 		See, that's the one thing that's making it confusing, that the DFG people not only have access to our email transcripts (which makes sense ingame) but that they are watching this board as well, which makes less sense.

also.

All of my clocks are set to UTC + ((((5 ^ 2) / 4) + 0.75) - (4/2))


If I'm doing the math right, that's UTC + 5. Which is most likely Australia or France from the choices at hand.

Edit:
Quote:
Oh no, I made an error. My mistake.

My time is actually:
UTC + (((((5 ^ 2) / 4) + 0.75) - (4/2)) - 10)


Which leads me to UTC + (-5), or UTC-5.
Which is Eastern time (my time) which still leads me nowhere, as I've already checked thread and my messages for any 6:55 timestamps and there aren't any.

 		I had an idea so I sent this:

Quote:
Is this the "leader" of DFG we are speaking with?


And I got this:

Quote:
Maybe. Maybe not. We share the duty. For now you may call me The
Riddler. Because I am riddling you. Or maybe I am 3927? You always
said I was childish, that I just wanted to play,...
well i am playing now.sorry for the confusion.i will not do it again.


So, I'm guessing this is 3927 we are talking to and he is "playing". Maybe they did something to his "programming" in hibernation... and reflection mode has him set to his "bad side"

 		UTC - 5 was correct, apparently. I sent that to him and got this:

Quote:
Congratulations, you will now be able to find out what you said.
Meanewhile... let me just configure the reflection settings so you can
speak to 3927... yep, he's all yours! Reflection settings set to off,
although slightly more on than off but a lot less off than on!
Enjoy!


So it's something I said? I mean, he's singled me out specifically... but..

EDIT:
Seem to have gotten something from F himself, now.

Quote:
hello.you know what reflection does.they tricked you.the filter is
down,it takes a while to recharge after reflection mode.the filter is
down so i can speak.they tricked you.06:55,you knew it wasn't me.you
reintroduced yourself,shocked at all of my friends' progress,and you
mentioned reflection mode.that is the secret.

who is jonathan?


Wait.. so when I came back after getting some sleep.. "you knew it wasn't me", I think this means he was on reflection mode then. Wow, I'm so slow today at figuring this out.

OH. For some reason my timestamp for that post on the site is set at 7:55, not 6:55. That was what was messing me up, it's a user error, not a PM one. :/ Tricksy things.

 		Yeah. This was something you said that jumped out at me and made sense:

Quote:
reflection is activated, we should give misleading data until deactivated.

 		Agh. I did say that, didn't I.

I must apologise to all of you, I stayed up like all night doing this and then crashed at like 7am. I also posted a buttload of things on here, so I'm having a hard time keeping track of it all.

Edit:

Quote:
i do not know.they made me think i couldn't speak."the first case of
bionic Münchausen syndrome".
what is Münchausen syndrome?


Errr what. Munchausen's is basically a psych disorder of attention-seeking, faking an illness to get attention or continually going back to the hospital with a fake injury or something. Like that.

Bionic probably refers to the fact that he's a robot. Razz

 		Ah, you can't be faulted for that. Wink

I asked him what he could tell us now that the filter was off. He said he wasn't in the house anymore. I asked where he was now and he said:

Quote:
dark room.cold room.no more noises.just light on cieling,bed,computer
and fridge.


So they removed him from the cabin and he is now in a single room, that is cold, with the bare minimum. That's a tactic used to break down human prisoners for interrogation. He's apparently an AI so I guess they are attempting to use the same tactic on him.

 		If he's an AI, why would he need to eat?

Wait, XD I forgot I was only lurking this one... Ugh, that "hit the reply button" reflex is too strong... Oh, well, I might as well post the message, it's still a valid point.

 		I'm going to start laughing my head off if he's a humanoid Cylon.

(For the record I've been watching BSG with a passion but haven't finished the last season yet, so I'm staying spoiler free.)

Well all of a sudden the emails and thread went completely silent, so hopefully you can catch up easily.

 		Nah, it still works, it's just had an upgrade or two.

You have to type in the password crazy fast before the redirect hits you, and you only get three goes with the mainframe and then it goes red and locks you out. So I'd make a list of what I want to check out rather than going back every time to the HELP section. Although I don't think there's really anything new yet, but can't hurt to look. We did post basically everything from the website to here so that should save you some time and frustration. Razz

Definitely read through the thread for what you missed, a lot happened before it went quiet.

 		Lucky? Ohhh man it felt like so much pressure on me to do it right. Razz
They're all like "you know the important info already" and I'm trying to work through it all on little sleep haha. Definitely a tad bit frustrating, but fun. I'm just crazy because I love ARGs, and I follow bunny trails a lot.

Edit: Hate to leave just as you've gotten here, but I can't do the whole "stay up until 6am" thing again when I have class at 8. Laughing
Definitely will be checking in in the morning and sporadically between classes though. Good luck!
