Well Gerhard appears to be of German / Austrian origin based on his accent and web addy so the more the merrier .
So does your home screen look the same as mine or any extra bits?
Im also thinking of popping an SQ off to Gerhard along the lines of "Who is the shadow" or "What are the Shadows intentions". As we are totally in the dark at the moment (pardon the pun)!

Some of the characters of liebkind2044 also had a backgound in germany, didn't they?
No extras, my screen is exactly the same as yours.
That question would be a good point to start from, I think.

Okay I'm in I think, trying to do my own writing at the moment however this does look quite interesting.
ETA: Pardon me pointing out the obvious but I would think that the shadow is merely G's alter ego.

Cool, we have our first four players.
Quote:
Which agent will be responsible for which aspect?
Oneeyedgod Technology
Cherry Social
Gninrael Nature
Seadevil Resources
Who will be the lead agent?
I will begin as the lead agent although we intend to rotate this where/when needed to ensure the best use of our talents.
Recruit an army that is:
Diverse - We are made up of various ages, backgrounds and talents
Decentralized - We currently cover three agents across Europe and two agents in America.
Independent - You will soon discover that although we work well as a team we are also very independent in our own rights.
How will you solve the coordination and cooperation problem?
I have already exchanged skype details with all agents (not yet true as i havent spoken with oneeyedgod ) and we have a secure means of discussion and dissemination of data (an OOG forum!)
How will you recruit an army without revealing the Secret Headquarter?
Our army is vetted one person at at time and will be formed based on mutual trust and a history of previously working together on challenges before. They understand the inherent risks in the work we perform and the need for security and confidentiality.
I will submit the plan above so let me know if you want me to capture anything else. We also need to submit our SQ's before the above so as not to lose them when the next phase begins.

Russell,
sounds like you and the other 4 leading agents have started well.
I would like to volunteer to be part of the army, as I see we need to stop George from developing the Primus game engine into a full game that can be used for nefarious purposes.

Not as well as you think, can't get the bloody symbol to work, even tried my tablet pen. Whilst I commend the PM on such a clever method of entry to a website, it however going become quite annoying after awhile.

Just had a quick skype session with seadevil and we positted three questions as below:
Quote:
What is the shadows ultimate goal?
Why is this called project Awakening?
What happens to the Shadow if you (Gerhard) die?
Since we know very little of the background story at the moment and we have our first four characters I think we should move it to the next phase to lose as few increases in BPM and temp as possible. Also i think we will likely get more footfall in the game once we move into the challenge/story modes and people have something tangible to get their teeth into.
I will send the above off in a couple of hours so if any changes or alterations then let me know.

I got my agent log-in! I watched the video and am reading the thread to catch up. Thank you for coming up with the questions; they look great.

New puzzle and Vlog.
So in my opinion, its clearly a constellation but not sure which...

Comment from Gerhard - I am not entirely sure what these lines represent, but they look like being ripped apart, don't they? And why did he show me these lines?! I'm confused.

Well, that's the best approximation to connecting stars.

Well lets point out the obvious first:
Lines of two different colours: orange and green. Look more like bits of straw than anything else.
Black circle with white short dashes seemingly random across it. Each dash has a small grey dot beside it barring one. Perhaps a starting point.
I suppose it could be a night sky, the grey dots perhaps representing planets seems a little consistent for that though.
Perhaps rotating it will give a different perspective.
ETA: OYG, which constellation is that?

I don't know if it is any constellation at all.
I just tried to connect some of the dots with the lines.
