Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I think there is a cheat embedded in the video file. When I decompile the "test" There is more to the script than just a video file. The is mention of show score, enter score and save score. I believe there is a way to see your complete file when the cheat is entered. And then change it to reflect that you did not cheat. Could smeone else with more coding knowledge check this out? The location is
action/au/com/hoodlum/components/test07 line 133
I am using Sothink 4.3


We might not be done yet. There could be more to the video.

Black Swan, obviously. But why are so many non-cheaters getting the same result? Did they not clear their cache and it's picking up the info from the Black Swan account?

I've been so behind in this because the games were starting to get boring. Do we really have to wait till December for more? Man, I hope not. Snooze.

That makes sense, if that really is the case. I was thinking the same as whoever else said maybe Hans isn't really the Black Swan. Only I thought perhaps that the "real" BS would wipe our accounts for us, rather than us having to do it ourselves. But that wouldn't be as much fun, would it? Wink

I never saw that coming. I guess I'm not going to join Dharma. Oh well, *takes Massive Dynamic* poster.







Thought I have the feeling that we're missing something. They couldn't have just showed us the Marvin Candle video for nothing.

Is it possible that Hans just pretends to be the Black Swan?


That it is simply a defensive lie because Dharma couldn't find the real one and wants to cover their incompetence? It would at least explain why some non-cheaters landed in the Black Swan group; maybe their results were so brilliant that Dharma simply assumed they were cheating? If that's the case we might hear from the real Black Swan in the near future. I really hope for something like that... They wouldn't keep us waiting for another 2 1/2 months without any action, would they?

Proud Black Swan btw. Rock On


Yes, the same thoughts here. I was just wondering, about some informations Black Swan gave us, for example, why we've got the phone number of Hans? I mean, it wasn't a clue to a cheat (or have we missed it?), and since it seems to be the "real" phone of "real Hans", so why should he so simply give away his own phone, even if for testing proposes? (Collecting data of callers?).

And is Hans schizophrenic, as (supposed he were Black Swan) wishes himselfs good luck in the hidden message of the Email from 9th August

Anyway, I also doubt, Hans is Black Swan.

Interesting twist. I've been watching the forums and just playing along because of my schedule being the way it is. Sad when life gets in the way of ARGing. I'm in the White Swan group. It will be cool to see how the real black swan gets in contact with us. So far there hasn't been a major ARGy part to the game. I feel like something is going to happen soon though that will take all the non ARGers playing the game into the world of alternity.

Test 7
group assignment

Well, I tried to cheat, but couldn't. And now I'm White Swan group. I am wondering how the Black Swan will handle the latest video.

December 15? Really? In this OCD/ADD world we have to wait? Not nice.

Aye, I didn't cheat at all, but I got Black Swan anyway. Which suits me, I have a bit of a thing for the bloke in the video Embarassed Maybe it's random, maybe I'm awesome, maybe there is an underlying mystery we have to wait to find out!

As a note, I did try to cheat on one of the first tests, but I was drunk and tired and completely failed to get it to work.

Hi, by the way.

Oh, and White Swan here.

Maybe the system remembered that you tried, even unsuccessfully, to cheat in the past?

I myself set up two separate accounts, one for cheating and one to keep clean. Both got set to Black Swan, so I'm thinking that the one account contaminated the other, perhaps by sharing the same computer.

I did the same but got the white/ black split. I didn't clear cookies or anything, so I reckon it's another glitch Sad
