You can also read Max's wall which I found pretty interesting but cannot make much sense of it.

My DVD had a red 3 on front and a blue 61 on back. But I totally ignored thinking it was nothing.

Now there is a cryptic message on the wall of ARG information which must be related:

Maxwell James Proffitt igeos-eun naega eotteon chinjeol-eul boyeojubnida majimag sigan-ibnida
Thursday at 8:56pm · Comment · Like · Flag


The "blue 61" is HEX for the word "a". Pretty sure Maxwell's message is in Korean and am clueless about the translation. Smile

There is a response in the ARG info FB page to Maxwell's Msg:

Quote:
Anu Bis eoneun hangug-eseo jal an-ibnida. But I am learning


Have sent a friend request to Maxwell-- He only has 2 friends at the moment and his wall is public... mostly ramblings about making money. Anu Bis does not have an add friend button, but you can send him a msg. not sure what to send though... prob need to crack the code 1st

Tried translating from Korean- nothing yet

Yahoo answers knows Anu Bis' reply. From Korean to English it is: I am not very good at korean.

Yes. I'm terribly sorry about that. I do apologize. I am Anubis. So don't message me. I have no idea what is going on! But I love it, whatever it is.

It is indeed Korean. I have found the meaning of a few.

But not sure how to do the red spoiler thing so unsure if you want me to include the words I already know.

Between You and Maxwell James Proffitt

Maxwell James Proffitt May 29 at 10:28am Report
Are you the Egyptian art dealer?

Maxwell J Proffitt

But sadly, I must return to the real world. This looks like a lot of fun. I look forward to reading what everyone else has discovered when I come back this evening.

To use the spoiler...
When you get to the words you want to hide, click the spoiler button once BEFORE you type the words to hide... then click it again at the END of the words you want hidden. So the spoilered words will be sandwiched between the spoiler tags.

And sorry again. I probably continue to confuse.

The last sentence did not come from Max Proffitt. That was me. He just is inquiring about some Egyptian art dealer. Although that may just be in response to my friend requesting with a name like Anubis.

Thanks Casey's mom. I hope I do this correctly. Here's what I found:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Google individual words. You can't use an English to Korean translator for some reason.

Igeos-eun = how much
from
Igeos-eun eolmaissda = how much is this
A website with flashcards on simple Korean words

naega = I, me
from another website that answered the question
What does "naega" mean in Korean?

Eotten either means "a state" or "of mind" as the only thing I could find was a
Korean movie entitled A State of Mind, "Eotteon Nara"


Have fun! I wish I didn't have so much stuff to do today!

Maxwell talks too much. I don't like him. Razz



ETA: I sent a friend request. He hasn't confirmed it apparently, but did send me a response.

Uh... thanks?



ETA #2:

I jsut noticed something else... The "ARG Information" page links to this site...

http://pathologicaltruth.com/reflection/

...where this post links to a YouTube video by "PathologicalTruth" called "The Door" posted on May 2nd (two days before this thread started).

The first few frames in it it say...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Is it about the end?

Is it about construction?


...and I can't make out the rest (I can't go frame by frame with my current tools).

Is this perhaps a trailhead we've missed?

When inquiring about int'nl shipping, asked Jessica about her email comment: "I just do as I'm told."

Jessica at Pathological Truth wrote:
I get my instructions from the phone. The number is blocked and even if I
knew it I wouldn't give it out without permission. They come from a man
who does not want to be revealed right now. He's not a bad guy but he
does want to make sure there is success. He also wants to make sure that
the people who are getting this are the right people. This is important
to him. I guess that's why he originally contacted me. It's not like he
doens't have resources anyway. He gives instructions as to what to write.
I'm terrible at puzzles so I don't usually get what he's doing. He is
setting up something with another person that I don't know (no names were
mentioned) so hopefully soon you will have someone new to help you. Until
then you'll have to suffer along with me.


Maxwell James Proffitt could, of course, be the "someone new" 'tho he is imo sorta Michael Douglas in Wall Street redux. Smile

I've had somewhat of an exchange with Mr. Profitt on Facebook:

Maxwell J Proffitt


Quote:
From: Me

Don't get me wrong... My "friend" invitation was not a business solicitation. In my industry, where social networking is key, it's who you know that's important. And you seem to be someone of interest, I admit.

Forgive me if I'm out of line. If there is every anything I may do for you, do let me know.


Quote:
From: Maxwell

With an attitude like that you could end up as canon fodder. Watch yourself. You will end up being used.

Since you are so eager to prove yourself, there have been five friend requests to this account in a day. Do you know why?

Maxwell J Proffitt


Quote:
From: Me

I would venture to say it's the nature of Facebook. I average 3-4 friend requests a day from people I've never met. I have learned to be a lot more selective as to who I allow in to my personal space, especially in light of the privacy uproar this site is experiencing.

And I do agree that "friend" is a bad term for it here.

As for me, your name was passed along by a business associate - a "player", if you will. I do not know how many other people this person has told about you, nor can I say what the intention of everyone else is.

But I have to ask you a question... You seem to have somewhat of an aversion to the nature of a site such as this, even go so far as to mention that you are "not here to make friends." So why are you here? You post frequently on your wall, yet nobody's listening... So why do it?


Quote:
From: Maxwell

You never gave your own intentions.

Some people listen and some don't. Some learn and some won't. There are millions of people on Facebook and I'm just a philanthropist at heart, giving out for free what I paid to learn.

Maybe you will be one of the ones who pays attention. If so then you will see what I'm after.


...and he accepted my "friend" request. So, besides Shane and "Art Pathological", I'm his only friend.


On a related note, "Art Pathological" accepted my friend request with this note:

Quote:
From: Art Pathological

Honestly, I'm only confirming this request because you have a bunny picture. Rabbits are awesome. They spend so much time insulting everything.


Very Happy
