It's on the doc's blog as a "Treaty of Viutsywz mlw Lrwkl"

Yes. It is a Vigenere Cipher:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Key is "Sacred Sites"
Plaintext: "Discover the Truth"


Not sure how this is useful yet...

ETA: I'm doing my best to use the game's forum. However, when I add the plaintext to a forum, IT REFUSES TO DISPLAY IT! Wild....

Yeah, their forum kinda sucks. It doesn't let you do alot of things. I had to use bullets just to be able to begin a new line. It even removed space between sentences. Maybe they will work on it a bit?

Hey.... how did you do that on your post?
How did you get it to start a new line?!

I'm kinda confused by some of the other stuff too. The site is sorta set up similar to like a ning or whatever, and if you go clicking around on the people, (like those who make the posts on the main areas of the site), you'll see older stuff. So I don't know if these "members" are also part of a larger network type of thing, or maybe the designers of the game, or what.
But the game & site are just starting up. It's not an "old" or dead game. It JUST started.

This may help.... meta:

awesome its been posted. The Dr had his first session at FANExpo in Toronto this weekend when it was officially launched, which is why there's been little to no activity. So the game's on now.

As or QRs, there are 9 posters spread around the expo floor, 6 of which I've found. I'll be posting as soon's I get back.
I tweeted (4DF) from Declan's session about it.  meta, but it's being run by zeroes2heroes (.com)
All the info about what it is and for is on thegodslake.com, that I could see.

based on Declan's actual presentation, it looks like it's got some potential Smile and a video of it should be available soon as well, hopefully.

Will the presentation made by the good doctor be made available online for the rest of us to see and hear?

If not, I hope to get a copy to share. I was a few minutes late as I was in line for Bruce Boxleitner's autograph =) But what I saw (~45 mins of an hour) was pretty good stuff Smile

Facial Recognition at IronClad website

There is an "investor login" link at the bottom right of the IronCladProperties.com site. The login isn't working yet, but in the source code it mentions "ARGFacial.swf" and title="Face Recognition" alt="Face Recognition".
Maybe this only works when you have a webcam???
Yes indeed this only works when you have a webcam. When you launch, it prompts you to use the webcam. I put up all the players so far (including Marco Polo) and the QR markers. Nothing worked. I'm sure someone will rip the SWF apart eventually and have a peek...

Given that 8 & 9 were in the same place I gave these a shot and they work:

http://mobile.thegodslake.com/qr1.mp4
http://mobile.thegodslake.com/qr2.mp4
http://mobile.thegodslake.com/qr3.mp4
http://mobile.thegodslake.com/qr4.mp4
http://mobile.thegodslake.com/qr5.mp4
http://mobile.thegodslake.com/qr6.mp4
http://mobile.thegodslake.com/qr7.mp4
http://mobile.thegodslake.com/qr8.mp4
http://mobile.thegodslake.com/qr9.mp4

The resulting letter code is:
'adegklos which is God's Lake anagrammed. Neither the original nor God's Lake works in the password field though.

ETA: Just happened to notice on the site it's Gods' Lake, which works as the password for the teaser here: http://thegodslake.com/

So I missed getting to the booth during the expo as it wasn't listed in the program, but I managed to stop by after the expo was all closing down and found these (in the empty booth)... don't know if the phone number's been mentioned yet. Will have a chance to look more into this when I get home.

It's the same phone number on the IronCladProperties.com website.

AzureWolf well done! Very Happy Slap on hand to the PM for allowing those vids to leak. Hopefully there will be lots of puzzles to work on before Oct 31st hits...

Anyone else feeling a little uncomfortable with the whole "god" thing?

technically they're not leake if you're referring to 1-9.mp4. Those are where the QR codes on the 9 posters at the expo link to. I found 6 of the 9 posters (and mp4s, but haven't yet watched them)

I think this was just the first of the puzzles.

As to the god thing, not uncomfortable at all. It's involving ancient sacred sites and the ancient gods of pre-christian religions. It would like being uncomfortable with a game that used Egyptian myths as the bases. But then again, I'm also a former Archeology major and this stuff is old hat to me LOL

Bruce awesome work! Really nice work indeed and kudos to everyone else. Just watched the teaser thxs to Tenshi reminding me (lol)


I have tried the phone number.... I think there is still a little we are missing or the sites are just not active yet. Hopefully it is the first one and not the latter.


So everything hits its mark on Oct 31 according to the main site... I would hope we have more work to do...
*cracks knuckles*

Very Happy
