 		You're having the same problem that most of us are having. They said it's being fixed.

Ok, thanks. I was trying to read through the various threads to see if others were in the same boat, but was having a hard time finding any definitive answers. Razz

 		Do Level 15 of the Audio puzzle again. It will give it a Tick on your map. (When the fix it, you will get the lvl 50 achievement)

The constellation room, we don't know yet Smile

 		Yes! I had to beat it again but I was given the achievement. The board is green and the room has its look of power again.

I don't mean to be rude, but quit being an ass.

This is not a race to see how who can figure out the end of the game by URL Manipulation. There is no reason for you to be seeing these files.

Guys -- be patient and read up on past posts instead of trying to brute force your way forward. It will benefit us all.


You are being rude, and quite another body part found on a reach around from the ass....


once any information is available in the sandbox of an arg it's subject to all forms of scrutiny. If it's been made available it's either b/c it's supposed to be discoverable, or 42e is being sloppy. The latter might be possible given their performance during this ARG, quite frankly. If the kid got something ahead of time it's the fault of the PM, not the individual(s) engaged in pursuit.

I've checked those url multiple times since the site went up and it's never worked before now, so I really think it was meant to be found... Glitches and website down time aside, they've done a pretty good job of hiding the pages we're supposed to find on our own.

In music, the coda is something you're supposed to return to, so that could be a clue of sorts. Maybe 42e just really wants us to be sure we know about the ToS. Wink

 		So is the general consensus that, after beating the games in the first level of the facility...we're now waiting for the 2nd level to open up?

 		Ok calm down people.

We don't know for sure whether we were supposed to find the other QR pieces or not. Because of that, there is no "cheating". However, due to the uncertainty of the result, it's even a sort of grey area as to whether the gun's been jumped or not.

In cases like that, while it's not "cheating", it's generally considered good etiquette to disclaim the findings and/or solution as a spoiler, or put everything behind a spoiler tag.

We like information here -- but we also don't like fun being ruined for others. The middle ground? Disclaim spoilers. And play it safe when revealing information which has an uncertain purpose. If information is already known, kindly direct people (ie provide link) to where it is or was being discussed to minimize the noise and repetition within a topic.

Let's keep things civil folks!

Yep, that seems to be the consensus.
Except that the constellation room isn't lighting up with the checkmark yet, afaik.

Yeah, noticed the same thing. I wonder if, as we go, we'll enter more constellation keys there, and eventually get something we can work with. We'll see.

Could also be we're waiting on mail drops (especially in relation to the music bounce game). I know T:L got you similar stuff for things like Space Paranoids and the Classic Arcade poster ID.

 		Huh. Just realized something amusing that I'm sure everyone else already picked up on.

We used the Rain constellation key.

The audio test room is the one from the Rain commercial.

Neat.

I'm not going to lie, I missed this.

Yeah, I'm unsure on the first part. I mean going to the next few numbers is a fairly obvious way of getting to different URLs, even in casual use of the internet, so if we weren't supposed to find em, it was rather poor obfuscation... that said, it really really feels like we weren't supposed to find the other pieces yet. =p

On that second part, I have a feeling that whatever finishes the constellation is behind door number 1A. From there, who knows what is next?

I'm very new to ARG's, this site, and message boards in general- so if I have improper etiquette, I do apologize. I have completed the combination puzzle successfully, however there is still an exclamation point on the map. Also, I have one constellation in green lit up in the constellation room, and on the map it has an exclamation point as well- don't know if this has anything to do with it, but the tube infront of the door to the constellation room on the floor is red. I have checkmarks over the jukebox and the lazer chess thing puzzle. The only other exclamation point, which from what I gather is normal, is the one in room 1A.

Am I missing something here?
