Web Game: Deception

[Alex Pelan]

Here's my progress so far:

Got to fsck, couldn't figure out what to do.

Got to oracle, found that nothing could be found due to a corrupted hard drive. Any ideas?

[Mike]

Yeah fsck started up again, I don't think thats how you fix it...

[Alex Pelan]

Hmm....civmsg seems to be something that we have all ignored, but I'm not quite sure what to do with it. I have found a list of handles to log in, but no passwords...I have already tried a bunch of Greg's inside jokes, but none of them seem to work. Any hints elsewhere where we could grab this password?

[Josh Hambright]

There are several things i have found inside the oracle. You can type clue and you get a message about mp3's. you can type lemonade as the help file suggests and you get a story about lemonade. then there is the paint picture which also relates to the game clue. and did anyone else notice the numa numa program. freaking hillarious, but i dont see why its there other then its funny.

the hard drive is still corrupt after fsck. and yah i dunno about that.
civmsg has some stuff available, there are some commands you can type that do not return the invalid string or whatever message but i dont know how to use them yet, nor have i figured out a password.

I haven't had time to play with this since last night, but yah, thats some of my notes so far.

[Greg Marra]

Are you guys having fun yet?

[Alex Pelan]

Yeah...I found the paint picture and numa numa, as well as lemonade, but I didn't find "clue" yet. I view the paint picture and numa numa as just easter eggs, as Mr. White is our chemistry teacher, but I'll have to look further to get anything conclusive. And yes Greg, we are having fun (but not as much fun as you are having in Hawaii )

[Joe_P.]

has anyone found the passwords for civmsg?

[Alex Pelan]

Interesting...I found the implication of the clue...spoiler:

It means: application installed: mp3 version 5. The command "mp3" runs an mp3 player.

Implications of this? What do all of these things mean?

ANOTHER BREAKTHROUGH (W/ SPOILERS)

By searching the name of every one of his buddies in the address book of civmsg, I was able to find a password for a log (itisraininginalberta). To get to this, just type /logs itisraininginalberta in the civmsg screen. The actual conversation doesn't seem to have any immediate meaning, but now we know the user's handle.

spoiler:

We got to his email, from using the /logs itisraininginalberta
(from the log w/ kathryn)
it's called fastmail
"C:\ fastmail"
interesting stuff in his inbox, all the rest are corrupted
password needed to send email - is not "itisraininginalberta"
does anyone know what the "\r" is after "itisraininginalberta" in the query for allykat218?

any help appreciated!

Ka-spoiler warnings~
I'm guessing that the password to the email will be one of the last things that you recieve. However, a quick search of canada in the oracle yielded some tourist information. Dont know what its use is just yet, but I'll find out >.>

*edit*
Dumped some of the city phrases into log passwords and I got some results, including a program called gallery. nifteh.

Great puzzle, fun fun ^^

<spoiler>
I believe the city references are these:
/logs quebecisquitenicethistimeofyear
and
/logs torontoisapopularattraction

Although there may be more.
References to Fiji in the emails and the IM logs, as well as references to the trueman show, not sure of the significance.

RbtGal1351 -
*major spoilors?!*
quebecisquitenicethistimeofyear and torontoisapopularattraction, both fround from the Canada File mentioned in my last post.

Cant seem to find a way to get past gallery, but I'll work on it some more tonight, maybe I'll think of something...

btw, oracle-ing the truman show gives you the quebecisquitenice password
