If you are still interested in Cloverfield (1-18-08) check out this great post by our very own CameronJr9!

For all of you that have seen this website, and wonder what mysterys it holds. I have cracked its secrets. Anything i find out about the website i will post here.

I wanted to thank CameronJr9 for showing me this. www.8thcivic.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46962

www.ethanhaaswasright.com

www.ethanhaaswasright.com/helpme

The code.



I wrote this guide to help others that are stuck (or are lazy =P)

First Puzzle:
Click the buttons in the following order.



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Second Puzzle:
Using your mouse and the code above, move the rings around (left first, right second then the middle third) to spell out HAAS.
(Hint: If your having a hard time seeing the symbols, you can right click and click Zoom In)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Third Puzzle:
(Note: This is a rewrite of the guide off Wikipedia)
This puzzle works just like chinese checkers, you jump one dot over another into a blank space to make it disappear.



1. 5-1 jumps 6-1 to land on 7-1
2. 4-3 jumps 5-2 to land on 6-1
3. 7-1 jumps 6-1 to land on 5-1
4. 4-1 jumps 4-2 to land on 4-3
5. 2-2 jumps 3-2 to land on 4-2
6. 4-4 jumps 3-3 to land on 2-2
7. 1-1 jumps 2-2 to land on 3-3
8. 5-3 jumps 4-3 to land on 3-2
9. 2-1 jumps 3-2 to land on 4-3
10. 3-1 jumps 4-2 to land on 5-2
11. 5-1 jumps 5-2 to land on 5-3
12. 3-3 jumps 4-3 to land on 5-2
13. 5-3 jumps 5-2 to land on 5-1

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fourth Puzzle:
Number 4 is very easy. You use your arrow keys to move the little dots around. Your goal is to get them all into the little circles.
You are actually told how to do it on the 'HelpMe' file. If you highlight the text you will notice it says the arrow keys.
Up, Left, Down, Down, Left, Right, Up, Right, Up, Left, Left
(Hint: Click each arrow key twice. Once to aim the arrow, twice to move them.)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fifth Puzzle:
The last puzzle isnt very hard, just time consuming. You click the lower 10 boxes, using the code above, to spell out: The beggining is the end
It looks like this.
THEBEGINNI
NGISTHEEND

After that, your all done!

It seems after all of this, it was just to build up hype about a video game. www.alphaomegathegame.com

Messages ive found so far.

www.ethanhaaswasright.com/helpme Doing a Google search brought me to this page. This should help alot. (This link used to be sent in the email bellow)

2) For the second lock, you may need to look to the stars. They will help you find
HAAS who will lead your way.

3) The third lock will require you to extinguish all lights but one. Only with one light
remaining will you be able to proceed.

4) The fourth lock will let you move all 4 pieces through the control of one. However,
unless the three key pieces are simultaneously placed into position, you will not be
granted access.
↑←↓↓←→↑→↑←← (note: these are hidden from sight unless you highlight them)
5) The fifth lock will be the toughest. Seek help again from the stars to reveal your
key and the message that you must decode. The two working together will
open the way.

Good luck.

Im trying to look at these websites from a 'digital' point of view. Ive traced the servers, checked who registered the domains and i just checked the source (coding) for the webpage. If you scroll down, there is something written in the coding that cant be seen on the page.

If you click the blue star on the upper left hand side, it is a email hot link with a pre set subject. So i figured it would send me back some kind of message. So i emailed them a blank email, with the subject. Sure enough, a couple minutes later i got this email. (This is exactly how it appears) I tryed it again, hoping i would get another message. But it sent me the same message again.

It seems The Mezin are connected to every aspect of humanity, from
culture and religion to our most advanced technology

I have to be more careful contacting all of you. When I began I
thought I could safely speak about his writings and perhaps save us all...

but now it seems I will have to find a more subtle way to share
his visions.

If this is the first message you have received from me do not give up
hope! There are others that have gone before you, the way has been
found, you only need to search and you will find the answers you seek. We
are getting stronger, our voices will be heard!

I have more of Haas’s writings, once I find a secure way to transmit
them I will leave you clues to find them.

The more I read the more I realize Haas was right………
Planing on decoding. http://ethanhaaswaswrong.blogspot.com

What Van Mantra says on the videos:

Quote:

My name is Van. I have the writings of Ethan Haas here. I thought it was just some old story but then it began to sound like he'd actually seen the future. Everything up to now has happened exactly as he said it would. And then there’s his predictions of the future. So many people have died. You were able to find this message; you’re one of us, so you must know what needs to be done. But to be sure, I have to test you. You need to find others and help us try and stop it. You must send them here to prove that they’re one of us. I’ve already started, but we’re not strong enough yet. We only have until August 1st to recruit and prepare. Now, trust Haas for the answer.


