And I was still holding out hope!

Come on, this can't really be over... can it?

Weak... but I'll still keep checking in and digging, hopefully C n B will be back in contact...

Perhaps just in hiding for the summer?

edit: now that I look at it again... didn't the cube reference "the corporation", and EIC?

I think we may be in store for some more new information here, I'm thinking this is still going... if anything, just getting going! C n B may be out for a while, but the cube has told us about the EIC... any bets on whether or not we'll figure out who the dictator is soon?

I'm thinking we're gonna start moving away from the actual cube puzzles, or the cubes themselves, and more towards the information that we were working towards, the REASON why we were working on the cubes...

I have to agree that the message from the in-game enemy company doesn't mean the real game is over. If anything, it is a sign that the game is still in progress, only temporarily stalled, much like waiting for the cube to be hooked up or waiting for B to pull his head out of his... ego. If it were truly over, then it would be posted here, probably in this thread, that it is truly over, and by the PM's themselves.

While it does suck greatly to be left out in the cold for the moment, I do foresee more of this game in the future. As boring as it is not being able to confirm solves or unlock more puzzles, we can still work on clocks, face/orbit, the overall connection, and B's awful code. My hope is that once we crack his code, he and Cray will once again contact us.

It could be an ongoing game that the university runs. That confines movement to the semesters, but it's a possibility that it could keep going.

When did we start trolling game characters and PMs?

Just thought I'd quote myself, in case the message wasn't clear the first time Smile



At the risk of repeating myself.. again...

Okay so last week when Bertram disappeared he put this on his YT page:
Quote:
TheBrightRaven (1 week ago)
Goodbye. Always keep searching.



Now, PMs: Do you see how this could be interpreted as a mixed message??


"Goodbye." = The game is done.
"Always keep searching." = The game is not done.


Please, I'd like some closure.

Hey Dante, a while back you posted a number code on B's blog comments. It was similar in form to his secret code, so I was wondering what your thoughts were with these posts. It seems that you had a method, since you added edited versions. Where you just trying to elicit a response or clue from B, or did you have an idea for the code?

I was mostly trying to elicit a response, but yes I was going on the idea that maybe the numbers were a one-time pad like that used by numbers stations. So using the first set of three numbers, I encoded a message for Bertram that was supposed to read "EIC" (I only had three letters to play with), but as you saw, I kind of messed up and it took me a few tries to get it right.

But like most things having to do with that code, it obviously went nowhere.

In case anyone is interested:

After 7 months or so of waiting, I've recently found that 'karmaclimber' has finally updated his twitter with a few mentions of the corporation raiding the safehouse and EI's logo. Additionally, he finally started following my twitter account just this past weekend.

I'm not sure if this means that the game will start up again, or if it is simply an old player being a jerk, but I've got my fingers crossed.

For those that don't remember, 'karmaclimber' was, as far as we could determine, the one that cracked B's secret 'trust' code and from B's last post, could be in possession of the previously unknown black cube. I've found no other updates in any of the previous sources except for karma's twitter account. I do still have all the puzzle pages, solutions, and the order in my files somewhere.

Anyone still up to play?

In case anyone is still watching this thread... I noticed Cray Cook on google talk today, so I went to the electron innovations website. There's some "security breach" with code:

Hey folks,
Long time follower but first time posting on this forum,

Has anyone paid any further attention to Karmaclimber or Dallas roofer,

He has a video on his youtube page (Meetup with Dallas Roofer), the info says he left something to find, I have been pretty sure its the street sign (Vickery Park / Museum), In the process of doing some digging now.

**EDIT** Anyone able to positively ID location, I think a geocache box is close by, Unlikely to be the onyx cube huh!

I dont have ability to pull the video down and have a look for anything else at the moment, Wondered if anyone has had a play before I do??
