I just get redirected to the HBO canada site.
and using a proxy gives me infinite loading screen. RIP
EDIT: It finally loaded! is there some way to hit enter when giving your email or is it just messing up for me?

Yea HBO seems to be restricting this to US-only
I'm not sure about the email -- I just hit enter normally after typing my email in the box. But I do think it's weird that immediately after you enter your email the page says "Thank you we will be in touch" (or something like that), but when you come back it wants you to enter your email again.
I also discovered that you aren't allowed to opt out of the option to receive updates from Westworld -- it makes you choose that option to continue.
I really would like to know what the Access Code thing is for.

If anyone has noticed the Python code visible at 2 seconds in to the Hold-Shift Glitch video, I searched for the username at the bottom of the screen and discovered that the code is from the file https://github.com/joedicastro/python-recipes/blob/master/get_size.py.
Unfortunately, I think this is a red herring.

just tried a bunch of random stuff, including the comment at the bottom of the source code (different for me, too), delos, and some tempest related stuff. none of it worked :/

Tried just about everything that appears on the site and got nothing back. The more I think about it, the more I think we may need to wait for the emails to go out for the next step.

So on reddit someone posted they saw an ad on qz.com and it had the access code. I put it in and a little movie showed and then I got a button for begin assessment for prospective guest evaluation.
Here it is

After completing the assessment, I got an email from Aeden that they are working on my profile - there is an Aeden listed in the IMdb for one episode.

What? I swear I found that in the source code and tried it but it didn't work. anyway, I just did the quiz (I haven't found the ad online, so I don't know how else I would have found that, thanks) and got the email from Aeden.
Also the little string at the bottom of the source code changed again. I am going to collect them here, non-spoilered, because I want use use code tags:
Still don't know what this means.

new comment on the bottom of the source again, this time its "5ced5d7." Still interested in these, but could they be some developer thing? any web developers know if this could be like something for devs to communicate with each other?
Just seems like theres so many of these its hard to imagine theyd all be used for something

The Background image of the email has a significant name:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
{1426b40f-c7c5-40d2-87f6-0e6b8271662c}_background
Could that be a code?

could it reveal the access code?

docwho2100 shared the working access code with us several posts up. Whether or not there is anything else to 'access' at this point is quite unknown.
That image name just looks to me (and my untrained eye) like typical digital encoding of web based stuff.
It's the fact that these other codes are explicitly commented into the source code and then changing at intervals that really makes me wonder...

I tried the whole string of characters and each section individually. Nothing happened, but interesting thinking investigating the emails more closely.

The Westworld twitter account (@WestworldHBO) sent out the ad with the accesscode, below.
So far this just feels like viral marketing...still hoping for another email response.
