Another thing is the counter at the bottom of the registration box. It's going up very quickly tonight -- are we just working super hard to register our friends, or does it do something other than count registered participants?

blaine-all the a's look blue to me; the i's, l's, look burgundy as an example. It looks like only the a's are blue but now I'm blind to everything...sigh

Could the counter be approaching the revelation we'll be receiving on June 12th and they keep ramping up the speed to accomodate?

Below are the colors specified in the stylesheet for the page.

I see some grey (confirm) and red (em), but the only blue seems to be backgrounds.

Was this comment always in the source?
"this is not a hit counter."
Sure looks like artificial adjustments for the sign-up counter (random amounts at one minute intervals.) to obfuscate the true number of players. It should break 10k at about 7:45pm, PST at this rate.

yeah the "this is not a hit counter" thing has been there forever. I think its an urchin tracker (google- it tracks things that aren't page hits) so a sign up tracker is feasible.
Here it comes: 9991
yay 10000

I don't mind being the go-to guy.

So: Anyone who would otherwise post their key, PM it to me instead. I'll try to get some people to join too, and if I get to ten I'll make a blog post.

Those counters are making me bonkers. Shocked The one at the bottom is going up much more rapidly now -- earlier tonight it was about 200 every minute or two, but now it's going up a couple thousand about as frequently. What does it MEAN? Shocked

You tell 10 friends and they tell 10 friends... They need a million people to join by midnight on the 12th. Everything is proceeding according to the master plan. Wink

Ya, no way they have that many signups unless they made the front page of some big blog or something. And even then, it's mighty convenient that they fairly exactly hit their goal.

Heh. A few hours ago, I checked and the count was over 50k. Now it's at 11k. Either somebody's algorithms were a little too aggressive or there were a lot of cancellations. Cool

Maybe they meant that as a state of being rather than economically poor.

notes from the text

ok here goes i actually live in York Uk and got an adress for the charles XII pub and it was named after kingf carles Xii the racehorse
also i looked up the top investment bank in the uk and that is UBS
quantum mechanics is all about energy and atoms in the text it asks the qustion does e=m2 or something like that well in quantum mechanics m=hv so the answer would be no
micro economics says they analyze market mechanisms
don't know if this helps at all but there you go
