Oh god. That's more plausible than time travel. YOU CRAZY THEORISTS AND YOUR MAKING ME HATE THIS GAME. :'(


So any developments? I'll admit I haven't had much time to work on it, but I'm still suck on /x/ and /that car model number/.

i think it is up to us now, he said he is sending stuff, but he doesn't know where it is going. i think we need to find another door (possibly /300zx/) and that will be where the other messages will be.


With 256's new video, this seems very much to be the case, although he apparently can't find where the text messages were sent to. I asume they went to some portion of the site, so was that set up by another of his actions he does not recall(like the cellphone video)?

To counter the speculations of 256's situation, aliens don't necessarily explain 256's ability to do things without telling himself, or the 300zx/350z correlation.

The messages he sent while underground.

 		Second message down translates as:

EDIT: All of those messages are posted from 1988.
Time Travel!
And the phone is smart to figure out what time it's in.

 		LOL that is kinda funny really. we will need to decode the numbers into a message. they are the number keys used to type an SMS. I don't have a phone with a keypad, so can someone else give it a bash?

 		I think that's already been done. Take a look at Jacques.mole's post.

 		Newbie, here - this is my first ARG. There's been some speculation about the importance of the color red. Does anyone think it's significant that the room names in x.jpg are written in red when all his other notes are written in black? If so, might this have something to do with the clue about handwriting?

EDIT: Also, he said earlier that there's more than one method to direct browsers to directories. Has anyone with a username and password for his communication system tried to ftp into /x/ or /300zx/?
