MCI is 1101

Another binary clue?

Another thought. 1127 has been used in a challenge before (It's the one puzzle piece that had the "3" that wasn't there with the full picture) Maybe there's something to that?

Maybe we're supposed to add 98 to Nov. 27th like we did for the Robotron challenge? That'd make it March 5.

The fans are intended to spin. There's an arrow that may be promoting this. Perhaps we're supposed to print it, turn it on its side, and curl it in a cylinder and spin it (like those cartoon animated things. You know... where as it spins it forms an animation). Perhaps the slotted white marks are intended that way to spell a massage when spun?

Maybe the barcode backwards is the idea. I don't know much about barcodes, but if flipped, do the say something entirely different?

hmm, depends on the barcode. Most standard ones are mirrored so they can be scanned either way and still produce the same string of numbers. I really really doubt there is anything left in the barcode though..you'd have to be pretty clever to put two hidden messages in one thing.

*However*...it could be something to do with the layout of the strips on the photo because that would be plausible enough to do. What that connection is..i have no idea. But it still begs the question....how the hell are we supposed to input an answer if we dont have a box to put it in? I reckon we just sit back and wait for the next part of the challenge to come along...because it will!

When spun they just make a bunch of concentric circles. Good idea though.

Anyone know where the barcode reader than came up with the phone number is located?

Unless, the answer will take us somewhere new... like a new website. That would explain why he's been silent... because he's waiting somewhere else.

I found something else by the way.

www.resetreality.com

It looks simple enough, right? But look closer. If you click on UNDERCONSTRUCTION, it's actually a link to a chat server. But I've been unable to connect to the chat server. It takes awhile to load, then says connection to MELANGE Chatserver failed.

Still, kinda interesting that there would be a "hidden" chatserver. Can anyone else connect? I also thought perhaps I could change channels and go to an OURCOLONY.NET channel... but I'm not sure HOW to change channels... the buttons don't work.

The voice mailbox is taking messages again, which means someone heard and deleted some of them (I saw previous reports of the mailbox being full). It still says "Reset Reality, Message 512", in very clear words. Maybe we should try hacking into the message box a-la-ILB?

Just thought of something else...

The trailhead said: "This in not an alternate reality game... this is REALITY"

So the whole game is reality according to Gamm8ker... Reset Reality means Reset the Game. Maybe go back to previous links / pics?

Hello guys. I've been following the discussion, and I'd like to point a couple of things that could be relevant: the pic's name might mean something, it's 112798.jpg; 1+1=2; 2+7=9; 9+8=17?. The other two pics in "thesecret" were 1 and 2, and in both of them is clearly depicted a number 1.

The other one is a message I read in ourcolony a couple of days ago saying that "argolonists are gamem8king".

so maybe we should be looking in the /argolonists instead of /gamema8ker folder?
