Try again. That is the one. There is another bit, and you get...

 

Spoiler

a transmission log between "OnlineHost" and "SurveillanceOp"

 

However it seems that is as far as it goes, for now.

The log confirms @Dagger's suspicion that "Project Fragment" is something sinister.

The dates might refer to something? I don't know. It is past my bedtime.

If I remember correctly, the link from the Rheno faction page had some obvious error that you have to correct .

[fitnessgurl]

It's a KONAMI code.

Where it says enter the code using your keyboard.

it's ⬆⬆⬇⬇⬅➡⬅➡ab

That should work. And before you ask...I didn't figure it out.

[fitnessgurl]

[fitnessgurl]

The above is the translation of the KONAMI code.

[Darth Yoga]

Conspiracy thing is definitely for real. I got the new email from Steve, and my router just died when I try to click the links...

 

Okay, well, my router normally dies and needs a reboot like three times a day, so.... maybe a coincidence.

[Darth Yoga]

Okay... router rebooted...  

 

But the clue in the new "error code" just goes back to the same transmission log as we've already found. Because we're that good.

 

Also, there is an official facebook thread. But I try to avoid facebook. I can't resist reading political things that get me all worked up.

[killerog]

Yeah, I don't use facebook either. I've seen that there have been more clues found, nice!

 

The numbers 45 33 78 could refer to a turntable, or the whole thing could be an IP-address.

 

Spoiler

..and on that ip-address 45.33.78.208 both the yoga.nerdfittness.com and handstands.nerdfitness.com sites are hosted.

The IP address takes you to projectfragment.com. Additionally, the letters in the error message spell out something if you look at the capitol letters. Additionally, the numbers may be coordinates to somewhere in Canada. 

I don't think the enter the code thing was supposed to be on Rheno. It might've been accidental a day early while they tested it. 

[Mizbrek]

New email from Steve out about what it's all about! Sounds very cool!

[Doaheem]

It hinted at a 'monthly subscription' which kinda puts me off (Big reason I never got into MMOs) but damn it I'm too enticed by this mystery and the factions!

[trickstur]

Agreed Lighthouse, on both accounts. It's really going to depend on how much it is a month and exactly what it entails. I'm in every other part of the Rebellion so... who am I kidding I'll probably join this one too. Hah. 

[Starstuff]

I'm cautiously excited. Excited because the format and premise sound really awesome. Cautious because monthly fees can really add up and because some of the things listed are things I'm really not interested in. Like travel, which I actively dislike. I'm really looking forward to hearing more details, though.

[Doaheem]

Pretty much that, Trick lol I'm not in Yoga but I'm everywhere else... just too enticing. Not going to lie the 'sorting hat' approach to putting people into their factions sounds very interesting. I'm stoked about finding out which banner I'll be flying.

[Teancum]

It does seem really interesting, and I've liked this intro part quite a bit. It strikes me as basically an extended mini challenge though - which (thanks to geniuses like Hazard and Anim) I can get for free here...

[Dagger]

Monthly subscription didn't surprise me, but I had hoped it wouldn't be.

 

Also adding in more challenges and goals regularly? I don't know if it fits with what I do currently and will for the foreseeable future, but at the same time...

 

It sounds like fun.

 

I guess I'll see on Monday!

[Minna]

The only email I received was the most recent one, so I have no idea what any of this is about. How do I catch up?

[Casbin]

There are links to the prior emails in the newest blogpost.

 

This really is a lot of fun but I'll have to wait and see how much of an impact that fee will have.

[neil81]

anybody got an idea how much the monthly fee will be? would have been cool to sign up before the new year!

Yeah, I am super curious, and it sounds fun, but my previous experiment with the N F Academy tells me I like setting my own goals, making my own plans.

 

I know a lot of folks are like "Argh! This is all so complicated and confusing! Just tell me what I need to do!" but I love the planning. I sometimes choose to follow tried and tested plans for specific fitness goals, but overall, I think I do pretty well being self-directed.

 

I also have a fairly tight budget, and I'm trying hard to make financially responsible decisions. So while I am not averse to paying a monthly fee, I'd have to weigh it carefully against other options.

I like planing too. Although, when I get to the exercise 3 times per week part of my fitness journey (focusing on every day movement right now) I think my NFA purchase will come in handy because I don't want to have to plan that out until I know more.

 

But with all other goals and such? I definitely like the planing and figuring out where to focus my attention and such. I've been doing good since I found NF in May this year (barely!) and figured out how to put together challenges (I do forum 4 week ones) to help further my goals and ambitions.
