What is this game about

F****S me too Kaltern. Be great if the PM go their act together and responded or added new material to play with. I have written numerous questions and suggested clues and had no response.

Part of me thinks he is stalling. Things moved quickly initially and there were little riddles/clues that hinted at an arg. If we were blatantly missing something, I'm sure he'd have hinted to it, since most want their args solved. Perhaps this "launched" too soon and he's trying to hold off for a specific date or the like? Seems like a lot of work to be nothing..

This is what I have so far:
-One question is being asked/day. There is a facts section as well.
-Apparently the university is kidnapping folks & turning them into "a better species." (Though I don't see how going from someone with binocular disparity to a Cyclops is a step forward in evolution...)
-Golden Ratio appears on diagrams & historically was used to describe divine proportions of humans, though we don't actually meet those dimensions. Could be a clue?
-OE or CE watermarks on diagrams as well
-Benjamin escaped from his room, is in the library, and being pursued/stalked by the mutants.
-The victims appear to be staff at the university, at least 218
-Eagle Owl could be the heros in the story & Ben is using their letterhead
-references to Philadelphia in the code & questioning are still unclear
-The date 21-02-2112 (could be reversed 21-12-2012. Could be apocryphal?)
-The is a definite code he is using (brilliant idea to keep track btw!)
-there also seems to be a bird theme going on...

A clue in Herrero Image

So I have another clue from the scorpion image that I have sent in as a clue and also as a question and had no reply. In the bottom right of the image, the text mentions Room 7. I have asked whether our protagonist knows where it is or can look up a blueprint or something to move things along but I have no reply.

I had not seen anyone post about wifpeyoffuzig after this. But it is an anagram for Effigy Of Wiz Up. Reference to Wizard of Oz??

No, it means "Benjamin notes". I don't think it have conection with The Wizard of Oz.

Rereading the thread I noticed the mention of Nyctea Stephens, a type of owl. This owl is common to the UK I believe. I also noted that the man whom the owl was named after, James Francis Stephens, had frequent contact with Charles Darwin.
And where was Darwin from? Shropshire. Maybe that's an area to look into since things seem to point there?

I've tried but I'm apparently not any good at this sort of thing. I've tried with ofrocoraes-218 but none of these passwords work

The coordinates in the source code are just for where you can click on the image to get to the pictures. It's a very small area, but i was able to click them earlier.

I wish he would answer more of our questions.

He did update it and say his leg was hurt.

Click in the homepage of 21-02-2112 where the red dots are, and you'll see the "Da vinci" drawings.

This sounds like a stretch of the imagination to me. I don't see what connection you are trying to make.

Also, Ben seems to respond to some questions on the site but they are not really leading us anywhere. There have also not been any new cryptograms in his responses, so we could be asking the wrong questions.
