I haven't had time to keep up with much since Eric's holiday ended, so I might be trouting here. Advanced apologies.

If the date of August 11th has anything to do with anything, the Perseid Meteor shower is supposed to come around on the eleventh/twelfth. It might be nothing, but it's better than a product launch. The main comet of the shower runs through earth's orbit once, but it's not really that close to earth.

Maybe it's something to look into, at least.

It's every year. Each year the Earth moves through the Perseid cloud. Most of the meteors are seen during the week between August 8 and 14 with a peak on August 12. This is a strong meteor shower and during the peak, one or two meteors a minute can be expected.

The source of the shower is the comet Swift-Tuttle. They are called the Perseids because the radiant (where they appear to be originating), is in the constellation Perseus.

This year, the moon is new on the 12th, so dark skies and good viewing conditions! Look toward the northeast starting around 9 pm (your local time) on the 12th. As the constellation rises in the sky, the rate of the meteors will increase, peaking before dawn.

Additionally, there is a full lunar eclipse on the 28th of August beginning at 07:53 UT.

Quick aside: X-3 has come up before, although not necessarily referring to the same thing. Nomen Nescio's Flickr account (link) contained 3 screenshots for the X3: Reunion game, if you recall.

Wikipedia has a description of the storyline for the game (link), which contains "a cult consisting of priests trying to find the truths of the origin of the Argon race, Earth, and other mysteries", intriguingly.

okay, ive never really been involved with an ARG before. (mason directed me here)

my knowledge with codeing and decoding things is poor, as is most computer related things.

ive read from the begining to here.

one thing i recall from an earlier post is something mentioning fresh/clear minds...well im a fresh mind? but everything being discussed here seems way over my head, im intreasted though.

when reading earlier I hadnt checked the dates of posts or number of pages here. but i randomly searched for things. but then again im sure you searched down the route too see if theres any connections anywhere

"There is no answer to the equation φ(x) = 118, making 118 a nontotient."

correct me if im wrong but the squiggly weird thing i swear was in bold on something i read within this thread, i did check too see, but when looking back i couldnt find it (but i didnt click any of the links)

year relating stuff

also mentions of snow and intelligent birds. are there any snow based birds from that family.

also, are there any other "groups" doing this ARG, what are there takes on things. or are there people that do ARGs indepentantly and dont log stuff online.

im totally new to all this arg stuff.

Just a reminder that the countdown clock is set to expire in a few hours.

[JawZ]

Dunno why...but i decided to hover round, with raven and nevar meaning snow in mind, also was looking at things relating to the british virgin islands

i stumbled across the number 118

As expected, "Launch initiated..."
But no change in the source of any of the sites. No update on nomennescio.org either (the pass seems to have changed though, anyone getting through successfully?).
