Looks like a copy of "Cyrptonomicon" on the desk there.

Thanks for all the help so far, guys. That's definitely the cryptonomicon on the desk....

Now, what's the GG on the monitor mean, and when will the live feed links work? Can anybody see anything via the live feed? I tried both links in IE and Firefox and got errors each time.

From what I can see, its an actual live footage from the room (the globe is blank, by the way).
Which could, in fact, mean that we will watch the freakin flower grow.
On the other hand, the computer is on a screensaver, in what appears to be random white streaks (I watched for about a minute and didn't see anything repeating, I think). Looks like a real room, real feed (I thought I saw a fly: clue, trick of the light, or mistake... take your choice)

The "screensaver" or whatever's on the screen in the webcam shots look the webcam feed itself or a photo of the room; the brightness is too high but I can discern the table and the screen.

I think GG means "Good going, you broke the game, now we have to fix it." Someone found the Web Cam by digging for URLs and it probably wasn't supposed to go live yet anyway. I think the game's been messed up and needs to be fixed now.

Um... the problem here is that it is no longer on screen saver.
So my question is, who came in and moved the mouse?

If anyone's still here and not on the P-A forums, they've updated with a new photo, and some new cyphers.
