Ecoin Launch Event
On (date?), an invitation email was sent out to players subscribed to the mailing list. The invitation describes an Ecoin launch party, to be held on October 5. However, the email also contained a hidden message. The letters above each large bubble of champagne spelled out the message:
BITLYSEWGI
By navigating to bit.ly/sewgi, players were redirected to the RSVP page for the Ecoin launch party. At the bottom of this page, the following image was found:
The image above spells out SILENT SIN in Moon alphabet. After responding to the RSVP page with SILENT SIN, the RSVP page's appearance completely changed, and displayed the following message:
Congratulations, your eyes have been opened and we now call on you to join our resistance. On October 5th, while Evil Corp is blinded by its own opulence, we will seize control of this Ecoin bacchanal and embarrass them on a global stage. These bourgeois oppressors have fashioned themselves a golden throne and placed the legs squarely on our backs. Together, we will rise up and burn that throne to the ground. Stand with us as we fight for a new tomorrow. If, and only if, you will be attending the Ecoin Launch Party in person, leave us your email below and you will be contacted by one of our operatives with your directive soon. You must enter the same email used to RSVP to the Ecoin Launch Party. Do not share this page or this message.
Players who entered their email addresses received the following email:
the war wages on. the sins of evil corp must be exposed. fsociety needs you at the Ecoin Launch Event. terminal 5 (605 West 55th Street between 11th and 12th) 6:15pm ask for benny the bus driver outside the service entrance. come alone. wear black pants and a white-long sleeve dress shirt. the revolution won't go down without a fight. we are fsociety.
October 4, 2017
On the day prior to the Ecoin launch event, the Red Wheelbarrow and Confictura websites (both of which were used earlier in the ARG) were updated.
Red Wheelbarrow
The Red Wheelbarrow site was updated with an entirely new site layout, along with a kids section. The "color by numbers" printout in the new "kids" section of the site contained several hidden messages.
First, the path traced by the butterfly is actually Morse code:
- .... . -.-- -.. --- -. - -.- -. --- .-- .-- . .- .-. . .... . .-. . -.-- . - THEY DONT KNOW WE ARE HERE YET
Second, the numbers in the sun, when converted to letters using a simple substitution cipher, reveal the following message:
19 8 5 19 14 15 20 8 15 14 5 19 20 SHES NOT HONEST
Confictura
The Confictura site was also updated (with what?). The visitor counter at the bottom can be adjusted manually by clicking on it. Setting the visitor counter to 0736565 (how did we get this???) causes the visitor counter to be replaced with a text box. Entering blackanddeepdesires (how did we get this???) causes the Confictura page to completely change, revealing a message:
If you drink much from a bottle marked “poison” it is almost certain to disagree with you sooner or later.
