So I noticed that many of the solutions to the new hangman game are also words that appear on the ProjectB6 page. Below is the entire list of B6 words -- the one's I've marked in bold have been reported as hangman solutions.

I'm also marking in red the symbols that correspond to the alphabetic cipher code that's been used in the gif images. These are also the symbols highlighted by boxes in the original B6 game.

Nice job with the list, but I'm curious: there are words used in the puzzle but not in B6. Does this mean that some words were taken coincidentally from B6 and are irrelevant -OR- if we had more words will they match up with the cipher and form an anagram (I think that's right term). Who knows? At any rate it's something to keep an eye on.

Alright, time for wild speculation. *cracks knuckles* I think that each Henry knows that there's something else going on in his mind, as the good Henry told Mr. Accent, but they don't know it's an opposite version of themselves. The "I hope they can't read this" message was most likely either about that something else that they were worried about or the "company" that the higher voiced guy accused of altering Henry.

Now this is just a theory, but maybe the messages are being sent by both Henrys simultaneously in a parallel universe kind of way. The two messages get combined and have signatures of both. We know how much he loves music and probably wants to share.

[lrkr]

As long as we're speculating wildly....

I've been digging at the project B6 site for a while today (I've got this feeling there has to be more there) and been focusing on the text in the background instead of the symbols. The only thing that I can find that seems to be even close to definitive is the /5/ 43 in the top left...Potentially a bible verse?? I'm just considering that because of the references to churches/religion/etc., not sure if it's off base.

Anyway, the two passages I've found are

"I have come in My Father's name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him. (John)

and

"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy." (Matthew)

I'm also wondering if we should look into the chess angle more? Considering each member of the team has a chess piece in front of their name, the bishop appearing in B6, etc.

Sorry if my last post confused anybody. Clicked on the panicky man again and the hangman puzzle worked. I too got "fiction"

[Crunkenstien]

Sorry guys, I haven't properly introduced myself. Been Lurking for a couple days since I found this. Decided to make an account when I finally got caught up with everybody else. Biology major at the University of Arkansas, so computers aren't really my thing, but it's such an interesting story I can't back out now.
Also, just googling some stuff. Thought it was odd that the top result for "John Lensworth" was some kind of archive concerned with scientology. There wasn't much there so I assume it's just a coincidence.

[xeroCronin]

Sorry I've been inactive the last few days, but I emailed Vidal about a week back and got a reply, I'l just going to copy and past the email they sent me, with my email below it for context. I'll probably put in on the wiki later, too.

Hello XeroCronin (Null Null), I'll try to answer some of your inquiries as best I can. My initial experience: This is going to be hard to explain, so bear with me. One of ourpeople monitoring me called the experience, "one hell of an acidtrip". He wasn't far from the truth. The first second through theanomaly, I was barraged with nothing but millions of coloredcharacters. Every color imaginable within reams of seemingly randomtext. Soon, everything I was witnessing began the process ofconnecting with each other. I can't explain it any other way. I keptgetting flashes of something solid being formed and then just likethat, it would fall apart right in front of me… only to be rebuiltsomewhere else as something completely different looking. At some point, about an hour later, everything paused and immediatelywent black. What can then only be described as a smiley face appearedbefore me, all in white. After a few seconds more, it became aquestion mark. After exactly 72 minutes from the moment I traveledthrough the anomaly, I was booted out and IDGI-1's recall systemkicked in, bringing me back home. I promised my wife that I'd be home to take care of her over theholidays, so after this first experience I left further research to myteam and went home. My brother Thrie went into the anomaly many moretimes, right up until public launch. Each time, he was booted outafter exactly 20 minutes. Up until December 14th as well, there wasonly the question mark. Near the end of this day (our time), thequestion mark disappeared and the experience turned back to chaos.Over the period of the next 17 days, my brother says he literallywitnessed the building of the desktop screen we see now. Piece bypiece he watched it come together… until right at midnight, January1st, he was presented with the "Hello there, Seeker" screen. Our theory: whatever this entity is, it became first aware of mypresence on December 10th. It then further became aware that we wouldbe giving a greater audience access on January 1st – and subsequentlybegan constructing the desktop screen and presumably the audio filesand everything else. I could be wrong, but this all looks like somekind of game to me, something the entity has constructed to play withus. We honestly don't know how important the information we arereceiving is, or whether any of it is true. We have also determined due to the information we gathered and createdProjectB6.com with, it was in fact their dimension that first accessedours – the instant IDGI-1 was first turned on and several hours beforeI first entered the anomaly. This, combined with the desktop entityseemingly being surprised by my initial presence, makes me wonder ifthe ProjectB6 information even came from the same source. Safeguards: 99% of the experience is a one-way street and nothing physical couldever transfer through the anomaly, either way. Besides the harmlessProjectB6 info, the only electronic information we are able to receiveare documents we choose to bring back with us, which are immediatelyscanned and analyzed by IDGI-1. It is impossible for anything fromthe other dimension to forcibly infect our computers with a virus, forexample. On the other hand, our ability to interact with the otherside is theoretically only limited by whatever form our consciousnesstakes on over there. The "hangman" words: This is something IDGI-1 has been unable to monitor, due to the factthat the words are given out entirely on the other side. This beingsaid, we really appreciate this list and encourage you to continuesharing your findings with us. Meanwhile, we will continue ourattempts to determine their overall purpose and will keep you updatedvia my twitter account if anything new arises. Regards, -Vidal Desertch

