The Alice tweet is about 2 days behind. http://www.alertvulcan.com/widget.php?user_id=6JCS1 has been transmitted in mass for two days now.

new tweet from @aliceforrest700;

"Hitching has solution here http://bit.ly/UsYE6. Everyone make a signal and send to increase signal to Vulcan. Increase views for reward"

- i guess this refers to the last post on that page, and suggests we need more people (with new email addresses!) to enter the correct answers on alertvulcan.com to amplify the transmission, rather than focus on the existing ones.

- and with disclosure: this video below was generated by myself. i believe it was the first video created from the correct answers;
http://www.alertvulcan.com/widget.php?user_id=XDJ4@


Okay, so I did one with the correct information. Am I now supposed to get people to click it?

Did anyone watch FRINGE tonight? There was a guy on it, talking about how there are "Romulans" "from the future" on earth, trying to change the timeline. Normally, I'd think it was just a geek reference, but since FRINGE is part of the JJ Abrams family, and I've been following this ARG off-and-on, it struck me as suspicious.

That's interesting!
Was it as a joke in the Fringe or something like alternat reality hint? (Like Oceanic Air tickets?)

Okay, so i managed to get one:
http://www.alertvulcan.com/widget.php?user_id=62NIL

But it does not appear on alertvulcan.
Does that mean it has not been played enough to get any amplification or does it not show up because it was my 5751687th attempt to get one with the same mail adress?

They show only the top 10 on the website. I also think, that they only show the ranking in the graph.

transmissions

Seems strange that they'd do something that requires a hit threshold.
Or that'd they'd do something that requires a user limit to be reached.

Is there any way of finding out the limits we need to reach?
Star Trek goes on gen. release over here (ireland) tomorrow, should we be nearing an end yet?

Really this seems like less of a puzzle and more of a pain. I have to say since the johnbayer.eu puzzle change I've been loosing my grá for this game.

p.s. did anyone actually figure out that grid in the end?

Days and weeks of intrigue for this?

Real letdown.

I really thought maybe there would be something great at the end of this.

7pm tomorrow "The wait is over!" I am extremely excited to finally see the movie.

The ARG did nothing to add or take away from my anticipation. Just alot of wasted time by alot of good people.

It was nice to have interacted with you all.

Ditto! That was the only interesting part of this as I look back, and it wasn't designed by the PMs!!!

Paramount should REALLY hand someone their hat, and their pink slip for this ARG. Honestly, when your whole ARG is based around a teenage-girl-poaching statutory sleaze party photographer.... what do you expect.

Some elements of the ARG have been A+ work, but it needed a lot more work. Only the A40 Curbridge site struck me as delicious. And what the hell was the point ever of the City Hall sites? Just to identify the cities Romulans were hiding in? Those didn't really even come into play, per se. I'd love to know what the hell they were intending...

Plus, who the goofball is that used Johann C. Bayer, and John Flamsteed pictures thinking they were Johann NMI Bayer... and why they didn't use an image of the ORIGINAL printing of Bayer's URANOMETRIA. And why they didn't stick with V instead of U. And so on.

I'll give you a hit. Someone from here might as well win WHATEVER the reward is.

So lame.

There has been a few tweets lately all stating the same thing we already knew, if you want to get any thanks you have to get as many views on your ID as possible. Whether that means being no.1 on the meter, or not even on it I have no idea.

I must apologise to the people I asked to promote the 6JSC1 video, I had no idea they turned this into a popularity contest. I believed (stupidly) that we just had to get it to the top of the meter to get to the next stage of the ARG.

So if you did click or promote the video I linked, I apologise for making everyone assume this was what we was suppose to do. In actual fact we have probably, by doing this, spent more time promoting that video than our own and as such will not get any thanks or reward for the time we have spent on this ARG.

Sorry.

Not your fault buddy. We all did what we thought needed done. The PM's should be sorry for such a HUGE letdown. I'm beginning to wonder if anyone even had a plan on how to end this game. This is like the cage. They are just watching us jump through hoops just to see how dumb we really are.
