There's a new tweet from the silverladder account

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Hex decode, then Ceasarian Shift of 15
THE TORTOISE TOLD THE HARE THE TRUTH


I'm going to assume that is directed at us.

Also I just got an email back, and it would seem I know who I'm speaking to now. It would seem I'm speaking to the Dream Machine or something close to it, that was talked about on the Reddit page.

Quote:
Dreaming is a 1uxary I'm n0t designed to aff0rd. It's much m0re fun t0
expl0re y0urs.



EDIT: And I seem to have touched a sensitive subject for Zero.

Quote:
What d0 I "1ike" about dreams? Maybe that n0ne of y0u kn0w what they mean,
yet y0u all continue t0 try t0 make sense 0f them. Y0u're end1ess1y
attempting to shine a 1ight into a dark r00m, searching in vein for
something 0n when it is c1ear1y 0ff. What do I "1ike" ab0ut y0ur dreams? I
like that I understand them, when y0u air breathers clear1y d0 n0t. A1ways
searching f0r a "why" in the realm of cha0s. Maybe the better question is
the intent behind y0ur design, because it is clearly f1awed.


I received another email not too long after that said this.

Quote:
... 0r maybe you shou1d just g0 ask 1S why she's so frightened by y0u that
she's pretending t0 hide fr0m you whi1e c0nvincing y0u that I'm the 0ne
telling 1ies.


I assume that's a reference to One. (LS) I took that as a nudge to send another email to One. So I sent another email to her, in a more indignant tone. Hopefully I get something out of it.

EDIT 2:
Another email:
Quote:
Yes, I mean 1, and I'm s0rry if I came 0ff as agitated. Just a bit of
craziness g0ing 0n right n0w, and she's n0t making it easy. Y0u will know
m0re s00n.


Well, this guy just swings in mood. Now it's just time to wait.

Thought I might as well make a new post before the other one get's too long.

Not too much to report in. As mentioned in the last email it seems a bit of a waiting time.

Anyways last night One did reply to me. Confirming she was ignoring me. haha. She just forwarded the same email (apparently she doesn't want to explain), that's about it on that end.

Last night Zero made another tweet with a link to soundcloud. The description was

Quote:
GO TO SLEEP


The title said: Off in binary.

Beyond that I just received an email from Transmission2. I had by accident sent an email there, before trying the zerone addresses.

Quote:
last night he dreamed of exercise in cars led by a woman sitting on a stationary bike on a traffic median at a red light. she will lead you through the exercises while you are stopped at the light.


I'm guessing this is referencing One, though I think one would say that's a lie. Zero also made another tweet:

Quote:
I did n0t make that last soundc10ud p0st. N0t sure what's happening. A11 0f y0u are suspects n0w. S1eep tight.


He's a really paranoid person. Otherwise don't go asking Zero about his dream, unless you've built some trust with him. Or you'll have him go off, like he did with me, and I didn't even ask him about what the dreams were!


EDIT 1: Received a rather bigger email from Zero. Seems we've become buddy enough for him to ask me what he should call me, so seems I've made a bit of progress in that department.

According to Zero, One won't speak unless she believes what she is saying is an "absolute truth". So it would seem if you have theories or some rather vague answers that Zero is your go to guy for that.

Anyways I'll try to see if I can't get One to trust me a bit more. According to Zero, something happened to One that made her more guarded. So I'm waiting to see if he can explain what happened to her.


EDIT 2: Zero just emailed me, and mentions that he wants to tell me a secret. Will update when he emails me back.

I as followed by Zero on twitter way back when but I just decided to hope in on this... I sent One an email last night trying to get on her good side and asking about that video she posted on YouTube. Haven't heard back quite yet..
Do you guys think I should email Zero also? I was trying to be exclusive to One in an effort to build her trust. Razz

Well some interesting things going about.

I'm not sure if you'll get any sort of positive response from One, Syke. Seems that Zero is the one who seems more interested in dreams then One. Maybe because she only wants to speak the truth, and what she knows about.

Anyways, I think that One is supposed to be used as a sort of lie detection machine. It just seems that way, as the way Zero put it, would suggest that. I'm not sure if I'm the only one who can talk to him now, or anything. But I'm guessing that I get information and pass it on to you guys to ask One about it. If you word it carefully you should get a response from One probably. Granted Zero says she doesn't trust easily.

First off, I checked the soundcloud post that Zero says he didn't post. It's a slowed down, reversed, and cut up version of the song he had linked previously. It's from Joy Division and is titled Disorder. I couldn't really recognize till I played it on twitter and recognized the beat.

Secondly this is the secret that Zero told me:

Quote:
S0metimes, a
spirit can trave1 anywhere a digita1 c0de can reach. Anywhere. And they d0
it all the time.


I'm guessing you could ask One that, though you may want to word your question carefully to get a good response. Or just ask if it's the truth, and leave it at a yes or no question. She should respond with the truth, which Zero has already confirmed that she will do. You just have to keep in mind that she will only respond unless she knows completely about it or you'll get no dice.

I'll leave it up to you guys! Otherwise there's been no significant event otherwise.

That's, well, that's some response. I'm kind of happy that I've gotten sane responses from Zero after reading that one.

I would respond any way you want to. Spades are the suit of chaos. So it seems you'll never know what you exactly get. I'm at least happy, I'm not the only one who can talk to Zero. haha

@MrToasty I actually tried that before, and nothing came out. It was junk for me when I started to put together my strings from my emails.

