 		I'm beginning to wonder if we're on the right track. 17 pages without a website link, an email link or any other kind of in-game interaction except from these letters makes me think that perhaps we're missing something obvious.

You have a point, i mean, all we've been doing is specing. And that specing it usually leading us in circles. And as we go in circles, we learn nothing. And as we learn nothing, we start specing again, and the whole prcess starts over again...


Although i do like the Eye of Horus theory...

 		A number of possibilities
How about http://207.246.97.187?

This is the only valid IP you can parse out of that 11-digit number. It is wonderfully devoid of anything encouraging, which in itself is encouraging Very Happy .

GCDOA looked it up on whois.sc, and finds it to be associated with http://ajkin.net and http://ajkin.com.

Now we just need to figure out if this is the right place to be going, and why.

Well, those websites are certainly strange...

Even if those aren't related we may have found another ARG! lol


EDIT: found the whois for that one site above with all the numbers

Apparently its something about an organization called United States Lexington Open World

Maybe we can decipher the bar codes using this? Type an "a" in the box, "b", etc, until we've built an alphabet?

EDIT: Same time, Shining, lol

 		The box types in barcode - probably match what you type with the barcode on the sticker, hit the magic button, and get to the next stage

 		Is he kin?
GCDOA reminded me that ajkin sounds a little like the Mayan sun god name (we are in the chat channel he set up, #tomtooman on chat-sol). Indeed, there are variants on Kinich Ahau. One that I have found is Ah Xoc Kin, which is getting pretty close ... if someone spells that second part with a J, you get ajkin I guess.

Did anyone else notice, that when you type letters while on this page, it comes out as a barcode? This cant just be a coincidence.

If we figure out which letters make up the barcodes sent to us, it will probably spell something. Check it out, it HAS to be related..


EDIT: figures..lol beaten again

 		notice how only letters work in the text box. no numbers or symbols. and capital letters give the same symbols as lowercase letters.

Yeah, and i think the next two letters might be E and E. They seem to match also

so we have AEE so far.
