I've emailed as well, asking about her safety and the necromancer. Let's see what responses we'll each get.
And we must be optimistic on the 1000 people thing- the links only been up for about a day and a half, and we already have 222 hits! At this rate, we'll reach 1000 in about a week!

They probably are trying to slow things down a bit, considering the movie isn't due to come out until 2006. If we generate too much interest too early, it might not suit their purposes. You figure that the movie was filmed in something like a week on a very shoestring budget. They may be using us as their cheap advertising to drum up interest and talk about the movie. Kind of like Blair Witch. Just spec on my part.

I don't really know how I feel about that. Even if they want to slow the progress of the game or something, they could have just given us a decent pregame; maybe a couple more sites, a blog or two, a few puzzles- anything. But no. They decide to try to drum up cheap advertising by having, nay, forcing, 1000 people to see this document in order for us to make any progress at all in the game. I think that it's just a cheap marketing tactic. My advice for the PMs, get on with the game. In my humble opinion, you guys have a good premise for a story. It has potential. Instead of forcing this on us just get on with the game.
/me steps down from his soap box.

By the way, I've helped the counter along a little bit. It's up to 350 now.

And besides, what's to stop someone from spoofing a few hundred IP #'s in order to generate a false success, anyhow?

I don't think it'll take too long to get to 1000 anyway, I mean, it's at ~350 now after what, 4/5 days?
give it another week or so and we should be there.

5 minutes (Yes, 5 MINUTES!!!!!) after adding the link to the counter-site on my sig in another forum and it shoots up by 25 hits!

I think that's pretty damn good!

402 baby. 1000 hits and new ARG, here we come!
*good to see it made it onto the IMDB site too hehe thank you*

EDIT: OMG! Huge news!

Just got this from Martha:

He is the man beneath the tarp.

Watch the site. I will show you Kraus when I know it's safe and enough people know about the Document so I'm not the only one.


Strange thing was that the email I ** out was my own??

And I got a picture too!!!! *see attachement*

Hmmm, looks like there's a person underneath that tarp thing. It's an odd picture that's for sure. Considering the fact that it's a JPEG, it could be stegged...

Edit: What was the subject of that e-mail? It could be a keyword or something.

I'm also starting to follow this ARG. Goes without saying that I also clicked the linky a few times. Very Happy

Title of the email was "Re: Experiments" Me and Martha have used the same title for all our emails.

The counter is currently on 414. Come on guys we can do this!

I've left little notes around work so people will view the site!

I've put a link up on my website ordering people to look @ the document. I've linked to misery_of_pain's page so we can track the # of hits.

Out of interest, who else has emailed Martha since Wednesday night/morning (getting confused with time zones here) and has anyone else had a reply? I emailed her asking about L.K. but got no reply. I'm guessing that misery_of_pain's been contacted because the counter's on his site, but i'd be interested to know if anybody else has had a response.

I'm also trying to get people to visit it. I've giving my friends little slips of paper with the address and " beware the experiment Unholy Trinity." Maybe some people will even choose to follow this with us. Very Happy

FYI: I'm a girl.

Secondly, I emailed martha asking if there's any more information she can give us, and haven't received a reply as yet.

I'll update if i hear anything.
