It can't have been going for more than a day, so I'll be surprised if that takes six days to fully reveal.

This is a screenshot of the "whoaa, thats new" information:
(Looking at the page, it appears to ask for an update and on the basis of that response loads up the image every minute - so I think it may well change from hour to hour, if not from day to day) I'll attach another screenshot if I notice it change

I never would have noticed that if you hadn't said to look for it -- it's "below the fold" on my standard browser window. (I run at 1280x800 screen resolution)

hehe I love how so many of us ARGers missed a simple thing as an enormous scrollable region on the main page of viral countdown. Laughing

Actually I had noticed the extra page length, but there was most definitely nothing there earlier. I figured it wouldn't be used until the countdown was done, since upon checking the source earlier there wasn't content hidden in the extra space - at least not HTML content. That are below is Flash, part of the same object as above. I also notice that about every minute it's loading a new image, incremented a number up. As of now it's on 909.

ooo, they's getting good in their hax0r-blocking.

technical/exploratory-hacking info below (no spoilers discovered, only impressive security =)
the flash makes a request which prepares the currently visible message image for download, then follows with a request to retrieve that image, at which time that specific image request becomes invalid. So you can't spoof the request to get an image that's not ready yet, you can only get the 'current' (based on server time) image, after requestng it in the same immediate session, once per request.
Cool

It says something about Tron's pull that it can make me watch a bunch of text slowly reveal for FIVE BLOODY HOURS. Wink

I think I've figured it out! IT'S A LIST OF CITIES AND LOCATIONS FOR A POSSIBLE SCAVENGER HUNT!!!! Hint: Look where it says "N Yo". I think it's supposed to say "NEW YORK"!!!

It's interesting watching how the letters unjumble themselves. Even money says that it ends with "END OF LINE" being Tron and all.

Hum... it almost looks like the MCP is pulling itself back together...

Either it's a list of cities for something or directions to a location!

That's not a bad theory - I guess the letters after that might spell out Chicago?

Yup, just spotted it. You're probably right about that. Wonder what'll be happening at these locations?

I'm not convinced it's locations. I'm leaning more towards a message.
