 		It certainly looks promising. Nothing seems out of the ordinary, as of yet, but it was posted on /x/ and has one of those ever-used countdowns, so I'd say something will probably come of it. Guess we just check back in in five days, eh?

 		And there are also N00.000000 W-000.000000 coordinates in black text in the bottom left of the screen. Hopefully those will change to a real location soon too.

 		Hey, I'm new to this whole ARG thing, but I found something in the source code that is meant to display when the countdown reaches zero. Is it okay to post this information or is it 'cheating'?

Edit: I guess not

 		lol so in the source code there's some text (which in other cases would be bad coding) reading "You've waited a long time for this, Lets begin. (317) 455-5763"

Call the number, get the audio attached to this post.

Decode...?

ETA: For the record, the countdown is to 4am EST October 1st. Or 9am GMT.

Wow. I'm not really sure how I missed that one. Oh, well. Looks like as good of a confirmation as any that this is the beginning of...something.

Just for the record, the 317 area code is for the Indianapolis area. Probably doesn't have much significance, but only time will tell.

EDIT: Also, the coordinates brought up above were most definitely NOT there a couple of hours ago when I first checked out the site.

Umm, no. The time varies dependend on the time you have set on your machine.
For example, you can set your time to Oct 1st and you'll get the message

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
You've waited a long time for this, Lets begin. (317) 455-5763


So unless we know the timezone the PM is referring to we can't say when the website/phone number actually will release new content.

Well, since the area code for that phone number is for central Indiana, I'd say that it's safe to work off of the supposition that they're working in the Eastern time zone.

 		Yeah, maybe you're right.
But I'd like to mention that the past 2 updates on the site (like adding the flash content) both were done at around 16:00 UTC.

 		They're answering calls now. It's a little hard to hear the message, but I called three times and then got a call back.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Recorded call ~ "Marge, we're rescheduling the meeting. It's gonna be after the 9th, on the 10th. It's gonna be in Eagle Creek." Presumably this is the park in Indianapolis, where the area code is from.


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
They called me back after I called three times trying to understand the recording. I answered, and there was only incomprehensible murmuring on the other end. If it was a speaker, they didn't respond to me, and just kept talking.
