First one is decrypted, it's a mysterious zip file. It requires a password though, which will probably be in another one of the clues.
One is an EXE, another a PNG and another is straight source code. They're still being deciphered |

Sniper's codes are looking like they're a MIDI file.
Basically, each class says a "joke" in text chat when a person with the capacitor high fives. Each "joke" is actually lines of binary, with each word in the joke referencing a byte of binary, and the year of the joke is the order for the bytes. A joke looks like this

So far Spy's has been cracked. It was a zip file, but it required a password. Engineer's is straight source code that does some simple math, but it's not fully cracked. Sniper's is a Midi. Demoman is a .txt file. There's also a PNG in there, and an EXE, I don't remember the classes they go with. This is basically the Banana ARG of last month on steroids. It doesn't help High Fives and Capacitors are rare items.

Ned, where is this Engineer C++ code I saw mentioned on reddit. I want to give it a glance so I too can go "Welp, I got nothing" Edit: Oh, found it, I see, they are still missing chunks of code. I can fill a small bit in, but I am sure almost anyone can. Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void Q ( int val)
{
..............., val + 'a' -1);..
}
.......................Valve = 3;
...for (int i = 0; i <5991; i++)
{........................... 333 );
...Valve += 12345;
...Q( Valve % 18334 .Ç'wí–alv.... 3;
...Q( Valve - 6....);
...for (...t m = 0; m < 19....+ )
....Val.........int OSW= 4.....+ 1;
...Q ( OSW );...OSW *= 2;
...Q ( OSW + 1 );
...Q ( OSW+ 2 );
...int l...45;
......Q.( l / 3 );
...Val......;
...int
no.................. 3;
...Q ( nott.........}
.................‰œ
My bet, the code produces the key needed for the spy's keepass file.

What if... what if all the places that Red and Blu have been fighting over for all these years have been secret facilities designed to record combat data and generate resources for the Gray team robots. Factories, trainyards, secret labs, briefcases full of intelligence, gravel pits, historic landmarks. The reason the Administrator has been playing both sides has been so she can create the ultimate army, and now the robots are here to replace us. We've been fueling our own demise.

Am I foolish in thinking this could be something bigger than TF2? The Pyromania update has been out for like a month right? It just seems like something they could save for later unless it's... I shouldn't get my hopes up. |

Foundry's fires have gone out, its smokestacks aren't smoking, and the smelting has stopped.
Whatever metal things they were making... are completed. (note that Foundry came with a Terminator reference achievement if you go knocked into the metal) |

TF2's lore is great fun to follow. Pity I don't care for the game itself. ;)
The Way It's Meant to be Played™. ![]() Haha, precisely what I wanted to post. Everything from Valve is an ARG. :p |

Everyone gets three codes. Only one person needs the capacitor and/or the high five (either can start the taunt).
Go to (quote to see) and join BLU team, they'll help you from there. They have people set up with capacitors and high five taunts, so you don't need either to get your codes. We still need a lot of codes though, right now Engy is getting closest, any little bit helps. |

Ok, this is what got from the function Q
Code:
void Q ( int val )
{
xxxxxxxxxxxxx, val + 'a' - 1);
}

Here's the data found so far
Soldier's progress ![]() "Councilman" upside down. It is NOT the password to the zip, meaning another one of those will probably be password protected.
