[ARG]: SBARG v2.0 Weird Puzzle Shit

[Gakuno]

Welp, lets rock V2 style, I guess.
We got that message there, which told us to view the source, which was

CθNGR▲TS θN FINDING THIS
YθU WERE EXPECTING ▲ PRIZE WEREN'T YθU?
TRY ▲G▲IN

>RESET
CLθSE

That led to /reset which gave us "IT'S NOT OVER"
The source from that gave us

YθU W▲NTED ▲ PRIZE
IS THIS SUIT▲BLE ENθUGH?

No, coming back to haunt us isn't quite good enough. Good attempt, though.


EDIT: a most excellent host may or may not be affilated, I'm not sure. They're both "continuations." Probably two separate ARGs, running side by side on the same course. Timelines, if you will.

ONE FINAL EDIT I SWEAR: We have a translation for iamofcourse's gibberish

"Is this another ARG?--YESINDUETIME"
"Who or what are you?--DOCFROST"
"Were you acquainted with our compromised guardian?--LOVEDHIM."
"How did you become aware of his existence in the first place?--ILLTLLYOULATER."
"Real message being: "IUNDERSTANDHOWCANWEHELP?--PREPAREYOURSEFTHEENDOFTIME."
"Who is listening?--YOUROLDONE"
"To prepare--WAIT."

Doc Frost. Interesting name. He replies to some questions with 8^y
He's also apparently a white dolphin. Ooookay.
He also gave us some binary, which gave us http://i.imgur.com/Fhla9.gif (WARNING FLASHY DOCSCRATCH GIF)

EDIT AGAIN I'M SO SORRY BUT I DON'T WANT TO DOUBLE POST:
I want my 413 post to be like this. Anyway, we have more Doc Frost shenanigans. The \/\/\/\/\\\// shit and whatnot gave us

the horrorterrors lied becaus, likeall sentient beings, they have heart. they intended to use the combination of your attacks to weaken to the point where he could becaptured and usedt combat lord english.they failed. he broke loose and has captured me. he is not yet powerful enough to take me over, and thus i am able to contact you. my help is necessary, for he is still working to find yoursession’s ultimate reward. to prevent this, you must enter with a corrupted copy in order to avoid double titles.

Yay, we get to reroll our titles.

[Toboe]

ok so theres continuations?

Seems interesting but not sure if want. I'll follow them i suppose just to see what's going on there.

[Sarochan]

Well, if art stuff is going on, I'm all for that.

[Pinkkea]

Wait

It's just over!? Like that!?

ARG! And I didn't even mean to make that pun!

Well then, the hypothetical new adventure sounds nice though. I would want to help, but I'm not sure what I could do. My art is...sub-par, to say the least.

How can it be over?

He just killed a lot of tentacle monsters but

WHAT ABOUT US

no it's NOT OVER I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THIS.

If it's real, great.

If it's fake, oh well. >_>

The countdown was epic last night!
If anyone wants to know roughly what is happening in SBARG v2, I'll be keeping an adventure log that should cover most of the confusion... mostly.

Link please?

To avoid accusations of advertizing, it is in my signature.
Warning: it is done in the style of a fan-adventure and thus includes large amounts of filler and shenanigans.

[Flairina]

Anyone subscribed to this thread, please listen.

We at the iamofcourse ARG need help. Our players have gone missing, and in 119 hours Chronos will arrive and regress our genesis frog back into a tadpole, at which point he will destroy our universe and everything in it.

We desperately need players to alchemize items right now, or we will fall. Read through the first page to understand what is needed currently. Please, help us...

Guys, V2 posted a puzzle the other day and we can't seem to solve it. It's a midi with morse code in it and somehow we need to get a 13 character code out of it somehow. The morse code has been deciphered, but it's so ambiguous that we don't know how to use it.

This guy found the sentences in it for a reference.

If you feel like solving this stupidly hard puzzle, feel free to please take a stab at it.

[Flairina]

I took a try at figuring that out before and had no success. Best of luck with it though...

[androidsGenerator]

Interesting....

IGNORE REPEATS,

THE CLOUDS PART,

THE DARK WRITHES,

A HUE UN-SEPARATED,

YXY

So, the 4th line could suggest a primary color: Red, blue, and yellow being the three hues that cannot be separated.
Ignore repeats: yellow has a double letter, so throw that out?
The clouds part: blue sky?
The dark writhes: no idea
YXY: idk either.

This is making me think of when Rose went grimdark (you know, during Seer: Descend). It can't have anything to do with that, can it?

[shinyjiggly]

Sorry about necro-posting, but we've got another whopper of a puzzle to solve with SBARGv2!

This post has a bunch of currently known info about the current puzzle:
http://sbarghqv2.tumblr.com/post/449...-for-the-codes
It's going to involve a lot of deciphering and we need to figure out the keys for them somehow.


EDIT: We did it!

[Storm980]

(Guuuuys, I want to get involved with Sbarg v2 because i missed the first one, but I literally have no idea how to sign up or anything. Please help!!!!)

[shinyjiggly]

Okay, I think I can help out here.
nearlyNonexistent made a handy-dandy beginner's guide a while back to all of the notable post-sbarg derivatives:
http://kapowcreations.com/?action=sbarginfo
Note that it needs to be updated with more current information (HAFG and iamofcourse have already been completed) and there might be some notable bias in there as well.
Things that should be clarified: The hotel thing is considered mostly non-canon with the ARG as a whole and there ARE more teams out there besides Team Spectrum (Team Creepervan to name one of the prominent ones). Also, NN forgot to mention that checking the #sbargv2 tag on tumblr can be very helpful, as it reduces post redundancy and gives a good idea of how the vocal part of the community is/was doing.

(Considering that these forums are going the way of the dodo and the fact that we're pretty much just using it to ask for puzzle help, should we try to get this thread moved elsewhere? and where exactly would a thread about an ARG even go anyways? and most importantly, since it isn't even the original SBARG, should we even be using this thread at all? So confused here...)

[Flairina]

As an addendum to shinyjiggly's post, I wrote up an Sbarg summary and an iamofcourse summary a while back:

Ima.....just get in here before i get confused at the beginning again.

NN made a thing: http://nearlynon.com/post/4561034653...ist-of-players
Sign it with your chumhandle, land name/code and stuff.
