 		There are also full screen one colour frames (a beige and a pale blue one) in the "intererences" of the new video. No idea if those might have any meaning.

Is there someone speaking backwards as well?

IF there's somthing, I think it's in the audio this time.

More about that Venus project;

Right cause so much has made sense. Like the random morse "READ THE SIGNS CONSPIRACYFORGOOD" and this video's morse too: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=706833#706833

Likely that says read the signs conspiracy for good as well (Unless it says "read the blog conspiracyofgood" since conspiracyofgood.com is a blog. Which is even worse cause it's a defunct OOG blog from 2009). Then you've got that phrase explained in the tattoo video:

"Feel free to interpret our slogan in your work: "Read the signs, there is a conspiracy for good."

So unless you want to find more hidden slogan's, I don't think there's anything to the colors. Besides how could there be. There are too few colors for a cipher, too inexact of an encoding mechanism to use hex.

The reason I'm even writing this is I'm ticked off that there are so many red herrings/lack of true game elements. I'm not going to going to decode or even look into things that appear out of game like the promotional videos you guys are all looking into. Because I think that's just it, they're all completely OOG and part of the "real" CFG.

Well than try to explain why there are still a number of codes waiting to be entered into bbg but we haven't recieved anyhting apart from the videos. And why do they bother to put colours into every promotional vid? And why are the colours more or less the same? And why would they make a normal real-life person interested in mere promotion deal with a morse code? And why is there a completely useless yet creepy audio message in the background of the latest vid? Not to mention that for a OOG trailer the Venus project for example is pretty lame. I am not saying there have to be codes anywhere but I do think this is interesting...

 		Help with suggestion
G+3=J
So, Cyngs and I were helping a new member of the conspiracy (came in through the Nokia app), and that got me looking through different cyphering methods. I'm not good at solving puzzles, but I can help research stuff, so, one of the puzzles is the G+3=J .. Don't know if this will help anyone find a solve, but try looking at the Affine Cypher:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affine_cipher
If this is part of the solve, it means this is not the whole message, just how to solve it.
Quote:
wherein each letter is enciphered with the function (x+b) mod(26), where b is the magnitude of the shift.


Hope this sparks some ideas

 		Completely forgot to mention this. I never use twitter so I'm not sure if I'm the only one who received this or not.

Quote:
Brianxcleary: @AzureWolf777 @marklowkey @kulturvulturz -- is there a time late monday we could chat maybe? 9 or 10 GMT maybe? I just fixed me connection


So either post here if 9 or 10 gmt works for you, or come in chat and tell me. I'll send him a response later this evening, when i have a better consensus.

9-10GMT is 4-5PM EST or 1-2PM PST

I think I can be on at that time (9-10GMT)

EDIT1: Edited to correct times.

 		Here's a new video, posted a few days ago already, summing up what happened after the first recap, nothing new?:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YG-D-_ahZ4w

There are a number of projects presented on that YouTube account as well.

 		Just sent an email to Marcus. It's a puzzle solve for the letter here so if you want to solve it, do so before looking in the spoiler box!

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Hey Marcus

How's it going? Good to see you in chat tonight, glad you're still alive!

We decoded the letter in that package. Basically, we had to take the notes being played in each of those 4 files, shift them by the numbers in the filename to get a password. Each password decrypts one paragraph of the letter, colour coded, in Vigenere cipher. The passwords are (in order) corvidae, sturnidae, turdidae and alaudidae, and the complete letter is as follows...

dear lowkey.

i'm pegbox. we met briefly when our mutual friend, mr north first introduced you to our organisation. i'm not sure if you remember me. you must be so very confused right now, words cannot begin to express how sorry i am for leaving you like this

i'm on my way to zambia. i will try to put an end to blackwell briggs, and that's all i can tell you. i am being followed and traced. jack is catching up to me. i'm writing this to you, should i fail.

i'm uploading everything i do down here to my personal account on babbage. phone conversations, video - everything. mobile coverage down here is pretty bad so i imagine things will drop in when i'm close to a hotspot.

the username is pegbox. the password is one of my favorite songs, written by lennon before he was shot. shouldn't be too hard for you, lowkey.

With utmost confidence in your musical ear; my legacy to you my friend.

Love

PB

We quickly found that the password is "imagine" (no capitals), and there's just a readme file in there for now. We'll be keeping an eye on the account, but you should log in too so we're all in the loop.

- Lex

 		Got the PDF wanted poster translated as best I could. It's thai script:
Code:
คุณเคยเห็นชายคนนื้ไหม
เขาถูกหมายจับเพื่อนำตัวไปสอบสวน
เกี่ยวกับการค้ามนุษย์


Google says:
Have you ever seen a man silk North.
He was an arrest warrant to bring the investigation.
About human trafficking.

A native thai speaker said:
"have you seen this man before. He has a warrant of arrest for the human trade investigation."

 		it seems that the game is finally back on

and that the pm's are going to try to lure new players on board possibly,

it might be a great time to update the wiki so that new players are turned on and not off

i can work on the timeline...but i don't know how to make new pages for all the email communications and other stuff, so if someone shows me how, i'll get crackin on it

and please feel free to add to the wiki everybody!!!
