Trailhead via MySpace
I just got a MySpace message from this guy:
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=298178567

This was the subject of the message:
DDjRRcH03B8XNnApBj0duT6K6VGrI7BkhjEtQA==

It is an Advanced Cypher that decodes to this:
http://kxtwr.sufi.cc/

When you go there it says:
Will you be there?? 1/1/08

There is also a code at the bottom of the page.

I think I just got my first trailhead! My only concern is that this has to do with What is this game? since it also launches on the first of the year, but I don't know for sure. If someone knows this to be true, then we can shut down this thread. Otherwise, solve away!!!

 		Yeah, I saved the picture to my computer but nothing shows up. It didn't find anything in the source code either. The clue has got to be in the code at the bottom.

 		Wow, that was fast...

Much much faster then I had anticipated... Good test though... Glad it worked out as nicely as I had planned...

Keep an eye out for more trailheads later on =) I plan to release my full ARG soon enough.

Sorry to fool you guys Sad but i wanted to know how long to time things out, how quick people react and solve simple puzzles..

 		Dang you Ayeso! I was so happy to get my first trailhead! You better send the real one to me too or your head will be mine! Good job though, looked neat. Are you going to launch the real one on the first? I guess that might be TMI though...

 		Looking forward to playing it. I just hope you don't mind everyone knowing that when an Opera ARG shows up, it's yours.

 		Destegged stega.jpg
I'll be waiting. You do have a sense of humor, I just destegged the image with Camouflage (which took a while because I installed it through Wine in Linux, I had to use the command line to desteg it). it indeed was stegged, it had a file called ready.txt in it. It said:

Good to see you are clever? Will you be ready?
