June 14th

New changes on stamp code (agent code 4064436) have been noticed.

Between 02:00 and 04:00 noise on it sounded deeper and there were few tones at 400Mhz. Offset seems to be different every time we called.
http://otp22.referata.com/wiki/Message:06/14/2013/4064436/02:45|




At 04:00 tones are not there anymore but noise stays deeper than it was day before

El Cerrito drop

Do you still need someone to get the El Cerrito drop? Because I live in the East Bay maybe 20min from there and can go check it out. I've been lurking this for a while and find the entire game/project/whatever-this-is fascinating. Would love to be able to help.

UPDATE - I have the drop. Two black CDs - one is a Ubuntu disc (haven't looked thru it) and other has two audio files. I'm on IRC now & uploading files for analysis. Will post about experience later.

Alright. I'm going to read up on the current story, and possibly go to Ft. Lauderdale. I'm in Gainesville, so it's not terrible.

I'd like any and all help in figuring out a way to record the call once i get there. specifics, like speed at which things are said or possibly what to expect, would help immensely. Thank you.

You can join us in chat to get further instructions:
http://webchat.freenode.net/#arg

If you cant join us there: you need to call MoD (888 854 2402) number, and record it if possible, for recording you can use your phone, ipod or some other older voice recorder.

Here are all instructions we got about this drop: http://otp22.referata.com/wiki/Fort_Lauderdale_Airport

Recording is highly recommended, maybe directions will be long, might be encoded and it is nice to have something other people lurking abound can listen to.



Also try to take few pictures of the location around the TDD phone if there is maybe some sticker with number or something written on it

We have no idea what you can expect, it might be message like Black otp mesages
it might be some song
it might be some spoken message
or maybe MD guy will answer in person

Since it is TDD phone message might be in text form also.
It might be only one number that will point us to new agent number.

If you are trying to catch up check this pages:

Nothing really new. All agent system numbers are down playing sirens only. This started somewhere during the time when we picked up the California drop. We are not sure what triggered this. It sounds like emergency code was triggered, but it lasts longer than usually.


Listen to this interesting recording of Twisted Evil warning Twisted Evil followed by Question strange song and our beloved Surprised "iloveyou weloveyou foreverbeautify" in baby voice.


Arrow http://vocaroo.com/i/s1KMkGy4YZcD

If there is someone on UF that can transcribe that mysterious song to notation it would be appreciated, since maybe there is some hidden message in it. Nothing certain though, it might just be a creepy song.



We had some success with Florida FDD payphones drop, but we didnt receive any information about it yet. Apparently one player asked some worker from Airport for help and they managed to obatain some memory card. But we didnt receive it yet.

Grimangel check in IRC before heading to drop point, maybe we will have any more info until then.

We have some news from Florida TDD Payphones.

We know what
Quote:
IMPORTANT
INSTRUCTIONS ON NEXT STEPS. //

are:

According to L0j1k message was:

Code:
[21:41]   L0j1k   like i've said before: PLEASE REMOVE MEMORY CARD. PLEASE WAIT. FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS WILL BE ON 674826.

no recording though Confused

Code:

23:01 <L0j1k> 954-359-0332 (the *exact* TDD payphone number) no longer responds with TTY tones or MD's buzzing


Memory card was not found yet. Agent system is still down so 674826 agent number was not tried yet.
We hope memory card is hidden or taped to that keyboard that pops open.

We did some learning about those phones and now we actually know how thing is supposed to work.

Basic instructions: http://www.krownmfg.com/us/images/instruct/pptty_maual.pdf

Since we visited TDD phones in florida agent system was down. Playing sirens. It looked like EMERG CODE was triggered although nobody of us admitted to trigger it.

OTP22 Music

Aloha, everyone. I'm OTP22 player L0j1k (guy who worked Fort Lauderdale and found and decoded PSK31 tones, among lots of other stuff). We are currently at a point in the "game" where we are in need of musical people. What I mean by this is that we need someone to "transcribe" music that we have into readable, "sheet" music form. It's probably not necessary to generate those lines (whatever they're called -- clearly I'm *not* musical), but my instinct is that the tones in a couple of the pieces of "music" have significance, or convey a message, or something of the sort.

If you are able to transcribe music into note form, here are links to the three "songs" we need notes for:

PSK31 guitar:
http://dialer.otp22.com/2013-06-24%2003-45%20UTC%20-%20202-999-3335%20-%20674826.wav

And again, but with the PSK31 signals equalized out:
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1SvgZjsNDtW

"Robot techno dance song" (sorry for the size -- it's 100Mb). Along with the PSK31 Guitar song, this is important:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26636688/1AudioTrack.aiff

Finally, the "robot step" song in the post above:
http://dialer.otp22.com/2013-06-22%2007-04%20UTC%20-%20303-309-0004%20-%2016041.wav

THANK YOU to anyone who read this far. And thank you to anyone who is willing to step in and help us out here. Smile
