Haha that is bloody awesome. For those too lazy to log into the UF account:

1) Don't worry, we are following all progression and know exactly when any of the clue are solved. Hence, there is no "defect" or error that prvented you from solving it.

2) there is no pUzzle that caNnot be unlocked. iF you are too frustrated wIth a puzzle, look for help. it's still a game and we want you to be entertain, not piss off. =) Chill ouT! help Is available Out there, try to fiNd it!

3) The story follow and actual timeline. This mean some clue will required you to wait before going any further.

And for conclusion, ask yourself: are you sure you found all clues?

Thank you all for playing. We hope you have fun!
- The YC team!


Concerning B.G.: surely the initial intention to contact her was to solve the second puzzle. However, since B.G. was Adam's colleague in NZ (the one who sent the artifact to him at Uni, who he later joined at the digging in NZ - from the letters), she's probably the only one who knows what exactly went on there, and maybe even what happened to Adam. So I'm pro-SE (Stalk&Extract) concerning her. Will look around to find more contact information.

Concerning FB: 'Are you sure you found all clues?'
That question really annoys me.
It makes me look at the IP adres again that we recovered from the confix.txt file. Nevertheless, are we sure there isn't more to be discovered on the site apart from the three locks?

Concerning IRC: http://chat.efnet.org/
Not the worst option in the world.

Does this mean we're missing something then?


Most likely. I got the message confirmed by an unnamed source that will stay unnamed.

Drejl: You shouldn't be concerned about that NEARLY as much as the timeline thing. He said it follows a timeline. Seems to mean we need to wait 2 weeks.

The timeline doesn't truly concern me; I can't change/rapid/influence time or the timeline or the two weeks. However, I can influence the amount of information gatherered or not... Morning-coffee philosophy.

Fair enough. I think the main thing is the second puzzle - we have the solution, but we don't really know how the solution relates to the clues yet. Especially since we're not in contact with Beatrix.

Now would also be a good time to get a wiki up, running and up to date.

Other than that... 2 weeks, I guess Crying or Very sad

 		Hrm...

Okay Where is it confirmed that Beaxtrix Gray was Adams N.Z Colleague?

Because IF they are one in the same, this is where Eleanor Plante has gone... To see B.G.

Edit: I think we need to be looking at config.txt

We've decoded the blowfish string but we've still got

That's your own fault for guessing so well Laughing I'm sure the Facebook message would have been aimed directly at you but it's a little hard to work Zephonith in to a sentence.

drejl, I volunteer you for wiki duty, your overviews are great and you clearly have the right mindset.

 		Leyton and I believe the key to the puzzle is the translation of that Heinrich text. Anybody here know enough foreign languages to figure it out?

is this what you mean..? The preface to chapter xxix of Umberto Eco's Foucault's Pendulum?

 		Which language was that translated from, Tex?

Edit: The English translation doesn't work in the answer but I believe we've found something else to look into.

Quote:
The Rosicrucian Brotherhood.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosicrucianism

Quote:
Conspiracy literature

* Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh and Henry Lincoln, Holy Blood, Holy Grail (1982), advanced a pseudohistorical relation of Rosicrucianism with a secret society called Priory of Sion.


Da Vinci Code anybody?

Edit 2: Some real Rose-Cross order websites for reference perhaps?

 		Probably totally irrelivant but check this out.

The title:

Lusus serius: The Rosicrucian manifestos and the 'serious joke'


And one section within the piece.
Quote:
A similar feat was accomplished in reverse by the horror writer H P Lovecraft, who evolved his ancient book of forbidden wisdom, the 'Necronomicon', in the course of developing the cosmic underpinning of his 'Cthulhu Mythos' tales.

 		and to carry on the theme, I was just reading, relevant or not;

Quote:
An amusing bit of trivia concerning _Foucault's Pendulum_: On page #493 of the
paperback edition, the crescendo of the "Black Mass" arrives with the
utterance "I'a Cthulhu! I'a S'ha-t'n!"

 		Although, this still brings us no closer to this clue we're missing...

What's the English translation of the answer to Riddle 2?
