Sorry for the repeat posts, but I keep wanting to make the unread marker light up. Tsilon is finally online!

So far, the only message is:
Quote:
Compile sector complete, total progress: 90%.


I asked again about the purpose statement.

EDIT: Downtime period over. Too much stuff happened for me to want to quote it. You can all just read the logs on the site.

Just for everyone's reference, I am not using the login system. The registration is broken due to them not installing the captcha api and the only one with an account is TsilonAI as they've hardcoded that in their DB for admin use.

If you keep looking close enough, you'll figure out how I did it. For now, I prefer to leave the method unwritten. You know, to be the cool kid at school.

Well, I still don't know how you did it then. There was a "your name" field in the source, but I couldn't find it on the page or any way to access it.

Anyway, while, AFAIK, 4PM PST happened before they posted this, there was a new post on the Facebook that I happened to notice in my feed. (was also posted to Twitter):
Quote:
Scheduled compile downtime // 4pm PST


So, another session with Tsilon... sometime tonight?

Online! The comment about "the game" is too funny. XD

EDIT: Ok, that was interesting. I was asking the questions I was at the end because it was making it sound like this ARG is part of a recurring series (which wouldn't make sense since there's only been one CVA). I'm still not entirely sure about the final answer Tsilon gave.

Tsilon tweeted:
Quote:
Downtime - 140m

approx. 50 minutes ago.

I checked grenAID, and Tsilon is not online right now, so, perhaps, instead of "there will be downtime for the next 140 minutes," she meant "there will be downtime in 140 minutes."

140 minutes from 50 minutes ago would be:
7:06 PM CST (my time)

I'll check back again then.

EDIT: 7:06 has come and gone. Still no activity. Tsilon has been up to an hour late in the past, so I'll continue to check every once in a while.

Alright! Tsilon's online!

EDIT: Ended. That session had a lower turnout than the last two. I kind of figured my last question would trip up the PMs... Cool

I wonder if these are the generations mentioned or not.

BTW, registration OPEN!

the text field for telling them why you want to join is the green at the bottom of the page. That threw me off at first.

Bleu Wizard has a crapload of new games listed. Although, this time, none of them had an accompanying post on thereisnolist.
There are waaaaay too many for me to bother listing them all.

Redo's homepage now has the following at the bottom:
Quote:
Current process underway: wizard_bleu.fix,
Image database percentile decrypt complete..
body fields corrupt.
Additional process added: yelodyne.fix.. ▓


And the quote box on the clients page now holds:
Quote:
QUOTE.Yelodyne FOUND
('WHY IS OUR FRONT PAGE IN MACHINE CODE?!');
Assistance request queued..

Just want to jott down some notes here.

I have been led to believe through some careful research that this is to correlate with Canadian developer Silicon Knights and their work on the trilogy Too Human. Reasons to follow below.

A) Canadian. Look at all these .CA domains.
B) Gen 7 0511, this does not exclusively mean the CVA video. Denis Dyack (founder and president of Silicon Knights) was interviewed in May 3rd, 2011 by Joystiq and was asked about the Too Human series. Dyack stated they will finish the trilogy and that they learned their lesson by showing things too early at E3. (They originally showed the first Too Human before being rejected by their publisher and then moved to Microsoft.) Gen 7 is Xbox 360.
http://www.joystiq.com/2011/05/03/silicon-knights-dyack-on-too-human-we-do-plan-on-finishing-th/
C) Gen 6 0203 Denis Dyack interviewed by IGN February 28th, 2003 after Eternal Darkness won an award. Dyack was asked about Too Human. Mentions how showing the old fmv might have been a mistake and how it was going to be better on the GCN with Nintendo. (Boy they keep getting burned on this don't they?) Gen 6 is Gamecube. http://cube.ign.com/articles/387/387626p2.html
D)Gen 5 0697 This is where my research started to get fuzzy. Most sources show Too Human originally announced in 1999 for the PsOne. Most say that development started in 1998. However, there is one source that shows Silicon Knights pitched the Too Human series to Nintendo with a short playable game on the PsOne, or so says Ken Lobb from Microsoft. The only thing that would be unclear in this matter is if it were in June or not. Gen 5 is PsOne. http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/782/782104p1.html
E) Colors, So far Red, Blue, Green, and Yellow. (REDosupport, GRENaid, BLEUwizzard, and YELOdyne.) This could correlate to colored alignments from Eternal Darkness. Wiki says Yellow was a fifth color that was left out, in which case we would be missing purple. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_Darkness:_Sanity%27s_Requiem

That is all. This had been driving me nuts all day and night yesterday. It doesn't matter if this is wrong, I just really needed it OUT of my head.

-edit- added to c and d the generation coorelation.

This is my first time posting here..... Been following from the beginning though. Anyway, I was on bleuwizard.ca and checked out the tons of new game.

I noticed that all the descriptions for the new games is
Quote:
I AM ERROR
This strikes me as odd... but there were 42 new games...

On a completely different note... I was watching the video from the CVAs and I heard mutliple portal quotes.... I inquired to Tsilon about that and multiple other things so hopefully I get a reply.

Three new tweets:

Quote:
Digital oratory medium: // UNDER REVIEW - ACCESS PENDING
(not sure what that one's about)

Quote:
95% secure|compile active.


EDIT: Looks like Tsilon spent some brief, unannounced time on grenAID today. Looks like she confirmed Snorkle256's theory by answering my question about her location.
Quote:

I think this is actually denying my theory. Geo-graphic co-tenant would be obvious, both would be in CA. The next question would be, does the orientation of West mean that Tsilon is to the west of SK or the opposite way around.

I asked a few question and got responses!

Quote:
Question: When is the approximate time for 100% compilation Answer: 100% completion estimate gauges percentiles per cycle.

Quote:
Question: Anon: Is thegamertest.ca important to the game? Answer: Previous generation curatory|assessment process housed on thegamertest.ca. Structural integrity potentially insufficient upon generation shift.

Quote:
Question: Anon: I recently was informed of your youtube account. Watching the video again I noticed several Portal references. Was this on purpose? Or did all of the quotes just fit in? Answer: Coloured portals.. one portal of many colours|all connected.. kinship of PLAYER test routine, requisites heightened, outcome of less biological threat.. substance('dessert') true for PLAYER..


From what I actually understand of these... I think thegamertest.ca was going to be used instead of bleuwizard.ca to compile but it wasn't good enough? Thats just my thought.

Also I don't understand what tsilon meant with the portals so I must inquire further, but the requisites being heightened? Outcome of less biological threat? No idea...

All I truly know is that tsilon is saying that the cake isn't a lie! lol
