Just to clarify, while the Countdown Timer is based on your own computer's local time, the "In 2 days" message seems to be based on the server's time. So it should probably change at a consistent time for everyone and this would tell us the time the server is set at. and the time when the 2 and 16 day countdowns wil end

Could we also start another thread wherein we tell each other everytime we leave the computer to take a pee?

I haven't yet (peed, that is).

Glad that topic was so amusing to some people... It seems the counters are set to Eastern US time, so tomorrow at midnight, we should get the next pieces of the puzzle. See everyone then

Actually something strikes me as odd about the timer.

The format for the timer is this: XX:XX:XX:XX:Xxx

The first 9 X's are of course days, hours, minutes, seconds, and tenths of seconds.

Yet the last 2 digits (small x's) counts down at the different rate than the timer, and it doesn't match up with the dight for tenths of seconds.

Don't know if this means anything, but I didn't see this mentioned anywhere (not in this forum anyway)

According to the .js Javascript file, the last three digits are all in one variable for milliseconds. It doesn't seem that unusual that milliseconds would be kind of... off? I don't know. Seems unlikely that it's relevant. At least to me. Question

Network Throttling is a method of distributing the load from the outside world across multiple web servers in order to keep a site from crashing. I'm guessing that with all the data and domains Bungie has (supposedly) had hosted at Rackspace that at midnight, the puzzle will unfold and new sites and links will become available.
