Here's the direction I'm trying to go with this. So far, we have a correlation of code to star name:

Caph - 417st jn Eh

Gamma Cass - 6 ld 9102

Schedar - 279 fh 7691

I'm working on trying to figure out if there's any sort of pattern to those codes. I've eliminated coordinates, any sort of encryption that I could think of, etc.

Kellie and Van both stated that they are looking for a secure way to transmit the pages. The three pages we have don't provide any new information, but I think the last two will. I think we have to crack this code and FIND the last two pages (and I believe that they are out there to be found).

If we can just determine what the codes mean or represent, I bet we could find the last two pages by applying that same template to the last two stars of Cassiopeia.

I've opened up a thread for the Haas journal pages puzzle.

 Not working?

I am trying t get in on this, sorry, am a tad slow to this...just saw the trailer today, and rushed home to figure things out. Found EHWR, but I can't get anywhere. It's just a black screen with a glowing orb in the middle with glowing blue stars around it. Nothing can be activated, and there is no sound. Is the site down? Am I doing something wrong? Please help me!

It needs a minute to load the game itself. Just wait until the blue stars go completely around, then the screen will change.

I had the same problem and I solved it by reinstalling Flash on my system. I did it through IE Internet Options, Programs, Manage add-ons and chose to download new add-ons. I wasted a lot of time at first trying to play the game using the blue orb. Embarassed

Holy mother of tomato! I post a question, hear that the puzzles have been solved and nothing new is happening, and take a few weeks off. I come back, and this whole thing has a sploded all over the internets!

I'm off to read up on what I missed. If nobody hears from me in the next month or so, maybe you could send a search party? Shocked

The first thing to figure out is that this isn't related to Cloverfield and its trailer. Heh.

Seeing as this board has died down, what with the game itself having gone "deep" into the puppetmaster research I have questions to maybe liven this up. This is my first "ARG", but from what little I know, it clearly is an ARG, whereas it's not at all clear that the so-far unrelated 1-18-08 stuff is, why are we "potential CF" and they are listed as definite?

Also, this whole thing that's taken place with Triton Enterprises would never have happened without the whois information, so I agree that we were meant to find it, nor would we have found the Ethan Haas journal entries in turn. So that means the vast majority of players at ethanhaaswasright.com would be content to wait till August 1 and find out whatever happens then. What I mean is, despite the clear links, there is nothing in the Triton Enterprises/Divinus/journals that directly relates to anything at ethanhaaswasright or August 1. Did we go too deep and screw this whole thing up and take it out of the oven before it was fully baked by the puppetmasters? Or are there two ARGs going on?

Well, we don't know how much it relates yet, because we don't know what happens at EHWR come August 1.

As you said, clearly we were meant to find Triton, because it appears in the WHOIS for the main EHWR site itself. If it wasn't a trail we were meant to follow, that's not where they would have put the pointer to Triton.

Everything we've been doing (save for my latest excursions to find Divinus and one of the last two Haas journal pages) seems pretty clearly to me to be exactly what we're meant to be doing.

My presumption, at this point, is that all of this Triton stuff (including the Haas journal, since that was found via Triton) is something that will feed into August 1 -- although it's possible that it might be "world building" that's not strictly necessary.

In other words, it might be stuff that fleshes out the world for those who wanted to pursue it, but maybe not required for more casual players just waiting for August 1 on EHWR.

Ok; that makes sense. Guess we'll see. If casual gamers get 10% off an RPG, think we can get 20%? I'm still hoping for a free condo in Florida.

In doing my Google searches and whatnot, I found several other public forums that have whole forums and long ass threads talking about EHWR. Some of them are making progress, some of them are looking to us for the guidance they need.

Outside of here, it's almost like we're becoming the resident EHWR experts, you more so than I, bix.

But, even so, those other forums are a painful read. They are still convinced of the association with Abrams, and every third post refers to the site from hell (slushozoom) as well as several other sites that have been debunked already. There's just no convincing them to the contrary.

The EHWW.blogspot comments are like that. I only skim them in case there's something I need. I can't outright read them.

I'm still trying to figure out how you found the two other pages...Throw me a freakin' bone here!

So, untilt he PMs make another move... Divinus and the other domains are still unknown... anything we can continue on? The text on the journal pages?

On one of the pages - I don't remember which right this second - there is some written text. There were some characters below the main text body to the bottom left, and near the bottom of the page it almost looked like some text from the other side was bleeding through.

Anyone see anything special, 'cause I've been up for 30 hours and I don't trust my vision.

Unless I've missed someone figuring them out, I still have some missing/unknown words in the journal entries themselves.

Well, there's the block letters vaguely showing on both Caph and Schedar, which we still haven't figured out. And then at the bottom of Caph, towards the left, there appears to be something in reverse, as if there's something on the back, or transfer from a facing page. All I can see of that is what appears to be "HE" backwards.
