Lol why do you say that? the audio files are clearly working as a distraction and also a clever side project for people that really want to spend a sick amount of time on them. I'll bet they only expect a small few of us to figure those damn things out, whenever the hell we finally get all the pieces at least. And ill also bet you $50 the audio puzzle is the key to what the hell is going on with those IP address's and this Henry... and hopefully shed some light onto employee 1195 as well.

I've got a bad feeling that since I still can't put more than a few of the current audio files together to form sentences (Ive been working them out on a whiteboard at my work and a select few DO seem to match up), we've still got a shitload more to receive. We've been getting them almost daily for a month and I can't help but think we'll keep getting them until "milestone 3" hits... and God I hope no longer than that.

Okay, so I'm way interested in this iDGi mystery, but I have a hard time holding all of this in my head. I think we need to organize what we know. So I made a wiki on everything we've uncovered. http://interdimensionalgaming.wikia.com/wiki/IDGi_Wiki You can use it if you'd like. I hope you do. It definitely needs some help, as it doesn't have very much of what we know yet.

This just seemed to be a better way of organizing all the information already uncovered than going to the interdimensionalgaming.com site. Anyways, we seem to be sharing everything about as fast we discover it, which I think is good!

So if you know something about this scenario, please go to the wiki and share it!

Edit: made the link to the wiki more obvious.

Was beginning to think a wiki is a good idea for this game now that levels of info are brimming over what most of us can remember at once. I'll give you a hand on the wiki if you like since I've been following from the start and I think I've got a pretty good grasp on everything that has happened.

Not great with analyzing audio, but have been racking my brain trying to find a code in these symbols.

There's a new .gif file in the new dowload similar to the previous one.

I substituted letters for symbols for both files and came up with the cryptograms:

AB C DBEC FG HFIEJCKG JCC CE (behind.gif)
LC MBEH FG ANC DNIEDN (re-direction.gif)

Running through a crypto solver I got:

Around frame #75-76-77-78 of the new animated gif is the IP address: 217.82.127.213, which leads to the message we've already seen:

I just came up with a theory regarding the genres of the music, not if it's important, but he asks if we like music and then proceeds to give us industrial and avant garde songs, both of which are often referred to as anti-music, idk if it means anything, but if it helps than try it?

I think you're right about the genre of songs being important. Vidal Desertch says in his twitter feed that he thinks that the particular songs selected mean something to "the watcher". I don't know much about the songs/groups selected, any music aficionados know anything those groups might have in common?

Hey, new guy, kind'a. Lurk a lot. Found a new message from Henry on that site with all the IPs and stuff

Quote:

Henry
Comply or I will kill you all.


And, I'm fairly certain - and sorry if this was already pointed out, that I heard the european accent guy (He sounds British to me, and I think employee 1195 is British from his blog) say "Well at least now henry will be safe" in clip 23, so I'm going to ask him what he has to be safe from.

I get the feeling it might be us. But that's just a feeling.

And again, sorry if this was already all pointed out, I've read the thread from the beginning and stayed up last night when I found this game, so yeah Very Happy

EDIT: Hah, just realised, Employee 1195 being born in South Africa really reduces the chances that he's British >.<

EDIT2: Ah, yeah, moved to England at a young age, that's why I thought he was British.

This may be mentioned earlier in this thread, but I'm pretty convinced that Henry in some kind of AI. He may have been human at some point and perhaps an accident or illness forced the others to transfer his consciousness.

Interesting theory enaxor, good as any I can come up with atleast. Razz Seems things have gone a little quiet from the other side of the anomaly recently, and given we've now got ways to interact it makes me wonder if we're supposed to do something here that we haven't yet done.

I noticed the projectb6 page had a link to an article about cuniform writing, and another link to a Sumerian dictionary. I downloaded a basic cuniform font, and I'm going to fiddle around with the various coded messages and see if there's a second message in the cuniform characters.

New for today: talk about a creepy threat from Henry. I'm wondering when we're going to see more information about this church.

Some new audio files are up.


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
In one of the files I am fairly certain the voice says "Henry is coming along beautifully" or something similar. This leads me to believe Enaxor is correct about Henry being some kind of AI.

Update on the message from Henry:

I am afraid of nothing... least of all you and your people.

I may have heard wrong, but I believe you needed to be kept safe. Are you afraid?

Henry
Comply or I will kill you all.


So, we know Henry is hostile or at least defensive, and that we're seen as not only a separate group but a different people to him. So this can add to the Henry is an AI/Program of some sort theory.

And good question cirrus, makes a lot more sense to ask him that >.<

EDIT: Know what I find strange though? In the Zip files that were meant to of been sent by Henry, he references music from our time a lot, and even comments on Jim Morrison being dead in our time. Yet he's asked what year it is for us.

On top of that, it seems like he has some sort of split personality. One minute he's threatening to kill us, and then the next he's defending the Church of Guardians and asking questions. Maybe Henry is a program the other side of the anomaly is using to communicate with us, as opposed to some single entity?

Hm... maybe we can use some sci-fi paradoxical logic to confuse him and cause him to overload and shut down, movie style. Razz

Sorry I am so late getting in on this, but I have went through all 18 pages of this forum and explored both sites pretty heavily. Good Job everyone, so far..

This made me think of when Employee 1195 was talking in his blog about how his father passed away, and then all of a sudden he was alive...and the doctor talked about he was glad to see he retained his memories, or something like that.

It is on blog page two, under 2024 - March 21, 2:58

I have a few more things to add, but I need to gather my thoughts and make one post instead of several small ones.
