 		Reading through the twitter account mentioned in the news release (glad you noticed that DLT). Vidal talks about finding different ip addresses...

Quote:
found multiple hidden IP addresses now, each one leads to a diff msg hidden within our spacetime - attempting to find source of messages...


...going back to the ip address I tracked, I found several other messages at different ip locations. I separated the last two, because they seem to be warning us about Henry, so probably not Henry who posted them.

Be wary of Worldview Industries... they are not who they claim to be.

It is the thing that calls you Seeker you should not be listening to. Everything he is feeding you is false. The Guardians will return and until then we must protect ourselves from... him.

 		holy shit, the plot thickens... has anyone actually found any of those IPs within any of the ZIPs given to us? If we can find where they are hidden, maybe we can find more... I looked through I think all the .txt files we were given and only found the one enaxor responded to.

 		Interesting, so apparently this guy calling us Seeker is bad? I guess we need to start asking questions - but who to contact? VDesertch seems to be in the same position as us but unwilling to give out info that is "dangerous" to us, and we're told not to trust this guy who calls us Seeker (Henry?) and we don't even know who it is thats warning us or how to get in touch, do we?

 		I think its a little weird the first one says "You cannot trust a word I say."... why the heck would she/it/he say that about her/it/himself??

...is a classic paradox, akin to "This statement is a lie." Not sure if that matters, but there it is.

 		By the way, enaxor, how did you find those extra messages? Were they hidden in the zip files too?

No not hidden in any files I saw, in fact maybe I wasn't suppose to find them yet. How I found them, I went here and typed Henry into the search box. It didn't exactly give me Henry, but it showed all the comments posted on all the ips in descending order by date. I started looking through the comments, but be careful, some comments are from people who were hacked. I noticed all the messages seem to be on ips that start with 217.82.1xx.xxx

 		aye that's the purpose of that site... if you get hacked or have an issue with an IP, you can post about it there. Also if they didn't want us to see that, they would have waited to post the messages later... its really quite easy to find...

 		Since so far all the messages on these IPs have been on IPs that are 217.82.X.X, I think we can safely use this page to look out for possible updates on this side of things. Not that it hurts to keep an eye on the main page in case they change IP that they are leaving messages on.

There is one IP, 217.82.111.29, on that page that we hadn't yet looked at, but its contents seem as yet irrelevant so I would assume its just a coincidence that all other IPs beginning with 217.82 have been in-game.

 		Here's some screenshots of "the symbol-matching game," if someone wants to run them against the ProjectB6 symbols.

I don't have time for it myself, but this can narrow us down to 21 symbols. Also, I'm curious if there's any reason for the way they're arranged in the "game."

...What I'd give for more hours in the day!

 		Comparing that image with ProjectB6 makes me think it really just is a way to figure out the order to place the symbols, I reckon we're just wasting time looking more deeply into it than that.

 		Vidal Desertch
I'm not sure how relevant this is, but I found it interesting. I Googled "Vidal Desertch" and got this under the "did you mean" part: A website about a tree covered in shoes as an environmental statement. Probably not very important to the plot of the game, but it seems to go along with the environmental theme i noticed in Employee 1195s blog.

 		So, I tweeted @VDesertch I reversed the IP address. I still got nothin', and he replied @chezzo for safety reasons I cannot give out a direct address atm - feel free to email me which IP you have found and I'll try to help.

I emailed him this:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Okay, these are the ip addresses I've gleaned from the audio files on he that calls me seeker.

217.82.107.7 217.82.111.29 217.82.122.195 217.82.125.62 217.82.127.192 217.82.127.213

I have plugged them all into a browser window and nothing works. When I plug them into a web search however, it gives me these pages.

One of them leads to a couple youtube videos, but nothing else. Here they are:

NIN - Piggy

NIN - Head Like a Hole

He also seems to be warning me against Worldview Industries, but I can find hide nor hair of them.

But I've hit a wall. Nothing seems to be working. Even Hangman seems to be broken.


He replied with this:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Hello Sean,

We too have found those links associated to the IP address's. We attempted to find their source by getting into the log files of the website. Unfortunately when we accessed the exact time the messages were posted, we found nothing in the logs to help us. No IP address or trail of any kind was left. They seemed to appear out of thin air...

Somehow then it seems the messages are being posted into our world and so far we've only been able to determine their source is directly connected to the files we are all pulling from the other dimension. Some of the .txt files and even the .GIF have had these IPs hidden throughout them. Two of the IPs you have listed however, we have yet to find any connection to the files from the other dimension. 217.82.125.62 and 217.82.127.213 seem to be only on that ipaddresser website.

Also, as for Worldview Industries: they are mentioned in the two page timeline this Employee 1195 seems to have written. At first it claims they are an environmental agency of some sort, and then toward the end Employee 1195 mentions they are his employers.

The music videos: although I don't fully agree it's more than a coincidence, my brother Thrie has a theory about those. He believes the lyrics of the songs we've been given have a purpose and should be examined. I can't help but agree that their is an extreme difference in lyrics between the two Nine Inch Nail videos given to us from that IP - and the lyrics from the videos we have received through the .txt files. I just don't, however, believe its worth spending precious research time on.

The hangman game we too have noticed and don't fully understand what is happening there. Earlier, for almost a full day, the symbol changed from the smiley face to a panicked looking stickman running around the screen. Now however its back to the smiley and seems to be broken. Very strange indeed.

So as it stand, we have "hit a wall" as well, so to speak. Most of our focus is now being put into piecing together the incredibly complex audio "puzzle" the entity (Henry we believe now is his name) has been giving us. Our main question here is: why doesn't he/she/it just give it to us outright? Why the game?

-Vidal Desertch


We didn't find any IP addresses in any .GIFs, did we? Maybe it's in there through steganography.

Actually, if you look at frames #52-53 of that animated GIF, you'll see the IP address: 217.82.107.7

Didn't think to look there before now. I think they need to ixnay the audio files.
