The binary comment in the id3 v2 tag converts to "Everything comes together in time."

The binary in the id3 v1 comment tag appears to be nothing in ASCII but as decimals is 4 5 7 6 6 5 7.

I wouldn't say it's "nothing", I get "Eve" plus a void box which is not totally gibberish.

I recall talking to... Sequoia, I think it was, this morning, and she said that somebody on the UI forums got the same email, but it was sent to an email that they did not sign up for Gateway.

Oh yes it is Eve, the binary length is not a multiple of 8 though. So there's a spare 0111 (or 7) at the end.

I really should have posted this earlier, but I and a fair few others think that this email was just a 'meta' thing rather than an in-game clue, or a puzzle.

[META]
ARGN had sent out an email to those on their list about Project Gateway which suggested that one should excercise caution as the ARG used free sites, a fair point by all means.

My interpretation of Misunderstood is that it was a reply to this and similar sentiments that have been expressed about Gateway. As in, "Don't misunderstand this ARG, you'll see in time how it all fits together".

A supporting thing to this would be that the email was not sent to any addresses that have signed up as players - we've clearly already bought in, so don't need to receive this message.

Seqoya's spec sounds right - I'm willing to believe it. Also, I'm not willing to believe that there's more to that damned butterfly picture. Smile

I also heartily enjoy the idea of an extremely minor puzzle being used in this way.

This seems to be something to do with the second half of the riddle we just got:

I'm going to try layering the two songs on top of each other in various ways. They're the same length so this might be what we're supposed to do.

(Note: just did a straight one on top of the other--nothing interesting on listening except that it sounds kinda cool. Smile

)
