 		I'm not taking too much notice of Agent Nova...

However, I did want to put this out there. This is analysis of T7's sound, I have detected a clear pattern of dots, sectioned. I have split the sections wih green lines.

No idea if it means anything other than the natural sound pattern of an artificial background sound, but there it is anyway.

 		So, the new Nova Six post is:
Quote:
More transmissions have been found, Some by unreliable sources.
Masonic rule has closed the pigpen doors.
Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends.
Economics has made us partners, and necessity has made us allies.
Those whom God has so joined together, let no man put asunder.

The bit before EOM translates to:

Pigpen makes me think of pigpen cipher.

The rest of the quote is from JFK speaking in Ottawa on May 17, 1961 talking about the US and Canada.

ETA - Guess the pigpen cipher is also known as the masonic cipher.

well it turns out the "troll" seems to have the same email, so they might be trying to confuse us. Can anyone who can go on the chat please?

 		I can't imagine that website being used as part of the game.. so it must be fake, surely?

Ok, google groups is really usenet. Usenet is completely unregulated. I'm fairly certain it is quite possible to fake an email address with a 3rd party news software like the one mentioned at the bottom of the probably fake post.

 		Ah, ok the two links at the top of the page are the same. The second link from 'NovaAgent' is here:
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.conspiracy/browse_thread/thread/adb968b587aa41ff#
which is the same as the jack on the previous page here. Guess we can't trust anything from there now, or at least if they are tagged with that app.

 		Fake
The latest two Google Groups (usenet) posts, and the "Nova Agent" posts are most likely fakes. On Google Groups, click "More Options" then "Show Original". Compare the original, actual Nova Six posts, posted from the Google Groups interface, with the latest posts, posted from an Astraweb account:

 		Yep, I'd say call 'em both fakes. And if the PMs are reading, I think you need to find a new outlet for information.

 		I've emailed gknova6 to see if they can a) clarify it definitely is fake, and b) to get the hell ON with it hehe ( I didn't say that obviously!)

 		Well I wasn't planning on it, but I think I'll poke around for leads on Nova Six (not Nova Agents) new post. .

Okay, I just re-read some of the stuff I skimmed earlier. Looks like I spent 15 minutes of my life on a fools errand.

By the way I am assuming B6=Bender 6=me. Can the more experienced ARG people please tell me where on the hierarcy of ARG accolades being "called-out" by a troll places me. Mr. Green

 		I have definitively proved you can spoof emails on usenet/google groups:

http://groups.google.com/group/alt.conspiracy/browse_thread/thread/adb968b587aa41ff#

ETA: Nova Seven is me.

 		Seems like every time J.J. Abrams does something dramatic, we attract all sorts and get things like this pretty much in every game.

I find myself being more of a mentor than a player at this point. Razz
