 		Dunno what it is, but the thing that's bothered me since I saw the picture is why one side of the tower is red. I don't think it's solid red though - maybe a shape or symbol on the wall? Could just be a window or something equally mundane though.
And yeah, I agree with sinyx that it feels sort of Scottish (I have no real basis for that though: I've been to Scotland once, for the day, but never near any lochs and whatnots.) It just looks like a typical loch-view that you get on telly.

I thought it sort of looked like light from a sunset or sunrise. Or that the whole tower's red, but only one side looks red because the sun's so low.

 		Lakes In Lovecraft
Well the most infamous lake in Lovecraftian Lore is the Great Lake of Hali, where on the shores lies the home of Hastur, the King in Yellow and the Court of the Yellow King.

It is said to lie on the Planet Carcosa.

Just keeping the mythos bent...

On the realm of dreams, did you know that in a dream words are often seen backwards as this is because dreams are a process of the sub-conscious mind.

The font used in the Sentry Outpost logo is rather unique. For when you mirror image it you get:

T209TU0YRTN32

We pull the numbers at you get 209032

Maybe Something???

Oh, BTW here is the sign of the Yellow King, or the Yellow Sign

Looks a lot like numbers to me! The second 0 seems out of place to me for some reason. It's not relflected as much as the other letters in the logo, but I don't think that a very good reason for it to be excluded. For now: 209032

EDIT: Oops: first time using attachments.

I'm not sure about the lone 0 (seems out of place to me for some reason, but I don't have a real reason it should be)

 		ARG newbie here.

Could the 0's not actually be the letter O instead? That would give:

TOTUOYRTN

2932.

 		Hmmm, plug the numbers into Google Earth and it jumps almost instantly to:

The Seine River Resort in Ontario, Canada

http://www.homestead.com/SeineRiverResort/index.html

The numbers used are: 209.0.32

Other Combos without the 0's put you in Africa

 		Well, it would seem that the site is located in Ontario. I checked the edit history for the Sentry Outpost wiki: http://www.sentryoutpost.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page&action=history

The last edit came from an ip address: 64.7.133.65

The Ip address is registered to a canadian communications company located in ontario: Sentex Communications Corporation.

Not sure what this all points to, other than we need to keep an eye on our wily neighbors up north!

To me it looks unnaturally red for sunlight, and there seems to be little or no colour anywhere else. I think it's been added to the image.

My imagination can conjure up some frightening string pullers and some horrifying motivations. I don't share your optimism that this string puller's goals are simple or entertaining, in fact I fear if you go further it will become clear that this is not a game.


That was from HPhack's last post in the introduction thread. He also metions emailing and calling people on the phone. Any verification on this?

 		I haven't received any emails or phone calls. Anyone else?

Incidentally, it definitely looks like the building on the logo and in the background .jpg are the same building. Here's a copy of the logo with the brightness/contrast adjusted:

EDIT: whoops, let's try making that a bit smaller

 		wiki
I'm only slowly catching up with the new developments and all the new threads here, so my apologies if this has already been mentioned.

The sentryoutpost wiki has some interesting History entries. For example, on the About page's history there appears to be some animosity between some people.

Edit: as I suspected, it was previously mentioned here.

 		looking at the image as it is now for the logo there are possibilities of other numbers:

20602

which is the zip code for [Waldorf, MD 20602] Waldorf, MD 20602
