Who wants a stab at it? I wont be home for a couple of hours.


Gah! Bang Head Bang Head

What am I missing? I've used both the Caesar cipher..and vigenere cipher. I have used everything I could think of as far as key codes .

 		They gave us a new cipher on Reddit:

I get the sense this is a rotor setting for an Enigma machine.

 		Good call, catherwood.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Using an enigma machine simulator with the rotors set to I, II, and III with rotor start MCK and the rings set at AAA the message decodes as this:

WALLACE DOES NOT KNOW. WE BELIEVE HE IS KNOWN BY ANOTHER NAME IN THIS TIMELINE. IF YOU ARE IN CONTACT WITH THE STUMANS, PLEASE, DON'T LET THEM KNOW OF THIS STREAM. WE HAVE OTHERS, TO COORDINATE THE BUBBLE. THERE ARE ONLY 8 LEFT OF US NOW. EACH DAY SEEMS LESS LIKE HISTORY AND MORE LIKE A LIFETIME.

Wallace goes by another name? But we confirmed the blog was IG right? 8 left? Should we work more quickly?

Also it's clear that stumans is not a typo. Are perhaps a race of people who can manipulate the timeline?

Has been updated again.

The reddit account also posted this:

37 59 36 23 42 42

EDIT: Which, if plugged into Google instantly brings up a location near Athens, Greece.

EDIT II: According to the all-knowing Wikipedia, Athens is one of the world's main centers of archaeological research. Maybe this is where we can find our Mr. Wallace Happenish? He did, after all, mention Oxford already. So we can place him in Europe fairly easily.

EDIT III: The location is:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Akadimia Platonos, or the area in which Plato's academy was built, though it now appears to be mostly housing. But this area has to be important somehow. The GPS position those six numbers correspond to is exactly the same as Google Maps' Wikipedia link to Akadimia Platonos.

new post from Ayden
Monocle? Top hat? Sounds very steampunk.
Notice about the watch...and it needs to start soon.


Where have they gone? Do they know I can't read their Ancient Earth Warchive? I keep hearing circuses. I like circuses. Once, about 80 marsecs ago I played a tuba rather loud, and it never seemed to come out right. I like this place. You people are funny. I was once told I was funny. With my top hat and monocle. The circle never took found me serious. Or was that surpeti? Anyhow, I am still wondering about my monocle. It has a watch on it now, and my sub-routine claims that it needs to start soon. I am supposed to be remembering something. Can you help me?

Anyone else think that was out of place? Also, we're beginning to get a list of characters together......

Wallace Happenish (met)
Ayden (just met)
Raven (mentioned)
Augie (mentioned)

Ayden seems to have just appeared in our timeline.... So i think we'll be seeing the others soon enough.

(MASSIVE SPECULATION AHEAD!!!!!!!!!)
Fair warning: Allied Broadcasting seems to think that both Raven and Augie have done something. From the sound of things, Augie brought about some kind of change, and Raven seems to have betrayed them (from what i can tell). So if we do see them, keep that in mind.

Also, if anyone is closely monitoring Wallace, make a post as soon as he mentions going to Athens. I have a feeling that's when Ayden's watch will start ticking.

Not really. They have mentioned other "streams" that have not been discovered yet. Like any other good rebel in hiding, they dont want to stay on one stream too long for fear of getting caught..

No, I mean the manner of writing specifically. It's too formal, too final...... I wonder if they mean that to be their last post on that site.


Also, Can we all agree that AYDEN is a robot, or an AI of some kind?

Quote:
His temporal mapping matrix seems to be a little more off these days than we would like. If only he would quit making adjustments to his sub-routines, that and his stupid penchant for churches.


That just screams "ROBOT" to me. Also, this talk of Keepers is highly reminiscent of.............

Oh my god. The 4th Law.

Isaac Asimov wrote the 3 Laws of Robotics in his books......


Quote:
A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.



If I'm on the right track, they used these to define their robots actions. What if they put in a 4th law, an emergency override for worst-case scenarios?

Quote:
11. They found two of us last night transecting the neutocean. 11. There were days when we had thousands of Keepers. The 4th law seemed like such a waste at the time. Raven. How could she?


And now these CETYO's have put the 4th law to use.

........or maybe i'm COMPLETELY off track here......... but its sounds plausible, right?

I don't believe it was ever established either way. I think we were all on the fence about if the blog was IG or OOG. I'm going with OOG right now until something pops up that says otherwise.

The Reddit post talked about other streams, yes. However, I don't believe this was one of the streams they were talking about. The conversation that takes place on the IB site seems more AGAINST the people who were posting on Reddit, against what they were attempting to do.

Just thought I would clear that up.

 		Happenish isn't necessarily the blogger's real name:
Quote:
The reason you aren't able to find anything else on me is, well, Happenish just might be what you call a nom de guerre.

so that could potentially explain the other name bit, but again take it with a grain of salt for now.

But....... That wouldn't make any sense. Both the Reddit posts and the wordpress site are written from a rebel's perspective....... The Reddit posts seem to be direct broadcasts, while the wordpress is more of a journal..... And if they were opposing sides, why would both be on the run?

(UNRELATED) In addition.......

they seem to know where and when we are showing up. if the CEYTOs have had contact with you, please, please, please do not let them know you are aware of their plans. We are working to up our plasmud output, as this current frequency is only able to be subsessed at the highest magne-feed range.


Has anyone been able to decypher the name there? Because I'd like to know who this other character is...... because it can't be Raven, Ayden, or Augie...... I want to know how many players there are.

 		Maybe I misunderstood the message then bc one of the messages on the blog stated that "they are sending out their 'message'". I took the "they" in that as the people posting on reddit bc they were the only ones sending a message - the original one that was used as a key.

I'll have to take a closer look then I suppose.
