Nice work. Now we just need to actually find key 16 so we can decode what Knobs is saying.

I've gotten a pretty interesting reply.

The website is called "tap Joint" so i thought if i actually typed in "joint' that it may do something... It replied to me:

"I am anxious something big is coming" to which i replied "What is coming" and it then said "A revolutionary"...

I keep screwing up my tyoing but ill keep it up.... see what i can get.

I just figured out the significance of the pomegranates. I asked "What can I trade?" and the response was "Pomegranates are valuable."

Q: Where are the pomegranates
R: They will be there when you need them

Tasty!

We can decode key 16 ourselves:

j gjg vqx pnxpb xbnx

I did not catch that

Here is what I've decoded so far:




And R = E

Okay. I'm going to try to keep a running tab on what we have decoded for key 16 and then once we have all figured out we can use that as key 16. This is what we have so far.

UPDATED:
A = N
B = M
C = P
D = G
E = R
H = B
I = J
K = W
L = F
M = E
N = V
O = Q
R = I
T = X
V = D

Out of the one's you're missing all I have is that W = S. Although we may have enough letters to at least start asking some questions now.

I found something really interesting.

Type in: "What Is Coming"

The message sends and there is a short pause. The man then proceeds to grab a piece of paper on his right... which has some sort or diagram on it.

Try it out for yourselves.

So far I haven't gotten any kind of real response using this key. I don't know if we can't use key 16 yet or if I'm simply not asking the right questions.

Here is the diagram:


Q: What is coming

Q: What is illumination
R: (grabs piece of paper with article below - author is Walter LaFong)



Q: Who is Walter LaFong
R: (grabs document below)

So far the only progress I have made is that F = T. Might as well keep updating the key in case we find out we can do something with it.

My last update for now. We were kind of doing it opposite ways, but I found your f = t, or t = f



I just can't figure out if you are supposed to talk in code when you ask it something.

I just noticed something interesting. Even though we're seeing different letters the numbers used for them are the same as if they were the original letter. For example when we're on key 16 and see J its number is 1/5. That's the same number as I when using key 14. Theoretically then we should be able to type normally and then just have to decode the response. Although I have not had much luck getting a real response.

EDIT: If I type normally the only response I get is "Command not valid." I'm going to try putting the numbers in manually and see if that makes a difference.

EDIT 2: Scrap that. As soon as you start doing it the manual way you automatically get put back into key 14.

The thread has been moved from the "ATS Sponsored Games and Events" forum to the "Interesting Websites" forum, which would indicate to me that this is not an ATS game and therefore could possibly be a viral marketing site as suggested earlier.

In any case, it is still interesting.

After asking "What year is it?" a hand slid an envelope to me that had "Those who do not learn from the past are condemned to repeat it" written on it. Then the tapper opens the envelope to find 3 picture slides that appear to be for a projector. One is of a car in front of a house. The second I cannot tell. And the third is an aerial view of a freeway system.

got something new. ask: What year is?
There are some photoslides

-We came with the same question at the same time

Q: Was Dick Jacobs murdered
R: (article below)



Q: Who is Eva Jacobs
R: (info card below)



Q: What happened to Dick Jacobs
R: (man brings a can with a roll of wire that says "For Eva", when opened it says "Monday 4:03 PM" and "Dick Jacobs and Mrs. Emerson")



Q; Who is Mrs Emerson
R: (info card below)



Q: Who killed Dick Jacobs
R: (envelope to "Cleveland Carr" - see below)

I'm guessing that the advertising worked on ATS.

Nice play...
