Is anyone on here following Adam's blog under the name:

PVUWMqB00MhYiKuX6mhaIDzazg--



Just struck me as odd, considering the newly coded entries. There does not seem to be a profile attached to the name, and it looks like they started following yesterday.


Edit to avoid a double post:

Tried using the same cipher on different sections of text in the blog. Nothing came up obviously.


Just a note, chapterone is the only image uploaded to the wirebcze.50webs.com image index that I could find. Modified yesterday @ 1:37pm.

Dunno...I see that the first post has been scrambled though.

The very first post that Adam made?
How do you mean scrambled?

Someone had posted earlier that Adam's first post was still intact after all the text of the others had been replaced with gibberish, but it looks like this has been corrected.

Ah ha! I saw that post, and was confused because it had been corrected by the time I looked at the blog. Thanks for clarifying.

Adam's age

Until everything went scrambled, Adam's age said he was 17. 897 years ago would be year 1112.

But considering the rest of his profile, I'd say this is probably just another case of the blog being scrambled, seeing as his interests and name has been facerolled too.

I'm lurking for now, don't really have time to actively play, but I can watch from afar.

Just noticed on the blog...it looks like all the text has been scrambled randomly except for Adam's name, it's the same everywhere: 13247-5.

Is there anything important about those numbers??

EDIT:
Three websites that came up when searching the number.

http://www.wbaviation.com/RFQ/5305-00-969-7652.html

Romance novel, book about psychiatric and social problems, and jet engines.

A friend who's helping me with this thought they might be of interest.

EDIT: (Fixing double posting*shame*)
Little bit of an eerie coincidence, google 13247-5 and go to images, look at the one on the bottom left with the settings all image sizes and safe search on. It's a book cover, and the title is Loving Frank: A Novel. Went to the site and the number is nowhere to be found.

O_o Creeeeeeeeeeepy.


I think "13247-5" isn't really a lead; I think it's just how they scrambled his name. The only times his name comes up other than on his profile (which is where it would have been inputted by the user) is places where the name is auto-put in by the website using whatever the user put their name as.

Holy jumping Jehosephat! I check unfiction this morning, nothing. I come home, and there's two and a half pages! I guess that's what I get for "having a job" and "going to work". Rolling Eyes

Interesting stuff. I sent Adam an email last night too, but I played the "hey, here's a thought for your experiments this weekend, oh by the way your blog went all plooey" angle. I haven't heard back from him, not even the reply others have gotten.

So, operating under the assumption that Adam is the Vessel, Franklin is the Artifact, and we all are the Manipulated Living, where does that leave us? Seems to me (and it might just be me) the main question is "What happened to cause the Tangent Universe?", which will simultaneously answer "What needs to be done to fix things?". Figuring out what exactly Franklin is and where it comes from would probably help a lot, but if we've lost contact with Adam I don't know how we're going to be able to pursue that any farther.

Personally, I'm not completely convinced that the 13247-5 sequence has any significance. Looking at the blog, things like entry titles are consistent between the main entry and the sidebar list. "13247-5" might show up a lot simply because "Adam" was there a lot before. Of course, that might also mean that there is some fantastically complex replacement cipher in place ... Sad It also seems strange that only text Adam typed in is scrambled; built-in things on the blog template (entry dates, the "comments" links, etc) are all still in English. Would the text of the blog be stored on a central server somewhere, or would it be stored locally on Adam's computer?

New post, to avoid too much of a wall of text.

Found something new (to me, at least) on the http://wirebcze.50webs.com/ site. Underneath the image is says "the tangent universe is real ". But two lines below that, in white text, it says "follow the trail, down the hole"; found this when checking the source code again. Was this there before? Doesn't seem to be a clue so much as a confirmation of ARG-ness, but still ...

I second that this wasn't there before. Maybe that's supposed to nudge us in a certain direction? I dunno. Seems rather insignificant, but there's gotta be more to it.

EDIT:
By the way, if anyone wants to help research the book that the Ralph Waldo Emerson quote in the source is from, this website has to book on it.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

In the first movie a jet engine is what kills Donnie.
