Sandbox test system

Quote:
so sandbox.academy is like a test system...

woah hold up, test equipment? test system? a email server for incoming emails for the test system? a wild spec of myself points to Tanner kicking at Covington for not shutting down the test equipment, aka link to our world at night, maybe in the fear of someone in this world finding this link?

</wildspec>


There ya go, that's what I'm talking about. At this point, I think all we can really do is speculate, until we get some more stuff to play with.

I'm not so sure the Lewis Carrol thing is valid, don't most (or all) ARG's start with a Rabbit Hole?

More questions than answers

Hi fellow head scratchers!

'An entire subculture of people is obsessed with these bits of footage, and anybody who can create that kind of brand loyalty would be a gold mine for Cayce's client.'
I am loath to get involved in this as it seems TOO addictive for words. You all have a major head start on me but, what the hell, in for a penny!
Some questions from all the wading in the last 24hrs - might ring a bell, if not, ignore me.
Has 'Pattern Recognition' got anything to do with the puzzle? Anyone read it yet? Quote above is from it...
Is the LazarusLong key a hint to anything? The early e-mails refer to encryption.
Who is Diandra, who gave us the helpful URL in the first place?
Anyone else agree Syzygy is the recruiting phase, hopefully now done, leading to the full game?
What substance is sensitive to water, acetone and liquid mercury (strange, isn't it always a liquid?) or are the chem symbols another clue?In the first errorlog cache message - does the tone of the mailer daemon smack of Discworld?
The street scene in the 'Welcome' page looks like a scene out of The Matrix when Neo and the crew first go to meet the Oracle. The 'P' is the same font as Justin Berkovi's 'Passion' on the predicaments site (new link?)
The Abeale link is dated 29/7/01 - just a red herring? It has the text of the Marketing week message used as an example of cryptography though.

I hope this begins to make sense soon, my brain is hurting!

Good luck to us all Wink

mmm i dont think Pattern Recog. has much to do with the game, more of a example of the gameplay.... due to the elite brand of fanatics hunting for the footage, thats what they wanna attract Smile

Project Syzygy was pritty much the recruitment project, after all Syzygy simply means in my view "bringing togther" which it has done, got a PM crew and player base...

Hi all,

I've come into this quite late too - via firebox advert!


Nothing much to add that hasnt already been said, except (and this may have been mentioned at some point but I dont see any ref to it yet) - and this may be stupid but don't laugh to hard - having read the errorlog caches I thought about whether looking for a Shoemaker in Old Town or at the Taverson address mentioned may shed some light.

I could find nothing, but I thought some of ou might be interested in my thoughts.

Best of luck with the game everyone.

Hmmm, I've been looking at the http://www.projectsyzygy.com/ page (projectsyzygy is now complete), and I can tell you for certain that the half a passport stamp on the left of the picture is from Ataturk Airport, Istanbul - also on the picture of the passport in the bottom left of the screen, the visa sticker is again a Turkish visa sticker. Dunno if this helps at all...[/url]

I'm new here, so feel free to tell me I'm retarded. My theory regarding this, is that maybe it would originally have started tonight (early e-mails talked about the game starting late 2004), but something real time must have happened - the game wasn't fully planned yet, or whatever. That could explain why the name of the game changed from project syzygy to perplex city AND why later e-mails talked about the game starting early 2005.

I guess, regarding the time at which I wrote this, that "tonight" should be replaced with "last night".

[SPEC] Just Wondering....

ughhh, im a semi-newbie to the whole ARG thing but for the past month i have been researching and working on Project Syzygy, please, visit my blog at www.glimpsemymindSPLATblogspot.com , i have some speculations that might be worth a looking at:

(PS. im sorry if this has already stated, i did not have the time to search properly because im in the middle of second period)

CUBE SPECULATION>>>was stolen (Lost?) from Sente? (perplex City more probable), might be a living? or AI since Sente referes to it as a "game of hide and seek"> might be a portal to another time/place not accessable through "the gateway". one person has been killed already, maby because of working on the cube( got to close to something??)>>>the cube is probably alien to their world since they were researching it, might be a sort of library with knowlage of their ancestors in it??(probably not) but oh

A quick summary (correct me if I'm wrong)

Sente is from the academy in the old town (and head of project Syzygy) in Perplex City.

Perplex City is not in "this world"

from the error logs (http://www.perplexcity.com/tmp/httpd/errorlog/) the project had some security concerns. the project seemed hi-security as they had security programs and biometric scanning (again the error logs)

The cube that project 24 was dealing with went missing, presumed stolen.

Sente seems to think that the cube has ended up in "our world"

The letter visible on www.perplexcity.com is on Academy letterhead, but is physically in london (we can see a £50 note next to it in the bottom right image at: http://www.perplexcity.com/indexB.html)


So Sente has come across dimentions looking for the ???? cube and is requesting our help. Also in the year 148 AC S. Marchant expressed their fanatical desire to hold the cube, aparently an item of great power (http://www.perplexcity.com/2718281828/)

feel free to expand on this
