Planet Dearth
Arg? Maybe. Or maybe just a time-waster. I can't tell.

I have "args" and "alternate reality games" listed as interests on my StumbleUpon, and I hit the website Planet Dearth (http://planetdearth.org/) just now.

In the Disclaimer the misplaced capitals spell out "This is a game" - so I signed up. I played the first "awareness game" and passed it pretty easy, and I am now on the second one. It's not Braille or Morse, I think - I'm not sure where to go after this point.

I searched the forums and found nothing - I don't know how old this is or how long it has been going. Image of the second game included - the game is just this image and a text input field, supposedly to type in the answer.

That's what I did, no luck. I also did the opposite - number of trees missing. AND I tried to find the letters for each of the numbers - still no luck. I am stuck at level two D:

OK I'm in.

I managed the first puzzle, and recevied the following e-mail

from shamanSPLATweaversofthecanvas.org

I've been keeping tabs on that Planet Dearth website since it came up, and it's all worthless. You've made it farther than anyone else I've seen, and so I feel it's necessary to let you in on the real story. You need to know what's going on behind their veil. Take a look at my website, weaversofthecanvas.org, and learn the truth.


Any one else get this? Am investigating this other site now....

ok. have worked my way through the puzzles.
got to the end, and all I got was a "hacked" page, which points me to Weavers of the Canvas.

All the games seem very *biblical* in nature.

Ugh..I'm stuck on the second puzzle too, the one with the trees. Anyone have any hints to share?

I must be pretty slow, I got stuck on the first one!

I'll try again tonight, this looks like it will be a pretty interesting piece of ARG.

Also, take a look at this: along a similar vein, either its IG or its someone with a HUUUUUGE head:

http://planetdearth.com/


EDIT: Finally made it past the first one, just had to get a couple of letters and it all fitted into place.

I don't think it's related. Also the first one is just a rotation cipher. There's your hint :3 Rumkin.com has a great set of cipher solvers if you need the help.

Hehe thanks A, but as you can see I'd already got to the bottom of it!

Still, now I'm onto these bloody trees! I think it must be to do with the live, or green, trees as the address as the top is .org/livetrees.php

I definitely need help on the second one. Just a point in the right direction. I've tried everything I can think of.

Ok, I think I solved everything on both sites. It looks like this is just a series of time-waster puzzles, still fun though the ending was a bit disappointing. I understood all the puzzles but the tree one...I got the right answer, but I don't know why it's the right answer! So I can't give any hints really, but here's the answer for the tree puzzle:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
bible


If anyone wants help with any of the other puzzles, feel free to PM me.

http://www.biblica.com/ - useful for the next puzzle!

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
1:9, 2:9, 3:9 and so on up until 11:9 and then the answer - 12:9 "he great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him."

If you've been through the first three puzzles, check the spoiler for a question I have...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The Vimeo videos you get after two and three, the ones passwords are provided for, don't load for me. Has anyone gotten to see them, and if so, what is the content?


Thank you.
