[ARG] The Pizza Code Mystery

Just found at the beginning of the third map of OAR:

https://www.quadibloc.com/crypto/pp1324.htm

Currently being discussed as being possibly used for the huge code block.

Pan just had a breakthrough, one way or anotherā€¦ getting closer here guys!

Come join us on IRC yall:

ā€œBMS-ARGā€

Has anyone tried to bring a pizza (likely the one from QE would be the best bet) to the scientists and guard in LC? Or would it not be carried through the teleports?

Seems like jenn0 could be relevant, this is jenn0desk.vtf, mentioned earlier

Someoneā€™s in the IRC claiming to be raminator. Can anyone verify? Itā€™s getting crazy.

And now heā€™s gone.

Twas a fake, an internet troll sitting next to me in my schools computer lab.

Spectacular.

Edit: This just gets more riveting by the minute.

Decompiling the map showed no pizza-specific triggers, from what I remember.

This thread it glitching out on me. I just went from page 25 and unable to access the rest of the thread to all of this! Man has progress been made!

EDIT: Strange, what I saw as page 25 was actually page 23. I hope the siteā€™s glitches donā€™t interfere with thisā€¦

Yeah! Weā€™ve been making a ton of progress! Certainly! :retard:

This box? ā€œIā€™m upside down, please, turn me on.ā€ Nothing strange, but, there is a number, ā€œ190ā€. If we rotate the box it reads ā€œ061ā€ I donā€™t know. Maybe its nothing.

Jenn0 seems to be linked to this.
The vmt files for the ā€œthe pizza is a lieā€ decal and for the pigpen code contain ā€œ%keywordsā€ ā€œBMS, Jenn0ā€
Unfortunately lots of other vmt files are tagged by Jenn0 too, so itā€™s not really conclusive.

  • Liked Black Mesa videos.
  • Added 4 Angelspit videos to a playlist. (One of which is the song shown on one of the machines in-game.)

So either Jenn0 is very much directly related, and this ARG has been in the works for over 5 yearsā€¦ or in more likely circumstances, Jenn0 is the username of one of the developers and the files are tagged with that because that person worked on them.

:freeman:

Pretty much that.
Though surely them being the developer who worked on the pigpen and ā€œthe pizza is a lieā€ decals would imply that they are involved.

So we know heā€™s the one who likes Angelspit. lol

Has anybody checked Xen, I mean the Xen enviroment in anomalous materials, you know, when the cascade happens you get teleported to Xen so there must be a Xen enviroment there, I wonder if it is reachable through no clipping.

It is indeed reachable through noclipping. Noclipping through the empty non-playable ā€œvoidā€ in Black Mesa is dangerous thoughā€¦ itā€™s easy to get a crash by doing it.

I searched it before and found nothing.
