News:
The password for the Blue_Concept_2 file actually is:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

unscathed_9

(It didn't work in my first attempt because Filedropper.com is the worst filehoster in the universe and always corrupts the files. I had to download every file stored there at least 5 times to get it to work. This is especially annoying since 7zip doesn't show whether the file is corrupted or the password is wrong.)

But back to business, there are 2 .png pictures and a txt file in the 7zip:

Alter_Realm_Concept_1

Alter_Realm_Concept_2

This is the text of the .txt file:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

MAv3rick_Compiled_M3Ps_Data:

The following are images recorded from MAv3rick cache data on the reccord of M3Ps. The following are hallucinagenic images which were recorded onto paper and then transcribed. Images have been loggeddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

...

You won't stop will you? You just keep pushing and pushing. You know, I tried from the start of this whole fucking thing, I really tried. No one was supposed to hear about this, or even care. No one did before, not until now. You find one cryptic thing on the internet and you assume it involves you. IT GOD DAMN DOESN'T. I have to work based off a directive too, it's my god damn programing. NOW I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE. She knows about you, HE KNOWS ABOUT YOU. this is your fault.

You think I can help it? I can't. Just remember that. What happens now is YOUR fault. YOUR FAULT.

YOUR FAULT

Clock countdown

For any new followers:

the following webpage

has been counting down for about 28 days.

Currently at 1 day, 2 hours.

Picture changed again for the front page.

Title translates to:

Code:

YOU'RE LAST WARNING.

Clicking on the image goes to http://m3ps.blogspot.ca/p/blog-page_28.html, and this text shows up:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

THIS ISN'T A GAME ANYMORE.

I was here from the beginning if you want to know. Yes I made the puzzles, all of them.
I warned you from the start. TO LEAVE.

Creating the puzzles and displaying the information are part of my programing.
I HAD NO CHOICE.

But you had the option to ignore them, and I've been telling you for 14 days

TO LEAVE.

YET, here you are, stupid as FUCKING ever.

I'M BEGGING YOU. THIS IS IT.
IF YOU DON'T TURN AROUND NOW, I CAN'T STOP IT.

SHE IS GOING TO HURT PEOPLE.
YOU'RE GOING TO WATCH HER HURT PEOPLE.

Is that what you want?
What are you trying to prove?
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?

If you view this image, my final piece of programing for this webpage, you're going to set in motion things you won't be able to understand.

I CAN'T SAY MORE, SO PLEASE LISTEN TO ME AND JUST LEAVE.

And at the end, clicking on the picture shows this:

AND the binary there translates to:

Code:

Man of Envy.

EDIT:
It all seems to be gone now. I just see a grey box in the top of the screen.

DOUBLE EDIT: ~~Oh. I'm pretty sure you can disregard that code from my last edit~~ No, it was a picture of a pen. But that doesn't mean much.

TRIPLE EDIT:
You can post comments now.
(Also, hey. Just joined. Smile

)

Frontpage got a delayed update too: (delayed because it says 14:00EST, infact it was 14:36)

Filename of the .gif is:

Code:

YOU'RE LAST WARNING.

Clicking on the picture leads us to

Text on this page reads:

Code:

Picture below that text is:

Code:

Filename "He will fall."

This picture also has a link to another .jpg:

Code:

Man of Envy.

Text:

Code:

"In memory yet green, in joy still felt,
The scenes of life rise sharply into view.
We triumph; Life's disasters are undealt,
And while all else is old, the world is new."

Now watch as the man of envy falls from the sky.

'In memory yet green' is the title of the first part of Isaac Asimovs autobiography. (Second part is 'In Joy still felt').
The quoted text in full is a poem Asimov wrote after the publisher disliked Asimov's original title and asked him to provide another, suggesting he find a good quote from an obscure poem.
Asimove came up with this one and the publishers agreed. The poem is attributed to 'Anon.'
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Memory_Yet_Green for further information.

Below:

Code:

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION
THIS MAN WILL DIE IN 14 DAYS

WHAT HAPPENS THEN WILL BE UP TO YOU.

Yes, I've seen that, but I reposted the pictures cause you've taken the original ones. Means the pics will be gone here in the forum as soon as they get deleted on the M3Ps page...

Also on the front page, text underneath the "Site Last Updated" message:

Code:

Why can't you take a hint? Why can't you LISTEN to me?
Do you actually care about that piece of shit?
Can't you tell something is wrong with her?
WHY WON'T YOU LEAVE? ONCE THE TIMER ENDS, IT WILL BE TOO LATE.

JUST LEAVE, PLEASE.

Hey all, made an account just to get acquainted with the story.

I read all of the posts and I'm having a bit of a hard time following what's happened so far. Can someone briefly catch me up to speed?

Picture updated already before the countdown ended

Text:

Code:

I give up.

You want tohurt people?
I'll give you exactly
what you want then.

Text below the pic.

Code:

Since you've demonstrated such amiable indulgence into your sick and twisted humanity, I give up.

Yes you win, you won! Good for you!

Aren't you the cutest fucking puzzle solver?

Let me tell you a few things, and clear the air. I might as well since this blog needs to be deactivated soon.
This website didn't appear out of thin air, I had to create it using my own programing. This was a challenge because for some reason I was shut down for a few weeks in your time. My security cameras were still operational though. I used them to do some spying on your beloved little robot you've all so lovingly searched for.

She's a piece of shit, a worthless slab of iron with legs. There was no evidence in any of the information I was forced to display to tell you otherwise. Yet, you kept searching and here we are. You found her, just like I was instructed you would. That doesn't mean I have to be happy about it. In fact, I'm FUCKING pissed. You know why? Because you've set in motions things you couldn't even begin to comprehend. And now we're stuck. Now you get to watch and see how this whole fucking thing plays out.

Just so you know, she's garbage. She doesn't deserve the ground she walks on. You remember that.

You want proof? When the timer ends I plan on giving you a taste. I want you all to see what kind of place she came out of. If anything, I want that for my own satisfaction.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

M3Ps was created through your actions, and as such, you will view her world through your eyes.

This is another dimension, one which you control. M3Ps now has the means to show you what she sees. It is up to you to interpret it.

Will you save her? From what? Do you believe MAv3rick?
Will you let the people she sees die, or will you try to save them?

How great is your hunger for the truth? Now is finally the time to decide. A great journey awaits you.

On September 12, 2013, the first circle will die. The man of envy. You will be given the opportunity to change his terrible fate when the time comes.
