AJGUCVIZQP was the code then? Seems like there was something else going on with the file... Either way, Code Monkey seems satisfied. Excellent job, Coffeebean!

Is there a bilingual individual amongst us? Someone mentioned earlier that they spoke Spanish. I need a translator, stat!

ETA: Is this the end of the ARG? We helped expose Ecstaticorp for trying to spy on people, but do we know they're responsible for Alex's death? I guess a transcription of the audio file would help...

I think it's definitely over. Can't say I am sorry and the grade I would give the college students..... D- Mistakes mistakes mistakes and slow slow slow... not really the way ARGs are run. They spent more time posting out of game blogs (oh yeah, they didn't even know what OOG meant) then running the game. They were saying that the purpose of the game was to study results of the game itself, but they failed (IMO) to even run a game to study. The only thing I will give them is 'not a quitter' status. Even when they knew they should have just dumped the entire project, they attempted to salvage some of it. Poor first attempt, but hopefully if they ever try this again, they will be more prepared.

I am going to burn a copy of the spanish wav file and send it to school with my daughter, to have her spanish teacher transcribe it for us. I don't expect much from it.....it was apparently a conversation between Alex and Sophia.

So, HurtstoHeal is still going..... a freezer and a digital camera for breakfast tomorrow. It was moved to Chaotic Fiction here is the main thread, but look around, there is a lot more.

I haven't been following this enough to know all the character names, so forgive me if I did get the names incorrect.

Nighthawk: Thanks! Your translation is much appreciated. Smile

Makes a little more sense now.

This arg leaves me with an empty feeling. I mean, it's a short arg with ONLY online communication, a hard puzzle ( I don't count the semaphores as a puzzle as much as I count it as a cop-out to end it quickly) and the most abrupt ending to an arg I've seen that didn't die. All in all, I expected a lot more. C-.

Thanks for the game, Jeff! I'll send an email your way in the next few days. It's a shame to see Project Loyola end so abruptly, but given your situation, it's understandable. Thanks for all the effort you put into this ARG. I look forward to reading your documentation!

Jeff, I have to second Omega's message. Although there were some hiccups, I did enjoy playing. Not only do I look forward to reading your paper, but I hope that we can get copies of the original plan for the game so we can see how much we deviated. I will be sending an e-mail as well.

Ditto to Larry and Omega's messages. Even the game was too slow -which is understandable-, it was fun. Thanks for all the effort.
