Okay, so, I made an account so I could get help on this ARG. So, sorry for the noob-ness in advance.

I just started last night, and:

1. I downloaded all 18 zip files, but 3 or so of them are locked. It says I need a password?

2. I was reading the earlier posts on this thread, and I was confused, because I had no idea what that Hangman Game was. How do I get to that (if it's even useful)?

3. I already unlocked the internet with the answer from the riddle in the Recycling Bin, and I read the blog, but, it didn't seem very helpful...

So, as you can see, I'm pretty confused (this is my first real ARG), and I need a lot of help.

Thank you!

Okay, same noob here. Got through all of that, except the locked files. Now it's looking for my latitude and longitude? Should I put in my actual lat and long, or was there a clue before? I notice the numbers on the side and bottom of the diagram, but I was never good at geology.

Please help!

Thanks!

Hey guys! It doesn't look like there's been much happening since I've been gone, has there?? I was a little worried they'd disappeared on us buuuut I guess that last blog post from Vidal says otherwise. I wonder what that's all about.

To all the old schoolers on here (cherrytree, duke, etc) did you guys notice the change to the .zip files where all the Kevin Chard audio puzzle pieces were downloaded from???? I'm not sure when they were changed but they're very different now. I reset the game about a week ago (was boooored) and noticed the .zip files are toooottttaaally different now and with quite a few new documents and shit inside. So far it doesn't look like much info we don't already know from other areas of the game. BUT it's still worth checking out if you haven't!

As EmilySam said (welcome to the game by the way! If you are still stuck with anything feel free to send me a private. I can try to help!) there are a few new .zip files that are password protected. SOME kind of puzzle is going on here to figure out but I don't have a clue where to start or where to find these passwords.

And to Crunchy English! Welcome! Very Happy

it sounds like you are caught up to where the rest of us are at. You said you can't figure out the email program though?? What do you mean by that?? It should be pretty straight forward I thought? Have you had a chance to look at the forums at all? Personally I found reading those to be the most fun I've had with this game. I like a good story and it was really fun following along with all that.

and lastly - any luck with the video decoding?! anyone? Governorbaji?? when I get home in a few days I'm going to look at that latest forum post from Henry and try to figure out what the hell he's trying to tell us. As Cherrytree said I really feel like the pieces to decode this are there but it's just not jumping out at me!

Thank you for being so welcoming Sublime... frankly I can't figure out what my password is supposed to be to access the email. The exclamation mark is a pretty big hint, but I haven't found a corresponding one anywhere, or if I did I can't seem to get there again. I must have skipped something? I'm only technically at 91%?

The Converter Tool appears to be the key I'm missing but I'm not sure where that is.

I'm not that old! *Waves cane* Anyways onto the questions.

@Crunchy English: At the start of the thread there was a file that time for them passes much more slowly then us (EX: 1 day here may be 1 second for them), but with the way we connect now that is invalid. We are connecting at a specific moment in time and can't move forward. Think of it as a snapshot from a camera if you will.
From the minor AI that is a new response I haven't heard. I did try to backtrack the log for the chatbot but failed in that respect (Naughty me!)
The password for the email is the same you used to access the diary.

@sublimetime: I suspect it's just a revamp just like they did with the rest of EP1. Lot's of stuff was changed. I guess it's too be expected.
On the decoding part I'm just waiting on a response from Henry. If all else fails I could spam a post at Alvarez giving details so he can track down the rest of the brains, but I think we're just waiting. (It's the price to pay for the game being developed alongside the ARG)

So I wanted to post here as a sort of update and say I've emailed Vidal. I'm hoping for some kinda update from the PM's, but we'll see.

I'll edit if anything juicy comes my way.

Sooo it would seem my email was taken not just as email back to soothe our fears but something at tad bit bigger.

This was posted two days ago on the Corporate page:

Anyone read this thread anymore?

Anyways new update on the forum. Seems that Alvarez found the detonator and K-1 had to give up the facility for fear of being blown up.

Of course Alannah is being decieved big time by K-1.

Also Melinda never died? Bah!

I've been thinking of posting and trying to get across info by sidetalk. (Basically by not saying directly what I mean since Henry can probably modify any message through the link.)

Thoughts?

I'm still following. I always have been since the beginning of E2. I've just been really inactive because, this being one of my first games, I didn't think to take notes or anything and I've completely lost track of the story with everything being so spaced out like this. I'll be happy to give my input if you (or anyone else) could give me a very quick summary (not a play-by-play or anything, just the key points that, most importantly, tell me what the major conflicts/plot twists are, and what we should be ultimately trying to do/who we're doing it with).

Ah. Well no one was responding so I was getting worried. Heh. But that's understanble I just have a good head for remembering stuff.

Anyways major plot points before updates:

Code from Unknown: Undecoded due to waiting for Henry's response.

Detonator: Alvarez was trying to find a way to grab it so they could stop Henry

Time Jump: Waiting on the time jump to get more cords and open up the second set.

Now the plot points from the updates

Detonator: Alvarez got in contact with Alannah and she and her friend got the detonator.

K-1: After the detonator was found Henry disguised himself as Malcolm and gave up the facility, and then killed Malcolm claiming he killed himself which we know isn't possible because his brain was destroyed by the gas.

Guards from Facility: The guards were dispersed home. (I) suspect these guards to have a motor chip inside their heads letting Henry control them at anytime

Detonator V2: We don't know where it is but we can suspect it's somewhere close by. This is probably Henry's objective to get it so he can't be blown sky high (which he now knows because of Alannah.)

David Schelter: He's come back from the missing, and says he was kidnapped by a Irish group. He was able to escape when Henry caused the havoc, and he's hiring Melinda Bellhurst and Brayden Shaw to come to the facility. Which we know were both responsible for the fiasco in the first place. Also it would appear Melinda did not die in the mobs. He's suppsoed to arrive at the facility in a few days.

That's bascially the points you should probably should know.

Ok, thanks a lot!

And my thoughts are:
Yeah, why don't you try to get through to her? She could very well be a good ally. She invented their virtual world, right? So that (combined with the fact that she just got a leg-up on K-1) means she has a good handle on technology and what-not. She might be able to help us with our connection problem in some form (perhaps her huge virtual world's huge amounof futuristic infrastructure (if it wasn't destroyed, that is) could be used as another connection point).

Sooo, how does this message sound to you guys:

With as convoluted as this whole thing is, there probably is no perfect response. As far as responses go, however. Yours is pretty good. I will say, however, that the town is spelled Xalapa.
