Want to play a game? I'm inviting you to join my team on Colony. Go to http://www.ourcolony.net and enter 'play' into the empty field. When you're in the lounge, go to 'Join Existing Colony' and enter 54689459. See you in the game.


It's some kind of thing made by Microsoft (we think), rumor has it the winning team gets xbox 2s.

maybe the image was encrypted with words. You just need a program that can decrypt it. The last question was friggin hard as well. maybe if soo many people join then we will win by # (10 pionts a team member). ;)

from totalvideogames.com:

The announcement ties in with the appearance of the Our Colony website, which can now be confirmed as a promotional campaign leading up to the MTV special on May 12th; those that still wish to get involved can join the TVG Colony by entering "Play" in the first text box, "Join Existing Colony" and entering password 21000847.

i can't see a real trend in shape and size of the white blocks. seems funny that they appear about 2/5ths into the image and dissapeare about 4/5's. it's like someone was trying to put some kind of code in it, but failed. the blocks are not solid white. (imperfections due to compression) so it won't have anything to do with coding based on color.

the only other thing i could think of is an overlay. you take 2 sheets of paper, one like a book lots of text, anotehr with holes in it that lays over the other sheet to highlight certain letters and give you a sentance, but i don't see any other sheets. and some of the blocks are so small you'de only have i's and l's for a good portion of text.

can't see too much else with it.

just put down what you do know...

hrm the white things arent behind the fans (but more on the center of the two)... nor on the corners of the image... they are all above the capacitors...??

does that mean anything to anyone?

what i'm trying to get at is that the white blocks were drawn on afterwards (obviously) and may or may not be a "secret" message, i don't think the image has anything to do with the game, just an image of whats inside. I think it's about figureing out if theres any kind of order or meaning to the white blocks. size, shape orientation. still trying to persue the overlay thing.

im almost positive thats the inside of a power supply man.

maybe the answer is to the statement on the page.... 'like truth, but harder to find'

the little blocks are transparent, if you put something under them they show up that color.

Nismo

we need 3 people to get another challenge, every 5 new people = 1 new challenge (and 10 points)

Our ranking right now is 362th (w/ 280 points)

and who figured that one out?

got some friends of mine from another colony to help me out with the first part. If you extend the tops and bottoms of all of the white bars down/up it makes a nice barcode, when scanned it (or compare it to a coupel of the major bar code styles, which was specificly code39) comes out with a telephone number, call the number and an answering machine picks up *Ding ding ding* "Reset Reality message 512.. message box full blah blah blah", Reset Reality was the actual answer.

new challenge is up. hard to really get into it. main things i can pick out are the scrambled letter puzzle thing, and the little fortune cookie note that says www.kristenrutherford.com on it. these we're added in after the photo was taken. Aparently this chick: Kristen Rutherford, did a lot of voiceover work for some videogames for xbox, namely Halo 2. all relevent, but i have no idea how this is linked to the code.