Second Video
The signs have already started to show themselves. They have been for years. But when money's more important than saving lives to the ones who had the power to stop it, why would they want to hear the truth? Our ways have brought this upon ourselves, and this is just the beginning. This world is going to change one way or another. It's inevitable and you know this. But there's help out there for us; now I'll make a single point to find it. Tell them to [____] before it's too late.


Third Video
We are blinded by our own selfish interests. Our wars are taking the lives of those we will need for the bigger battle ahead. Intolerance, oppression, poverty, and poor education are killing those that can help defend the world. The media is failing us in exchange for ratings. Of course, no one can see what we see. The destruction will be unlike anything the world has ever seen. The more of us that survive, the better our chances. But now, the group must carefully position in unison to unlock the way to a new faith. You must get others here or this will all be for nothing. We'll see you.


Video 4
The stars began to rain down. The few survivors will cling to safety in the cities. But they won't know what you and I know. Only then will it really be the beginning of the end. when they finally show themselves, and shock what's left of the old world, where we stand in the new hierarchy will be up to us and what we do today. This will be the final and the most challenging of all things that have come. We won't have time for anymore games after this, only the truth. Now, the more that we are in the same place at the same time, the more we will all see. We must organize before it's too late.

Between 'only the truth' and 'now, the more we are in the same place', the screen flashes with an image of the numbers '54312'.


Fifth Video
Haas’s visions end here. What happens next is completely up to you. You’ve unlocked the key code that will bring you reward for your dedication of your cause, but it will first start to be of value on August 1st, and you will only have 30 days to use it. Take note of this code, it will help you get your preparations underway for the new world of which you are now a part of whether you like it or not. But what role you play, and how you live or die is completely up to you. It begins August 1st. We will meet back here on that day.

Other information ive found so far.

About the Characters:

Quote:
Originally Posted by www.Wikipedia.com

A man who once foretold the coming destruction of the world; he had visions and was thought of as a prophet who recorded what he saw. He is now presumed as having been dead for a long time. No current significance has been attached to his name.


Van Mantra
Mantra, the only character so far that players have been able to actually see, is a student of Haas's teachings; he apparently found the writings of Haas, and began to believe them as he saw predictions come true.

In the videos, Mantra appears in a dark setting, so it is difficult to make out much of his appearance or surroundings. Adding to the mystery surrounding him, Mantra's name may be a pseudonym.

Mantra is the one who established the EHWR website, creating it as a test for those seeking to learn of Haas' prophecies, and leaving video recordings for those who completed the puzzles. In organizing the website, however, Mantra appears to be organizing a resistance/survivors group, after most of the known world meets its end.

He has also sent out emails to those who used an address found on the website asking for help; after a certain amount of time, personalized help-mails stopped, and only an automatic response was sent, with a generic list of clues. Personalized emails continued intermittently, for instance in response to an inquiry about a purported Ethan Haas profile on MySpace, which Mantra dismissed.


The Mezin
The Mezin is an unknown group, at least this is what the evidence seems to suggest. They may not be human. They are, however, staunchly opposed to the teachings of Haas, and to the activities of Mantra— to the point that they hacked the outgoing message on Van Mantra's voicemail, prompting Mantra to go even deeper underground than before. It has recently been alluded that the Mezin may have captured Mantra.

Are you sure you spelled it right? Zoom in (right click) and be sure the symbols are right.

Just a small update:

I have found SO many links to other websites related to this. Im not sure how many are real. But they seem to post blogs on public blogging websites that relate to this. Somebody worked very hard to do this.

People are claiming it's Godzilla, but I highly doubt it. It's something we haven't seen before.

Keep up the good work sk33ny!

Great job so far Sk33ny Stuff like this fascinates me but I don't have the patience to go hunting for it. Definitely subscribed +1

Does anyone else possibly see this being a great hype job and a disappointing movie?

I do. But then again, it might just be a great movie. I think with J.J. behind it, it's worth seeing once. The concept is brilliant. We'll see if it works.

JJ does good work. He does Lost and Alias on TV. He also did Mission Impossible 3. Hes going to be releasing a Star Trek movie and a The Birds remake.

I just updated the first page with the third and fourth puzzle!
