 		Re: Summary
specifically: (though the letter g is incomplete in this post)

Since people are lazy and can't read previous posts, here is a summary of what the situation is so far:


Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Sachchit has updated the site. What you see is what you get.

The text is grouped onto the morse code backgrounds. From top to bottom, they are grouped in repetitions of the letters a, m, g, r, x.

It was then noted that between each groups of texts the word after "For some is used twice" I.E.:

For some, I am a friend.
For some, I do not exist.

Combine the first words of the phrases that are placed between the morse code groups and it states, "I beg to differ."

After this was noted, I looked at the text grouped by the morse code bgs. I then took the first word of every saying after "For some" and combined then. The following was then noted:


a --> today they see art sprinkled upon reality

g --> tomorrow now has only the proclamations insight and planning produced

m --> the light is as darkness in the moment of first recognition

r --> the theory of fact remains the foremost argument

x--> greatness gained the good way leads to awareness of divind knowledge


[SPEC] These must be riddles. I suspect the answer's first letter is that of the morse code it is grouped with. I.E. "Today they see art sprinkled upon reality." The answer to this one would start with A.[/SPEC]

Elsewhere on the site, several password login pages were found:

dizzorck pointed out to me that http://www.thematrixisreal.com/a/ brings up a password prompt.
Turns out every letter of the alphabet brings up a password prompt, but some are special. The only ones that are any different are:
http://thematrixisreal.com/h/
http://thematrixisreal.com/v/
http://thematrixisreal.com/w/
Each of which have a message on them.
Well, wtf?

I spec that the front page also has something to do with these log in pages. That answers lie within the riddles.


That's as much information that I have seen so far. If I have forgotten something please reply with anything I've failed to mention. If you find out anything new, please reply with that news as well. But please, as I have stated before, read everything so you do not re-post information that has already been posted. It wastes window space and others' time. I make this summary because there is no wiki nor other website concerning the updates of www.thematrixisreal.com . If you wish to make a wiki or information site and follow up on all updates, by all means you may do so. (In fact I am praying someone will... x_X)

Good luck everyone.

 		I think what is said is
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Each phrase is a riddle more user and pass.

 		So, each door and the first letter of either the username or password corresponds with that same letter. IE, door M, the user/pass (or both?) would be corresponding to the phrase 'the light is as darkness in the moment of first recognition'. So, if we know one item, how do we find the other?

 		Got It
First thank you New2This for giving just a little hint...I was thinking along those lines anyway....

I understand why you might not want to share the info....

However, I love playing the devil's advocate....so look at the spoiler if you need a bigger hint (IE the answer), if not its not that hard...yet....
Now we can move this party along...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):


The morse code letter is the user name and the 'door' letter...the password is the string of words right after 'for some' with no spaces...

IE for thematrixisreal.com/a

username: a
password: todaytheyseeartsprinkleduponreality

props to new2this


I love educating the masses...thats why I am here...so I don't feel bad about posting the info...

Oh my god, must be the time (about 2:30 a.m. now) tried this already in several combinations, but didn't think of spaces....*bangs head against wall*

Thanks Smile nearly had this idea buried again.

 		/g and /x don't seem to work for me? has anyone gottten into those doors and I'm just doing something wrong or are these just unopenable doors? The strings used for the password on these doors are really long... maybe its not the entire thing, but a part of it? and any one have any luck with the other doors we notice early on? /w, /h, /v ?

edit: apparently i missed the last couple words of the password for g and x, my bad.

edit 2: I think the password on /h might have something to do with Venus Flytraps. the name of the flash at the end of /x was named venus.swf and in the background of the flash was a venus fly trap. i've tried every combo i can think of using venus, fly and trap. i also tried dionaea muscipula because it's the scientific name.

 		I've never felt more like giving up, and I've never been as far away from doing so.

I'm right where everyone else is... I've gotten past the first five doors, though the rest are what there don't seem to be enough data to get past

 		Quick note
Quick note: The passwords *are* case sensitive. So don't forget to try using capital letters in your password guesses for /h/
