I've been following this for a few weeks, haven't made a video for Tim and Ollie, but did send an email.

He has a package in the mail on the way to me, some swag from MBILF.biz, said there are some codes and symbols involved that he hasn't been able to figure out...

Unfortunately, I'm hopping on a plane tomorrow, and won't be home till next wednesday, hopefully it'll come today, but I doubt it.

This site (and the attached ones) are WAY too funny, and I NEED that Mac and Cheese shirt...

Oh damn.

This made me almost spill my tea.

I think I found a game to get back into these with.

Has anyone emailed Lugnut again about the admin only link?

Man you guys are way ahead of me. Will I eventually get to the point all of you are at if I watch the videos from the start? I ask because there might be a spanse of time when I won't be able to play this game and I don't want to fall behind and miss out! Sad

I think Rowan's guide (linked in the first post) is a really good way to get up to speed. It helped me a lot yesterday. But yeah, you should watch the videos. They are hilarious.

Hope they keep that low profile before Various, Inc. and Penthouse tries to sue them...

Don't ask. Wink

I just got back home and found a mail saying someone called "Marian Martinez" had left a comment in my robotfriendfinder profile... but when I got in the website, it seems like that user has been deleted, as well as her comments. Anyone knows anything about this?

She sent a message to everyone at the same time, "click here to see my webcam and watch me strip" or something like that, you've seen the spams everywhere a thousand times before.

Although, I thought about clicking it, cause I would be able to explain it away to my girlfriend with "I thought it was IG!!!"

I sent a message trough the feedback option and I just got a response from Lugnut telling me it was an automated program, so I guess it was not IG. But how ironic to kick a bot from robotfriendfinder xD

I think the thing I like best about Lysithea's response video is that Lysithea-the-robot does the whole reaching-up-to-the-webcam-to-turn-it-off motion that all YouTubers leave in their videos.

Lugnut posted a video about getting a new body. at the beginning of the video is tinyurl.com/ and at the end is 14353612454221

I guess everyone noticed there are some color flashes in the video wich seem a bit off. If you count the flashes, there are exactly 14, just like the numbers in the end of the video. My guess is that
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
we should take a letter from each of the colors in the order they appear, the problem is that I don't know the right word for each color, but my list would be: red - orange - yellow - green - blue - purple/violet - purple - green - purple - orange - bule - red - purple - violet - yellow
I've tried the tinyurl with rnlnueprpneeuy (with purple) and rnlntvrlneeiy (with violet), but doesn't work


EDIT:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
In the forum you can download the video and watch it better (or just open it from there with a quicktime thing), and I just realised that the first violet is different from the second violet... and seeing the order, I think the proper way to call the names is the ones from the classical rainbow pattern: red - orange - yellow- green - blue - indigo - violet, as the first 7 colors are in that order.

ROY G BIV for teh win!

Here's the answer:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
As Tenchizard said, match each number with its corresponding letter in each corresponding color of the rainbow. That gives you http://tinyurl.com/rnlnuovrigeeiy , which links you to http://www.robotfriendfinder.com/iknowtoomuch . Which has only the the text "I know too much".


It would seem again that there's something deeper going on.

Also, there's binary in the source of that page, which translates to: 'this is not a marketing campaign" =)

nice solve! Ok, so there's something wrong here, and I think Lugnut knows something. I sent him (or her, or it, or whatever Razz) a mail replying to the one I got from MBILF admin asking about there being only one video, and a link for admins so visible. His reply was:
Quote:
Thanks for your concerns. Your complaint has been forwarded to the proper authorities on the matter. As for the "Admin Only" section... it is, as it says, only for MBILF.biz admin.


But, the important think was the signature. It said Lugnut, BUT it was a link to the video with the rainbow colors, as a way to signal me there.

I have just sent a mail to lugnut trough the robotfriendfinder site, thanking him for what he did with that bot yesterday, and telling that if he ever feels like he knows too much, I'll lend a hand. Let's see if he tells something more about all this...

Hey all,

Been interested in and floating around reading about the world of ARG for a while, but this is the first time I'm been amazed, excited and intrigued enough, and early on enough, to get involved. But this thing is just amazing.

I'm pretty caught up so far -- I'm not a great puzzle solver, but I do like roleplaying, so I figure a good way to engage with this one is to create a character and really immerse them in it. So I've spent the past hour signing up to the various sites and messaging the people involved to see what response I get. So for the next while I'm a lonely Scottish robot called H(e)x. WHich is partly true.

I've sent Tim an e-mail saying I think O11ie's kind of cute and if he could set up an online chat between us. Also offered Lugnut a friendly ear if he ever feels too stressed. Let's see where it goes!

H(e)x.
