just an idea:
is it possible that the bar code found on the army evac image be a cipher (code) or possibly the key to a substitution cipher

it might go with one of the palindromes
anyone looked into this? Question

What about the letters that were covered by the red question marks from the first whatsinthebox site? Did anyone ever get anywhere with those and what they said? Seems to be jibberish to me, but maybe if you apply the "take this # letter" from the barcode you'd get something...?

I was re-seeing the material so far, and from the "odd" things I saw that in the "anti" image there are 3 types of typing. In other post if I recall they say that were 2 types of writings with some letters. Diggin' a bit I founded 3 types of writings AND a bit more of letters that the previous post said. Of course, the third type of writing is barely legible and the other letters that weren't saw are between the drawings, so....


Anyway, I'll try to filter some and IF I can get a clear view of most of the text I'll post a picture (unless someone else post it before).


See ya!!

If you google with text from anti.gif you'll get to article in NATURE magazine. Text is from there, but numbers (percents) that are red on the picture are changed.

I've seen it before in this thread, but we never found any significance..
It looks like a tombstone imo..

Maybe it never was an ARG at all. Maybe it was just a site with a bunch of neat little easter eggs in it. After all, who promotes an unfinished ARG?

dicks, and myself, namely because i AM a dick.
however, this isn't the point. the fact that it's so virally done with this much cryptic crap would NEVER mean it's not an ARG. this is an ARG in the context that it describes an alternate reality, and it constantly presumes this existance. it's constantly updated, regardless of how small the update are. there just needs to be a push to help us out D:
