 		Ok, it's official: I'm confused.

What does 42 Entertainment have to do with this? This isn't they're style, to say the least.

And...

What address is that? Can't run Google Earth right now.

A-Physical.

Q-By waking him do you mean wake him up from sleep or wake him up as in show him the world around him wake him up to you and your cause?
A- Neither, in essence

Q- Why do they want Children?
A-They wanted children because they are the most "pure-blooded".

Q-Where you one of the Children?
A- Yes.

Q-Are you looking for revenge or salvation?
A-I feel no hate, just frost.

Q-Are the highlights we look for stars in the sky??
A- No. Orion will bring no assistance here

Any of you guys who went to ARGFest have any contacts you can ping?

On the one hand, if it is their work, or they know about it, they're not going to want to spill the beans.

On the flip side, if they're *not* part of it, they may get... annoyed to be dragged into it. And I'd say giving the LA address does exactly that

 		Great work oraclle! After the base conversion I just kept looking for more "13" connections...

That's a bit... blatant, isn't it?

If we assume that the LA location is Node #3, that still doesn't answer what we're looking for in San Fran. Emeryville would be a logical assumption for #2... except, two corporate locations, back to back?


I wouldn't assume that the Pasadena location is the third scope. With the focus so much on scope two (which we know to be in the San Francisco area), I think this was just a hint to draw our attention to 42E... which would eventually lead to this Emeryville address. If we had been given THAT, that would be a bit blatant.

I don't think 42E has anything to do with running this game. They certainly wouldn't lead us to their own headquarters.

That Emeryville address is an address for 42E that happens to also be in the greater San Francisco area.

My take: The number 42 has been a blatant theme for the past several days. After we figured out that the San Fran area was our second scope, we began looking for locations related to this number. Through questioning we found out that this number was not an exact address, but related to something that we should all be familiar with. After questioning ended, and we didn't yet come up with the exact location, this new hint was added. While we're trying to solve it, vapor pointed out that 42E had an address in the San Fran area. And now this additional hint points toward 42E.

I'd wager good money we've found (in Emeryville) our second location.

The problem is, we don't have any way to verify anything at this point. We have one good location, and several possibles. I'm still considering Candlestick to be a hell of a good tie in with the whole 'light' theme.

What do we do, stake out every location at the given date and time? I don't know how many bodies will be available in San Fran... if there are *any*, for that matter...

I have friends in the Bay Area I can possibly request go somewhere to get something for me, but I'm not thrilled with sending them on a goose chase

Good question! Surprising answer. Smile

Also: great solve, Oraclle!

Yeah, this is definitely not 42E (AFAICT). However, I wouldn't be surprised if they allowed this game to hide a clue outside their office building. It's a little meta, sure, but I don't see any major issue with it.

Well, regarding Candlestick... after further questioning, we were told that "bold"was a more appropriate choice of words than "highlights". And "42" was in bold on 13lights.org. Plus with "42" being the big clue, I don't know of a significant connection between that and Candlestick.

We do still have well over a week before 080308. Plenty of time to be given more information. I wouldn't get too concerned yet.

Yes, good question. I'm liking where this story is going.

I intend to put together a detailed summary of everything we've learned thus far, but I'll be pretty busy with Comic-Con through the weekend. So if anyone feels inclined to do so before then, feel free.

I can probably do so this weekend. Do we have a Wiki up?

 		Well, that certainly isn't anywhere near San Francisco.

But at least we know for sure where to go. I think I can be there on the 3rd; anyone else?

 		Thanks grumpyboy! I never thought to check .org That logo definitely matches, as does all the whois info.

If you happen on anything else you think might be in-game, even if you aren't sure, feel free to post it so we can all take a look Smile
