[TRAILHEAD] Tomorrow Calling I found this on argn.com
Quote:
TemporalKinephonics
If a relative from the future asked for your help to protect the Earth, what would you do?
This is the first line of the teaser email leading to a new alternate reality game aimed to bring environmental awareness to the ARG community. The game offers the usual (such as hidden clues on the sites, YouTube videos, and cryptic blogs) while the flavorful text speaks of an uncertain tomorrow, and an Earth that we must protect now for future generations.
So I went to the temporalkinephonics website and emailed one of the people there asking them to email me back if they ever recieved a call for me. I got an email today with a handle and password. Has anyone else heard of this?

I got the audio clip from the future and did some other things I had figured out but when I returned to the site it was gone. Maybe their server is down?
The site worked a couple of hours ago.

I saw the same article yesterday, and was going to make a thread. You beat me too it. But weird that it is down today!
Could you possibly attatch the sound clip up here so we can listen? If/when the site is back up, we'll probably all sign up for it as well!

The audio clip was on the actual website and there was no way for me save it as it was attached to a flash movie. (Plus I didn't think of saving it at the time since the website was working perfectly.)

Ah, okay. Well thats too bad. I guess we'll just have to wait for the site to get back up. I'm excited!

Still can't sign up though. Guess it was a "by invitation only" sort of thing.
Edit: sent an email to the info address, but only got an autoreply.

So maybe this is still really only a testing phase, IE only a select few players get to see it now.

I got the auto reply too at first but the next day I got an email from the same guy saying to log into the website with a password and name, then you can hear the message.
So maybe this is still really only a testing phase, IE only a select few players get to see it now.
