Me too. I can't even find the building the hero is leaving.
BTW. Look at 5:12 and 5:17 (YouTube) - completely different streets.

So I've been trawling the various discussion forums around the net, and from what I can tell, we're the only one around that isn't completely brain dead. Most of them are like, 'this is so dumb', and pursuing the Lost angle, saying it's all Lost. The rest of them are just downplaying the whole thing, sticking with their 'it's just a student film, stfu people'.

Anyway, I tried to see if there was a .rar file hidden in that EU_join.jpg, but there wasn't. Probably wouldn't hurt to try the other pictures, just in case. I don't see anything amiss with the picture itself, either. I tried using a Fill tool on the huge whitespace to see if there was anything hiding in it (if there's a color just a little bit offwhite, Fill tool will outline it), but no dice.

I can't imagine looking at maps of Njimegen is going to help anything. What're you trying to accomplish?

Also, I haven't pried any useful anagrams out of WASITACATISAW or TIMSMIT, either. Wasn't there another palindrome somewhere?

Like ManualDeathSum, I've played around with the UEC-image a little and came up with nothing.

There's a small circle in the gap between the whites over the right side of the star which is a little off-coloured, but I doubt it's got a meaning...

On the bigger scale, what about the logo that is displayed right above United European Corps? It's quite similar to the one above with the stars around, so why have them both on the image? If I had to create the image, I'd cancel the lower logo and place the upper logo in the middle of the big star.

Also, we see the lower logo (I'll just call it UEC-logo for simplicity) on different occasions:
- flashing in the news-video
- on the UEC-image
- on the army evacuation image
- in one of the newspaper-clips from witb

But that still leaves me clueless about how to join the UEC...

For now, imho the lose ends thaat should be followed are "saga", the UEC thing and the message from babel research when typing 59462, "... use remote any remote accesspoint." -> where could this access point be? The FTP? On witb (can't think where)? On another, still hidden domain (don't think so...)?

Just a possible thought about SAGA...

If you look in the original credits on the '2007' witb flash page (the original anti.gif shows the same credits), it says 2007 A PRODUCTIONS official series.

Perhaps the repetition of SAGA is suggesting that this ARG could be intertwined with a potential series of videos, and not just the original one video that we have seen?


I think that coincides with the allusions to the Half-Life series and Lost... those two entities are certainly sagas on a grand scale... perhaps this is similar.

About palindrome...

Remerber in whatsinthebox.nl source code :

Quote:
<some>


WASITACATISAW => WASITACATISAW
TIMSMIT => TIMSMIT
NOEVILSAGALIVEON => NOEVILSAGALIVEON

Anyone noticed that words from left and right the bold text are the same but mirrored ?

We can read the letter : C S SAGA (Counter Strike SAGA ? so Half Life ? or another trick of mind from our delightly Tim Smit)

It won't resolve the puzzle but i've thaught it was noticiable Smile

If you guys want to find out where this all takes place... find this building seen at 00:03:48, and seemingly RIGHT in the middle of the whole thing:

http://www.electrabel.nl/Thuis/Contact.aspx

Also, I'm pretty sure one of their Netherlands power plants was the surrogate for the Babel facility:

That's exactly what I was talking about in my previous post about symmetry... it seems every clue we find returns a palindrome, suggesting that what we got the clue from be mirrored or be given perfect symmetry.

Ironically enough, one of the anagrams results on NOEVILSAGASLIVEON was... (wait for it) ... ASININE VALVE LOGOS. Also, there is VALVE GAINS LOONIES. Nothing useful.

I feel violated.
