[Creative101] Freeweb rabbithole ARGN was sent an email with the following address saying that it's an ARG that's recently started:
http://www.freewebs.com/creative101/
A hidden link goes on a couple pages, where I stopped. Anyone want to delve further?

102.HTML
thankfully some information has been uncovered. thankfully. thank you.
clues reside. CREATIVE has yet to be solved. there is significance to this picture, which has yet to be revealed. gateway. 105.
'THIS' is a link. that page - 1102.html - has a picture and then 9/1/04 C.H.E.C.K maybe nothing will be revealed until September 1?
but then: 105.html:
What is my name? Contact CradCradSPLAT consultant.com with your answer

Looks interesting...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I sent an answer to the address but got a undeliverable bounce back. Can anybody see the text above the tunnel in the 105 pic? looks like catoctin, which is a national park apparently but no mention of a gateway 105 there that I could find...

Any chance this is Orbital Colony? Freewebs does fit their budget.

Well, someone is forking out for orbitalcolony.com and its hosting.
I'm wary as to whether this is OC, as freeweb doesn't seem like exactly the best way to launch an ARG especially with one that had such an interesting start through eBay.

I found that picture (I orig. thought the name had been PS into it)
http://www.trainweb.org/oldmainline/omltun.htm
Its the west end of the Catoctin tunnel.

What answers has anyone tried?
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I sent the name Catocin, and I have yet to get that undeliverable message - that was about a day ago. Perhaps I got it right?
By the way, any idea what the binary might mean, as well as the strange symbol?
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The binary is just sequential numbers, but as to it's purpose...meh. Also, the symbol looks like an eye, looking at the numbers. But perhaps I'm just imagining things.

I sent the same answer, and I did get the undeliverable message... (it took a while though) so maybe you just have a lazy postmaster for your email proggy...

Hmmm...so that's not it. Has anyone tried
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11.12.13.14.15.16? That is what the binary translates into. It's hardly a name, but at least it's another guess.
I suppose the more rational solution would be that we simply can't move forward for now; but that doesn't seem right - why else would they send us the link if we can't really do anything?

I tried the name on the tunnel too but got no bounce when i sent it today (yet anyways). I also sent the name of the contact for the whois lookup on the domain. Yes, I know it's just a subdomain, but the state was the same as where the real tunnel is located I think. We'll see... Sort of a weird question to ask since there hasn't been any real references to the name yet, just some hidden links and a innoculous pic. Maybe someone needs to go check the tunnel today for the next piece? Since the date was given and no obvious updates have been made giving out new clues or info, I am starting to wonder what the C.H.E.C.K. means beside the pic with the date there. Anyone in the area there?

Hi Guys,
I am relatively new to ARG but I am catching on.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
There is something going on at 1102.html with the tunnel
After a few seconds, the graphic fades and there is a link revealed on the right hand side of the tunnel. Linking us to

It is not everyday that someone goes as mad as me. I am one of the few, one of the only. In a quest for superior intellegence, superior strategy, superior will, one can not stay sane for long. This is why you are here. It is only through this, the portals I leave you, can you find me, thus stop me? Let's think of it as a game, or maybe a test. We can try that later now can't we.
game and test both come up as "not found" ... at the moment

What happened? Kind of a cool little trail so far, but does anyone know what happened to it?
As far as I can see there has been no updates to it for quite some time.
Has it been PM abandoned?
