Haha, I've found two leads on new stuff for the two ARGs I've played today!

This Is My Milwaukee had Lipps Leroux's birthday on Facebook today, with Mars Madison commenting on her page, so it might not be totally dead, and it reminded me of Electron Innovations, so I went to their page and saw the code and decoded it and came here to post the new website Razz

Edit:

It's easier to see the message with the contrast cranked.

So, "Rusty" and "Shiny" are offline, but "Ice" is active and has scores in it's "LIST", but no puzzles.

"TARGET" points at the "Silver Cube"
"HELLO" returns "Hello Builder"

Did we see this, before? I thought all we ever got was, "Hello Sailor".
ETA Shell commands are all different responses, now, too.
Ex: GREP now returns, "you look for a grep and find one but accidentally lose it..".
"MAN" references a gold cube

I have just noticed it aswell, I found the command3.php file on ei which was set to hello sailor for everything.

Looks like we have something new to play with

D/L ing the A1 page now, to see if it's new. But it's taking forever.
Edit:
Gah! forgot how hard it was to get these to convert/display.
I must've dropped a line from the terminal somewhere. My final file has a good jpg header and trailer, but it won't display.
Too late tonite to start over.

just waiting for a1.3 to finish then i can play around with it

Edit

Sorry for being the newb to all this round here but the images are the same as before, check

www.joffcom.net/ice_cube/A1.htm

i also have a way to show the images without having to put them into a decoder, just use an html page and save the image as a jpg so much easier providing your not using internet explorer it dosnt like it.

Any other ideas on this cube?

Where is the ice cube? I don't see it on either site.

By the way, that image above of the spots was from the original cube.

For some reason the cube won't let me solve the page, which means there must be something else to it.

The Grid also appears to actually mean nothing as there is a z1 page aswell which for me contained the base 9 image, I would take a guess that the correct command will lead to the cube master and kick of the onyx, or the ice cube is just a practice cube

I am really reluctant to even play this game after the terrible PM job last time. They basically made us solve all of these puzzles then completely dropped the game with no explanation and without telling us what the puzzles meant or was supposed to lead to. I get that its a school run thing, but they should handle it better or plan it out better. And if nothing else, make some oog statement to let people know what's going on. /rant

As for the ice cube, if you try to view any of the pages, it says you must prove you are human first. I tried a bunch of different commands but can't figure out how you're supposed to prove it.

I don't have a problem getting the grid pages up seems to be no problem with them, I got the prove your human on another command but can't remember which.

Is there a decent list of commands the one on ei forum sucks

A new crowdsourcing website, Electron Innovations is conducting an experiment about a cube console with the help of the crowd worldwide up to now. They discovered the garbled text was actually an image, discovered by Squid808 the one who posted it to the forum and their site want to thanks to the group who started transcribing the text by hand to figure it out.
Bertram has now created a way for all who have offered to help to interact directly with the cube.� I'm still amaze what is the main purpose of their experimentation and I'm eager to know the results this coming week. I will update this post once i've hear a news from them. You may visit their site at
