to pass the time, i've been reading up on past ARGs. thought, since i'm entirely new to this (apart from a brief look at nokiagame maybe 2 years ago?) that I should do some background reading in case it's helpful for puzzles when this starts. i read the entire metaurchins book the other night. pretty interesting stuff.

Well, that's awesome! A good primer. I only just started reading it now

Okay, I guess I can post this question here. In the picture at www.projectsyzygy.com it's obviously a collage of different things. The building at the top. What are the words on the side of the building? I know it's been discussed. And if it has any relevence direct me to the discussion (unless of course, the words aren't that important)

Trouble is that the text could be in a different language too - see the debate about the luggage tag being Turkish for more info

actually, i think not. the stamp on the passport is ataturk, but that doesn't necessarily mean the picture is from there

Okay, thanks guys. I have another question. I could probably do a search on this topic as well, but I just don't know what the heck to call it except gray area?
Anyway in the projectsyzygy pic there is a... gray area, well 2 of them really. It just looks like they are out of place, like they don't belong in a seemingly nice collage.

The luggage tag I mentioned was from Ataturk (couldn't remember the name there until you mentioned it) so we assumed it was the same airport. Anyway, without visiting every airport in the world (except Manchester, because it's definitely not that one) or finding someone who knows for sure, we've no way to check this. Not that there seems to be much worthwhile information there anyway. Consensus was that the entire image at projectsyzygy.com was too deliberately ambiguous to reveal much information (except the location firefox mentioned).
Edit: ack - as mentioned by da5id it's the passport stamp not the luggage tag that tells us it's Ataturk! Managed to type quicker than me too

I think it looks nice but I should be careful saying stuff like that; after the e discussion let's not start one on art appreciation too

That's true. If I'm wrong about the gray areas, and they are just there because the artist thought they looked nice, I could be insulting.
If so, nothing to see here PMs, just forget I said anything. Hey look a rabbit!
Gone.
