Metropolis ARG (New)
The Search Of A Powerful Item...Two Sides...Which Side Are You On?

Quote:
To: Panzerlied
From: Streitkräfte Kapitän Himcael
Subject: Metropolis...


Why...Hello. I've been...keeping an eye on things here...and noticed that...you have key talents in solving things...So...our Benefactors decided, you have the...skills...to help us...in our...goal...

Now...to get to the point. A field division obtained a paper which needs to be translated from binary, to actual English...in order for us to find...Metropolis...


01101101 01101111 01110010 01100110 00100000 01101000 01110100 01110101 01101111 01101101 01111001 01101100 01010000 00100000 01001011 01010101 00100000 01110100 01101111 00100000 01101011 01110010 01101111 01100011 00100000 01100100 01101110 01100001 01101100 01100101 01110010 01101001


You've got all the time in the world to find out and translate this code...But...after all...time isn't on your hands...When, the enemy is also...trying to solve this...not to mention...others on this site...

Save all information you get...that is...my only hint...for this...



Heil Die Welten Nur Leiter.

You have been chosen...to help us...The Resistance. We are in need of smart people much like yourself...to help us find Metropolis...Before the enemy does. They plan on using Metropolis for mere power...and destruction!

This was the binary code we got...but it needs translation:

01101101 01101111 01110010 01100110 00100000 01101000 01110100 01110101 01101111 01101101 01111001 01101100 01010000 00100000 01001011 01010101 00100000 01110100 01101111 00100000 01101011 01110010 01101111 01100011 00100000 01100100 01101110 01100001 01101100 01100101 01110010 01101001

Time is short for us, but with your help, we hope things go accordingly...just keep the info and remember...we'll notify you...good luck.



The Resistance, Ldr. Joshua Williams.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

which reversed becomes
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Put in correct order becomes
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

can't find a sea route from Plymouth, UK, to Cork, Ireland - the body of wather between them is the Celtic sea, even though Plymouth is on the english channel side.

Just from random googlin' found:

http://www.inishbeg.com/flights.html leading to:

http://www.airwales.com/ - which had an argish "all flights cancelled" message on it, but turned out to be cached, wikipedia'd and about 4 years old. Otherwise, no real leads as the terms are as common as "chicago to cleveland", etc...

So it seems we have to choose a side. Either the Streitkrafte or the Resistance. Seems that they are tied at 1 win each (according to MS profiles)

Um... having a look at the IPs used by the posters in this thread, I am locking this down until I get a chance to talk to certain individuals about their behavior in regards to the Unfiction TOS. Please do not start another thread about this game -- hopefully I can sort things out with these individuals sooner than later.

Oh, and Merry Christmas. Smile

Edit: Unlocked -- I'll give people the benefit of the doubt on this one. Have a happy new year.

Well, unfortunately, I'm locking this thread again. There is a new user registered here which looks to become an in-game character, who has also been spamming various UF private message boxes with this supposed 'launch'. We've also found two other 'user registrations' which we suspect to be in-game characters. Until the people who are creating this game get their act together, are respect the rules and guidelines of these forums, this thread will remain closed.

Once again, we are definitely supportive of new games and new game designers here at UF, but not at the expense of our TOS.

Designers of this game (I assume you must be watching this closely), get in touch with me or another admin to sort this out.
