Does anyone see any kind of pattern or potential code in the Hard Truth chart? Seems like it would be a waste if it doesn't have a secret message.

I would guess you need it with this new email just through;

Quote:
Dear fellow ColeFusion activist,

We have uncovered evidence that links these ColeFusion's employee's to fraud, patent theft and embezzlement. We cannot allow the big wigs at ColeFusion to continue with these illegal actions.

We must work to bring these criminals to justice.

With a new table.

Why even include the columns with no Xs in unless it means something?

I think these tables are supposed to give us the drop location. Though how, I've no idea.

Also, I replied to Mary's request for writers.

Quote:
Hi Mary,

I'd love to be involved! I've been writing for the departmental magazine at my university for the last six years, and was three times nominated for the 'Top Einstein' award for most popular columnist. I've had a few minor papers published too. I'm particularly interested in communications technology; that's the subject of my PhD so I've done a lot of reading around that and writing about it.

I'll add a sample of my writing below, just article sized. If you need anything more just let me know.

Clap-on Lights: Not just science fiction

You've seen them in films, you've seen them on the television. But clap-on lights aren't just in the realm of Hollywood stars anymore; with the newest leaps in interactive technologies developed by Placno, the market-leader in innovative home-lighting solutions, being able to turn lights on and off at the merest of hand-claps is well within the reach of every home owner.

Intelligent sound triggers that learn the sound of your clap and can easily differentiate it from other snappy sounds around the home are the real key. After all, you don't want your lights snapping on and off every time you get out of your chair.

The new Placno range, including a water-resistant model for bathrooms and exteriors, will be available in time for Christmas. And with the price something that most people can comfortably afford, it won't be surprising to see the new range of clap-on lights a feature in many stockings this year.


I'm such a goof. XD

Incidentally, I think from this email;

Quote:
ColeFusion... Stop3Points... ColeHardTruth... What will they call themselves next?
The more different they appear or claim to be... the more they're really all one and the same.
Playing the ends against the middle. Rewriting history. Wiping out free choice and thought.

THE. ONLY. TRUTH. LIES. OUT. OF. THE. CITY.


That we've been making the incorrect assumption that CF are responsible for the shifts. I'm thinking perhaps Declan Cole is outside all of this, that he is co-ordinating the two groups who are pro and anti CF for his own purposes. Whatever they are.

Some of the names on the employee chart are unfamiliar. Anyone know who they are? When I compared the two charts I noticed that in some of the columns all of the X's matched. No idea if that means anything though.

Who are the other names in that chart? Other than Declan Cole, and those on the executives page, I dont think ive seen them mentioned anywhere.

Ricky Brady
Louis Wright
Fredrick Chambers
Jane Odomo
Ace Jackson

Are they players from here? Or did I just miss them.

I wonder if the initials are meant to mean anything, and that's why we've got new people we've never heard of before.

Ace Harrold and Ace Jackson? What are the chances?

Hi guys,
OK I might need your help on this one to make sure I get it right.
I sent an email to coleTruth about my search at the bus station. I got this reply:
Quote:
Thank you for your initiative Christien,

You were in the right place, just at the wrong time. Make sure you have all the information before you restart your search.

-ColeTruth


I'm at work right now so I can't go over the clues in detail. Any ideas of when the right time is? Maybe it's when the 'theendbeginsnow' timer hits 0...

That's really helpful Christien!

I reckon the environmental email gives us a date and the other one a time. Because the environmental one has three sections (two spaces) and the other has two sections and one space.

Still not sure how though. I'll think on it.

If you add up the x's before the spaces you get:
Environmental email
3-7-6?? (the six doesn't fit seeing as it's 2011)
Criminal email
12-6 (6x10=00 on a clock)
So maybe July 3rd 2011 at noon?
I know it's a stretch, any other ideas?

Well if I'm right, that last section should somehow add up to 11. Or maybe 2011?

I might be way out with my guess. It just seems kind of logical.

With the permission of some of the higher-ups in Colefusion, I've put out my first project, available to PR people. More projects to come for both groups!

If you're interested in advancement within the company, this could be an excellent opportunity.

The two email are almost identical with just the subject matter changed. The last 5 columns for the 2 charts are exactly the same, and the other ones are almost the same.
I keep looking for some kind of clue there, but I can't seem to get one.
I even translated the X and spaces to binary... Nothing.

I have received two emails to which I have not gotten a response. The first was from thenewcarasplathotmail.com with the phrase, "just take a leap of faith" , to which I've replied with no answer. The second is from paradoxpaperssplatatt.net with the phrase "the only truth lies out of the city".

Does anyone think that maybe we are to start our own anti ColeFusion group that is outside the influence of whatever happens to everyone inside "The City"?

Our charecters have never been confirmed as in "The City" right?
That could explain why everyone's email address was left on the email from before, if we are supposed to start our own group outside the influence of ColeFusion. I think everyone on that list was mostly anti-colfusion.
And wouldn't the phrase "the only truth lies outside the city" be a paradox in game?
If so we can use my blog as a starting point, or collaborate and make a new site. Keep in mind it is late here and I just got off work!

I apologize for the double post but....

I've decoded the chart emails from ColeHard:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Its braille!!
You combine two sets of boxes at a time and it translates to:
Locker Number
I've sent them an email simply asking which one.


There is also a new article on the City Journal Post, pretty gruesome way to go!

I like this idea, although it might not be what they mean, I think it best that we document all the evidence we've gained SOMEWHERE and your blog would make a good online "base" for a resistance.

I have sent an email to Colefusion's CIO yesterday, still waiting on a reaponse, but I am gonna try and gather more info for you guys as a straight company man. Lets hope that I haven't jumped back into this ARG too late to be of some help.
