Re: r an extende
from his blog

I notice he has the r an extende underlined in his last blog post. from November 27.
I recall reading this phrase earlier in pages back.

Any connection with these letters/latin or otherwise?

I might actually join in.
Seems like great mystery to be solved, lol


It was more than likely mentioned due to the post on the blog itself. - A few of us were trying to work out whether the italics/underlined words/letters meant anything.

Why're you rolling your eyes at me, man? I'm saying with all the BS going on (my getting annoyed and retaliating included) I'm not surprised you didn't catch the talk of that latest blog post? :/

Way wrong... I'm wondering if it was an "OOG" Response though.


While there might be more delicate ways of handling this, such as 'Why don't you google "G A Project",' consider it as growing the community. Technically wrong, but right in spirit as far as I'm concerned. Always give the noobs a break.


No-No... I'm saying the PMs were wrong to do that evidently "In character" - Are you saying the PMs could be new to this?

If so I APOLOGISE PMS! But, with that said there are SEVERAL Articles here pertaining to the do's and dont's of starting your first ARG.

And yeah... Andi's blog was "hacked" He's given me strict instructions on a HL3... So I'm pondering it being an AIM name as I can't find anything else.

Edit:
Okay so I sourced his latest entry and delved into it.

He ITALICISED The following.
Quote:
ve I m lot on the co 'm of


And UNDERLINED this.
Quote:
r an extende


Anything there anyone can see?


I see it now.
I guess I have short term memory, sorry bout that.

Anyone getting anything from the italicized letters then?

wow looks like I missed a lot...just caught up after seeing the thread going from 3 to 20+ pages in a day.

I think the fact that this arg has been thought to be actual reality is interesting, shows what can be done with a simple game. Many choose not to create a story that could fit in reality because of the issue of people freaking out...props to the developers for actually making this, it takes a bit of guts, especially using a story involving terrorism.

To those thinking of leaving simply because of trolls and controversy, shame on you. Simply ignore those posts. We know it is a game, why let those who do not understand the meaning of an ARG to destroy it for you? Why allow trolls to ruin a game which people have worked there arse off to develop for your entertainment? Ya maybe it isn't the most organized ARG you have played, but have you thought about what the developers have been going through to not only stay IG and in character, but also to fend off allegations of this being truth...give them a break.

Ok that's all for my ranting...sorry...now back to the game

A few things I've noticed going through all the posts, and stuff still needing to be figured out...

- Leyton got a response from the Benefactors saying that they have acted and "A...problem. Has been. Solved. No more. Shall. The progress. Become. Hindered." (this is on pg 23 of this thread) -- to me this seems as though they have already killed the Hawk

- therefore half life 3 may not be any kind of sn or something
maybe its an anagram
code to something we may find soon
pertains to a friend of his we should contact

- i'm thinking Trust may become an issue in this so I made a list, certain people may be able to get different information...
Echo's / untrustworthy: Cog, Leyton. Trillian
Trustworthy: Recruit 112 (Raltenbach), Recruit 37 (Leyton -- the double agent), Recruit 68 (VAWE34)

- 825 of us? is it a random number? have 825 different people really contacted them? we should find out if this number has gone down or up.

- the silent monument -- a beacon for foundations and society
I'd agree with that being the u.s capital building...as jayembee pointed out it is a pic on the site, and it just fits.

- nothing still has come up with that phone number from the mp3 file, I'm thinking that wasn't what we were supposed to get from it XD

-and as just mentions there are still the weird hacked blog message

Think that sums up everything. I'll help ya with the wiki natas :]

Nice work, although a couple of things to point out.

1: I'm not among the Echos and haven't been considered one (yet). Although yes I am Recruit 37 according to The Unity and the one person (Atm) Andi trusts, due to his correspondence w/ Amandel.

2: The 825 came from The Unity informing me there were 36 below me and 788 above me.

Le sigh, they have yet to send me an e-mail response. I was hoping to get my recruitment number.

I tried http://www.halflife3.synthasite.com/

but it didn't work. We could try to find a moonfruit website with halflife3 in its address or something? I'll be trying anyway. Smile

ETA: It didn't work either... Sad

Would you care to explain what Half Life 3 means?

There are a few inadequcies in your posting.

This email could have just been cut and paste from a previous email throughout the thread - I'm not saying you're lying but it could have.

Could you please forward me the exact email? (LeytonStone2009SPLATlive.co.uk).

When were you initially told you were Recruit "01"?

Also The Benefactors / Andi Trickett (The computer person) are on seperate sides... How do you "Know" The Benefactor's are comp-specialists?

Hello Germ, and welcome to UF. I'll add you to the recruit roster.

Also, I added a chat utility on the wiki so if people want to discuss off-topic and speculation, it can be done without cluttering up the forum.

Without having full on proof GerM would be "Recruit01" is it really safe to say we can add people to the roster? I mean heck it's your Wiki do as you want; but I've noticed a lot of ARGs go awray because of improper info or "Gamejacking"

Again. I'm not saying GerM's not telling the truth but for him to have been dubbed "Recruit01" of all recruit numbers he seemingly must have been involved pretty early on.

ETA: I only emphasise that b/c of all the evident gamejackin/fearmongering going on previously. And the fact that I was the first out of the previous 3 to have been given a recruit number out of everyone in contact w/ the Benefactors and yet was given a number as high as 37 (although VAWE says they're 34) And the other was in the hundreds - A Recruit01 would be a serious player.
