Our Colony NEW ARG!!!

[Crash]

All right guys, this is starting again. Similar to I Love Bees. This is the new ARG to reveal what the Xbox 2 looks like. The game will probably run until May 18 or so... Lets see if we can't participate and enjoy ourselves shall we?

http://ourcolony.net/

Let do it guys!

so far, if you look into the orb, you see a girl wearing a sweater, and what kinda looks like a screenshot to a FPS game (maybe it's perfect dark, who knows)

Lets figure out the password to get in.


we need to form a group, our group will be gametavern, to play... i figured out the password, it is Play.... go in and check it out!!!!!!!

11192376

[Swan]

If you press the enter button enough different things appear in the orb, that's all I got.

[Crash]

Alright, we need 5 people at least to join...

Join the colony GameTavern with the password: 11192376



Want to play a game? I'm inviting you to join my team on Colony. Go to http://www.ourcolony.net and enter 'play' into the empty field. When you're in the lounge, go to 'Join Existing Colony' and enter 11192376. See you in the game.

[Typhoid]

Can someone explain what this is to me?


Because I'm so confused it hurts.

[Crash]

it's an "alternate reality game" that you play online... .they give you riddles and clues, once you solve them you move on... we're doing it all because the more answers you get right, the more you get to see of XBOX 360's design!!!!!!

[Typhoid]

Hmmm, that sounds really *interesting.
































*Interesting may or may not mean lame.

[Crash]

we should move this to the general forum.... oh well, just join guys so we can get our first riddle/clue

[Ginkasa]

/me shrugs and walks away

/me shrugs and walks away

[Swan]

Yeah, I'm confused as well.

[Crash]

http://ourcolony.net/index.aspx

35 days 21 hours until xbox 360 unveiling I guess

[Ginkasa]

Still not seeing a riddle anywhere...

:unsure:


/me shrugs and walks away

EDIT:


Okay, so I figured maybe I was supposed to use the GT password on that entry page, but whenever I do it had some error... And there's not riddle when I enter with "play" and go to "Your Colony."

So...

LAST " " 0761537082

I think thats the riddle.

[Crash]

countdown's end: 11.may.2005.

[Crash]

Got the number puzzle.

It's and ISBN number from a book about xbox.

They want the last quote. From what site? I tried amazon, both the kid form san jose and the mercury news. Any ideas?


http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0761537082/qid=1112850189/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/002-6782010-2851265?v=glance&s=books

[Ginkasa]

Maybe the product description? Just try quoting everything in there...

And, uh, I still don't know where the riddle is on the website... Or anything...


/me shrugs and walks away

[Crash]

go to that amazon page, mouseover the book, and it allows you to search the whole book, find out what the last quote in that book is...

[Ginkasa]

On the back cover is the same quote from that San Jose guy... Then a thing on the author... Zyman, Sergio, 168... The excerpt only goes up to page six...


/me shrugs and walks away

[Crash]

Typing play in the box on the main page takes you to /lounge
Typing rules in the box takes you to /rules
Typing create in the box lets you create a challenge

[Crash]

here is another clue for later, they were going to make it an advertisement

i got it by spying in someone elses "colony"

http://img7.exs.cx/img7/8418/circbanner0gk.jpg

if someone has an amazon account, can they check what is on page 370 as the last quote?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0761537082/ref=sib_dp_pt/103-2352346-1013403#reader-link

[Crash]

bump.

[MuGen]

The Colony is growing quickly... please be patient.

[Teuthida]

Password no worky for me.

We'll cut out bodies free from the tethers of this scene,
Start a brand new colony
Where everything will change,
We'll give ourselves new names (identities erased)
The sun will hear the grounds
Under our bare feet in this brand new colony
Everything will change, oOo oOo...

http://img144.exs.cx/img144/9201/newxboxhardware3ew.jpg

looks like a trackball in the middle.

[Acebot44]

Sleek, but I'll stick with the S till I feel that thing.

Is this site a joke or for real?

[Ginkasa]

Your memory is lost, your aura is high, your life within an inch, you have one weapon left to finish off the enemy what is it? If you read closely you should know the answer


I've tried: air, aura, breath, eyes, eyes, hands, it, ki, life, life aura, memory, mind, oxygen, senses, sight, the enemy, voice

:hmm:


/me shrugs and walks away

Um, the answer was "finisher." I didn't figure it out... I searched around message boards...


/me shrugs and walks away again

[Crash]

Up for anything as she marches to the beat of 11 drummers. No that's superficial.


Has anything to do with drummers on the 12 days of christmas?

[Crash]

comeon you deadbeats, this is a great place for xbox 360 stuff.... look at this screenshot!!

its of PGR 3 for xbox 360

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v667/genone/OURCOLONY.jpg

[Ginkasa]

I'm not really getting the new challenge... I tried Project Gotham 3, Project Gotham Racing 3, PGR 3, car...

I'm not sure if we're supposed to identify the game or what the picture is of or what...


/me shrugs and walks away

[Solid Snake]

The clue was solved and it gives a link to a new picture: http://www.ourcolony.net/thesecret/1426.jpg

The picture is way to big to insert into the fourm.

[DarrenMcLeod]

Holy. ****.

That's impressive.

Next clue:


if you aim to find the truth, you will uncover tom canty instead of edward

(to err is human, without the colony, you would have been misled by the error)

WTF?

(Also, how do you answer these questions? On the main page?)

[Crash]

i dont think that is the next clue (is it?)

anyways, it's from the prince and the pauper.

[DarrenMcLeod]

New Clue: "It is "The End" when Alpha, Delta and Omega are destroyed."

I got it!

The answer was: missile command.

[Seth]

When do they give out the next riddle?

edit: btw, I'm in

[GameMaster]

Clue:


360: Shorthand for panoramic photographs and virtual reality worlds, since it is the degree measurement of a circle


OMFG! Virtual reality worlds!
