Summary of Game So Far

I've been playing Speculation through the main discussion forum on the game site but just found that this forum exists. If anyone wants to join the game with us, most of the links and docs have been archived here:

http://speculat1on.net/WE/viewtopic.php?id=34

Everything to the point can still be accessed and played. It's been an interesting SF story and filled with fun puzzles.

There appears to be a RL event in Chicago-14th to 16th May and North Carolina (Durham)- 14th to 15th May

Also, there will be drops in three cities- I'm going to guess in Chicago, North Carolina and a unknown third city.

Brief Summary: Speculat1on follows a unknown employee, who works for a company called Metacorp. Each level has 8 parts to solve, to get into the next level (currently its on Level 4). There's still a bunch of unsolved puzzles right now.

Speculat1on Forums

Topic with links to every level for catchup


TL;DR: Real life event in Chicago, North Carolina. Drops in three unknown cities.
Feel free to ask any questions.

resume analysis possibly lead
a possible lead I just found

In the header on the letter for the resume there are several things blacked out... thru using some editing software I have I discovered the address for MetaCorpis 67 (or 62... can't get it any clearer) Wall St. in NY.

67 Wall St. tracks to an apartment (link here where someone complains about the entrance being on beaver st.: http://www.apartmentratings.com/rate/NY-New-York-Crest-Apartments-888614.html#b)

62 Wall St. tracks to a Holiday Inn Express

I dunno if these are dead ends or not but anything to try to help

Can't figure out the answer any ideas?

This is all about executive order 6012

You have to do a lot of research on the actual executive order to get to that point, people were given ~20 dollars per troy ounce making it almost but not quite one to one for the dollar amount, at least as far as I can tell.

The question seems very vague and difficult.

Even with the exact math of the per troy ounce value, it said it was wrong. So I'm stuck.

This might help

Okay this is what I've found :

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
If you click on the bug it will take you to the following link;
http://www.speculat1on.net/specul4tion+1/4NOICEPLS/44444/crawler.html

I checked the source of this page which is written it Hex, translated it into text and found a couple of URL's linked from this page. They are:

http://www.speculat1on.net/specul4tion+1/4NOICEPLS/44444/dirt.mp3

http://www.speculat1on.net/specul4tion+1/4NOICEPLS/44444/dirt.jpg

http://www.speculat1on.net/specul4tion+1/4NOICEPLS/44444/hole.html

I haven't gone into everything yet (as I wanted to get it written down before I forgot. Embarassed ) but I have accessed hole.html and the same rules apply, the source is written in Hex, when translated further links are present including more mp3s.


Hope this helps in decyphering.

 final event coming??

Hey everyone-- I've been following on the in-game board but I just wanted to give any lurkers a heads up that it seems like some final tasks are coming out (and some require more players Razz ). lots of communication from in-game characters and some kind of "alter forum" that uses players names & previous posts http://sp6culation.speculat1on.net/eXchange/
