Clockwork Society -> DarkDaysAreComing -> The Secret World
was "Just a bit of Help (!)" Appears to be related to a MMO

I'm sorry to be so blunt, but I didn't quite know where to ask this that people might listen. This isn't an ARG [by me at least] but it is some sort of puzzle and I'm quite desperate at this stage.

I'm looking for the clockwork society?

No worries if you havn't a clue what I'm on about.

[edit - clarified the topic title - kona]

Where did you hear about the clockwork society

a simple google search bought up a few pages one of which is this one

www.theclockworksociety.com/

Why did you need to ask here or is there something else you wanted to know?

Browsing thru this right now.
I found a blog,
http://theclockworksociety.blogspot.com/2007/05/secrets-of-society.html

It says here at the bottom of the page:
Quote:
What is The Clockword Society?
The Clockwork Society is a gathering of Theorists and Philosophers who are working together for the good of Gaia and the good of the community. They are those who are aware that Tibetan Sherpas are not the way. It's not a guild but it's still a secret gathering. The Clockwork Society doesn't exist! You have to remember that. The Clockwork Society is not against anyone but it'll do whatever it takes to protect itself from THEM.

If you click on the blurred "o" on the clockwork society page a countdown comes up underneath (at least it looks like a countdown) then if you click on the emblem at the top a new page is shown with all sorts of statments on it at the bottom of this page is an email address

I have sent an email requesting more info so we shall see where this goes

EDIT: after further searching I have found the following riddle
Quote:
At the end we start

N:E 22 8 11 2 15 26 24 12 11 26


Answer needs to be PM to the author of the blog previously mentioned this will give access to the forum set up for the ARG

Them? The countdown may refer to the ARG kicking off.

It's referring to

Darker Days which is a MMO that had some argish elements. If you Search for it you should be able to find the thread.

Hmm...this seems to be related to www.darkdaysarecoming.com and Cry Gaia.

Anyone know what that is? It is an already existent ARG? a new ARG? is there already a thread for it?

EDIT: Nevermind, see above.

It is a society started by players of http://www.darkdaysarecoming.com, which is a game for Funcoms coming mmo the secret world. (And since we have had character interaction I think we can call it somewhat ARG).

I kept a blog during the first part of the game at http://darkdaysrcoming.blogspot.com/, keeping track of all info and solves, and I help out on http://www.crygaia.com, for anyone curious.

Right now we're just waiting for something new to happen. You totally had my hopes up there. Sad

Has anyone noticed the text in red in the Clockwork Soc. site isn't actually part of the image?

It's a riddle in the spirit of darkdays to get to their forum.
