So where did all this start?


It started in two ways. Firstly it was announced by Dan and Adrian Hon here on UF, and on their blogs.

Secondly, there were job adverts placed in Marketing magazine and the Media section of The Guardian in the UK. These can be seen on this Syzygy primer.

Are you guys any closer to the truth?


heh. Closer? Yes. Within seeing distance? No.

Who is behind all of this?


Again, this can be found out in the big thread linked to above. I could tell you here, but I actually feel that it's something that should be found out for yourself ;P

Quote:
Am I asking too many questions???


Nope, you're not asking too many questions, but you are asking questions to which the answers are already available. Searching is always recommended before posting to save us all time and hassle, and to prevent you from becoming unpopular Wink

You'll have notice that I moved your original post to here. This is intended as the thread in which to ask questions and get beginer advice. Us mods are in the process of coming up with a neater more organised version, but holding you breath may prove fatal.

WHAT IS "THE CUBE"?


It is an item which has been misplaced, and which we are to help find...

Hope this helps!

Visit Immersion Unlimited

And you get a lead from Bevan about the Taxi Card in the Firebox photo. This Taxi card surely has a clue! I cant read the fax number on the card tho.


jjg23, this was posted on UF three days ago in this thread, entitled "[UPDATE] The Cube in Firebox Catalogue". Please read or Search before posting - it makes life easier for all of us Smile

Thanks,
Fi

 		I am sucked in by this, and I have only been here two days...but thats not why I'm posting. I actually just wanted to let everyone know that I am going to try and blog this stuff with Syzygy. Hopefully it will be helpful to you all and feel free to give some input. Oh, the address is http://dfpapers.blogspot.com/
Glad to be a part of this!

I don't understand this. Why are people reading so much into certain pictures and things when the game hasn't even started? Surely all clues etc will be given in the game? And I don't think any clues would be hidden around before hand to give certain people a head start as it isn't very fair.

I'll wait to receive an email from them first and then when the game begins I'll look at all the information presented by them and then start.


We look into every single scrap of information simply because the game hasn't started yet. We've got too much time on our hands. Of course, this won't stop once the game has started. If people didn't look for clues hidden in everything then somethin will be missed.

 		OK, so, I'm trying to catch up on things here...
(since I'm a total noob Smile

I managed to get to the spacer files all on my own (<-- slightly proud, just 'cause it's my first ARG, and it took my about 10 minutes Smile, and I've been reading around about project syzygy.
If I understand correctly, there are two questions on the table:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

1~ the 0595630738.cache file that was added on or about Oct 14th
2~ the 2oc4o:ptxt content of alison.rtf (aye, some sort of 'direction' Smile


Am I right, or is there anything else unsolved on the table (so far) ?

Thanks in advance for confirming/correcting,
F.O.R.

Really i dont think these two are puzzles, they're pritty much resolved themselves. We know the ptxt was supposed to point to a website via a tinyurl, but it didnt go to plan so Adrian bumped us over that.

As for the cache files, i think its pritty much cut & dry, no puzzles there.

 		....sorry....
Please add to ARG rules.

'Newbies should shut up and be patient, otherwise they make themselves look like arses'.

If anyone is reading this who can, wipe my previous thread and know that I am even now preparing to wait as long as it takes.

Sorry PM's

Humbly yours etc

 		Maybe make a countdown clock, to help people stay patient.

Set it for exactly, "Early 2005"

And a big " ? " at the bottom of it.
