While the JFK speech was highly chopped-up, the part where the static occurs is in order (Though, the static does not appear in the original audio of the speech).
Attached is a transcript of the original speech with the parts used in our audio marked in red. The one blue section is out of order and appears between the Solon reference and the closing statement in our audio.

Here's a link to the transcript and audio of the original speech.

For the other speaker... Anyone recognise it. I'm guessing Hitler. Sounds German and not Russian. But I could be wrong.


Well, the first part is German, and the voice is like Hitler. But the last words sounds a little bit like дружба, i.e. "Friendship" in Russian.

I'll try to hear out, what was German part.

Look Deep within the Rudder Complex to Find the Lernaean Hydra.


As always, leave what you find where you found it. Be quick, for it might not be there for long.

The Lernean Hydra
the second labour of Hercules

Through simple googling, the rudder complex is a stage within A&M, and presumably, somewhere inside is the Lernean Hydra itself - a new note presumably.

Got the same message about Hydra.
Here is a googlemap of Rudder Complex:
http://wikimapia.org/7737/

I suppose, somebody who is there in situ, may find next hints. (For me it's a little bit difficult, from Germany, hehe)

Btw, found also:

Quote:
Rudder Theatre Complex will be unavailable June 2007 through early January 2008 for a Fire and Life Safety project that includes installation of sprinkler systems and asbestos abatement in isolated areas. Venues affected are the auditorium, theatre, forum, exhibit hall and associated corridors.

During this time the Rudder Theatre administrative office will be relocated to the southeast corner of Rudder Theatre Complex. Access to these offices will be at the corner of Joe Routt and Throckmorton.

Rudder Theatre Complex staff will continue providing event setup, staging, equipment and audio and visual support for conferences, meetings, programs and performances occurring in other campus locations. Please contact Julie Villarreal by phone at 979-845-8903 or by email julievSPLATtamu.edu for assistance with your event.

This website is surely OOG, but the information is perhaps important

Perhaps:
1. there are something to find in temporarily abandon rooms
2. it might be easy to transport, so we shall not take it (in the sake of other players who might get in later)

A transcript of the NEWS.wav

"After delays, due to adverse weather conditions in the area, the launching of the twelfth satelite took place yesterday. The president of the Menschen German corporation continues to deny any information about their purpose, officially saying that they are only for commercial development.
He explained that the goverments of the world should not worry about their activities. The satellite are launched from international waters using a mobile spacecraft launch platform. This platform is similar to the more commonly known, Ocean Odyssesy. Reporting from london this is Elizabeth Devonshire from the BBC."

Menschen means people, although a formal form of it.

Good Day Conspirators;

Go where the picture was taken. Once you get there, you will find instructions of where to go next. At the end you will find a password.

As you might know, there will also be large developments tomorrow, January 17, so be prepared at all times. More than you usually are.

As always, leave what you find where you find it, and go as soon as possible, for one of the messages might might not be there tomorrow.

Also, pay careful attention to the instructions.

Good Day.

That's one whole code. It's Base64.

Decoding it, you get:

Yoe"canPsee the"whole"gallery of the"BC from"up"there"even whenPNhe gallery itself is closed


I'd interpret that as:
Quote:
You can see the whole gallery of the [BC?] from up there, even when the gallery itself is closed.


Leftover letters: e (yoe/you) P (canPsee) BC (possibly, might be acronym)
PN (whenPNhe, supposed to be the?) and seven quotation marks.

First post here! Wh00!

New post in the Conspiracy08 Wordpress blog, and a new website, http://thejunkercorporation.t83.net/

German VERY roughly translates(except for the titles of the sections, I got lazy there) to:

Quote:
Ubers Uns

The squires corporation is among the firms most productive and traditionalest worldwide with gemmeinnützigen background.
To help the business existing almost since 100 years of the Menscheit in approximately 14 countries of the world tried.
With a management as well as an accompanying adviser rod respectively beheading of the Maketings, the technology industry consisting of will improve leading and out of the Politk the squires corporation already soon the world.
Already now numerous developments and proposals of our business persistently stamped the world.
For we are to be initiated here around a second Renaissanve and a golden age for the total humanity.
No longer long and they can seize the chance of its life, would be it ready for ausgerwöhnliche novelties!


Firmenhgjhljstuff

On the 9 November 1913 in Berlin, some squires, a title established offices readily political for peers, out of more in more great more numbers more or more little influential Adlesgeschlechtern the "alliance of the squires".
With its ambitious goals, the "alliance of the squires" never was at that time one existence reform. The we rings of the first and second world war did not let the alliance
however in spite of survive and separated so themselves the group of the founders over 1945.

