In the interests of playing along since I'm not smart enough (if I'm ever kidnapped and trapped in some mad scientist's huge puzzle game I'm totally dead), I got an offline IM a bit ago:

I was gonna ignore it until I paid attention and got the binary part (Save her, please help, etc) and the location of the sim so for kicks I teleported in. I've no idea what the first line means or what it is.

Shortly after getting there I saw a notice saying to click the robot and got this along with an object (look by the flowers!):

Again, no clue what the text was, but the binary was another set of sim coordinates so I teleported over there and got stuck after finding two hints (along with a corporeal visit from Mr Aeon itself). I've a feeling I'd be aight if I knew what the other two pieces mean but I don't and, as I said, I'm not smart, so I figured someone else would be able to figure this out. :P

It's a bit impossible to not tell that our own Logan Bauer came up with it but it looks really cool and well thought out. My own lack of smartness precludes me from creating something like this myself, so kudos to him for designing it.

So now other people go play with it and figure out what to do and update me so I can live vicariously through your intelligence. :P

This is rot13. It says:

Greets, I can not say much but anyone who enters this parcel in 2009 is in gravest danger. You must find the Prime Mother, Jungian. I can't say where she is now, but it's outside of the grid and you need to bring her back to the grid. She knows not who she is yet, but in your time it is not too late yet to stop her.

I am Epoch, and I am watching.

Also, why does nobody ever IM me with these things?

Free Xue · 06-24-2009, 01:54 PM

Don't know about the first string from Epoch, but the "DEBUG STRING" at 11:27 is in ROT13:

Miriel Enfield · 06-24-2009, 01:59 PM

Out of curiosity, how did you translate the binary?

Free Xue · 06-24-2009, 02:01 PM

I would imagine Joshua used an online translator, like Binary to Text (ASCII) Conversion. Unless he can read it straight!

Boko · 06-24-2009, 08:07 PM

Figured since my name's now stuck on the progrss notecards, I'd join the forum discussion.

Epoch has his own language, but the ring in the flowers provides a way to understand it. The script in the ring is fully modifyable, and can be used to create a decoder/encoder for this language.

I will provide a few messages to help you if you still cannot figure out the decoding.

On the outside of the skybox on the floor, there is a message: "send her squealers belt"

On the ceiling there WAS another: "prime singularity cannot be stopped you must stop the prime mother who creates it" -This one has been removed. Why? I cannot tell.

An additional message has appeared today in the sandbox. I leave this one to you.

If you can get the Simone to tell you a message, along with 2 landmarks it gives you a hint in the language to open the color safe.

Inside the safe I got iseekeeChane, an unscripted linking of various sized prims. Upon examining it, however, I found it to contain a key for a texture. The texture is of a dreamcatcher, with another key written in the water below it. I have no idea what to do with that key, nor with the one in Epoch's profile.

I am currently stuck with these 2 keys, which are not textures or sounds. I will post again when I learn more about them.

Boko · 06-25-2009, 12:56 AM

Alright, I worked for a few hours at the stupid little slider puzzle, but after completing it 61 times it FINALLY gave a message. Go to the skybox in Swain if you want to see for yourselves.

**Joshua Nightshade** · 06-25-2009, 02:29 AM

Oh ho ho, the ring!

I figured out that something was up with the Simone Says game, I went through most of it and then it spit out that sequence of like sixty things and that's about when I was writing a note to Logan to go fuck himself.

Troy Vogel · 06-25-2009, 12:02 PM

You are hooked into a Puzzle Chase... they're taking the grid by storm.....

Miriel Enfield · 06-25-2009, 12:27 PM

I have received things! :hyper:

Last night, Epoch gave me an object called SLB6 Puzzle Piece #123 (which I've attached a snapshot of), a sound called "stop her," and an IM saying:

Quote:

}0803$? @9903{04shr%:)0803sha'e06@!! :){{=sha'e@^_^? @99sha'e=}}? .

The sound says, in a computer voice:

Quote:

Stop her. Do NOT save. Kill her if you must.

This morning, before I logged in to collect these things, he IMed me with:

Which translates to:

Quote:

you are indeed not around as much as you should be. You prefer IM's over the place where Boko is stuck.�

I think this is a reference to my profile, which reads in part, "IMs preferred over notecards. Not around as much as I should be. Shy."

Troy Vogel · 06-25-2009, 01:09 PM

I have no patience for crap like this. When someone IMs me with this crap, I go "we live in the US of A, we speak English here.... you're being unpatriotic and not supporting our president and our troops with this kind of language so you must be a terrorist with nucular weapons... I reportz u k thx bai."

:-P

Boko · 06-25-2009, 10:17 PM

I have received a notecard saying "this is the only hint I can give boko right now" It said you prefer IMs over notecards, I suspect they key he KNOWS I have belongs to a notecard then. I just need to figure out how to create the notecard using the key. Also, try the windchime. It contains a message in binary on a notecard.

Boko · 06-26-2009, 03:45 PM

I figure it has been long enough by now. So, for those of you who have not yet made a decoder ring, I will release my code. Add the green text to the existing moodring script.

