Alright double post, sorry. I've managed to upload SOME [I'm sure there's more] of the pics of that mobile website now... Remember they're from a mobile phone so they're TINY. If anyone can enlarge them and make something of them w/o distorting them go for it... Here they are.

One thing's for sure though - Maia Sturn's FB is definitely IG because some of these pics are on that profile.

Edit: Oh and btw the video Slime refers to when typing 11-19 in searchnet is a longer version of the one we saw on the countdown video which shows Maia in a park seemingly looking for a subspot.

It starts w/ her in a field being watched looking at her phone for signal, which then turns to her being @ Oxford Circus in The West End (Tourist area in London) With people milling around her, it cuts back to the park and then back to her @ O.C... Each time it goes back to her in the West End there's less and less people until it becomes deserted.

There's actually quite a few things this could be related to on that Wiki page... For instance considering the guy chasing Maia seems to be an American Military Officer...

Quote:
1794 - The United States and the Kingdom of Great Britain sign Jay's Treaty, which attempts to clear up some of the lingering problems left over from the American Revolutionary War.


Considering Maia saying the "People" behind this might not even be human...

Quote:
1881 - A meteorite lands near the village of Großliebenthal, southwest of Odessa, Ukraine.

1969 - Apollo program: Apollo 12 astronauts Pete Conrad and Alan Bean land at Oceanus Procellarum ("Ocean of Storms") and become the third and fourth humans to walk on the Moon.


Just on the basis of war.

Quote:
1941 - World War II: Battle between HMAS Sydney and HSK Kormoran. The two ships sink each other off the coast of Western Australia, with the loss of 645 Australians and about 77 German seamen.

1942 - World War II: Battle of Stalingrad - Soviet Union forces under General Georgy Zhukov launch the Operation Uranus counterattacks at Stalingrad, turning the tide of the battle in the USSR's favor.

1944 - World War II: U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt announces the 6th War Loan Drive, aimed at selling $14 billion USD in war bonds to help pay for the war effort.


Also such things as...

Quote:
1946 - Afghanistan, Iceland and Sweden join the United Nations.

1950 - US General Dwight D. Eisenhower becomes supreme commander of NATO-Europe.


And most recently.

Quote:
1999 - Shenzhou 1: The People's Republic of China launches its first Shenzhou spacecraft.


I'm also remembering one of the PDF's we picked up happened to be about satellite's and spacecrafts.

Two things left today this is obviously now the official kick-start.

Day 10 Video:

Quote:
I can't sleep tonight, that man he's out there. He saw this clip yesterday and now he knows I'm here. This morning I found a dog on the doorstep with his throat cut. I don't know if it's a threat or a gift. I don't want him hanging around here...

I've locked all the doors and I've locked all the windows but, who would hear me? I think I need to find something to defend myself... I'll have a look tomorrow.


Day 10-1: Written:

Quote:
Still can't sleep.

People need people, I know that. Humans are social beings. But they're also the most dangerous animal. Whatever happened here, I'm betting humans did it. We don't just kill for territory and for Principles. We refine killing to a science.

The science of killing has brought mankind's greatest technical advancements: Gunpower, nuclear weapons, rocket science - and now whatever did this.

We changed the world. We killed off so many species it was only a matter of time until we killed our own.

Now there's just me and him. For all I know, he did this. Or he might think I did it. Maybe I did. I could go and talk to him right now, but is it worth the risk? If I don't speak to him, there's no risk. I can survive on my own. There's more than enough space in the world. We can both survive if he'll just leave me alone.


Now on the word Gunpowder, the G is bolded, I'm not sure if there were other letters bolded in the other written parts of this list.

Edit: I typed Gunpowder in the searchnet and got the following flashing image.

With the new clue of _ U _ _ _ _ _ _ Y and the letters from the fax yesterday, P G T O, I reckon it's going to be 'purgatory'.

The search doesn't work yet, as usual. We'll have to wait for the rest of the letters...

Good call but the thing is that's not necessarily true. - We got "Conquer" before all the letters were released.

Ntm those seem to be the final videos/diary entries. There's no more links.

Natas remember we have the PGTO along w/ the now UY which is where Werewolf's getting the "Purgatory" from me thinks.

Maia does reference Purgatory in one of her entries too.

Unfortunately not... Because I'm not sure too many people are 'following' it. I actually didn't know about the PGTO until werewolf just mentioned it to be honest lol.

I could attempt to make one? But, it's not really my forte haha

Hi folks, I'm new, but I've been following this thread for several days. I'd never done the ARG thing before Cloverfield, whatever that was (Laughing), but it seriously hooked me. So when somebody posted about this "countdown game" over on the forum I regularly haunt, Zombie Squad, all it took was about 5 minutes and I was a gonner.

I have a LOT of theories about what's going on, and what's possibly going on. I've made some observations at my regular forum that I would be happy to post to here if you guys will allow it and it's not breaking any rules. Or, I can just give you the link:

http://zombiehunters.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=26698

My sn is "Ellie With An Axe". My posts start on page 7.

I do have that Google Earth .kmz nearly ready to upload. I used a friend as a guinea pig for it last night and fixed a couple of problems (I hope). I'm going to work on it some today, then I'll be happy to post it.

Cheers!

Hey Steph and welcome...

Firstly the forum link you've posted.... You have to be a registered member of that forum.

Also what is this google earth.kmz?

Hi Leyton! Sorry about the link. I will look through the posts I made and copy the good stuff over here, would that be cool?

The GE .kmz is still a rough draft, but I'm just marking the locations Maia is talking about/going to, plus the SUBSPOT locations that are listed on (I guess what is) the archive journal entry page that says "Recent Activity" up at the top. Let me see if I can find it in my ARG folder on my desktop.... aha! Here it is:



Is it clear who is making these "recent entries"? Is it supposed to be Maia? I figured out that the 2nd set of numbers are UK postcodes, but the 4th place in the set is possibly a key code. The ones listed are for locations in Northumberland and London. Unfortunately I can't access the emergencysubnet/maiasturn sites, and I haven't gotten together all the journal/video entries and pictures and whatnot because of that, so the GE file is incomplete (and for some entries I do have, I just don't have anywhere to stick a placemark).

Here's the .kmz, version 0.1: http://robotmixtape.googlepages.com/CounterGame.kmz

Everyone's free to dl and tell me what they think, what's missing, what needs changing, etc.

Those co-ords aren't specifically UK postalcodes being as we don't have them like that. I mean SE6 possibly but not SE6A.

By my calculation her whole trip seems to be going along the River Thames/Embankment area.

Also what exactly do we use to open that GE file?

Google Earth. http://earth.google.com

As I said, I believe the 4th place in the postcode is a key letter. As in, A key, B key, C key.
