I don't think it's finished yet, after all there are still the 'Help Lisa' messages at the end of every episode. I expect at least one final post or video from Lisa in which she'll tell us that ...
a) ...the private investigator has solved the puzzle and brought Michael back;
or
b) ... Jared Clinton found evidence that the trail leads to South America and Lisa & Jared will go there to further investigate it;
or
c) ... during his long absence she finally realized that Michael isn't the right guy for her and she now has to move on and find out who she really is. Twisted Evil


LOL
I still think that Michael is the guy that they are trying to assassinate...
Or maybe it is me Confused

There are still unsolved puzzles. If the author is also PM (as suggested by the author on some of the files found in the CD), then I suspect that his interest has dropped. I mean, there are probably less than 5 ppl actively playing and probably less than 10ppl actively commenting on the game (and very likely less than 15 ppl lurking). For an author that wants audiences in the THOUSANDS, we're probably not high priority... Crying or Very sad

I assume that the ARG was just to advertise the episodes rather than an integral part of the story telling...(although it started off as that)

ETA: Still no update, I hope they did not keep all their back-up copies on the same hard-drive Shocked Silly

 		that would be daft

though i woulda thought, at worst, they would still have the cameras' tapes to re-edit

and, of course, they might just drop it this week, since they're a couple o' weeks ahead of schedule


to be honest, though, it seems to me that most of the puzzles were just centred around links to the various sites, the only exceptiong really being desert diaries[though it's unsoled{i think :/ } , so it could be anyway

or ye know
they coulda just had problems with the actress ¬_¬

 		Episode 17
I was about to post a drool, but the new episode is up!

ETA:
2:18 is that BZZ? Beta Zeta Zeta? (lower case)

I'm not familiar with greek, what are the tildes on the script? (ie accent marks)

407: Historianova 778.997.4687

btw lol @ "so, is that you in there" Laughing

Edit2:
I'm not good at 2D barcode stuff... Confused anyone know how to get it from the pic and decode it? Sad

Edit3:
So, BZZ or Beta Zeta Zeta. About the best I can do is that it is the ISO 639 classification for the "evant" language, spoken by about 11000 people world-wide (mainly in Nigeria and Cameroon). All very interesting but very irrelevant stuff! Red Herring

I feel I need more... Confused

 		It looks like beta zeta zeta to me & I do not know what the tildes are either. Calling the number gets you the following (male voice) answering machine message:

I painted the QR from scratch & as AUZ505 stated way back on page 19 when he did the same thing for the cell phone QR, it was definitely not worth the half hour time investment to do this Evil or Very Mad. The bar decodes to:

@AUZ505: Thanks for teaching me how to paint this though Cool

Propably the voice will say: historianova.com Smile

I'm surprised. I thought that the Game would end with the series on 999.

I guess this means that we are too far ahead and that only now were we supposed to find the anioscorp site Rolling Eyes

Oh well, looks like its back to sleep for now... Drool

BTW
that's 200 for me!!!
Geek

ETA:
Just to recap (and for those who have not played the game)
When you win in the hierophant game it says:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
You climb into the bed, exhaustion overtaking you. You are asleep before you can order The Hierophant to undress you. There's not much time. Visit me at DIOCLETIANSCOURT.COM


When it says "There is not much time"...
There seems to be plenty of time here and now. But I guess the clue for anioscorp was taken in the context of the ennead series, in which case there really is not much time. I wonder if they will write to DC in the series... Confused

ETA2:
Also, the anteroom is where we find
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
JACOB
,
so perhaps this will come into play now at last?


ETA3:
As we have time to waste, I wonder if there is anything that we may have missed from the Hierophant Puzzle...So here are the salient bits (as far as I am able to determine) - I suppose I should spoiler it... Confused
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

The intercom crackles to life. "You're running out of time. The Arc is moving. The worlds are converging. The time is...now."

> examine hierophant
The Hierophant is tall, thin, dressed in the golden robes of his office.

