Getting into 162? No.
Pretty sure it said make contact with Aether-1. Not log into Evony. Unless you're deciphering the rest of that image. I haven't seen anyone yet talk about the rest.
LOL ...ok
This will drive me mad!!! I'm already Krazy but hells bells.
I really hope there's some reward for those that tried and failed as well as the winner
Thx Thalin :)
Ok, so it's saying to make contact with Aether-1. What is Aether-1 a server or a person?
Just curious krazy...where did you find this?
http://www.evony.com/home/tmd#ps-ef|grep-iAether-1
im wondering if its something as simple as a new login screen for evony.
I keep seeing a lot of things related to Tron: Legacy. I've read wikipedia about this. When I look at the image, there is a lot of coding used, which is absolutely, Greek to me. I suppose the question is, in order to make contact with Aether-1 we have to find Aether-1 first...which I'm guessing Aether-1 is within all the other coded items in the picture, which relates somehow to this Tron thing?
I think at least part of this will be the ability to put our own picture in as an avatar.
this is a 3 part clue (hopefully not 4, lol) we have the part about making contact with aether-1, we know that the script is from Tron, where does the Mind Over Matter fit in, that's the question.
The difference between the clue picture and the picture we assume its derived from in Tron is that the keyboard shows no operator/ hands (hands free) and the coded text (Affine cipher), plus of course the hand written 'Mind over Matter'.
MIND
MATTER
How to contact Aether-1??? No idea, if its hands free then maybe you just think it or yell loudly... "YOOHOO, AETHER-1 I'M HERE..."
I have converted most everything on that page using the same cipher to no avail...clueless
So... I posted on a Linux forum, cryptography forum, in hopes of finding something with proper expertise, but too bad. Linux peeps said it was a bunch of bull****. the cryptography forums said the same thing as krazzy, it came from tron, and there's nothing else... unless clue is to be found in the keyboard -.-
I wished the dude in National Treasure existed for real lol.
maybe we should see on clues together and see what hint they give us - not in detail but on a higher pla
# 4 is clearly a refence to tron which are a game - a game witch evolve froms something old and normal to simthing new it could be great it was new feature or it automate mundane tasks
other clues might be what is in new game play - and as they talk about space- flight - lanuch it might contain - movement from one place to another - in space or serverwide or to some new world
when ... properly the 6th may
zhay
Make contact
A brainwave I knew was wrong but tried anyway was the Aether-1 fb group - hey that's Aether-1, so I contacted it and the reply:
" If Facebook is fun, then what is work? You probably can contact Aether-1 there."
What is work??? hmmm
Whatever the mode of contact is it has to be accessible, I cant see us having to be computer programmers (if you do then I am fooked). Therefore I dont think it's a line of code as such. I found an aether ham radio for mac users but thats too specific and I dont have a mac, plus ham radio isnt a 'toy' thing. So it must be something like an email address (lord help all the poor people we may end up mailing who are blissfully unaware of this quiz and game. Maybe a web address that will take us elsewhere, like the link on the Alexey photo did. Maybe coordinates or a telephone number or ip address traceable by an online search to a company conveniently called 'aether-1 contact me'
Work for each of us (who are employed) is in a different location. Work for Thalin is at Evony? Regan Mercantile? ucool? But surely the contact info is within the picture.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mind over Matter
Does this perhaps mean something like an equation?
eg two over three equals two-thirds or 2/3
eg mind/matter
Mind -
in a human or other conscious being) the element, part, substance, or process that reasons, thinks, feels, wills, perceives, judges, etc.
Matter -
a. Something that occupies space and can be perceived by one or more senses; a physical body, a physical substance, or the universe as a whole.
b. Physics Something that has mass and exists as a solid, liquid, gas, or plasma.
c. Something printed or otherwise set down in writing: reading matter.
d. Something sent by mail.
AETHER?
eg. what we think it is OVER aether-1? or Mind/Aether-1?
/dev/udev/aether-1 maybe this can be adjusted or rewritten? Dev equalling the developer eg Thalin/Bgifford
Aether otherwise known as ether .... is that a..... @ether-1?
i was thinking kazza in tertris u need to solve and finsh to be able to launch (clue1)
maybe to make contact u need to finish or do something to trigger aether - and thats the added gameplay
and in referance to what u linked about tron - was it not a game who was in stagnation and then programmers make some codechanges and it was reborn ( to take over the world (but thats only a minor detail)
i still think we need to look at all 4 clues on same time to solve it - as each give us a clue
so eveny pls play hot and cold with us in other 3 clues
zhay
and i just thougt about this too - in most old computergames where dev in all games reuse ideas from you need to fo alot of stuff to go to next lv of game or as in civilization u need to reseach and build parts to launch for alpha centauri
Correct! Every clue has multiple clues inside it that will point you in the right direction, however all the clues should be looked at together.
thalin - can u play hot and cold with us ... on the clues (dont know if thats an english term) so so we know if we are getting closer to solve puzzle or away on a false trail
zhay
Can we have a breakdown on this clue as to what is correct so far like the other clues please, thanks
Clue #1
Picture 1 - Alexey Pajitnov Yes!
Picture 2 - MIR Yes!
Tetris Ending - Launching.
?? - You aren't seeing it yet.
Clue #2
Leonardo Da Vinci - Yes! Wow, good job.
Coordinates - Yes but you're wrong.
Stars - Ooo really close here.
?? - You don't see it yet.
?? - Solve clue #1.