Ten years later however the relatives and descendants of the founders raised like the phoenix out of the ash around on new a union to create themselves.
The "squires company" was established.
Each year on the new met the company and discussed influence could the current events in Poltik and science and like it this in its sense to the goods.
With view of the unsteady political situation of Berlin, 1949 the relocation of the meeting place of the squire company was concluded into the quiet zone.

Some years after the breakdown of the GDR and the end of the cold war company renamed the squires in the course of the increasing internationalization of its goals into the "squires corporation" and embarrassed constructed itself its headquarters again in Berlin at the same time.
The tradtionsreiche and at that time yet economy strong Ruhr Valley formed still an important part of the firm as a two seat with numerous branch places however.
The headquarters itself were constructed on a former bunker of the STASI and forms such a symbolic gesture of the union and the reorientation.
As one of the most imposing buildings of the world, the visible part of the headquarters portrays however only few of the true size of the apparatus.
Because of efficient place utilization and necessary security determinations, a large part of the building was shifted into the underground.

Studentenjhglostuff

In the firm knowledge that the future lies in the hands of the future academician, engages itself the squires corporation internationally in the student organization production.
Meaningfully to be able to promote around Innovative projects and ideas is it necessarily directly to the studying to go and to offer financially and organisationally aid position to them.
Also you qualify now in order to grow at the same time professionally and personally.
Better it goes actually not at all.

As a student grouping, you profit all around: Whether now in the practical course or in the production of its own projects.
Will from the beginning they stand our specially educated consultation powers as a "godfather" to the side?
They will learn something new therefore a lot.
Obvious we remain regular in contact and in the conversation.
And our proposals and impetus are guaranteed entire after your career taste!

If they are member of a student group, who could utilize such a support, they do not hesitate to contact us, for we can help them!
We have a beonderes interest at projects and organizations with the focus on one or several of the following focal points:
Roboticses
higher used kernel technology
virus research used meteorology
aerodynamics
politics science
Biology
used gene technology
Massenmediale communication technology and analysis

Hurricanes can be diverted or even reduced so by request by concerned nations by temperature manipulation in sensitive part systems. Blizzards, monsoon and further extreme weather conditions can be influenced so also. Development in the EU, Russia and Japan

Project Schimäre used gene manipulation in Kriegsfällen the details are could be preserved momentarily yet secret, but in the future by this project zahlose soldiers and of the front from the death. Develops in Germany, France and Japan

Second and Third binaries strings are on the way. In the meantime, discuss, I guess. Do I need to spoiler tag those quotes?

i kind of came across this topic on accident just a few minutes ago, but i am a senior at Texas A&M and i definitely know exactly where each of these pictures were taken.

i tried to catch up and see how i could help (nothing exciting ever happens here, haha) but i am at work and don't have much time to figure it all out. i'll try to do my best later when i get home. is there a quick crash-course or a site that could point me in the right direction?

in the meantime, is there anything you guys need me to do? i can go to those newspaper dispensers from the first photos and see if that flower logo was covering anything up, but i think i might be a couple weeks too late. we'll see.

It's over

Just got this e-mail:

Subject: Yes it is over, the game is over.

Quote:

Well there are several reasons why the game ended, so sit back and enjoy.

Reason #4. People impersonating the game and hijacking it. We got reports of some that had to go to bloody Austin for a clue that didnt exist.

Reason #3. People who rushed to the clues and either took them or changed them. That problem arose specially on the hensel park night.

Reason #2. Our websites got hacked into and then were erased...

Reason #1. For some reason a few people called the cops thinking it was a real thing and not a game....

Yeah it was supposed to have a good ending with live events and actors and all that. But at this point is rather impossible. If you kept up with it. This was to be found this week, along with the video. of course it only answers what happened to the peeps at the cryptozoo site that went to Borneo. We don't have the next 3 videos after that because there is no point.

That's all, again, the game is over.

Kinda sad actually, knowing how stupid collage administrators can be about kicking kids out of collage for absolutly no reason, I guess they stopped in fear they were going to be arrested for no reason (personally, I'd continue and sue if they did that, but thats just me). I wonder who called the cops and hacked the sites? (I think the collage administrators did). And hacking their site didn't help matters either.

This is now the 2nd ARG I'm in to suddenly close Sad
