 		I can't code, but I've seen coding before.. it's definitely made up for the game, but I don't know what the significance of it is yet. It should refer to the computer email system but it almost seems to reflect the emotions of F instead. I'm wondering if that's unintentional on the part of the game-maker. The emails are definitely going through a security, hence blocking important things like name or location.

Quote:
Me: I'd like to hear a little bit about your friend. It seems like an appropriate time to reflect on his passing.

Quote:
F: his name was jonathan.his favourite colour was blue.he remembered.

Quote:
Me: Jonathan sounds like a lovely guy. I love the color blue as well. What did he remember?

Quote:
F: everything


...so much for being specific. Laughing

If location is important, what places spell 'favorite' with a u, from the ones that the timezone narrows it down to?

 		just asked him this.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
you told one of us that 9814 was your friend. How do you know that?
Do you know anyone else on the danger list?
Can you talk to them?


got this back.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
no,Jonathan was placed in my compound before being moved to his own.that is how i know him.


thoughts?

Also over here we spell favourite like that. I'm in australia and we spell like the europians
he is definably from Europe

EDIT: I asked him if he knew about DFG security and he simply answered 'the system'

 		Awesome. We're slowly getting somewhere, although I have no idea what it is.

I just got this:
Quote:
Me: What about 1274? That seems like an interesting number to me. Is it taken?

Quote:
F: they are functioning.



So the compounds in the list refer to.. buildings, locations, rather than chemicals. The letters could be compound designations. Numbers are people.

X - 9814, Jonathan, is dead.
A - 1274, unknown, is alive.
F - 3927, unknown, is alive.

I'm going to try emailing the A equivalent to F's email address and see if it bounces back.

EDIT: Close, but no dice. Would have been cool though.
I emailed
Code:
comp.A.1274SPLATgmail.com
, and it bounced, for the record.

 		going back to the image he wanted to send me.
He said he couldnt find the command to upload it.
Now say this is a game right. What if we found a command to upload or link or show an image?

Edit: also apparently Jonathan was taken away because he was going to tell 'F' what he remembered.

Ooh, I like how you think.

Try.. ?-DFG:ACTIVATEUPLOAD-? with the < around it?

I have also just been informed that, quote, "only compounds E and above have computer access." And he is F, and X is dead. Convenient for us, huh? Looks like we'll be with him for a while.

EDIT: "compounds D and below are primitive."

EDIT 2
Me: "What are in the compounds?"
F: "low intelligence,lacking initiative."
Me: "and you have initiative?"
F: "i sent out the emails for help,didn't i?"

Touche, F, touche.

 		eh...um...

I sent him the command...

got uh... this in return.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Hello, this is DFG security. We appreciate your attempts, and in fact we find them rather amusing, but sadly you are not going to help 3927 that easily. I will upload the file anyway, but just not tell you where to find it Wink


yeah, that sent a shiver up my spine... o.o

Hmm. Good try, though. I'm definitely thinking the code is merely nonsensical as far as having meaning to the game.

Dangit, it could be anywhere on the interwebz. XD

BING-FREAKING-GO. LOOKIE HERE.
I basically praised him for having initiative, as it's the skill that will help him survive and be rescued.

Quote:
thankyou.if you have initiative,you will be able to read my next message.it is the only way for you to be able to find the picture.


There's a website somewhere. I'm almost sure of it.
Hilariously enough, message.it is an actual website, but it's for an italian video company or something. I do find it telling that each time something is made into a link, it's always .it, which is an italian ending to a website, like .com or .uk or.. you get the idea.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DFG


A german research center.
It fits.

I found that website a little while ago.

 		Me: What picture?
Quote:
F: of the house.DFG uploaded it.
enod ma i nehw LRU eht uoy evig lliw i .lanimret GFD eht ta gnikool yb ,etis ytiruces GFD eht rof hcraes lliw i


This was all in white text (you know, like, 'highlight to read' kind of thing) in the next email he sent. It's simple to read as it's backwards.
So basically, there's a website relating to the DFG security, he's gonna search in the terminal, and we'll get the URL once he's found it. I'm thinking unless we get more communication, it's time to sit and wait for the website to be ready?

EDIT:
Quote:
F: almost done do not worry


(Final touches, maybe? Razz )

 		I'm a little worried for 'F' he is hearing voices all around and they are getting louder. I hope he has time.

Me: Okay F, that didnt work. Are you still there. I got a message from DFG security. I hope i didnt get you in trouble.
Tell me your okay.

F: i hear the voices.

Me: What are they saying, are you hearing them from outside?

F: hearing them from everywhere."contact breach""communication breach"

Me: from everywhere? do you mean they are coming from speakers or something. are the voices in your head?

F: i don't know.

Me: I think we are going to be able to find the picture. Are you alright though, are you still hearing the voices?

F: they are getting louder.

Me: do you think you are in trouble?

F: alarms.


this started after i got the message from the security.

 		Nah, sounds more like an external thing. I don't think voices in his head would be saying "communication breach".
They're probably security or something, they know the emails have been sent but not by whom, so they're searching.

EDIT:
Quote:
there is a terminal on the website,you should be able to get information from it.

 		I've asked and am waiting for a reply.

I love ARGs, but I've forgotten how slow-going they can be Razz

EDIT: http://dfgsecurity.x10.mx

It's asking for a password. Time to try everything ever.
