Oh I see, thank you. Sorry, am new to args. And didn't realise this wasn't supposed to be a final answer.


No need to apologize for anything. I was mainly quoting your post to add my response to Atom_Force.

What do you guys think of the listed Jeremy Jones' sites?

Check out the drummer's site, [url]jeremyjonesmusic.com[/url]

Do you guys see the symbol in the top left hand corner of the page?

I wonder if it means anything....


i'm not sure if this calls for a trout...but Jeremy Jones is actually our very own jsquared. see above.


I noticed that connection, but

i thought jsquared said he wasn't connected to any of those sites?

are you saying that the jeremyjones.com thing that was mentioned earlier has nothing to do with this ARG?

sorry, i guess i got confused.

Yeah, I just threw it out after googling "jeremy jones". Since we now know Yshk was referring to jsquared, there's no reason to look at jeremyjones.com.

Now I know why they call it ARG.

AAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!

This is my first one, and I am jumping at any possible clues that come along!

Although it is strange about the 13 references. Thought I may have been onto something.

oh well.

I know what you mean. I've spent the better part of the last two days chasing red herrings. Most recently, I've been combing through recently registered domain names for anything that looked related. I've also been trying combinations of hex, ascii, and decimal conversions on the various texts and numbers we have so far. All with no luck. Yet.

It certainly made sense to look into jeremyjones.com until jsquared spoke up.

I don't think so. I think he's just replying to a few of us to egg us on generally and leak out a few clues. Whatever begins on the 13th, I'm sure it'll be open to whoever.

I've been trying out apache, which looked promising because of the double initial "n", but it looks like it's not apache after all. Will keep looking.

When you're composing your message and you get to the spoiler part, hit the "Spoiler" button above the editing box. When you're done, hit it again. That's it. Smile

 		I've been bugging him(?) all day with similar questions and got a similarly dismissive answer: "3 days".

Sounds like we've just got to wait now.

Edit: In other words, no idea. Smile

 		lexicon, so far
Following the idea that we're dealing with an invented language, here's a list of all the words we've seen so far. Where possible, I've assumed that the syntax is the same as English (so "ra nnra koldaaj" = "to preserve humanity"), so I've speculated on their part of speech. Let me know if I'm missing any.

ra = to
ny = the
nednai (v) = ?
takma (n) = ?
peynin = ?
hasya = ?
keilyn = ?
moquin (n) = ?
teyailn = ?
vyl = ?
esun = ?
mrkzai = ?
di = ?
Gai = ?
Lanti (n) = ?
La = ?
en = ?
masi = ?
ust = ?
awlyn = ?
tyld = ?
yshk = ?
jal = ?
adjnak = ?
nukvad = ?
nnra (v) = preserve
koldaaj (n) = humanity

In more of "stab in the dark" vein, I'd guess that "en" is a conjunction, and di seems to work like "of". The hard part, obviously, is that learning one word doesn't help much toward guessing at other words.

 		It looked to me like vyl is an article or "and", given the way it was used with the (presumed) proper nouns Gai, la, and Lanti. En is probably that sort of word as well.

Also, if you assume that -in and -yn are related ending that would make awlyn, moquin, keilyn and peynin all either verbs in a given congugation or nouns (in a given declention if they decline). Esun and Teiyaln are possible additions to the list.
