I finally got a chance to reply to Genus this morning!

As for trouts, I found my second trout in the Allied Broadcasting thread when I made many speculative posts regarding what might have been going on only to realize that a blog had described it on an earlier page of entries, a page which I didn't even realize had existed until after speculating. Needless to say, I was embarrassed for quite sometime XD Really, though I probably have much more than two, especially with all the times I ended up posting redundantly in terms of your posts when I first joined Failtech or was it FFEYT/Howard Fair (either way thankies for putting up with that, punxtr \(^_^)d ); I was just late in keeping track. XD Edit for my tactlessness.

phantom321, have you looked into/started the campaign on http://join.failtechnologies.com/? I'm curious about what it's about.

I don't like to trout someone's hard work. I usually trout people that are restating the dead obvious for the fiftieth time Wink

I'm still waiting for tracking updates on the Alexander, I suppose. I'm going with the flow here.

There are people who do that? O_O All the trouts I got, I gave to myself, mainly to acknowledge that I realized I was being redundant (never really considered trouts as a bad thing). ~~But ah...since you're not one to give trouts often, would you mind if I gave myself enough trout for a trout farm to commemorate those days?~~ Edit for my tactlessness.

Updated the wiki with contact info provided by zeighy!

The trout is being over fished, I'm afraid trouts are in short supply these days.

Yep! I filled out the join.failtechnologies.com form a few days ago, haven't heard from anyone though.

Hello folks! Back from a weekend trip and found a FAILTECH letter in my mailbox. It looks to be the same as the one Lystella got and posted pics of, but the mysterious message is different so I will just attach a photo of that.

Any luck with the little RFID tag thingy? I have a couple of ideas on seeing how to read that but it could take me a day or two.

I'm Baa'aack! Sorry for being so absent lately guys. I was lurking, but had absolutely no time to contribute. RL can be such a drag sometimes. Anyway, I also received the same kind of package. I'll post some pics soon. My message also talked about a box. I absolutely love the enigma code message! That is freaking awesome. We worked so hard on figuring out how that worked. Hopefully I'll be able to be a little more engaged for a while.

I'm subscribed to the stolen ship tracking updates, and here's the latest from LAINSY:

Welcome back, godder! \(^_^)_

I wonder what the status of the Pioneer is now that Genus and the Alexander have disappeared.

I've received a reply for my join.failtechnologies.com form submission.

Someone named Lilly Yonge ( lilly.yongeSPLATfailtechnologies.com ) responded, asking me to give a little more information, which of course, I did and I'm hoping I get accepted. Razz

This was just an afterthought and never thought it actually worked.... hahaha

When I saw the pic you guys uploaded of the failtech ID... the barcode at the top intrigued me...

I checked it with http://www.onlinebarcodereader.com/ by cropping the barcode section only and it can't decode it... HOWEVER, if you invert the color, it can decode the barcode and what it read was

Nice one, zeighy! That's really cool.

Okay I've been working on a couple of things:

First off, I've decided to go ahead and have Rifter copy/impersonate Matthew Johnson. Matthew has agreed to meet with "Inno Ellis" and not tell anyone from Nox Ordo about it. Funny, though -- Matthew is already aware that this guy is not Inno but Rifter. I guess Nox Ordo knows about Rifter? I hope the copy goes well.

If all goes well, hopefully we can start getting more information about Nox Ordo! And if Rifter can pull off Matthew, perhaps he can convince someone like Pablo Jose to meet with him and pull off another copy?

Also, I've confirmed with LAINSY that Joseph Dillinger and Billy Chan have disappeared/are now untrackable. It looks like these guys + James Barron are the ones on the stolen ship. Not confirmed though (I really hope Matthew knows something about this).

I'm lucky to have a friend who's into fancy phones and we were able to use his Samsung Galaxy S II to see what's on the little RFID/NFC tag thing attached to the mysterious message I got in the mail. Crazy enough, we turned on the phone's NFC capability (in Android phones, it's listed under Settings --> Wireless networks under "NFC") and put the phone on top of the nametag/racetrack. A phone number popped up! Check out the screenshot I took with my (useless) iPhone.

I first texted the number but got a standard auto-response from LAINSY:

Thanks for that! I entered my number, and will be waiting patiently for the next 24 hours.

Also, I facepalmed when I saw the solution to the barcode... sometimes the simplest puzzles elude me o.O

Looks like I've been accepted and put on a waiting list for a participation slot to be open.

The anticipation is killing me, but I must be patient. Razz
