That's strange. They seem to be denying that Nether Earth is the subject?

Did we ever establish what BTB meant?

Quick question, what does ETA stand for? Edit ... something ... something?

Oh hey there Mr. Unfiction kids!

I've been caught by a terrible head cold for the past few days, and haven't been able to share with you guys my fun news. I've been in contact with the Commander since before the recruiting stuff happened. I think I need some help with it though...

The Conversation was as follows (Note that I he refers to me as Buttonbasher which is my video game site name):

KLind: "I'm looking to contact CommanderVideo. I have been following the activity surrounding him, and would like to know more, and how I can help him out?

Let me know! "


CV: "00DATACOMPILED11
11
BUTTONBASHERENGAGE1--INFORMATIONACCESSGRANTED1--INQUIRIESACCEPTED1--THECOMMANDER1"


KLind: "Hello,

I am curious as to the current status of The Commander? I recently saw a video displaying what is possibly The Commander buried underground. Is there anything I can currently do to help I would be willing to do all I can.

I look forward to our future communications."

CV: "00DATACOMPILED11

EARTHARRIVALFEBRUARY1--PREPAREEARTHLINGS1--GATHERINFORMATIONANDDISSEMINATETO:BLOGS:1

INFORMATIONACCESSGRANTED1--INQUIREATWILL1--THECOMMANDER1"


So do you think it means that I am to get the word out that he is in route to Earth? And that we all need to be ready? Or do you think he wants me to ask more questions in order to gather information to present. Regardless, I do apologize for not posting this sooner but now that it's out there I need your guy's help! What do you think?

aww, it displays gratitude. How kind of the Commander. Nether Earth/whateveritscalled is going to hit Wiiware in February then.

I suppose you could ask if he/she has any information he wants us to spread, like clues on what the new image is or what the file name means or what BTB means.

I saw that, but it seems like a huge coincidence.

There's the rumor going around, but I think the Commander is saying that it's not connected through his twitter. I'm willing to guess that it's a coincidence, as the screenshot doesn't really suggest RTS. And I'll blindly believe CV. Wink

Double post, but CV's messages tend to clutter. Got a much faster response this time. I asked the following:

-Elaborate on the Twitter Comments
-Is there anything we can do to prepare Earth for his arrival.
-Where are you coming from?

And I got this in response:

So he wants me to contact more blogs, he's from "The Ether" but to inquire further with The Commander of Gaijin Games (Right? Or am I reading this wrong?). As for the Easter Egg, I'm really very curious.

Excellent work. Suppose the B#*T//#B**% bit might give a clue to the length of each word, or just random characters to simulate corruption?

I think that's a good theory. As the 1 (which seems to be the equivalent of saying "OVER" into a Walkie Talkie) is placed further.

Going a step further (if it is the right track) we'd have repeated characters * and /.
Bio Teen Boom? Yeah weak longshot... Rolling Eyes
Scratch that, doesn't even fit the pattern.

Although I think it can lead to something. I'll try different combinations of letters.

('Neuzugang' is an odd translation for "recruit" as it is closer to 'rookie'. "Rekrut" may have been a better choice. Maybe when this all is over, I'll go and start editing german texts Smile .)

No harm in posting this in here, might be needed info later on.

My message follows the same pattern:

Also, the new image that was posted, IMHO the end looks like "heat"... Could the orange bar be sort of a "load bar" for publicity(since there was talk about contacting blogs on the response KLind got)? Or is it just a part of another/bigger image?

Don't know, just throwing ideas your way Smile

So does the Commander want us to spread the word via blogs about the upcoming game and report back to him on our progress? That's what I got from reading over his reply's.

Are we supposed to hype the game?

Question
