Hello folks, I'm Dav Flamerock (you may recognize me as the guy who solved the puzzle with Shad0's expert assistance, and who helped retreive/open the skull drops).

Anyway, there's 88 pages in this thread that I don't want to read, so can someone please link me to all the relevant websites/twitter accounts so I can get myself caught up? Shad0 explained a few things to me, but I don't want to be finding any more trouts Razz

See you in chat!

Thanks again for assisting with the puzzle/drop/quest!

Let's see:

Main website:
http://thewaytheirworldended.com/

Sys (aka 'intimation') seems to be the 'emergency' system of the AI on the "Lewis & Clark," a civilian scientific ship on a mission to explore a Forerunner planet. Something went wrong, the crew members were woken out of cryosleep (and one died), and the ship AI, "Sacajawea," fractured (sound familiar?). Sys erected the Stonewall Protocol (SWP) in an attempt to try to keep things from fracturing further, but periodically (when not in hibernation), initiates 'cracks' to release some of the pressure and to allow Essy to come out and play. This page includes links to the crew mission log entries, plus the logs of the main ship AI "Sacajawea."

In the middle are links to the "story piece" pages that were created by "Essy" aka 'Pignose', the childlike side of the AI:
http://thewaytheirworldended.com/A-WHOLE-BUNCH/
[You should recognize these pieces because they appear in the video that was obtained through the recent drop: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLlGIMFoPaI ]

Another page collects all of Sys' twitters plus links to the various bits and pieces that have popped up:
http://thewaytheirworldended.com/SYS/LOG/

And yet another page collects the research that Sys has unearthed:
http://thewaytheirworldended.com/SYS/ARCHIVE/

Here is the beginning of the "maze" aka the Stonewall itself:
http://thewaytheirworldended.com/Q7J8R04J87FFJ983Q2/

The maze is a very confusing place. Essy likes to hid things in it for us to find, and Sys likes to stash potentially dangerous or "aberrant" things there as well. Some of the danger seems to come from a "hostile" network tentacle that likes to leave dark and creepy messages.


Here is intimation's twitter feed:
http://twitter.com/intimation

And here is intimations YT page:
http://www.youtube.com/user/anintimation
[Note: both of these are linked off the main page as well, under "Intimation" and "Articulation"]


Here is the twitter feed that belongs to Eridanos01:
http://twitter.com/eridanos01

And eridanos' blog:
http://eridanos01.wordpress.com/

We still have no idea what is up with Eridanos. He seems very interested in what Sys is up to, but doesn't really provide any useful information. He apparently has a wife and child. He also has a password protected blog page that we have yet to be able to crack:
http://eridanos01.wordpress.com/amber/

And finally, here is a player-created IG 'drop.io' page that was recently used by "the Society" to point us to the recent drop:
http://drop.io/twtwtwe

We have absolutely no idea who or what the Society or SFTA is.

I think that's everything. What have I missed?

Yes, thank you Dav, Shad0, enaxor, celina, belle, and everyone in the park!

Excellent, dante!

When things get hopping, I like to keep an eye on the twitter pages via twitter's search function
http://search.twitter.com/search?q=intimation
http://search.twitter.com/search?q=eridanos01

I would point out that this particular YT video gives a good basic explanation of what's going on up to that point, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7pICjI_1HE&feature=channel_page
and suggest reading through the mission logs http://thewaytheirworldended.com/missionfeed/ for the story of what's been happening on board the Lewis & Clark.
(*me contemplates a new drop.io site for the crews' bio and audio messages found in the maze, but is feeling rather overwhelmed atm.)

Is there any likeness to one of the h3 skulls? I can't tell
if there is, maybe the name of it/what it does might be something we need later

Hah, clever thinking with the Halo 3 skulls!

But yeah thanks Dante and driz for the links. I think I got the gist enough to continue from here. Smile

From what I saw in the vids from ARGfest, there wasn't much similarity at all.

The Halo 3 skulls have neural interfaces on the backs of them (indicating their owners were a few individuals who were part of the Spartan program), as well as symbols etched into them, and/or gold teeth in the dental work (a special feature of the Mythic skulls).

Additionally, the skulls in Halo do not have the bottom jaw (the better to grip them and punch someone with! Very Happy ).

Here's a good head-on shot of an Intimation skull from belle's Flickr:

Here's a head-on screencap someone took of one of the Mythic skulls:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/8356650%40N03/1678605794

Conceptually, you could argue that the Intimation skulls are similar because they are marked, but the placement of the marking and the style of the skull are completely different. Smile

I, too, am pretty much just jumping in here...intimation added me on Twitter ages ago, near the beginning, but I got busy & didn't follow up with reading here or playing until now. Thank you for that great post with all the links...I have not read through this forum thread (I have done searches on things that piqued my interest as I read the other links, but there is much I'm missing out on I'm sure), but I have read through all the system logs, mission logs, and so on, as well as some sites about Halo's story (since I haven't played the games), watched related YouTube videos, and so on...so I hope I'm ready to join y'all.

So...is there anything we're supposed to be working on right now, or are we waiting for the next puzzle?

Well, the last we heard from this Society, we were told to "wait for the sign." We're trying to find more information on the society, but it looks like all we really have so far are the images at the top of this page. So I'm thinking that we just need to keep our eyes open for now.

Nothing from eriadnos01 at the moment, but that's nothing surprising. We usually don't hear from him 'til it's close to end-of-hibernation time (which is tomorrow).
