Right, my bad =P

He doesn't have to already have it loaded into the system. Besides, there's probably a clue on the next picture.

EDIT: Besides, Play only affects that counter itself. That could just be the text at the bottom when you go through the site.

 		Ignore the "Horah!" -- the countdown is an old flash template. Try doing a Search here for the word, and you'll find old ARGs that came across it, such as this post from summer 2004. (Oh, and I see in that same thread where I found the original template)

 		One more day.... Then we'll see what this crazy turtle is up to.
Personally, I don't trust him.

 		It's counting to midnight Eastern time for me.

Unless they made it so that it counts to whatever your local time is, which would be rather dumb to be honest.

ETA: Confirmed. The source inside the Flash component counts down to whatever your LOCAL midnight time is...

Code:
eventDate = new Date(thisYear, 8, 5);


(Months are zero-based, in case you're wondering)

So we have absolutely no idea when this is gonna hit zero.

 		Well it's only midnight here in the UK.

It may have to hit [all] midnights first.

But the background seems to have changed colour, unless I just want to be looking for something 0_o
