[04-16-05] Trailhead- New Message - Chaos, Truth, Revelation

Someone noted this as being in the Gamem8ker MSN spaces blog, but it's interesting to note that it's the message on ourcolony.net. I don't know which came first (and don't know if there's a way to tell).


you took Our Colony from Chaos to Truth.

and what has Truth brought you? just another day and another challenge, right? sometimes, the truth is a little harder to find. colonies are discovering the truth...is yours one 'em? i told you truth would be harder than chaos. hard to stay on top, hard to stay in the game, hard to see where Truth may lead.

me? i'm the gamem8ker. i'm here to help you turn Truth into Revelation. time is on our side. check the facts.

as always, play if you want to learn, learn if you want to win.

SO here's a hunch about "TIME IS ON OUR SIDE, CHECK THE FACTS"

I think he's being simple here, no hidden meaning. If you got to XBOX.com, you can see that there is now a countdown to the MTV thing on the main page. The counter displays the time in the same fashion... except there is MORE time on XBOX.com than on ourcolony.net


I'm guessing that's what he's refering to. So this begs the question... should we be on OURCOLONY.net at the end of the countdown? Or turn on MTV early. Obviously I'm gonna do both, I'm just curious which it is.

Yes - I noticed that same thing. Thought maybe the time differences were because "colony" time was reading the PC's internal clock, but a bit of chekcing around reveals that colony time is absolue regardess of what time zone you're in. And it indeed ticks to zero a full hour before the MTV show. Leads one to believe that a sneak preview may be had.

But what about the "and what has Truth brought you? just another day and another challenge, right? sometimes, the truth is a little harder to find. colonies are discovering the truth...is yours one 'em?" part? What is outside of the challenges that we're missing? And, a better, question, who's NOT missing it (ie, discovering the truth)?

Well - this may be restating old news, but

http://www.ourcolony.net/thesecret/1.jpg
http://www.ourcolony.net/thesecret/2.jpg
http://www.ourcolony.net/thesecret/1426.jpg

seems to leave us with 3 numbers so far. Today's puzzle pic seems to have plenty of numbers also -- a zero, a four (or .4) and the 512 message...

Someone on another forum posted something that may or may not be significant.

Only a few words are highlighted on the homepage.

Our Colony Truth Revelation.

The initials seem to spell OCTR, maybe this will build into OCTOBER? This is just speculation though.

Yeah, harder to stay on top for groups like TeamXbox Smile

Revelation had better bring some new screenshots- I'm getting bored!

What were the Covenent leaders in Halo called?

Something like Truth and Reconcilliation?

Again my contributions are probably useless as this is starting to do my head in.

Ok I am just getting started on this ARG. I need some help with the front page. Maybe someone can nudge me in the right direction of the clues. I have no idea what I need to type in.

Thanks

Burn
