 		Strange, I have yet been able to listen to X8 so I thought it might have just been me.

 		Well, something new, though I don't know if/how it ties in to Sector 7...

go to www.chevy.com - they have a new promo game.

I went through and attempted to register, but there are some bugs in the code, so I register, and I'm in, but there's an error code at the top of the page... if I log out, I can't log in again... unless I register, with an unused email address.

Assuming I'm in, no one's really playing yet (it just launched this morning), but there's a 'code' game to unlock upgrades for your transformers... the puzzles look like fun - though I can only get to the first code puzzle. I spent an hour or so and decoded it, found the answer, but I can't enter the code unless I'm a resident of the USA. Cursing Bang Head Censored

So I can't get to the next puzzle. I tried a dummy registration, and it booted me back to the login screen. again: Bang Head


Here's a tip for those of you who actually can participate:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
the first puzzle is two parts, both are substitution cyphers. The 2nd half is the pointer to what I'm guessing is the encryption key, but the destination URL requires a login, so I had to manually solve the 1st substitution cypher. Neither are too difficult.

The 'answer' is retrieved by doing a series of instructions at a certain location.


stoopid US only sweepstakes again... bah!


All that said, I didn't see anything that seemed connected to Sector Seven... but if there is something, and it's embedded in the game somewhere I can't get to because I'm in Canada, then y'all have got to go and make us proud!

I was at least hoping to be listed as the first code solver there. *sigh* I mean really... sweepstakes I can understand restricting to US residents, but blocking out the fun of a game too? And having buggy code to boot? bah! Developers, get on it and fix it!

 		I suck at crypto, so I have no idea what it says, but if you're having trouble accessing the game, I've uploaded the encrypted transmission.

Or you can go to the direct link here (no spoiler because it's a direct link that's accessible to everyone)

 		e-mail sectorseven

To Whom It May Concern:

Due to the increased e-mails, as well as the intrusions into our proprietary
systems, our work here at Sector Seven has been slowed to a crawl. We're
simply trying to finish our newest computer game software on time, and yet
we continue to be inundated with strange queries and comments regarding
something called "N.B.E.s" and someone known as "Agent X." We have no idea
to whom or to what these terms refer.

As a result of this continuing drain on our resources, we're being forced to
shut down our e-mail system for the foreseeable future. Any e-mail sent to
us will bounce back. In addition, we're freezing our internal systems until
we can eliminate the "hackers" out there who think it's funny to screw
around with corporate networks.

If we can complete our work, we think you'll be very satisfied with the
result. Thanks for your patience.

The Staff of Sector Seven Industries


Got an e-mail...

Did you get that just out of the blue? Or in response to another email you just sent?

 		That e-mail, if it's a real one, looks to be S7 trying to throw us off the scent.

Did anyone else get that e-mail?

 		I didn't get the email... I tried emailing the addresses we know at S7, they all simply bounced, no auto-reply (which I was thinking might also have been the text of the email daan recieved)

And the podcast link is still a 404
