WAY off topic AngBa... But, in your sig you mention MrazFan, that wouldn't happen to be a reference to Jason Mraz, would it? I thought I was the only person who actually listened to him, heh.

Ok, bear with me here, I'm going out on a VERY TINY limb here (by tiny meaning I could crash to the ground at any second cuz this is WAAAY out there)....

A couple of days ago I was hit up by ikeanwhistle :

There was an ARG around Lemony Snicket last year, might be someone doing a continuation on that one.

Got another cryptic clue from our friends in Synthesis, he logged in and gave me this link then logged off:

Googling the line will give you this:

So another song clue released a little while after a new code is revealed. Hm. Any ideas on this one? I, for one, am stumped.

EDIT: And it's actually up in Travis' blog, too. No explanation, no length, just the clue itself. Almost like Synthesis has access to Travis' blog...

Son of EDIT: Providing a link the PMs provided me. Under the circumstances, I figure this is the kind of out-of-the-curtain thing that's okay. http://www.immersionunlimited.com/index.php?topic=2596.0 For those that don't want to read the thread, basically, the Travis Poore found in the really real world, the fire fighter, is in fact real and OOG. So emails shouldn't be sent to him or to the fire department in question.

Well, a lot of colours are mentioned, it could mean that we're on the right lines with the descendin black... What if this is actually HTML colour coding?

I've been writing little scripts to turn the numbers into pictures in various ways. So far nothing looks promising to me. Having more people think that this is the right method though has inspired me to start writing again.

Just an observation for what it's worth...

I was looking at Elferian's link (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/38480570/) and still don't see the monkey-man or luggage - but when I squint, line 17 seemed to jump out at me more than any others:

99699 09099 03090 90990 90700 96099 09099 77090 70900 90907 00990 90909 69

That means that there are more 0's and 9's... Not being a code-wiz, could they have thrown all of the other lines in for a very simple message?

[DarkHuman]

the 11th line is:
Till the stars fall around me and find me alone.


I think you just drop numbers off.

[Esteed]

The lyrics are from a movie called, "The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie," or something like that. Credit goes to L.Boomer on IU for pointing this out, but it could be referring to what we need to do for the code. Perhaps dropping all the prime numbers in it?

[negativeview]

Assuming that we're treating the five-digit groups as a single number, and the two-digit groups as their own, distinct numbers, few of the five digit numbers are primes, though certainly some are. (Working on figuring out exactly which ones.) Only one of the two-digit groups is prime: 89.

If that signifies that the line as a whole is important and/or the only true line in the group:

84698 77793 98485 79083 75647 56767 67676 76977 42609 76774 21848 76475 89

Still in the grid [Edit: It ate my spaces! Viewing source might get them back. Not enough time to check, but in edit mode my spaces are still here, so it's a good bet.]:
