I suspect his true nature was brought to light.

I doubt very much we’ll be seeing an update from him again.

@kingkill33 – If you’ve found the possible paths, you’re as far as I am right now. Well done, sir.

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

The video he’s referring to is the recent one posted on Facebook with the caption beginning with “expose an irrational belief”.

There were hints in that video that were looking for and while we had them a while ago, we weren’t able to use them until just today.

Look to accessing the 2nd newsletter for what to do with what you extract from the video

@mkarrett – I think you’re right, but the Guernsey article was also included in the original site build and it became important later. Also, many pages, including the /blog and /calendar were also included in the site build but were deleted later, bringing up the question: Why wasn’t this?

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

@kingkill33 – I ask because the video with the numbers leads someplace. This place is not inherently related to the newsletter itself, nor the steps that led you to the newsletter. However, the “solution” to the numbers video and the second newsletter share certain attributes

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

@kingkill33 – Massive coding experience is not really required for this. However, using information extracted out of the video, you just need to utilize it in the same and similar ways that we’ve used other answers to other puzzles.

Have you seen the second newsletter?

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

@kingkill33 – Revisit recent videos posted to Facebook. We were looking for clues in one in particular recently. The clues didn’t mean anything when we were analyzing it, because the resource that it was referencing wasn’t made available yet. But it is available now. The video is the one with the caption: “expose an irrational belief, keep a man rational for a day.
expose irrational thinking, and keep man rational for a lifetime.”

Another hint was given in these forums for something that I erroneously thought was “out of bounds”. Or rather, was “out of bounds” until Light2Dark brought it “in bounds”

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

@addisonborn So far it’s seemed to me to be more of Light2Dark’s debut as an “official” member of the OOA than anything. But I saw the same comment you did that made me question it. Are you referring to the “Level” comment?

As for the dark text, the only meaning I gleamed out of it was that it’s a sort of “signature” that Light2Dark has used before.

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

@kasch – Are you comfortable posting it here?

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

There is. Something just was made available today. We had hints from a previous video that was posted, but the “destination” was accessible until today.

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

@monkeymuffin333 – Or, you know, like.. a big Skype or Google Hangout session or something *cough cough I’ll drive up from San Diego for an OOA event no problem but not for bread and meat and totally don’t want to be left out of this cough cough*

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

@endlesspictures – Agreed. Looks like PMs are working now, and I’ve just sent you one on this topic

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

@nojirihorror – Well done! I’d ask that you join us here

However, I get the general consensus is that people don’t want to be spoiled for puzzle solutions, just give help to them. May I recommend that you edit your post to be less… direct?

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

I think you’re absolutely right, the way it was worded suggests something more involved with training, which I don’t believe the consultation was.

But like you said, I’m certainly interested in taking another look. Besides, whether we find information on the map or we just find more clues as to what that white house was from earlier, more information is not a bad thing

[Sean (@TheGilded)Moderator]

Tread softly when reaching out, friends… A reverse IP lookup and some tracert work shows that the site is hosted on amazon servers, not ones that the OOA would have direct control over to this degree.

Might be worth looking into but I would be very wary of actually contacting the people found here, as they’re VERY likely not involved
