Journal post. I haven't been commenting
no, I got in touch with 256 directly. I've been talking to him outside of
the blog. I didn't realize there were so many other people involved. I've
just been reading/watching the blog and trying to figure things out from
there.


i then invited her here, but since she hasn't popped in, i guess she might still be ingame, just rather sneaky, but who knows. think take Conundrums advice here and we all be wary.

 		i know its probably not relevant or helpful, but i tohught id try to see whats on the note beside the "who is unsafe?" note.
all i can get is:

heads up (?)
your days of dreaming(?)
in your subterranean(?)
realms(?) shall soon be
halted. i overheard
our safety officer
speaking of some
"concerns" with the
safety of the paramount(?)
level.
maybe you'll be (?????)
on the surface now. in
the meantime, i hope its
not too unsafe.


(?????) is a word i cant read and (?) beside words im unsure about.

Looks like you got most of it. I adjusted the levels to make it a tad bit more readable, and here is what i came up with, which could be wrong. =P

Heads up (Mofance?)
Your days of dwelling
in your subterranian
realm shall soon be
halted. I over heard
our safty officer
speaking of some
"concerns" with the
safety of the basement
level.
Maybe ????? be ?????
on the surface soon. In
the meantime, i hope it's
not too unsafe.

Guys ... he doesn't post "new" information on the /notes/ its just a place to keep all the material together. We already know what this note says, it was on his blog.

In the meantime, I hope it's
not too unsafe."

 		I just got an idea. Can anyone find out what the name of the red paint option for the 300zx was? Car companies never call it 'red' or anything, it's always got a crazy name like 'Redline' or something. Maybe that's the key to the /300zx/ door.

Like I had said earlier, red is probably the key, maybe red in the context of 300xz. Namely, the company's name for the red that the 300zx comes in.

 		the new post contains the following number

Xestrix and I were throwing some ideas around when we thought the numbers might be the keys pressed to compose an SMS. not having a mobile with a keypad Xestrix did all the hard work in decyphering the message. results are below:

I went too far to send .avi file, did it work! curiously slow.