Quote:

float AEON;
float eightyfive;

list days = ["Mondai",
"2sday",

"3sday","Fire's Day", "Saturn's Day", "Domingo"];
list suprastructaur =[" ","a","b","c","d","e", "f","g","h","i","j", "k","l","m","n","o", "p","q","r","s","t", "u","v","w","x","y","z"];
list substructaur =["@","

"04","12","03","~","+","%","$","{","=","}",
"09","08","99","sha'e","shr","shin","ein","sa'at", "06",":"];

integer antikythera = TRUE;
integer flipstitch = 0;
float OneNineteen;

moodetection()
{
AEON = 133;

// .--. .--. .--. .--. .--. //
// / _`. / _`. / _`. / _`. / _`. //
// (_) ( ) (_) ( ) (_) ( ) (_) ( ) (_) ( ) //
// '. / '. / '. / '. / '. / //

mysticforces =

<llFrand(1),llFrand(1),llFrand(1)>; llSetColor(mysticforces,ALL_SIDES);

}

string strReplace(string str, string search, string replace)
{
return llDumpList2String(llParseStringKeepNulls((str = "") + str, [search], []), replace);
}

default
{
state_entry()
{
AEON = 120;
llSetTimerEvent(1);
OneNineteen = 120 - 1;
llListen(0,"",llGetOwner(),"");
llListen(1,"",llGetOwner(),"");
}
timer()
{
AEON = llFrand(999)+30;
llSetTimerEvent(AEON);
OneNineteen = OneNineteen;
OneNineteen = AEON;
moodetection();
}

listen(integer channel, string name, key id, string message)
{
if(llGetSubString(message,0,5) == "decode")
{
string code = llGetSubString(message,7,llStringLength(message)-1);
string decoding = code;
integer i;
for(i=0;i<27;i++)
decoding = strReplace(decoding,llList2String(substructaur,i), llList2String(suprastructaur,i));
llOwnerSay(decoding);
}

else if(llGetSubString(message,0,5) == "encode")
{
string code = llGetSubString(message,7,llStringLength(message)-1);
string encoding = code;
integer i;
for(i=0;i<27;i++)
encoding = strReplace(encoding,llList2String(suprastructaur,i ),llList2String(substructaur,i));
llOwnerSay(encoding);
}
}

}

Please forgive the lack of tabbing, it is just the way this forum posts. With or without propper spacing, the script should still work.

To use, simply say decode <message> on channel 0 or 1 (start the message with /1) I also included a method for encoding english in order to communicate with Epoch. Same as decoding, only you say encode <message> instead of decode.

I recently received a notecard from Eposh, which when translated contained the following message:

Quote:

i could feel the weight of her dreams and pulled the belt out thank you boko please share everything #include the linguistic script and what you have learned with others it is dangerouse to go a lone and you may not be the one to go to find her she will be difficult to convince and the belt is one piece there to gain her trust
the conduit to your wonderful past is too thin now it needs to be anchored so i can continue to hear ripples through the multiverse

I have already shared the decoder ring script with you all, so now I will share what I have learned so far. We need to stop the prime singularity by stopping its creator, the Prime Mother, Jungian Overdrive. Jungian has left the SL grid and needs to be brought back. Currently she is on the WoW server, "The Scryers" under the username Jungian. There are things we muct do to gain her trust and bring her back. The first is to give her a "Squealer's Belt" (leather waist gear dropped by Squealer Thornmantle). I am not sure what else needs to be done, but I am sure we will find out over time.

Boko · 06-26-2009, 07:00 PM

I am combining this with my photograph (as directed by the windchime). The TV in the skybox is now streaming random mystery movies. Currently playing behind me is "A Shirek in the Night" (1933)

Additionally, the safe now contains a 2nd item, but I cannot yet figure out the combination.

Sorry, I lost many of my notes on the matter. It is also important to know that Jungian is not yet aware of who she really is. I am not sure if it would be wise to let her know just yet. Also, paying attention to the notes on the sandbox rules board, it APPEARS to be Epoch's writing, but there are no spaces except for the final line which I am told is D'ni writing from the Myst series. Please take time to read these messages, keeping in mind that as SL6B disables scripts, you must copy them down and translate outside the sim.

Epoch has his own language, but the ring in the flowers provides a way to understand it. The script in the ring is fully modifyable, and can be used to create a decoder/encoder for this language. I will provide a few messages to help you if you still cannot figure out the decoding. On the outside of the skybox on the floor, there is a message: "send her squealers belt" On the ceiling there WAS another: "prime singularity cannot be stopped you must stop the prime mother who creates it" -This one has been removed. Why? I cannot tell. An additional message has appeared today in the sandbox. I leave this one to you. If you can get the Simone to tell you a message, along with 2 landmarks it gives you a hint in the language to open the color safe. Inside the safe I got iseekeeChane, an unscripted linking of various sized prims. Upon examining it, however, I found it to contain a key for a texture. The texture is of a dreamcatcher, with another key written in the water below it. I have no idea what to do with that key, nor with the one in Epoch's profile. I am currently stuck with these 2 keys, which are not textures or sounds. I will post again when I learn more about them.

I figured out that something was up with the Simone Says game, I went through most of it and then it spit out that sequence of like sixty things and that's about when I was writing a note to Logan to go fuck himself.

When someone IMs me with this crap, I go "we live in the US of A, we speak English here.... you're being unpatriotic and not supporting our president and our troops with this kind of language so you must be a terrorist with nucular weapons... I reportz u k thx bai." :-P

I just need to figure out how to create the notecard using the key. Also, try the windchime. It contains a message in binary on a notecard.
