 		[Trailhead] Join the Pirates
Julius Grüneberger
I got tip from Julius Grüneberger at 7:05est, saying..well, this:

Quote:
Ahoi,

This message may seem strange to you since we don't know each other yet, though I have my reasons to do so.
My name is Julius Grüneberger and I am currently in the lead of gathering a crew and to sail between the many obstacles of life.
Time is running away, so I recorded a video message explaining the situation that we are currently in. You can see it here:
http://www.jointhepirates.com/julius-e/

Today we received something that appeared to be a top secret document. It was given to us by a member of the press and he didn't want to tell his sources of course.
You can have a deeper look at it here:

Join our Pirates Society today and help us to find out what really happened to Nils von Habermann who was a young polar scientist.
Here you can get on board: http://www.jointhepirates.com/boarding/

All Aboard!
Julius Grüneberger


ARRRg! Join the Pirates Society!

I did a search for julius and pirates society but found nothing, even though for some reason it sounds so very familiar... anyway, there it is Smile


ETA: Ahhh, there it is - http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=579452
Under "Join the pirates". But I guess it's more fitting to keep the new turn of events in this thread as this appears new to players of the previous ARG, and is international/English =)

 		So is this a new one considering the forum post was first posted almost a year ago? Don't want to get my hopes up coz I don't live in Germany but this sounds fun fun fun!

 		This is the second pirates ARG. There has been another one in the past. tThe first one was in German language. Now the second one is international. Nevertheless it is mainly based in Germany. There are a lot of live drops in several German cities.
It mainly aims for German and Dutch students. Nevertheless now all parts in English (or at least with english subtitles).
Here the story so far: http://www.jointhepirates.com/story-so-far/

 		Auz, is the following code already decyphered in the last ARG?

Picked out what looks like dots tiled lightly in the background of the dossier (attached), but couldn't make out the overlaid text that's scribbled out near the bottom. Didn't spend too much time on that part yet...

Dots looks like (in binary notation):
Code:
111010111000111
100000000111010
000000000100000
110001000110011
010010111110011
000011001111010
100011101101101
100110011110101

 		From what I know, the dossier is completely new. I posted the email you got to the IG forums at jointhepirates. I am not sure if anyone from the already registered players have received this email.

Seems like the PMs now try to recruit on a more international base.

 		Well, as far as I'm concerned, I only got that email yesterday, so... and I haven't seen any other site with the email content (yet?), so no idea if anyone else got the same email.
All I know is, that dagger is dang cool, and *want* Razz

It started around 20th October with emails, packages and even live events.
Very short story recap:
One player received a package with an USB stick and coordinates. The ccordinates led to the University library in Cologne where another packages was found. There was apuzzle leading to Munich and again a package with more coordinates found. Those finally lead to Nuremberg Zoo where the latest package has been retrieved by players.

There are several unsolved mysteries.
For more information you can look here:

(unfortunately some parts are in German)

 		Well, I got into the Navigator's Board. Lots to catch up on.

My German is really rusty, so I don't think I'll be able to read the patmo.de forums. This might be a lost cause for me. Sad
