Loads up for me. You are talking about clickin the banner right?

Yeh I click the banner and don't get a search engine. I get the template with (loading search engine) on it.

"these three crisises" Three new forums, maybe figuring out the names of the forums is the key?

Possible sneaky clue?

The other Unlock it threads got a nice message from 12m8keall2c bottom reminds us to use the search function with a link.

Search "Unlock It" and one of the first was a post from Advisor from way back when with a recent reply from a suspiciously new member. www.abovetopsecret.com...

The moral of the post being to look within yourself for the answer.

I've tried all my stats and searched my profile... Red Herring? Any ideas?

Yes it's a definite reference to ATS.

the mystery unfolds above your heads as some will say the smoke will never clear and others see no smoke at all - social rage across the ancient sands spark the great conflict of our time both here and now and future hence - a nation staggers on a divided foundation the result of decades of manipulation and distraction moves again to quadrennial exploitation # these three crises are new for you to examine through debate and exchange - deny ignorance here so that others out there may see your wisdom and come to new understandings

word counts (assuming # is a major divider and - a minor):
22,20,20
13,17

cLearlY, there are no more clues to be found zero reasons exIst to contiNue to lurch internally, surely, just "Googling around" is beTter than "playing" fOr YOUr pure research

*** Notice the capital letters within the message at the end... they spell out : LYING TO YOU

As per the text I googled "around" and found this site...

www.around.org.uk...

Not sure if its anything might be clutching at straws, I think we need another clue there are so many possibility's of what it could be, numbers, birthdays, binary, hex.... etc

We already have forums for Japan, so that can't be it. Libya maybe....

My brain is hurting, I need more caffeine.

reply to post by 1FullHouse


No, the code. For some reason that bit stuck out to me. I'm not sure why, but it seems important.

Ok so so far we are up to:

the mystery unfolds above your heads as some will say the smoke will never clear and others see no smoke at all -

I dont know what this might refer to...

social rage across the ancient sands spark the great conflict of our time both here and now and future hence

Could this refer to the middle east? Libya , Egypt, Tunisia?

- a nation staggers on a divided foundation the result of decades of manipulation and distraction moves aga

Sounds like Japan to me?? Thoughts?

Ok so we look to be at the end of this particular clue:

the mystery unfolds above your heads as some will say the smoke will never clear and others see no smoke at all - social rage across the ancient sands spark the great conflict of our time both here and now and future hence - a nation staggers on a divided foundation the result of decades of manipulation and distraction moves again to quadrennial exploitation # these three crises are new for you to examine through debate and exchange - deny ignorance here so that others out there may see your wisdom and come to new understandings - solve the code - answer the question - unlock the forums # bk4d 7d zgx .k6, gl gzf7z3 jvl ;k3gjfd gnzg 3lj.c 5d fdz. # .zdf d5 c.jl3 gzng dfjg3k

I'm assuming the rest is random data. That gives us two sections delimited by #s, with word lengths of:

22,20,20
13,17,3,3,3

Converting as letters of the alphabet gives you:
VTT MQCCC

That doesn't work in the results box, and I have to go try and do some astrophotography soon so I might abandon the thread for now.

edit: Looking at it we see 'gzng' repeated, so there's little chance it's random.

Ciphertext ahoy, i'll keep dumping.

I bet this is an experiment, to see how much of a revenue spike crazy scavenger hunts like this will provide

Anyways, good luck yall, I am out.

Lol that's for sure. There is maybe somebody who watches all the answers logged onto the page laughing at what he see knowing what's the key.

I don't know where you got this text, but there are three clues here.

above your heads. Chemtrails?

across the ancient sands. Something in the Middle East?

nation staggers on a divided foundation. The division in the US? The fall of the US?

Anyone ever play/heard of/know about CEREBRAL-X?
I used to play it when I was in college...
this reeks of a flash-riddle game.

I think I might be onto something here, but not sure exactly what. Here's what I found:

Make of it what you will, bit I think it has something to do with a game and an ARG code that takes you nowhere?? I don't even know what AGR code is.