Hey, this is XeroCronin, I messaged you on twitter. As I said, I'm very interested in knowing what your experience was like, as anything could help us figure out exactly what is going on here. It may even help us figure out if we travelled to their dimension first or if they came here, or if it was at the same time. Knowing how the anomaly works is definitely going to be key in knowing how it will affect us - and seeing as this is your satellite, your discovery and you were the first, you're going to know a hell of a lot more than the rest of us about all that >.< Also, you said that iDGi-1 has safeguards? Is it possible to tell us anything about those? May help to know what limits there are to what we ca actually do when we travel using it. A lot of us have also gotten words from the new hangman game, and have made a list of them;
XeroCronin: builder
Audiomarine: chipsat
enaxor: courage
BrigitJones: patricia
DLT: freedom
wowo: chard
sublimetime: taryn
VidalDesertch: obsidian
Lystella: archaeology
StrayFromTheHerd: music
TheIllustratedMan: Wirehead
CrippleTech: mystery
John_Galt: aether
Wryn: fiction
cirrus: Fiction
Tinux: movie
Chezzo: philihy
So far we have one duplicate word, which suggests pretty well that there's only a limited number of words we need to find. I'm hoping that if we call on any lurkers viewing our progress without communicating with us to tell us their words, we may see exactly how many there are and have a better idea of how to use them.

Anyone seen any indications of the numbers 72 or 20 showing up anywhere but this e-mail? Also, has anyone checked out the attached website info? (shows up when you search for the website on google), i.e. why it's backwards?

INITIALIZING. : 00. *. G. N. I. H. C. A. C. ] E. R. P. [. N. O. I. T. A. L. U. M. I. S. G. N. I. D. A. O. L.

I've also managed to log on using another computer on another network and I got the word "creativity" in the hangman puzzle. I'm going to start running by campus early and logging onto computers there to see if I can get some more. I have no idea if it's relevant, but the gridded background for the 2nd level of hangman matches up exactly with the B6 page, with the smiley face and earth at the center.

Finally, just in case there was a time component to the desktop that we were missing, I logged in and let it sit at the desktop for approaching 60 minutes now, with no effect.

I was reading through league of extraordinary gentlemen this afternoon when I suddenly realized something thanks to the appearence of jeckyll and hyde, Henry could be based on henry jeckyll, from the strange case of doctor jeckyll and mister hyde, The fluffy kind henry could be jeckyll, and the hostile "i'm going to destroy humanity" henry could be hyde

[lrkr]

Sorry for the double post, but got into hangman and got us another word:

Sociology.

[John_Galt]

I agree about the two Henrys, but I think they are (somewhat) separate entities, one in each dimension, that act as a single being.

And lrkr, I don't consider it a double post if you've got useful information. Keep finding new words.

[sublimetime]

[lrkr]

Okay, new data regarding hangman

First, it seems like any of the words that win the first one (i.e. the list of 11 posted earlier in the thread) will take you to the second level of hangman. I haven't tested anything but exchanging "lost" for "escape", but I've confirmed that you do NOT need to use the one you actually solved for to advance.

Secondly, I played two more games, accidentally failed the first time at

S_I_T (I'm guessing it's Swift)

and solved it the second time for "envisat".

At this point now we have two confirmed satellite names (Envisat and Chipsat) that match the orbiting satellites in the first screen and if I'm right about "swift" being the correct answer to the third, we also have that as an answer.

Additionally, I don't know if anyone's noticed this, but every time you refresh the page with the earth/satellites/etc., it throws up a different set of orbiting satellites.
