[Trailhead] Help Me Solve a Mystery

[Will 2.0]

Looks a bit weird with the whole join up thing but I think it plausible.

I'm not sure about the game itself, but it seems that this ning.com site would be a pretty awesome collaboration tool for ARG's; one part wiki, one part forum, one part uploader.

A couple of nice crypto puzzles in there, plus another site to "crack" so I'm in...see where it wanders anyway.

I jumped right in. This is a nice one, enjoying it very much. I'm just hating that ning forum. You can respond to individual posts in a thread meaning the order is completely messed up when you go back and you have to hunt down all the new stuff. Is hellish is there are lots of posts.

But anyone considering this, I suggest jumping in. We need some help!

[ALISDAIRPARK]

It seems promising, mainly about hoaxes, spiritualism, and Sherlock Holmes, although it's too early to say where it's going yet.

The IG forum is annoying, and I keep wanting to post TIAG comments in there so hopefully we can get some discussion in here about the codes we have still to crack?

[plugs]

Hehe, yeah is hard to use the ingame forum to discuss it all.

It seems a bit static right now. The blog keeps updating with stuff that just gives us more hoaxes and such but nothing to get our teeth into. Meanwhile, we seem to have a very tough couple of puzzles to crack yet i get the feeling they wo't drive it much further either.

[ALISDAIRPARK]

Yup, I still have hopes for this, but I'm starting to have a concern it's nothing more than an advert for the Holmes thing.

I think people are mixing up the two websites (the ning site and the puzzle site)..... (maybe?) so far as I can see except for the commonality of both sites having a stickman cipher. to my knowledge, the one site doesnt have anything to do with the other. someone just HAPPENED to bring up the fact that the puzzle site also has a stickman cipher and the idea took off that they are connected....

please correct me if i've missed some information.

[ALISDAIRPARK]

Hello ncfriend, yeah the bit you missed was the enigmatized site is referenced several times in the note that was left. There's also other links in the first clues.

[ncfriend]

ahhh i see the email address now... sherlock i'm not, i guess. ;-D

[mgelles]

Some of you guys seem to have been over there a bit. Any advice for those of us jumping in? their forum seems a bit harder to follow than ours.

yes.. definitely not as user friendly as Uf.

Advice: Read all his blog entries first. and "What we know so far" which he just posted yesterday. That should catch you up.

I hate hate hate that we only have 15 minutes to edit our posts, then they are forever plastered. Makes for double/triple posts in one day thats not necessary.

Two things that helped me (when i finally figured out how to navigate).

1. click "read all forums" at the bottom of the main page to see all threads.

and 2. also each thread can have many pages that are accessed only through the page numbers at the bottom of the thread screen. (not nice and user friendly like here on UF where the page numbers are at the top and bottom of the pages).

For those who didn't notice, this ended recently and now asks players (for however long you played) to fill in a survey! If you've got a few minutes, head over and help them out.
