I have never been as excited to see a game as this one. I have not received any of the emails but I am following Hayward on twitter. I will try my best to help out whenever I can, but I have family in town this week so my participation will be limited.
If you must know why I am excited click my sig. but there are some spoilers so don't do it unless you really must know. And for the record I know nothing more about this game than anyone else that reads this forum.

I'll be following this ARG. I don't have anything to add yet other than agreeing with CarnageBlack about the "2nd Degree across 10 percent" referring to burns.

That's what made me think it was TDKR related. Then again I've read a few too many comic books.

This sort of thing wishes I joined here MONTHS ago. This seems pretty cool, TDKR related or not.

I don't know if this is the right place to put it, but I searched for Bruce and Mysteriou because I got a strange email from Bruce Mysteriou (mysterioubSPLAT yahoo.com)

Also, there is some binary being released on the Hayward Twitter due to the "computational purge". It translates to:

New tweet Vaguely following this, and just noticed a new tweet posted about 10.07 GMT (20 minutes ago):
Quote:
Wmawyzeti fybju utumjermvesu. Wmawyzeti eu zyt beci su. Fi mzuqivu qetfyst tfezcezg. Her bike was blue-green. She loved it.
Not ROTted. Basic substitution probably, two words are the same.

Right on the substitution, has errors or is it me?

holds stradivarius ? Because the "a" is used only in Daydonite it could also be Daxdonite or another variation, and with other errors also Daytonite or something else.

That would make sense Cyng.
Theres a couple more cryptic Tweets. I kinda feel like we are just being fed information at this point, but we don't really know what to do with it...
There was a binary code on which is now gone, but I got this letter jumble one before they deleted them:

Hi all. Since this wa a "system purge" maybe the 2nd binary is incomplete, missing the last four bits. In which case:
