šŸ“ Ben's Random Bits

I wish I could give these recent comments more than one heart each! I was looking for a deeper theme to connect everything and this would fit the bill. So interesting! I will take a fresh look at everything through that lens, and see if there’s anything I can contribute. Great thinking y’all!

Collapsing wave functions…

Branching realities…

What will, did, is. That was brought up early on, often.

Sorry I’ve been neglecting this thread. Life. I’ve been trying to track the Discord.

I’ve called attention to the eyes picture, and the group finally heard. I’m still not sure what’s what with it though :smiling_face_with_tear:

But Discord group has been throwing me leads to pursue since the start, and they’re starting to pay off even if I got no idea how.

I got an eclectic mix of knowledge and experience, and apparently it’s helpful for puzzles in the game… Just not how I think I am in the moment…

Blah! Y’all should get what I mean. :heart_hands:

Game has been very much intense last few days.

I missed a LOT over the last few days. All I am aware of at this time is that SYSTEM is using the same post for multiple dates and we have to go in and select which is correct and which is incorrect manually.

I’ve only seen the one such ā€˜puzzle’ so far, and it was an australian article linked in the post that included the correct date. Fairly simple/tame by ARG standards.

Sorry I’ve been AFK, I guess I got caught off guard by the start of Phase ?2? and had a hard time getting time when it mattered to get back in.

Here’s hoping y’all are getting involved in my absence!

@BenR

In case you missed it, Archie contacted Tom who runs the NMSzine with the offer to allow us to ask them ten questions (in character within the ARG).

The last chance to submit your question for consideration is today, the thread closes in a few hours

Then the questions will be polled until the 4th of july.

15 most voted questions from both ETARC and DISCORD will be compiled into a list of 30 and then we will vote for those, taking the best 10 to be presented to Archie on ETARC via Tom for the 8th.

Here you go- a quick recap of the past week!

  • The ā€œhallucinationā€ images were tied to memory blocks on various dates and were verified by operators.
  • Architect posted a letter to operators saying good work, System is remembering now and no longer needs Archie. (But Archie’s work ā€œisn’t done.ā€)
  • A cool page showing the flow of time exists now. (Wait a minute to see the clickable dates flow by.) Password: ComputerZeroTime
  • System has gradually been taking over ownership of PS entries, but ran into some trouble with some overlapping data. System set up a poll on PS asking which entries (Aug 9, 2016 actual NMS launch date and June 21, 2016 slipped launch date) to preserve or keep. The operators successfully resolved that.
  • The neural network page glitched for awhile, but now seems stable in a remembering state.
  • And super fun, Selfie-Gek got a message from System saying that it trusts MAIN FAM. :heart_eyes:
  • And also super fun, the Architect is soliciting operator questions, as Todd mentioned above!

@BenR I like your working theory on the different mem bloc that seem to relate to the sleepers in the WARE project.
I cannot remember what info we had on each individual but, I am wondering if perhaps we are dealing with a merged conscience. Perhaps all of their memories are now combined in the System and that is why System does not know who it is.

I was literally just trying to connect the dots on Discord.

I can specifically remember 2 dreamers directly referenced so far,

Toby with wasps

Old Lady with Atomium and Tucson.

Memory not the greatest, but trying to figure out if they’d anyone else directly called out by the original images posted…

Here is the list of those saved and lost

I was always intrigued by this patient…

Another memory trigger used was the making of friendship bracelets. There was a reference to viewing the stars so I pointed at a star chart when taking the pic of mine

Oh crap it was the iteration before our player characters that they used the iteration number/letter from during WT S2!??

I remembered wrong and submitted the wrong number string during the ā€œwho the flip am i?ā€ phase of 29/11/2016’s mem bloc memory cascade :see_no_evil_monkey:

I forgot it was T that they referenced, not G :sad_but_relieved_face:

The convo between @Selfie-Gek and System reminds me of this event from WT. Simple convo with questions to gain trust and move their consciousness out of the cloud.
I am now fairly certain this is what we are doing with System.
It also makes me wonder about the Q&A with Archie…
and now we have hijacked @BenR 's thread…

That all seems to fit! And it’s helpful and interesting to see these relevant bits of WT backstory!

People are emailing system and requesting operator id numbers that are prime numbers.

I’ve attempted contact 5 times so far with no response.

Kinda the point of this thread, to be honest!

Happy to see it used as such :+1::heart_hands:

Seems like they just went on break as more people were getting up to scratch with what they needed to do.

Hopefully they do a few more email repsonses tonight so you guys aren’t left waiting too long to get yours.

Archie usually reappears in the next hour or two before bed so :crossed_fingers:

That’s always lunch (or aperitif) time somewhere in the world. I tried from 2 different adresses but no response. I’ll see tomorow if I can see the sky through a new window :wink:
