Day 5: Video.
Quote:
So, Ive been thinking... Whatever happened here is probably a man-made disaster not terrorism [video of Maia in the field/park flashes up], this is far too big for that. And my dad, he always used to talk about accidents like this at work. And I've seen enough films to know that, whoever's behind this is either big business or the Military.

And what I saw back there, it still could be the Military; I mean not ours, they'd warn their people first... But I mean, what about New York? What's it like there, is it still the same? And (Russell?)... And Singapore and Tokyo?

I love Tokyo [Plane going down flashes/CommNET] - Oh, *Looks like I'm online again*?... The BBC must have a hotspot here, they're practically the Government anyway... Perhaps they'll know something?

Close up of a (BBC?) Building


Once you type in "CommNET" you get the following screen...

Edit: I also find it funny how she referrs to "Russell" when talking about New York. - The guys name in "Afterworld" is Russell Shoemaker. He is in NYC when "The Fall" (Which is referred to here as "The Crash") Happens.

Edit 2: I think this is supposed to be a "Real life" version of Afterworld. - Steph you've seen it, right? - Russell "Sells Technology" Or did, as he puts it, "when there was Technology to sell.... And a world to sell it to" - On www.maiasturn.com she states and I quote:

Quote:
A lovely marketing guy in the US has been following the site for a while - hello there - and my boss is supposed to be meeting him and some IBM honchos next week to present the new PDA prototypes. Someone said they were looking forward to meeting me and now, hey presto, I have a flight to New York booked.


In "Afterworld" Russell is headed to NY for a meeting w/ some "IBM guys". - I definitely believe this to be interlinked now. - Although it also makes me wonder whether or not this is one of the reasons we, in the UK, haven't been able to access afterworld.tv yet; were we s'posed to know Russell's story yet...? Because by all accounts afterworld.tv has an explaination for this 'Fall/Crash' doesn't it?

That would be really interesting if it turned out that US users can't visit the UK SubNET site, and UK users couldn't visit the Afterworld site, yet the game is about the circumstances in Afterworld. Deffo sounds to me like it could be. And also deffo sounds like this could be a case of US vs. UK, which could explain the geoblocking.

Oh... the geoblocking thing. I've tried that free anon proxy site I've seen mentioned all over the place, but I can't ever get the page to load. Sad I dunno. I don't even get a 404... I just get dead link. I've checked my firewalls and my script blockers and I'm not understanding why I can't get on to the site. I wonder if Cox has it blocked locally.

Has anybody heard anything more about the upcoming movie "The Happening"? I don't know anything about the movie, but the ad makes it seem like everybody just suddenly vanishes. Does anybody think it could be linked with the ARG and/or Afterworld?

http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/thehappening/
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0949731/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Happening_(2008_film)

(I LOVE that there's an old oval VW Bug in the poster for this movie. I have a '68 Bug. The poster's already very cool, but now I have added incentive to buy it. Razz)

(ps - I tried to put the wiki link in url bbcode but it just isn't having it. may have to highlight/copy the link and manually paste it.)

On the commNET page, maybe if the logos on the left are highlighted in the right order, then something new might open up.

My session has timed out so I can't try it, but its an option. It would explain why they only light up but dont actually do anything.

Whenever you access commnet the power goes straight down to 1%. So it seems something speed related.

There's 7 different symbols too, so I think it's unlikely it has anything to do with order! There's 5040 different combinations of them 7 symbols Razz

Yeh, if its speed related it must be something pretty simple...

Actually that's not such a bad idea...

Read the things on the right. Highlight on the left corresponding w/ them (EG: Dial 999 - Hit emergency services logos in the order you'd call them? Ambulance, Fire, Police etc?).

Edit: Actually you're wrong about being unable to get anything... I clicked one of them and got this pic. Will update more if I get them.

Ok this is all of them in order.

Underground/Train Icon (Both give the same).

Emergency Services Icon (All 3 give you the same).

First Aid Icon.

The British Armed Forces Icon doesn't light up/Give you anything.
