well if this is a well designed game then you're in for a treat. Word to the wise though... It WILL consume you if you let it. With Metacortechs I probably spent about 10 or more hours a day devoted to the game. But it was worth it.

We had some problems with Metacortechs where 2 people collaborated with each other and found about 3 additional sites without telling the group thinking they were going to be able to stay ahead of the game. The whole time they were trying to crack the new sites they were pretending on the boards that they were just as stuck as we were. It wasn't until they tried to bring a 3rd person in that the whole thing blew wide open. There was a bunch of tension for about the next week because everyone was paranoid about everyone else holding onto information as bargaining chips. It was sad really...

ANNOUNCEMET:

[MatrixofReality]

does anyone else get the feeling that we missed something on the file name of the MP3 we received?

my_sojd87yhfbcn_78YHNBUJ_hybnm_.mp3

so far all the email we've received in hex, even the last Gracey communication that Pancito received
, have been VERY precise. Anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm having a hard time swallowing that this name is TOTALLY random...

I'll be back to the computer in about an hour or two. I've got a service call I've got to go run and take care of. (Stupid CCTV System )

If things start happening someone twitter me or shoot me a message on AIM. Don't wanna miss anything

@MatrixofReality-- I totally agree. I've been rolling the filename around in my head for a little while, and I've tried heaps of different ciphers, but all to no avail..

I also suspect that there is something about that digiscribe number..

BTW, when I downloaded that mp3 (AugustaNights' post), the filename was my_sojd87yhfbcn_78YHNBUJ_jybnm__1219707570.mp3. What's with the numbers appended to the filename?

Wait, there were extra numbers? I just re-downloaded it from gmail and I didn't see any. Like chippy said - it was probably just some sort of time stamp.

Nice job on the Wiki Matrix! I've signed up and if I get the chance I'll help update it every once and awhile.

As for the filename...I agree that its definetly not random. It may be encoded in hex...however the letters wouldn't match up, unless there's some sort of code within it. Something to tinker with as we wait for GDOS to respond I suppose

And @chippy - Some people have already sent commands asking for copies of the files, so right now we all are just waiting. I don't think they're web accessible...but if somebody's really bored, I guess they could check domain names again (lol )

So yeah... I'm working on the pregame summery and gathering up some fact when I ran across something that I wanted to bounce off of everyone. In the first two letters from Gracey she refers to her territory as SAM-2. However, in every email thereafter and the audio file we have it's referred to as SA-2. Are we supposed to chalk this one up to oversight?

[Leyton Stone]

I noticed that a while back and I think it is just a mistake tbh

[MatrixofReality]

Just bored and bouncing ideas...

I was thinking about Anglevine United and how I abbreviated it AU on the wiki when it occurred to me the AU is Gold.
If you take the audio file name and cross out all the single letter elements you're left with:

mjd8778Jm

Anyone wanna take a stab at that. The only thing I tried running it through so far is Base64 and got nada
