Yeah, I understand, and that's pretty much what I figured. I didn't mean to suggest that you had anything to do with the game, by the way, but that your remonstration might have prompted the PM to pull the UF reference.

Just some info I dug up on the end of the world:

The end of the 13th b'ak'tun (December 12, 2012) is conjectured to have been of great significance to the Maya, but does not necessarily mark the end of the world according to their beliefs, but a time of re-birth. According to the Popol Vuh, a book compiling details of creation accounts known to the Quiché Maya of the colonial-era highlands, we are living in the fourth world. The Popol Vuh describes the first three creations that the gods failed in making and the creation of the successful fourth world where men were placed. The Maya believed that the fourth world would end in catastrophe and the fifth and final world would be created that would signal the end of mankind.

In reality, the Mayans believed that the world would end on October 13, 4772, which is a Friday. This is confirmed by a date from Palenque, which projects forward in time to 1.0.0.0.0.0. The Classic Period Maya obviously did not believe that the end of this age would occur in 2012, but on this later date.


Hmmmm Looks like Yshk was pretty on point with the date, the year is off...


Does anyone know anything about the Mayan language? (Before the conquistadores)


It might be worth looking into.

Hey guys, just thinking

The Timer is in PST (Aussie Time)

Does this have any relevance, or is it just a random choice?

Caterpillar, I had posted wondering about some of the same issues, and I'm the Kilroyest of Kilroyish noobs (though admittedly one who's conceived a sudden and obsessive interest in Teh Meta and Teh ARGhistory). Sorry I missed your take on it.

Anyhoo, I'm glad that aspect of the game was defused; I feel more comfy diving in now if you fine UFers will have me

In response to the time, you could look up at the top of the forum and get the time (kinda)

Example:

You last visited on Today, at 1:24 pm
The time now is Wed Oct 11, 2006 10:32 pm
All times are UTC - 6

Well, Pacific time is 1 hour less than UTC, so if the top says 10:32pm, it's 9:32pm PST. So, that's one way to go, if you're having trouble with it. Another way is to just set your computer's time based on that, this way you won't miss out on the midnight crazy stuff.

[lizzybordean]

Oh, I see now what you're talking about. Is it usual to put in game stuff in the middle of an established blog? (<-- is such a noob)

[Atom_Force]

fixed