Clue #3
Some numbers equal colours = CORRECT
Some numbers equal a date = CORRECT
France = CORRECT
Keep going, what does clue 3 mean?
Ok, just stopping by quickly to throw out a thought...in a fun war right now on my server, so haven't had much time to play with this Aether stuff today.
What if Aether-1 is not a new game...but like Tron did...an addition to the existing game....what from the clues we have can we derive that relates to the existing evony, and might can bring it to the new level evony speaks about?
I may be on a wild goose chase again...but who knows...it sometimes helps pan out to follow the goose. hehe
Tron sparked an obsession and following of 'Flynn Seekers' a bit like the Tron version of Trekkies (Star Trek) who followed clues to try and find Flynn and prove he is still alive... http://www.flynnlives.com/...sound familiar?
Tron Legacy takes the story further with his son pursuing the quest.
Our clue leads us to a scene in Tron Legacy where Flynn has hacked ENCOMS new operating system OS12. Dillinger searches the files of OS12 and issues the kill command we see to remove the 'prank' - a video of a dog called Marv.
The same clue also points toward another game called The 'Towers of Hanoi'. That has nothing to do with the movie really except that it's some programming to make the average movie watcher be impressed at the programming in my opinion. However we encountered Tetris a in previous clue and so it may well be important here.
Contact Aether-1? How does Tron fit in? How does Flynns son try and contact Flynn snr?
Acer this is really hard without spoiling the movie :(
whoami :Flynn
password: Backdoor (an over-ride)
I feel the Tron information is important but how it is used to contact Aether-1?
Something i came across related to Tron and puzzle solving & making contact....
On July 21, 2009, several movie-related websites posted they had received via mail a pair of "Flynn's Arcade" tokens along with a flash drive. Its content was an animated GIF that showed CSS code lines. Four of them were put together and part of the code was cracked, revealing the URL to Flynnlives.com,[57] a fictitious site maintained by activists who believe Kevin Flynn is alive, even though he has been missing since 1989. Clicking on a tiny spider in the lower section of the main page led to a countdown clock that hit zero on July 23, 2009, 9:30 pm
Building on Sharkys post:
The Flynn Lives Campaign is another dimesion to commitment. It had people physically searching out clues, travelling and attending conventions...serious stuff.
But essentially a series of clues helped to build urls in which puzzles were available to solve the next bit.http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/v...ic.php?t=29496 ia a long forum post but details all the stages in the hunt to contact Flynn.
The upshot is they were directed to this site http://www.helloflynn.com/ Epilepsy warning: its very flashy!!!!
The site leads you to this interactive page (I can only view as the email confirmation wont come through...aaaargh)
http://i702.photobucket.com/albums/w...ntactflynn.jpg
So......... I assume that either Thalin has struck a deal with the flynn lives Devs to have an Aether-1 contact on that page OR we have a very similar task to achieve using our clues that direct us to a similar interactive page.
So near yet so far
I love Tron. I do! One of the best imaginary worlds I think created that does not have a talking lion/guys walking around with hairy feet without stubbing their toes/etc. However, on this you're going too far into it and getting a bit lost. Pull back a bit, take a look at the image. You already have deciphered one part of puzzle 4. There's a few more in it!
I think I got what clue #1 means.
"Alexey Pajitnov was the major face behind the launch of Bullet Proof Software (which was actually organized by our American Troubleshooter, Henk Rogers), a software company that primarily produced Tetris-like games."
"The module arrived at the launch site on 6 May." - MIR
Launch of Bullet Proof Software. HTML5..?
If so..
Da Vinci Code.. HTML5..
I keep thinking some kind of bot/queue (autofarm?) system. I havent found out all the clues yet, but thats what Im thinking right now.
'Your name will be raised higher than all' & 'Mind over Matter' - this could be an order of a list.
Name
Mind
Matter
or Name/mind/matter
Name
clue solution
Aether-1
or Name/clue solution/Aether-1
The phrase we encoded is most likely a cryptic clue
'Greetings evony players
You have found something that very few will. A secret you have uncovered. If you are the first person to find and solve my puzzle your name will be raised higher than all.
Make contact with aether-1
It begins with greetings - maybe thats a word we use?
What seems strange to me is that a section was written in code, there again the whole page is a code of commands (unfathomable to us lesser mortals). The code is affine code. Is there another code in there? I thought maybe the keyboard may be the base for that i.e. QWERTY = ABCDE but if that's the case I'm not seeing it.
uuu:---F1 <-- LOL looked that up and the first thing i found was even those that understand it find it confusing. If that has any relevance its beyond me
BUT
I did google uuu and discovered the earliest surviving edit on English Wikipedia was UuU the Jimmy Wales claimed he made the first edit with the text "Hello, World!" that leads into a world of hacks and the phrase ahoy-hoy. This feels like my thoughts have rambled far from home again but the fact that they are ways of saying hello and making contact is interesting....maybe
Thalin answers to attempts to contact 'where is work?'
I seriously think we need a prod in the right direction here Thalin
Hi I'minsane,
What is bulletproof software exactly?
This is annoying! :dizzy:
It is the name of a software company that primarily produced Tetris-like games.
But dont think of it like that, rather think the word bulletproof.
Im 100% sure now that HTML5 is part of the solution here. And Thalin seems to avoid my replies and answer everyone elses....
Ok does this mean anything to anyone? The code at the top is some type of Linux commands using dev/udev...when I googled dev udev devices I found this:
http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/udev8.html
Mean anything to anyone?
