Which would be what be what stewartdaniels was talking about

The first time I saw this site, it was referred to in the Matrix Online forums in December of 2006. Back then it had a banner that said "game over", "welcome to the real world", the life imitating art code, thirdrenaissance.com, and "you are not awake", and a very matrix-y look to it.

So after I looked at the video on Youtube, I looked the guy (spjk2k) up on Google. He has a weird Myspace page, which looks like ttr.com, and has a link to ttr.com.. In the source code there is all kinds of goodies.

The binary says:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
i told you this wasn't a clue, pal..


I personally think the binary is for this other website he/she has made, kellyclarksonriddle.com which is like notpron for anyone who knows what that is. So either ttr.com is something this person is working on, or maybe its part of the kellyclarsonriddle thing. I'm not so sure, and I believe it could be a new game/riddle thing. Either way, this spjk2k guy is connected to ttr.com.

Well I'm finally back in the saddle Smile Hello all!

Wow, KCR looks interesting in itself, is it too late to investigate solo?
As for the third renaissance, I've noticed at the bottom of the KCR video that there is a marquee in green saying, "no, this is not a clue".
I don't mean to state what's probably obvious, but could this also be a connection to TTR?

EDIT: Oh, and PS.... Nothing.... scary will jump out of the Kelly Clarkson video, will it? I'm scarred for life because of those damn flashes....

Pfft good luck on that Kelly Clarkson one, it's waaay too hard. Makes Notpron look like kindergarten. And I'm pretty sure his myspace has nothing to do with it, because everyone was messing with it when KCR came out, also that "no this is not a clue" is like the tagline for that riddle, so I don't think its relevant to this.

Of course this thirdrenaissance thing seems to be related to the Matrix, so its got me hooked for life. As far as the date goes, the V for Vendetta thing is obvious enough for me, but I can't wrap my head around this "life imitating art imitating life imitating art blah blah", "it is not a game, it is real", etc, is this actually a game or something else? lol is he going to blow up Parliament?

Some board nazi shut me down for not being a Kelly fan or something, guess that's a dead end lol

Has everyone here concluded this is strictly a game? I mean I've played a lot of weird mysterious games, but something about this doesn't sit right..

Myspace image

If you look under pics on the thirdrenaissancecom myspace page (which is a bit tricky due to the nature of the page Wink) you can find an image which says "GAME OVER. Welcome to the real world. The Third Renaissance is nigh." with some binary code below.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The binary is a series of ASCII characters which says


life imitating art imitating life imitating art imitating life imitating art.


Below that it says "Thirdrenaissance.com You are not awake." I'm pretty sure "You are not awake" is a quote from The Matrix. All this stuff we've found doesn't seem to be really leading anywhere, so I am thinking that this might not be a real game, only someone having a bit of fun at our expense Sad.

Projct Mu connection

A few weeks ago i popped on to this thread and read it. Seemed like i was a little to far behind to join so i went on my mary way. Then today i was looking at the project mu archives and i noticed a strange connection. http://www.metaurchins.org/book/page1.htm Notice the very first post in the online book, the one by statik, reads very similar to the first post on this thread. I found this website on a google ad. I know normaly we are supposed to ignore the man behind the curtain but i think this might be a case of a pm posting which is against the rules.

Why would someone finding an ad on their Gmail be considered a PM? I'm not quite getting the connection to project MU, as Statik too was just a player who found the ad...

Woah, tab on the myspace page and hit enter when the address shower at the bottom of the page shows albums and friends, etc.
There's some interesting stuff here.

Here's a link.
Not sure if it'll work, though.
http://myspace.com/spjk2k
EDITED: working link.



Okay, this turns out to be spjk2k's myspace page.
Then again it may still be IG.

EDIT: I took out the spoiler because I found a working link.

"spjk2k" put in the faq of the Kelly riddle that his myspace had nothing to do with it, apparently people were looking for clues in it and I guess everyone started spamming him with add requests, so I doubt it has anything to do with this either. I remember a manager on the board there saying he only made it look the way it looks to prove he could out-code Tom (or something)
