 		Alright, well, as far as I can tell, the web restructuring is mostly complete.
The old Press&News blog has been replaced by a News page on the Experience site that just shows the beginning snippets of posts on the main blog that are tagged "Vidal's news."

The contact link still points to "support@interdimensionalgames," but maybe they want it that way...

Anyway, now that they have that out of the way, the game should pick up soon, hopefully.

New tweet from Vidal:

We are working to figure out how to advance time past March 4th...


I guess this is a nudge from the PM's saying that an update will come soon.


Or maybe we are the ones who are supposed to figure out a way to advance time??

 		Well, an idea I had for that is that the coordinates obviously have a timecode of sorts built in, so maybe we could ask Vidal to prepare a way for us to visually mess with the coordinates (with directional arrows or some such thing) and figure out which kind of adjustments change the time.
Then Vidal could write a subroutine that would automatically make those changes in real-time.

What do you think, should I pose the idea to him? I personally lean towards the PM nod interpretation.

 		Ok, definitely a PM nod. They're now telling us to hold our over-eager horses. Very Happy

 		Alright, well, Vidal just (finally) wrapped up the "short" email conversation I've been having with him regarding how this new connection(s) will affect the forum. The short answer: He has no clue.

If you want to read it in his words, here are the important snippets:
Quote:
I'm also very much curious to discover what happens when Alvarez and/or the Church in this "new dimension" figure out how to connect to our forums. Will we have two different worlds talking to us at once? Maybe with us actually being on the other side this time, they won't even bother learning how to contact us that way? What if the Church doesn't let Alvarez access their signal and/or decide to mess with him, or use him because they don't need his help? Where the hell does he fit in if he never speaks to us, and never learns about the two sides of this conflict? There are many questions to be answered!

Quote:
yes, we are indeed each experiencing the other side individually. Each connection through the rift appears to be its own timeline/dimension being opened up. I apologize but how the hell this will affect the forums, if at all, is utterly unknown at this time.

I wish I could tell you more but this is something we do not yet understand very well. We barely even understand how the original timeline managed to connect to our forums in the first place. We hope to learn more about this in the coming months as we progress and continue to monitor the experiences of the public.

 		It's the keyword you got from the burning house game in episode 1.

I haven't seen you around here before, have you payed through E1?

 		New Login Screen
Okay I maybe repeating someone else's post here but I'm being lazy and not looking back several pages.

Just tried pressing the iDGi-L button next door to the Forums link on the main screen. Got a login screen asking for keyword and then the next screen was quite weird.

See attached.

 		Thats the link to the Episode 2 desktop Seadevil.
As far as I remember it has looked that way ever since it has been released.
How to proceed:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
click on the red flashing dot and enter the Greenburg Device Coordinates (for links see my post from before)

The recap video basically shows the desktop, the files that were unlocked from beginning to end during the (global) playthrough in a fastforward style.
I just named it recap vid on because that was the first thing that came to mind when watching it Wink
If you havent seen it yet, it plays automatically so you cant really miss it

EDIT: Oh and also please dont quote such massive walls of text (especially spoilers) since that makes it much more likely that a user will accidentally read a spoiler he didnt want to read since. Unfortunately the spoilers dont collapse and are revealed by hovering :/
