Oh yeah, this is new. Those number must mean something, right?

It's a mathematical formula. I am figuring it out as we speak.

You can do it to: take the code as it appears and run it through an HTML editor. It becomes this:

[spoiler(Co^[uldYouDecide?CouldY-ouDecide?CouldY]).([[ouDecide?CouldYouDecide?CouldYouDecide?CouldYouDecide?Cou-ldYouDecide?C] *ou]^[ldYouDe-cide?Co]).([uldYo^uD] -[ecide?CouldYouDecide?CouldYouDecide?CouldYouDecide?CouldYouDecide?CouldYo uDecide?Coul/dYouDecide?CouldY]).([ouD^eci]/[de?CouldYouDecide?CouldYouDecide?Co-uldYouDecide?CouldYouDecide?Coul]) .([[dYouDecide?CouldYou^De]-c]/ide?CouldYouDec ide?CouldYouDecide?CouldYouDecide?CouldYouDecide?CouldYou).([Decide ?CouldYouDecide/?Co]*[uldYouDecide?CouldYouDecide?/CouldYouDeci de]).([?CouldYouDecide?CouldYouDecide?C/ouldYouD]+[ecide?CouldYouDecid-e?CouldYouDecide?CouldY]+[ouDecide?CouldYou Decide?CouldYouDecide?CouldY/ouDecide?CouldY]).([[ouDec ide?CouldYouDeci*de?CouldYouDecide?CouldYouDecide?CouldYouDecide?]/[ ;CouldYouDecide?CouldY*ouDeci]]-de?)[/spoiler]

Or, at least, that's what i get. Now, count the characters and make them into numbers.

More in my next post...

Defnintely math... here are the results:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The formulas result in:

(2^[20-16])
([[57-13]*2]^[7-7])
([5^2]-[85/17])
([3^3]/[35-32])
([[19^2]-1]/72)
([21/3]*[28/14])
([32/8]+[19-23]+[45/15])
([[21*48]/[21*6]]-3)

Which gets down to:

(16)
(1)
(20)
(9)
(5)
(14)
(3)
(5)


More to come...

So far, getting:

(16)
(1)
(20)
(9)
(5)
(14)
(3)
(5)

Which goes nicely with an ABC alphabet -- PATIENCE

However, I am still unsure what to so with it.

Patience is a virtue

SPEC: May it mean for us to have patience with the game starting?

Not anymore.. if there is, my cursor isn't picking it up and I didn't spot it in the HTML.

sometimes you need a hard-refresh on the page to pick up some links, i could not see this one either until i did a hard refresh.

shift-click or ctrl-click the refresh button.

So it is.. Thanks.

Please disregard above post.

STOP!
I wanna go home
take off this uniform and leave the show
but I'm waiting here in this cell because I have to know,
have I been guilty all this time?


..sorry. Too much Pink Floyd as of late.

"I've got to get cracking" is probably referring to the opening page of unfiction.com.

No Longer Redirecting

The Acheron homepage has stopped redirecting to the Terminal, but there is still that little link to it between swag and news.

I dunno. I went there are about 3:45 EST and it hooked me into the termanal.. and i got the same thing. Crying or Very sad I was kinda hoping it would start directing you somewhere but nothing happened *sighs* i guess the game hasn't started yet. But, by the way, i'm not getting that link between swag and news
