I don't think you understand the method of getting these codes, there is only one way, playing the cell phone game. Because all of the codes were contained in the game we know that's the only way.

So I'm not sure what you think is being "ruined" unless like lex said you look forward to playing that arcade game a minimum of 16 times.

Yeah, you are right, I didn't realize the method. I thought you got them hacking the Babbage site, not the game. But is it possible that the codes may be revealed later in the game?
I will walk a mile in your shoes before making up my mind, and play to level 80 as you did. Then I'll see how I feel about seeing these codes...

Maybe it wasn't meant to be something for one person alone but maybe co-operating via e.g. the forum on Conspirancyforgood.com or elsewhere (here is elsewhere!) is meant to be a part of the game as well?

It's certainly possible that they had a backup method in mind in case we didn't get all of the codes from the game. However, they were all definitely coded into the game, so it's possible to get all the codes we have from the game.

That said, we may not have all of the codes! Babbage has upgraded more than once today to accommodate more files, it may be due for future upgrades.

ETA: Gonna run some organization here. If you want to be a part of the big organized team, pick a set of 5 from below.




Agent Lex, I'll take whichever one you assign me to. I can't enter them until tomorrow however as I was messing around with the babbage thing earlier this morning and used up all 5. Let me know or just put my name on one in your original post and I'll be glad to help!

Okay, I've given you set 4. I reckon it'll be about 4 hours until we get our refresh of code inputs.

I'll take a set as well, assign me anything.

Here are the lyrics (as I understand them) from 031000, "pegbox/lullaby87":

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
once upon a distant time
a ruler in her (little?) prime
came the key from the dragon lord
and gave away a magic sword

she bowed beneath the griffon fairs? Fence?
And walked into the dragon's lair / den
aim your arrow Emily
in between both (your mp's) (war and peace)


They're pretty hard to understand, so if anyone has a different interpretation, post ahead.[/spoiler]

Okay, I've plugged you in for set 6. Markzpot in chat claimed set 5, so that's 30 codes we'll be entering soon.

It's a rough start but if you can update this, please do.

ETA: A link to the 031000 mp3 would be helpful.

Quick heads-up, for me at least the daily filecodes has dropped to 0 again, so go ahead and enter your codes Smile

Got the mp3 for file 031000
http://x0l.nu/system/files/45/original/AMYoung.mp3

And the email for FD5E6E:
Code:
From: Claire Finnigan To: Argyle North Subject: RE: RE: You've Got Mail

Okay, I kept talking to this guy, and after wiring him some funds, he delivered the goods. I don't know how trustworthy he is, a total black-hat, and full of himself but what do you expect. He offered to sell me some kind of email hacking software but I dunno. Also I want KC or TKAT to look at this before I call it legit but it looks about right, and it should confirm everything. I'd leak it, but I don't want to draw any undue attention ahead of any action you want to take.

Our man is called David, he's a local. Send your runners, I have the dates for May and everything.

And Thomas is fine, let me know if he gives you any more grief over this Marcus character. We should get together and eat whenever you're back in town.

Love, Claire

ETA: Level 80? You are a greater man than I Azure. I got to 21 and quickly got bored/frustrated and my java kept crashing.

Following is an email to thepiratebay.org from the legal team over at BlackwellBriggs. Pretty funny read.

thanks for repeating the sites name, I didn't understand the first time.
Governmental viewing level 3? Is this the final level? what's the boss like in this level? I remember playing
Gradius 2(aka Life Force, aka Salamander, aka best shoot em up ever!!1 no it's not! yes it is! we
dont agree with myself) and on one level there was this huuuge brain with eyes and arms!! I almost dreamt nightmares
about that. luckily I ebeat his ass using the konami code. since then, I've been having serious knightmares about
that brain. just last week I saw this guy walking down the street who looked like a brain (I knows! craaazy!) and I
desperately searched for my NES controller. I didnt know if the guy had the power of lazors or not, but there waz no time to
ask. I finally found the controller in my bag (just under some rugged copies of 2600, a crappy print out of The Coming
Insurrection, a roll of tinfoil and a note with the phone number to a really nice guy I met last night at a bar in a
town I forgot the name of but he had blue eyes and cool shoes just the right type ya know but smelled funky.
Anyway, I pressed Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A and booom! I felt the power of Greyskull flow
through my veins. It was AWESOOOOOOME! Thanks to some previous power bars I now too had the power of laz0rs.
I quickly strafe-jumped to the left, then to the right and then to the right again while screaming Pew! pew! pew!
Nah! Nah! Nah! Peeew! (that gives more power to my lazors and usually defeats even the most annoying bosses and their
bosses bosses). Mr Brain then looked at me with pain and confusion in his eyes, clearly the lazors were working! When
he turned around (probably scared to death!) I quickly jumped behind a crate, reloading my lazors and stood ready if
the brain dude were to return. He didn't. Lucky for him mkey1 I wouldn't wanna turn on my god mode just like that.
So dont think that some level 3 bullshit will scare me. As I've just subliminally (you might wanna google that) told
you, I can deal with any level of bullshit. Yes i can, no i can't but i do!

What's this? Saying all these hot words in a row turns me on! ON! This makes me think about hot terminator chicks and
dudes doing naughty things. Yeah! I'll be in your back! Hasta alta vista baby! Cum with me if you want to live!
Yeeeeaah... ...aaaaand I'm done k thx.

Thanks for the link, you just made it public to billions of file sharing dudes and dudettes.

I could go on a rant here about how no material is kept on our servers, and nowadays not even the torrents, and how
none of the material passes through our servers, and so on and so on. But since we keep on getting these crazy mails
from people like you, I won't bother.
But, on (a) I'll reply
Europol? More like Eurolol! Lololololol!!1 hahahaha ok we very funny
and on (b) I'll reply
Yeah good luck with that. Ask your buddies at the MPAA, RIAA, MAFIAA and the american justice department how much effect
that usually does. We got raided once due the american government going to bed with the swedish gov and some pillowtalking
into an agreement about shutting us down. We were down for 3 days. Not as much of a problem comparing to how long it took
us to get online when a former admin went on a drunk rampage and was nowhere to be found (down for 5 days. some million in
fines, 4 dead sheep and a story never to be told, without level 4 clearance.. yeah, more than you have, you're only at level 3
lolololol)

> Thank you for your cooperation.

Hey your're welcome! Feel free to grab some retractable batons on your way out. If the MPAA didn't grab em all.

I'm all good, but our users might have some questions, so you should
probably check your email tomorrow morning...
