I looked into the stars, I waited for the message. I am in between. People are waiting for my message, and I am waiting for the message at the same time. I am forced to spend my life waiting. It makes me sick. I want you to be with me, to feel what I feel. Maybe my emptiness will not feel as big, if I share it with somebody. Would you like to join me.

I will make it easy for you. Simple and earthly. Joyful and resourceful.

ADRESTCHITLCOTL!

I want you to say it on video or write it on paper and photograph it. If you are not ashamed, then you can participate.


I tried ROT13 and DVORAK on ADRESTCHITLCOTL! and google turned up nothing. I thought it might be another Aztec reference (like the son of QUETALZCOATL or something). Anyway sounds like he wants us to record it or write it on paper and send a picture...somewhere.

Just spit-balling here:
Aside from not knowing where to send the video/picture, I've been playing with the word or name.
There are a few hundred anagrams (like CHICS TOIL AD LETTER and TOTAL CHILD CREST), but those dont seem to get very far.
Based on my extremely limited and novice understanding of Aztec, I broke it into three parts (possibly four).
ADREST - nothing even close I've found in Aztec (Nahuatl)...
CHITL - this seems to mean "flower", usually as Xochitl
COTL - there are two possibilities. COTL itself doesn't seem to come up, but COATL = snake, while CATL = god. Given the number of other misspellings on the page it may be permissible...

So the best I can get so far is (something)-flower-god, but as I said, I'm a complete novice here. So far no comments/posts as to where we send the picture/video.

He/She is not asking us to post a link with the image/video.

There has to be more to the puzzle then writing those letters down on a piece of paper and taking a picture of it, isn't there?

I've been working on it, but haven't hit anything that seems right. So I posted the word/name to see what reaction I'd get...

I was trying to find out if ADRESTCHITLCOTL could be a Vigenere cipher, especially since that bit about "if you are not ashamed, you can participate" sounded like a clue to "PROUD" being a keyword. Nothing came out of that, though. It was probably just a pipe dream, as I imagine the chances of taking one word, encoding it using a different word, and getting a back half of a ciphertext that looks an awful lot like an Aztec word are fairly low.

Becka's second dream

I may have stumbled on this, Becka's large 2 may be linked with the other guy's blog. with the letters he states, simple, earthly, joyful, and resourceful. I have found out that the aztec god Tlaltecuhtli is the earth god, lord of the day for days with number 2. may be nothing, but then again who knows!

I'm going to go out on a limb and say we have a new blog connected to the game:

http://resurrectthetruth.blogspot.com/

Edit: or maybe not.

Yes I saw this as well. Strictly speaking, I tend to agree that it looks connected, at least in the periphery if not directly. Since there are three ARGs coming from ARGLabs (and there has been mention that they'll tie-into one another) this makes sense to me.
The "Truth is Dead" blog mentions the meddling man, and an earlier post mentions something that could be put in motion that would change the world.
The "Iknowwhathappened" blog clearly states that he/she has decidedly set something in motion.
Lots of new info to process tonight, but I'm left guessing where this intersects with the Becka Belle thread.

Oh, and just a wild passing correlation I had - along the lines of CHITL being flower and CATL being god (something flower god) - we have MariGold Systems, and the common US mariold is the "Aztec Marigold". Smile

http://resurrectthetruth.blogspot.com/ was a blog by a character named Bertram Bosworth (or maybe it was one of the other characters. I can't quite recall) in the ARG Electron Innovations.

And according to ARGN:
Quote:
...while [Adam] Brackin averred that Electron Innovations would not be returning as a direct product of ARGlab 2.0, characters and in-game assets from Electron Innovations have been slowly ramping up its activity with the introduction of yet another mysterious cube.


It's worth watching, especially if you played electron innovations (a rather fun ARG except for the abrupt ending) but it doesn't look like it will directly tie into this ARG or the other 2 from ARGLabs.

Bertram Botsworth's blog

Yes, the name Bertram Botsworth is correct. He seems to have a very interesting blog where he asks for help with various aztec symbols that have to do with a possible future and past date as well as some kind of aztec riddle. Having trouble with the dates tho. Rolling Eyes

The Marigoldsystems.com website's "employee access" page is back up and asking for a password. Going through the obvious ones now

Marigold's Company News has updated. One typo found there is the Employee PW to submit which opens a Personal Log.
PW solve below. Also, Becka has had a new dream with another puzzle pic.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Employee PW is Texcoco (an acient/important Aztec location http://tinyurl.com/y5oylay)