> examine leaflet
The Arc are planning the ascension. Deciding the fate of man is not the issue. Fate plays no part in what they're planning or what they've already accomplished. The pamphlet goes on and on about their religious doctrine, the times to pray, the meaninglessness of reason and science. Should you have trouble sleeping later, reading this could help.

> examine painting
Dark figures reach up from a filthy pit, stretching their arms up to brightly robed religious figures. The religious figures faces are twisted in pain and screaming fire.

> examine mirror
You look tired after your long night of trying to figure this stuff out.

> open shower
It appears to be out of service.

> examine shower
When it's open, you get in it to take a shower. Right now it's closed, keeping you from using it.


Anteroom
The Anteroom is dark. A shuffling sound. You hear a voice whisper "hurry, they're already back, they got to her."

You can see a Note here.

The Hierophant enters the room, following you.

> examine note
The login is JACOB but what is the password..."

> go bed
You climb into the bed, exhaustion overtaking you. You are asleep before you can order The Hierophant to undress you. There's not much time. Visit me at DIOCLETIANSCOURT.COM
*** You have won ***


Questions I have from the above:
1) At least two worlds are "converging": which ones and how?
2) When it says: You hear a voice whisper "hurry, they're already back, they got to her." Who do the mean????? (If it means Lisa, what do they mean "they got to her" and who's "already back"?
3)Visit me at DC...visit who? DC is decidedly dead at present...

 		The mind reels at the amount of damage your head has done to that wall, mate. Razz

Still, it does seem like they've forgotten us... or the puzzles have all been solved way too quickly.

I got a message from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Brick Walls, requesting that I stop playing this game. But it is so addictive (even if they haven't given us anything new for a while... Sad )

Plus, it is the first ARG I've ever played, so I feel I owe it some loyalty of sorts. Smile

Now, I guess I will have to change my pastime...

Perhaps this:
Drool
Stroopwafel

(perhaps if I drool on the waffle it will be predigested and safe to eat even when I am asleep (Maybe through a nasogastric tube? Shocked )

You could use the cookie-pulp to repair the brick wall... Wink

Perhaps I can answer at least one of your questions: This is what Beale on DC answered when I asked what 'The Hierophant' meant:
Beale wrote:
I think the hierophant is lowkey's doing, though I'm guessing he lifted it from historia nova's more simple study trials. hes always been one to use things like that as a sieve–so that when he drops whatever morsel he decides to drop, the 'right people' are waiting here to feast on it.

=> visit me = visit lowkey; but he never showed up! Crying or Very sad

Or maybe he hasn't show up yet...
Remember in the timeline of the Ennead, Princess & Co. have not yet found the QR...that doesn't happen until 8/9/9 (or 9/8/9 as you guys write it Razz)
Dunno

 		man, decided to skip ennead for a while[til now]
watched the last ep, flipped out
kinda glad in a way that the episode didnt bring anything new..
though i'da been happy if there were more puzzles, of course

also, if they do make a second series of ennead, lets hope they adjust to the speed at which we burn through puzzles Rolling Eyes

Always the same problems with dates in ARGs where time is not absolute Wink

 		Episode 18
Rolling Eyes
Drool


@ 6:36:

68716
7372210

(It is not binary, hex, oct, dec, B64).
(Using it as coords, puts us somewhere in Greenland assuming NW orientation)

ETA:
Oh My Goodness!
There is an update on Lisa's Blog!!!!! Shocked Silly

She mentions DC and PW and pantheonica, but there is nothing new.
Her parents have her with some sort of "doctor" (who is a little too much into self-psychology for my liking...)

Are her parents in on it? (Wouldn't be the first parents who would know something...)

ETA2:

1hour ago in pantheonica:

Quote:
00110111001101110011100000111001001110010011011100110100001101100011100000110111


Which translates to:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
7789974687


Which seems to be related to the numbers on the box in the video!
All these updates all at once!!! Shocked

ETA3:
from lisa's blog:
Quote:
I can't help thinking about PW and the Pantheonica, and how Michael could be in the photographs.


Has someone already tried destegging the photos?
