The records.htm page has been updated. The entry for March 17th '06 now reads "Error 2555266. Aborted."

i noticed this in the source on the recods page as well

scapegoat_2006/2555266_????.htm

smething must be filled in for the ?'s all i get is a 404 error.

Hi all, think I've discovered the meaning of the error number.

[exrester]

I'm curious about this "think cell phones..." thing, and I've been looking for a list of cell-phone-only area codes, but I can't find one. The only one I can think of is 917, but there must be many others, especially in urban areas. Any ideas where we can find a list and then just cold-call the possibilities?

The other thing I'm wondering is whether it makes sense for us to be thinking of this as a USA number, since it seems that the game originates in the UK. Anybody know about cell-phone-specific numbering in the UK?

[Mama JunkYard]

Cell phones in the UK start with 07.

[dontpanic42]

aren't there different amounts of numbers in european phone numbers too?

He also passed on a plain text file called research.txt, saying;

Scapegoat was set up in the late 1990s. The group believe that the universe is really a computer, with everything in it representing DATA.
The group leader is

Error - Restart?

Any ideas?

[dontpanic42]

the spacing has gotta mean something, if you're in a situation and paniking you woulden't take the time to evenly space everything.

[exrester]

True, especially since not every line is spaced like that -- the ERROR 2555266 IS DANGEROUS line in particular.

"29/06/06 -
An outbreak of the Scapegoat virus has infected dozens of online gamers who have visited the Scapegoat website. Police are still looking for A. Anderson from A.L.A.N who disappeared in late April, along with dozens of others who vanished once they conducted the virus."

Updated records.

Edit: "2555266" is also marqueeing on the "The lost must be found" page. Cuuuute.

[jaxxx]

ok guys if u check the source again on the original homepage where it says to be continued you get another message there, under where it says u have been infected it now says "hack into Andersons email for answers"

Ive been trying a few things, im guessing it might be the name of the group leader he was talking about before but no joy so far.
