 		This may be reaching, but...

From Avery's professional page:



From the Wiki article on Iris:

"Iris is the personal messenger of Hera, queen of the gods."

"Iris is represented either as a rainbow, or as a young maiden with wings on her shoulders."

From AR:

"Who is the path of light from blackest Earth to brilliant heaven?
On whose golden wings will we fly from here to there?"

AR also responded specifically to the word "iris".

Finally, I'm no horticulturalist, but is Avery holding irises (iris flowers) in that pic? Could he be the messenger AR is alluding to?

 		All this makes me think that the PMs commandeered his site for the purpose of the ARG.

 		has anyone steg'ed the background image of the countdown timer? im a novice in photoshop, and when i see a bunch of darkness, i use the dodge tool to brighten things up a bit. i started on teh corners, but they seemed to not be lightening up at all, but as i got into the picture it was getting lighter like it was supposed to, heres what i ended up with (yes its over dodged, but to show the black corners)



imo it looks like someone got happy with photoshop on there.

for those that dont have it, heres the original background: (name is the same, just re-uped to photobucket)

 		Those images are reminiscent of the Bungie intro vid to the Halo games. You know, those little cells moving around.

Edit: Here you go

 		That is what I believe, that his MySpace was "hacked" by AR.

Anyway, to be sure, I emailed him with the contact email from his website.
Below is what I asked of him.

Subject: SOTA membership

In need of membership.
Can you endorse me?

What is the P.O. Box address of the national headquarters?
Or who might be the local representative for the state of New York?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you kindly.


(If you do not know what this is about, your MySpace account had information about a group called the Society of the Ancients. And I am very sorry for bothering you with this message.)

I believe the picture was adjusted with Photoshop CS2, if that's any help. Was anyone able to parse the image directly after it was opened in a text editor?

I ran a stegdetect on it which came back negative.

It was. There's a ton of Photoshop CS2 metadata in it.

Might want to check this out too. Website for the myspace blog.


Hopefully I am not posting something somebody already posted.

http://www.averyfane.com/index.html

There you can get an english version of the site.

Edit: Bah, somebody beat me.

the cells make up earth, which then makes the 'I' in Bungie... I for eye, and iris?

EDIT: You fast bugger.

There is now a Transmission Log thread here. We should probably start distributing our findings appropriately.

Addendum: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=334154#334154 the New thread. Which apparently MjolnirMkII linked to already.

Apologies for duplication.

 		Agreed. Move all appropriate data on the countdown Transmission log site and the Society of the Ancients site already discussed to the new thread and all further communication about it to the new thread.
Please... Very Happy

 		Someone should call him maybe? But not tonight. At least have the respect to call him at a decent hour of the day so that if he is not a part of this game, you do not disturb him too much. I know I would hate to start having all these calls about something I have no idea about all of a sudden.
