maybe not, but then he's maybe just sitting around all day with nothing better to do?

If def seems like part of our objective is going to be locating the cave of the eye, and opening it, and as that is Al Khari territory I think it's going to be pretty important to get the language down either way.

Incidentally we don't have any proof that Jared = Composer1 yet.

The history page game really looks like a mod of Wolfenstein 3D. Rise of the Triad, had an additional level called Wolf3D that was a take of on it.. Doom2 had two secret Wolf levels... there are tons of mods.

Actually, check out:

The astrostein ones - some of those screen shots look pretty similar.

I just had a thought. This Symphony is in the key of ACE.

Is that a key to a code? I must admit when I first read it I thought it was just a wink to camera "woohooo" moment.

But if we're looking for keys...

also, what decryption app was used for the Immersion message? maybe we can try running it on the composer1 code:

3LNCKPY05OAUSMUR32AOMN6SERV4SAHU

and see what we get?

one of the other characters must have the other half of the message...now the only trick is getting that email.

I sent a PM to Karin the other day but apparently, i didn't word it correctly enough to get a reply.

I didn't get it on my first ARG either, but Base64 is nothing more than a code, to decode it, just go here:

http://makcoder.sourceforge.net/demo/base64.php

and another commonly used code is ROT13:

Nothing. I'm taking a little break from ARGs at the moment. Expect to see me when I have any time to myself.

Base64 is a not really a code as such, it is a technique used by MIME (think email) to send non plain text content via the internet.

It is one of the methods used by PM's to send coded messages, but would not be used as such in the real world as it is very easy to crack.

See this artical for more information.

So...I've been staring at the Composer letters and I'm none the wiser.
I don't know if the grid thing I put them in is the right order or the wrong order.

I had a guy at work point out that there was 25 letters, why not put it in a 5x5 grid.

Is anyone buddy buddy with Curtis? Something's going on between Curtis and Anissa.

Hey ALISDAIRPARK, maybe you can charm her into giving up some info.
