Just realised my account was hacked.
I'd ask Ben to step up procedures, but could someone please change my password then email me? Thank you.
Chloe


Looks like something may be happening.

 		I hope so!

Just having a little more fun with Chloe's account whilst we still can.

Her second post:

Quote:
Forgive my incompetence with IT, Sir.

I realised that I had entered the password incorrectly. All is still secure.

Chloe.


Just to cause a bit more confusion and suspicion.

 		Welcome Sirannon. Of course it's not too late... Smile

EDIT: The PM is having some internet difficulties at the moment, hence the relative lack of action. The PM has also said that normal service will probably be resumed ASAP. We've got to sit tight and look forward to the brilliant ARG's resumption.

 		Apologies for the double post...

Chloe has received a new PM from Jayden:

Quote:
I thought something was up.
As such, I've not yet done the task - but instead have prepared him for the next full moon - it seems November's full moon will have blood after all...
Alongside this - do you knopw how your account was hacked?
I will confess I am unsure of how to change the settings myself - we need to hire someone but this matter is more pressing - Kat is uneasy about her balance in Edinburgh - and the technology is failing us.
Perhaps a delay? Samhain's dark moon has been focused upon later before - unwise, but better late than never - what do you think dear friend?
Jayden.


Stuart is still alive, but not for long. November's full moon is on Sunday 21st.

Interesting revelation about Kat and the failing technology. The silver heart seems to be doing its job.

Chloe.
There seems to be two voices here - pm me with the answer to this:
What TV show did you get inspiration for the name you named your shop?
If you cannot answer this, then your account will be altered to a password that only you will know.
Jayden.

EDIT: Thinking: If Chloe's account has been hacked and she needs someone else to change the password, how did she post under her login?!

EDIT: more OoO issues Very Happy

As we are all aware, the technology has been changed drastically due to the viruses that were uploaded. As such, and as I am not comfortable about going through a gate alone without guidance, I will offer the standard sacrifice and not proceed through.
Apologies #Alpha and all but I cannot serve if I cannot hear and receive you. we need to sort out the problems asap - what is this hellensbach virus that keeps flashing up on my hard drive?

Katherine.

Oh lookie, it's Bens bands album cover.

EDIT: Just had a weird stupidly quiet text to voice generated phone call, asking for my help, "he" stated that Stu had been taken when I asked if it was Stu or Ben. I also asked if it was Aspen. Anyway, he stated he was scared, and did not give me instruction when I asked how may I help.

 		Vlad's quotation is indeed also from Ophelia:

You must sing a-down a-down,
An you call him a-down-a.
O, how the wheel becomes it! It is the false
steward, that stole his master's daughter.

She's just about lost her wits when she says this, and nobody knows what she's referring to (if anything, given that her mind has gone).

Maybe it's just a reference to Vlad's lost mind...but which Vlad posted it?

Oeagrusson Calliopeson
Fear: The lion and tiger become a type of Minotaur. If his memory fully returns, the potential for balance will be lost.


EDIT:
The quote about the Fischer King is about a genius chess player, Bobby Fischer:
"A chess genius," wrote George Steiner, "is a human being who focuses vast, little understood mental gifts and labors on an ultimately trivial human enterprise. Almost inevitably, this focus produces pathological symptoms of nervous stress and unreality." http://www.bobby-fischer.net/Bobby_Fischer_Articles50.html
No joy for the Minotaur line.

 		Nice work Smile

The 1111... line contains a latitude/longitude reference:

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=51.468458+-0.087W&sll=51.468414,-0.087034&sspn=0.010854,0.012167&g=51.468458+-0.087&ie=UTF8&z=16

Which is the Institute of Psychiatry in London.

Clearly madness is a developing theme here.

I believe this is our previous IT fellows bands album cover or at least his bands artwork.
I have heard of instances where a disgruntled IT employee will set something up where if they do not say, input a password or logon for an amount of time, a set of instructions will action causing issues, anything from harmless messages on users machines, to completely wiping/destroying hard drives. I do not know whether traditional anti virus or spybot programs will be effective, I have a hunch they won't be, but it does not hurt to scan your machine with a respected program.

Thank you Tate for this - the image reminds me of a puzzle I had when I was... younger. Can you interact with it Katherine?
Tate, is this image the same as the album cover or has it been changed in any manner?

You are correct, Sir. The word at the bottom normally reads Moon, and now reads Mono. Here is the original:

It does indeed look like a slide puzzle.

Tate - my thanks.
Katherine - can you interact with this 'puzzle' then?
If not, then I fear the answer may be perhaps the amount of moves it would take for it to be returned to the original?
As we are preferably needing the machine for you to enter - I will give you until the end of the week to solve this - if you cannot find the minimum amount of numbers it wouldn require, then I'd suggest the basics - we have to move on - the scenarios are changing quickly now as the time gets ever closer to the full moon.

Until then
Jayden.



And a PM

Tate - your ever present mind and wits have potentially saved us some time and effort my thanks - this will not be forgotten.
If you could assist with Katherine - I'd not advise the downloading of the virus itself - but perhaps your artistry skills could assist and work out the moves anmother way? You may have others who could assist as well perhaps?
Jayden.


The last line on the Helansbach album cover reads Mono, rather than moon.
I'm not so good with slidey tile puzzles.
A cursory Google search finds a method, but I have not tested this.
I have replied to O that (in German) I request a Schnauser with my Weiner Schnizel, a Top Secret reference.[/quote]

I'm able to move the pieces around - tried a little - when I start, a button labelled reset appears and a number counter appears, with a typing box input underneath?
It does however now come up with a warning:
"After three inputs, this machine will self-erase all programming Enjoy. SH."

Can't we just torture the info out of the creep?



EDIT: Is there anybody out there?
Vlad has posted a new video on the occasion of his birthday.
It shows a pendullum in the background, swinging back and forth.
First shot on the bottom right hand corner is a Meadow Brown butterfly.
Second is black and white image of possibly the three fates.
Then an indistinct monochrome image.
Forth is an either ceramic or silver wolf head.
Fifth is an illustration with Alice talking to the Red Queen.
Sixth is wolf again.
Seventh is an LED clock at 11.11
Eighth is a photo of a street at night with two cones.
Shot of the wolf again... ah I think it's a sculpture on a corner in London facing two sheep across a road.
Tenth is a photo of a clock at 6 o'clock but the right side is on the left and vice versa
Eleventh: Wolf again.
Twelfth: Opposite facing sheep from the wolf statue
Thirteenth: is a Grecian style round image
14th: Ram again
15th View across the chess board from the second chapter of Through the Looking Glass.
16th Another shot of the sheep sculpture
17th and again
18th Not sure what that is
19th I think it's the lamb from the sheep, ram and wolf sculpture.
20th Ram.
21st Road near the sculpture
22nd is a speed sign near the sculpture
23rd Poppies in black on a red background
24th Not sure what this is.
25th Clock again
26th Butterfly
video fades to black at 0.59
Video lasts 2.29

Info on the sculpture:
metal sculptor Leigh Dyer was commissioned by Southwark Council to create a wolf, ram, sheep and lamb. It's on Denmark Hill.

KatH - no.
We don't do that.
Tempting - but no. We are increasing our humanity - not becoming base humans but integrating our instincts and our intellect.
A simple sliding puzzle - has NOONE solved it yet?

More tweeting from the big O. I feel at a loss as for what to do, though. Doesn't help that I've been distracted from the world of ARGs once again, either.
