Now that's a comment that's going to do go down in ARG history! haha.

Anyways this is the code:

A quick google on any of these will bring you to web pages about the youtube 500 error. I tried seeing if there were odd one's out, but they seemed to be matching letter for letter.

Beyond that, according to what I've read it's undecipherable due to it probably being encrypted.

Considering that you mentioned earlier Cherrytree that you could not render the Shavian text im guessing thats why they went for a different approach in their email to you.

But im not seeing anything in the code at the moment.

I was also just rereading the lunar lab pages and Nick's profile states that he likes to look at the stars. ahh hindsight on the previous puzzle solve!

It would seem so. I've taken a dive and sent back an email in the same format as her email. Maybe it's just meant as general data obfuscation/encryption. I guess we'll see. I don't have to worry about anyone thinking I'm off my nut anyways because nobody is supposed to use "offical communication channels".

So a couple of updates to go with.

I wanted to mention the old email Amandel and Thunderwolf got, just to clear up any confusion.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The email you guys got was a reference to me and my email. My first name is Dustin on my email, I think it was probably supposed to say Dustin, hasteful browse, or wasteful. Either way I knew it was a reference that I had missed something. Which is why I looked at the other code in the email


It would seem I was right about contacting Future Maria with the same format, as I got a response it would seem last night.

Future Maria wrote:
DUSTIN WE HAVE TRIGGERED SOMETHING DANGEROUS SOMETHING BIG.
YOU MADE THEM VERY ANGRY. STRANGE THINGS ARE HAPPENING.
BUILDINGS, PEOPLE ARE MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARING.
AS IF SOMETHING IS SLOWLY DELETING OUR WORLD.
I NEED TO GO UNDERGROUND FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS.
I NEED ANSWERS.
DUSTIN YOU ARE IN DANGER.
HANG IN THERE!


I guess I can add "Reality Destroyer" into my resume now. Or I guess we all can now!

Finally an OOG email. I'm not sure if everyone recieved this one or not, as I noticed the only reciepient was me I thought I might post it here, just in case:

OOG Email wrote:
Hi Dustin!

1) You have reached the end of Season 1.

2) Due to our final master exams in May, we decided to pause the game. Our initial plan was to reach this stage much earlier, but the game has grown to a size we wouldn't have imagined Smile Therefore, we want to give the game and you, the players, 100% of our attention, but this is not possible at the moment. I hope you guys will understand it, but we need to focus now on the exams.

3) The journey has just started.

4) You guys rock!


Stay tuned.

I had a suspicion it had been canned (hopefully temporarily) although a restart date would make me happier Smile

What to move onto now...

Edit**

ask and ye shall receive =)

Just received the OOG email with some updates to the above.

Quote:

Ahhh that's a shame, just as it was starting to get interesting! Though I fully understand the PMs' need for focusing on exams (being a teacher myself, I could hardly begrudge them that).

I have been working on my own ARG in my spare time... guess now I can fully dedicate myself to that.

Hi all! Good 1st Chapter. The Wiki should come in handy when this resumes so THX bigtime to all the wiki-workers, too.

After a quick meet-&-greet with the Hastul clan I'll be looking around N&R for some fun & Dustin will be looking for a job so we can move out of his mom's basement. Laughing

Fingers crossed for the return of Liebkind since it is now early June (Time flies).

Hope the PM(s) had good results on their exams!

Ediit* Email from Lunar Labs Subject "Have You Forgotten"

Shavian again and decode is something like:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
16 Is true

19 believes that 16 is true

19 is dissatisfied in believing that 16 is true


And i think this is a new page (From source on Liam Top About):

http://www.lunarlabs.org/you/

not sure what to do with either though at the moment....

So I got the email too. I can't really make heads and tails of it. The only thing a quick google search brought me was a verse from the bible about a story some people think isn't true etc.

On a hunch though I've sent off an email to Future Maria (hopefully), just to see if it was meant to be a key phrase to tell her it was us, and we were still listening.

I'll post if anything else comes to me, or if I get an email back.

Okay, so I'm double posting just to bring this to everyone's attention. haha.

Anyways I got a response from Future Maria using the usual encryption method. She added another line into the mix.

Quote:
16 is true
19 believes that 16 is true
19 is dissatisfied in believing that 16 is true
19 is justified


So I don't know if anyone's looked at the source of the web pages yet. All of them have the evidence that lead to one of the passwords previously.

I assume that 16 = The future and that 19 = Nick

I think the PM"s want us to give proof to Nick that what we tell him is true. Which is why Maria added "19 is justified" as he does have a good reason to doubt.

I assume using my own "sci-fi story concept" I'm supposed to seed the story to him, and then give him the proof that shows the future is true, by giving only info him, Maria, and George should know. The name's of his parents who abandoned him.

I'm totally up for continuing to seed the story, but I was hesitant to give away the name's, without everyone's input as that would sink a few boats if I'm wrong. So I'll wait a bit for everyone to give what they think on the subject.


EDIT: On a side note I've already tried combinations of "The Future" and "Nick" as a password to the new page "you" but haven't found anything.

EDIT 2: I assume that it could be Maria or Nick. I've already talked to Maria about the name's so she may already believe in it. I'm not sure about Nick though. I've only seeded a bit to him.

I came to most of the same conclusion although not sure about whether it is promptin us to reach out with info about Nicks past. Based on the last time we tried talking to him on that and he exploded im not sure if we should but at least it would move the story on a little. If you are in contact with Maria, then i would just continue on with that route for now.

The assumption on the meaning of 16 and 19 seems a bit off unless there is a reason you can think of as to why they would use those numbers...

Whatever tack cherrytree uses is Cool & Russell is also correct to question "meaning of 16 and 19" b/c the email's statement is a variation of Plato's Justified true belief
YOU PW solve

Nice one Amandel Cool

Having relooked at the shavian, it should indeed be "Justified".

Sadly am at work and cant access the site to download the exe.

You are indeed the queen of passwords Razz

Ah, for once my google fu powers failed me on that email.

Actually it's still strange that all the pages on the website contain the evidence message, honestly now that, Amandel has solved that it probably doesn't mean what I thought it did, due to just me assuming that since I hadn't found anything connected to it.

I mean it could still mean that. I assumed the meaning behind 16 and 19 just as a general type of thing. To change the future we still need Nick not to make the system. To do that we need him to find a "justifiable" reason to not make the system or to believe what will happen in the future if he does make the system is true. That was just my conclusion.

Now to get cracking on the exe.