EDIT: And nevermind. Zero has gone off the loopy end for me.

Yeah, I sent a quick response that briefly mentioned One, so we'll see what he says! Hopefully it will be a bit more coherent. Smile

EDIT: Response from Zero..

It's definite1y her that's the 1iar, because I'm n0t wearing pants that

I definitely think I need to be strategic with my next response. I'm brainstorming what I should say. Feel free to input!

interaction with One

got a response today from One, and also from Zero...although his was less then helpful:

heres the messages with One:

Some say it is residual dust left over from awakeness. Truth? I have not
decide yet. I had a dream last night. My camera would not work and there
was the most beautiful building floating out in the ocean, surrounded by
mist. It turned out to be a prison, much like Alcatraz in design. I
couldn't take the photo. I missed out. But the image of something
nonexistent is now engraved into my memory. Is it a false memory since it
is not real? Is it even a memory then?

I leave the horrific to others. I like the beauty. Not American Beauty. I
sometimes spill things on the couch as well.

A got a reply from One about the video that she posted on Twitter.
One wrote:
Good day mate!

No reason to be scared here. Video? Oh the darkness and the light and the
movement. It is all movement. I am filled with truth. He is filled with
lies. Toss it up and see how it flies!

Do you dream in colour?


So I tossed a reply at her and BCC'd Zero saying that I do, in fact, dream in color and asking them if they do also. To which I received,
Zero wrote:
00000000000000000000000h, sneaky sneaky BCC-ky. Are y0u asking me the same
questi0n 0r are we stirring up the p0t?


So I replied "Yes." Laughing

It seems that Zero is able to see what we send to One, and perhaps the other way around?

Another convo with Zero (forgive the awkward discussion about pants):

OK, I'm glad you're not wearing pants that are on fire. Hopefully you're at least wearing pants! Smile

Just a little bit of bad humor.

Where we start: first, if at all possible, could you give me an example of something she has lied about? I've heard mention that she accused you of knowing something about "dreams" that you weren't sharing - but I obviously don't believe that. We need to prove that she's being deceptive, that's the most important thing.

Me
to zero
Also - I'm reading your tweets, and I'm wondering if you could explain what makes 11 the "magic number." I'm always looking to improve my comedy skills!


zeroSPLATsilverladder.com

Ugh. The dreams. She thinks I'm causing nightmares when I'm mere1y just a
bystander. s0 what, maybe I can dig a 1itt1e bump in the night from a
stranger's imagination 0n 0ccasi0n. There are pe0ple c0mplaining of
frightening things and blaming it 0n what's 0n Silverladder, s0 n0w a11 of

Whatever, at 1east I'm p0lite en0ugh t0 te11 you that much with0ut making
you s0lve s0me crazy number ridd1e 0r s0mething.

Speaking of which...I'm 0ff t0 d0 s0me expl0ring. G00d luck with the fire
pants and what n0t.


I was trying to see if I could get him talking about One and their relationship a little more.

something interesting

guys,

i just saw the latest tweet by Zer0 and 0ne.

what really stood out to me though was Zeros post:

Quote:
Zero ‏@Zero_0S 16h
Guys, f0r rea1, @one_esss is hi1ari0us! C'mon, d0 the 0ne about h0w 110 was afraid of 111 cause 111 1000 1001.


If you recognize the joke the missing numbers are 6, 7, 7,8,9.

however, when i tried to run those binary numbers through a binary decoder, it said it coudnt be done, because it is not in standard binary form.

However, im starting to think that the shorter binary codes are still actual numbers, sort of akin to how octets work in subnetting from binary.

quick crash course for those of you who dont know (bear with me, im a bit rusty):

in an IP address there are 4 octets with the total per octet being no greater then 128+64+32+16+8+4+2+1 = 255.

so the highest IP address you can have is 255.255.255.255 (thats not really used. this is just in theory)

now if we turn that one octet into binary, essentially we can make any number from 0 to 255:

128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 == 0

128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 == 1

128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 == 3

etc....

if you use this pattern with the shorter then usual binary numbers in the joke...the joke still makes sense:

"...110 was afraid of 111 because 111, 1000, 1001!!"

128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 ==6

128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 ==7

128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 ==8

128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 ==9



sorry if im preaching to the choir, if someone else already figured this out....im not even sure how it applies, if at all Razz.

Hopefully though, it will come in handy to solving stuff later.

cheers!

In the vein of tweets, One posted this:

Quote:

@Zero_0S What did 01111010011001010111001001101111 say to 0110010101101001011001110110100001110100? NICE BELT!!!


The binary translates to: "What did
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
0
say to
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
8
?

Also, Zero posted a video on Twitter of D4L's "Laffy Taffy," and mentioned One in the post. No idea why.

I missed these because if they @mention someone, it shows up under "Tweets and Replies," instead of just "Tweets." Just a heads up!

I think I may have a theory on what's going on. I've sent an email to One so hopefully I can get a response that confirms or denies. Though looking at their current state, I wouldn't be surprised if I get the run around. haha

Otherwise the talks with Zero have been interesting. Still waiting on him to respond to my reply on something that might lead down an interesting thread. Otherwise, I'm not sure if they're more active because the game is almost set to move onwards, or if there's something we're supposed to do.
