I can't see any update.

In getawerjob, the typing machine has some letter missing from the blast:
Q W E R I S K M

... because this makes 2 sections of 4 letters, and so on... do you think we can decode it with one of the programs you were using?
It can be silly, I know, but I am just trying to find a clue even in the bin.
They don't look as if there's a clue, because they are just like groups together... but who knows! Can we give it a try?

Don't AFAO newsletters generally come out on a Friday, not Tuesday?
My guess is we'll get an update then.

Here's the postcard. The picture is not crooked, that's actually how it looks on the card.

"We knew about the Chimera before they invaded America"? "Join us"?

The Chimera invade America in R2... When exactly is this taking place?!

Plus, would they have "join us" if it was ended?

Maybe the sites of PA and GAWJ weren't destroyed, but just deteriorated after years of neglect. Perhaps this gap (and the update at the terminal) signifies that much time has passed, enough time for the Chimera to have invaded. That would be at least three years (I think), after (or during) the events of R2.

I hope they're not leaving off for an R3 ARG :S

Also, I have a feeling that this was posted before, but I'm too lazy to check. If so, I agree with everything I just said wholeheartedly.

EDIT: Hehe, just read the SPRA document referenced on the postcard

I see a giant T.L. made out of the shaded out part (except they missed one key)

Yeah, I tried to find a page right after Get A War Job was burned on Friday with qweroskm,. and didn't find anything. Though I only tried a couple permutations. Gave up because so far this game hasn't worked like that - all the puzzles, with the possible exception of the Popular Technologies spread, were easily identified as puzzles.

[Seyelback]

Yeah,

..........Q W E R............ O
............ S................. K
..............................M

By the way, the things that hold the paper in place have also been moved.


I hope we have a new AFAO newspaper on Friday ( number 8 ) and then another web...

Is it common to end ARGs like this? I mean, 2 months before the product is released? In US the game is released the 4th of Nov, in UK the 21st of Nov... it seems to far away in time for me... what do you think?

I forget who said it but someone said that at the current GAWJ.com site the new machine there was a fax machine, anyone try to fax something to them, did we find any phone numbers, I was thinking the one that was on GAWJ's old business cards 866-931-9417

AFAO only "moved" to not get caught. Doesn't mean they are gone.
Maybe we have to find another site for additional updates?

Just typing out loud.
