Shortly after Andy's site was hacked. I may be the informant.

You have just made a stable time loop. The order of messages being sent back and forth is all messed up from your perspective. And this is not a game. You are witnessing two parties locked in a deadly hunt after each other.

Nothing else I can say will make any difference right now, so go and figure out what you you are looking at. You may get bigger surprise than you expect.

If I were you, I would also try 'λ3' (lambda3) as password, or some variant of it. 'λ' is a sign used in physics for measuring half-life of nuclear material (as in naturally occurring nuclear decay).

"Simulate, emulate, imitate..." Not...

And a message for The.Unity.

-----------------------------------------
You. Have. Sentenced. Yourself.
Your. Need. Shall. Be. Provided.
-----------------------------------------

I will not emulate, I will live it.

"Two can play this game", they also say.


Really wish you guys would read the rules before coming in here trying to give us the big TINAG Signal...

And we'd try λ3 as some kind of password, but to WHAT? Every rar/zip has been unlocked so far.

 		I've got a feeling this is going to dry up fast...

Andi's gone all cryptic on me expecting me to be able to solve his 'problem' and the GAP Unity are just telling us to 'wait it out'.

Answer to Half-Life 3, but it's just a guess on my part. I was wondering what it would produce as response.

Regarding the rules... in this particular case - there are none, since this is not a game. I just thought I should warn you to be more careful with this. You may find yourselves in a "game" of real life, instead of ARG that you expect.

Anyway, not a word more from me until I see what the next move will be. It should be interesting. Someone suggested that The Unity talks to the Hawk directly. I think that would be a smart idea right now. Let's see what comes.

Of course, one can always decide to just drop it all, and never look back at this "game" again.

See... This is what I'm talking about. Okay the next part of this is going to be completely OOG/META so I'll spoiler it.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Dude... I spoke to my cousin late last night and he got back to me about fifteen minutes ago. He is exceptionally high up in the Police Force here in London and has friends at Mi:5. "Andrew Trickett" or any variation of the name, doesn't and never has existed, on their database of any kind, including Government contractors. I did this as too many of you guys claiming that "This is not a game" keep coming here and I know it's worrying a few people.

Aside from that I happened to have been wrong about a few Counter-Terrorism Units of the Police Force having looked at both Andrew's blog and the GAP site and were completely comfortable at the fact it's just an ARG - If you have proof to the contrary by all means share it with us here and someone will get it to an admin on uF and have the thread pulled and deleted.

Otherwise please stop using uF (which in the ARG world isn't s'posed to exist) to keep nudging us into playing the game, we ARE playing the game.


Oh and just some notes to disprove your theory that TINAG.

- Andrew's Blog was set up on the same day that our esteemed "PM" posted about the GAP Site on both ATS and here.

- Mi:5 would never allow one of their contractors to blog about the IEN or the Satellite Array; were it to truly exist.

- Again, these fabricated stories in the beginning, apparently coming from 2 seperate newspapers never actually existed.

- If Andrew were seriously in trouble and knew he was (as he claims) he wouldn't be allowing Joe Public to help him out.

- No underground hacking/Cyber Terrorist "Unity" would recruit unknowns... I've been involved w/ so-called H4x0rz in the past and they stick to their own, they would NEVER allow an 'unknown' into their "family" And they wouldn't speak like Robots either.

- Any multimillion pound/dollar Organization with powerful backgrounds would never and I repeat NEVER use moonfruit.com as their hosting facility; they're more powerful than that, to be able to cover their tracks.

Need I go on?

Edit: Thinking about this I'd like to take the time to apologise to the PM's if they feel that by this post I'm ruining the fun for them and giving the ARG a lacking realistic feel - But the whole point of uF is to discuss the OOG Aspects, of the ARG. As I keep repeating it is not to be used "In Game" (or at least it's extremely poor taste, to do so). Maybe do what "48 Hours in Purgatory" did; set up an "In Game" Forum in regards to the scenario. I'm not exactly spoiling this for anyone here b/c those that come to this particular forum come to solve the puzzles and speak about the games OOG; So yeah... Sorry.

 		Come on! Just let us play and don't ruin it by posting shit-TINAG's that are nothing more than silly when using your brains!

Geebus, this was a great one until now! Hope it sorts out!

 		Hey don't blame me...

I am sick and tired of these people coming on, what we all know to be an OOG forum spouting BS about how it's real and we're all getting ourselves in danger... Etc, etc, etc.

It's annoying and I know matter of factly it was worrying some people - So I had to say something. And sorry but how can me stating the obvious be considered not making the game "fun" anymore?

I posted OOG Facts, on an OOG board; they're the ones coming on here threadjacking about how we shouldn't be "playing" and are digging ourselves deeper into a "real life conspiracy".

I actually happen to think my post was a bloody good one. These TOS Violators and Trolls need things explained to them "harshly" sometimes.

 		I want to offer a thumb in the eye to elendal and a thank you to Leyton. I'm also fed up with all the teeth-gnashing over "you don't know what you're doing", and "this is real -- scary, scary, scary..." Please! I live in the US, in the region where the 9/11 attacks took place. The levels of paranoia are still intense, and the outgoing goverment did all it could to keep people locked into that state of mind. So, yeah, I'm sick of all that.

Game on! Let's play. Cool

Edited: BTW - The US Capitol is 4.4 miles from the Pentagon. I'm going to bet that there is a source out there that says it is 4.2 miles. It's too close to be discounted, and the Caitol Building is featured in an image on the site. It's a thought.

 		Well it doesn't seem like there's much to play anymore.

Andrew's gone dark.

I fired off an email to TheGAProject, no reply (As of yet, at least).

-- Although tbh, as much as it's annoying me with all these people claiming we're in over our heads. It does still bother me that Andrew couldn't give me a straight yes/no response to my OOG/Meta email a while back.

We can only hope that it will pick back up. Maybe Andrew is just more observant of the rules, or the PMs are just writing their own rules. As a noob it's hard for me to tell about that. But as an old guy who's lived a lot of interesting stuff, I know that it's absolutely not possible that there's any reality to this, so let's not start down that path.

OOG/META
Just thought I'd post this real breaking story - As it seems somewhat relevant, to our 'game'.

Quote:
November 28, 2008

Reporting from Washington -- Senior military leaders took the exceptional step of briefing President Bush this week on a severe and widespread electronic attack on Defense Department computers that may have originated in Russia -- an incursion that posed unusual concern among commanders and raised potential implications for national security.

Defense officials would not describe the extent of damage inflicted on military networks. But they said that the attack struck hard at networks within U.S. Central Command, the headquarters that oversees U.S. involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan, and affected computers in combat zones. The attack also penetrated at least one highly protected classified network.


That came from http://www.latimes.com

 		nice thing to wake up to
Well then, elendal. That was a hell of a message to wake up to this morning. In response let me just say that this IS a game, or else all parties involved are pretty inept. But then again... Shocked

Maybe I'll ask the Benefactors.
