Where did everyone go ?

I'm still struggling to figure out any meaningful direction to take.

I'm still here, but I'm compiling data from previous posts to see where it leads us. I'm also trying to delimit the proper path to follow in order to get the things we've already discovered, ignoring the PM's "mistakes".
I still don't know if I'm going to be the one making the Wiki, maybe I will. But at least we'll have a summary of the current work.

MODULE 2.5 FACT SHEET

At the very bottom of Module 2.5 stated as FACT! [apparently]

PATENTS 3,432,563

from 9,158,239 in 2026 to 3,432,563 at the close of 2073.

is this possible?
Would a company CEO not worry that his companys inovation is (about) 1/3 of what it used to be?


let's not try to confuse a designated patent id number from the number of patents owned by weyland industries. part of those owned patents were not necessarily created by weyland, but also from other activities - such as buying out other entities, buying patent ownerships directly or via lawsuits and whatnot.


surely they would have the prefix if they were designation numbers as oppose to internal tracking numbers/simple counting. The wording for the Patent posts used on the site is fairly ambiguous and can be interpreted either way i guess.i I do however agree that mergers, bailouts and take overs can attribute to these variances should they be variances.

This website had some good info on secret patents...unrelated? maybe. but intresting.

Well, whatever you think will work. In the meantime, do me a favor and see if you're able to do stuff, create/edit pages, etc. Made it public for now but I just wanna see how much control other people have. New thoughts, clues, considerations could be posted there, and then, we d'fine-tune the whole thing, in time..
If someone knows more about this sort of thing, or want to try with that Bruce fella, be my guest.

Truthfully, at the moment, I'm not even sure they're done sorting themselves out. Don't know if we're supposed to find anything right now. The last enigmas, we went every possible way, we went deep too, some of us. In the end, the answers were stuff we'd tried early on, just with the dirtiest format you could think of, and was'nt that a treat.

So I'm just sayin, it's great we should document, and study and everything, but we can't go crazy with info overload here, we don't need it, I doubt the answer to whatever's gonna be the next puzzle is gonna be too hard for us, hell we probably already have it mentioned somewhere...

So yeah, heh, just my 2 cents. The excitment is on a hold for me at the moment.

When it says "earns patent 9,158,239" or whatever, I take that to mean that it is Weyland's 9,158,239th patent an not a patent number itself, as they wouldn't have commas in them.



Remember...It doesnt say US patent...

This could be anything since the patents are different in the UK (assuming Weyland is UK) than the US.

UK patents are ID'd by a 6 or 7 digit number with a "GB" prefix.


just to add that at the bottom of the financial highlights fact sheet, their headquarters are in san francisco, ca, u.s.

Looks good to me, but I can't create new pages, only edit existing.

attachments. date changed from 2072(original) to 2073(current). any other data nitpicks within the jpg and the changes on the site?

i concur that all the changes happening mid-game after releasing a puzzle is detracting any interest from the challenge.

I am still here but with all the mistakes I dont want to commit to a lead and have it be a error by the pm.

Right now nothing is really standing out to me so I am keeping a 10,000 ft view of things.

Ok, I was afraid of that. Nevermind, I guess. I can always create hyperlinked pages for every term of interest I can find as people write them in the already existing pages. If you can upload files, like if you zoom in in a picture or something, you could upload there. I'll create a few pages to start with. Can't put much content in it by myself though. First content, then structure, I guess.

Well, probably, there's a much better way to do this.

Could 9158239 be part of a phone number ?

I'm not in the US so I can't really tell.

I've tried using a phone word converter but didn't get anything useful out of it.

Yes so can I now, looks like my user account wasn't authorised properly.

I can upload files as well.
