Background info

[syntacticAtrocity]

i, on the other, crave IG character interaction. the puzzles are nice, but the interactive storylines are what draw me to ARGs.

unfortunately i'm so busy these days, as i was with 'I'm Sorry', that i can't really lend time to perusing every blog post and following the story verbatim.

i can help where i can, but the current format for ARGs (forum-post based) makes it difficult to keep up.

there is a new blog post up:

Re: Background info

[syntacticAtrocity]

picture is up.

CT is BLACK
P is PINK
HPC is BLUE
F is YELLOW
W is GREY
A is BLACK

I have no idea what it means.

the only thing that jumps at me right now is this:

CT P HPC F W A
SU T TON H O O

don't know if it's even close to relevant.

Not sure if this will help or not, but they're likely stops on the London tube....

Color coded by line [i.e. CT - on the black line = Camden Town, P - on the pink line = Paddington [Plaistow?], HPC - on the blue line = Hyde Park Corner, F - on the yellow line = Farringdon, W - on the grey line = Waterloo [Westminster?], A - on the black line = Angel [Archway?]

There might be other possibs, but the HPC = Hyde Park Corner is what has me sold on the tube... no clue what y'all have to do with it tho.

I emailed Darcy with our theory and my thoughts, although we seem to be on the right track (pardon the pun) im not sure weve cracked it. HEres her reply.

The British Museum does seem to make a lot of sense, but I've looked
and not all those stations are seven stops apart, are they? I can't
find any way of counting that gets me from Waterloo to Angel in seven
jumps.

Still, I'm eager for something to do. I'm going to head down to London
and buy myself a daysaver for the Underground and check out all these
stations. Maybe there's something there that will help me figure out
where to go next...

[brownowl23]

heres a new blog post too

See, another morning I wake up and you've figured something out! Some of you noticed that the coloured letters are likely to stand for Underground stations on the London underground network.

I can't help feeling that maybe you're supposed to do something with these six stations once you've figured them out, but nevertheless I'm eager for something to do, so I'm going to head down to London to check it out. One daysaver ticket for the London Underground, coming right up...

I'll let you know if I find anything in particular. Meanwhile, you all keep looking at this puzzle, see if you can find me a destination that everything points to.

Tube

[syntacticAtrocity]

Here's the question, then. The British Museum is indicated by the Tube map and a specific location inside the Museum is indicated by the Number code.

However we've already talked to Darcy about the Museum being the location. Perhaps she just needed that extra nudge?

We should suggest that she takes a trip to Room 41. Maybe the Helmet is missing, thus beginning the adventure?

[META] I think the PM thought that we first solve the Tube puzzle and than find the helmet that is displayed there. Unfortunately the 1939, 10-10, 93 : R41 hint directly lead to the British museum without solving the tube puzzle, which was - by the way - a perfect designed puzzle
[/META]

I have sent Darcy the "correct" solve.
