 		[in]Visible Belfast
new ARG based in belfast
Apologies if this is in the completely wrong section but I am new to these boards.just thought I'd share information on a new arg due to start on the 12th.:

"while searching the stacks in the Linen Hall Library, a shy astronomy student stumbles upon a book filled with cryptic clues. Inside, she finds a note addressing her by name.

Dear Ana, it reads, in the pleiad, find the multitude;
in the city, the universe. And at the heart of the city
you will find a way out.
Good luck to you.

Hoping the note has some connection with her father's recent suicide, Ana takes the book home to study more closely. Thus begins her journey into the depths of the infernal labyrinth of Belfast.

In May, you may join Ana's mystery, an experience orchestrated by an anonymous author, that will take you on a circuitous path, through spaces, virtual and real. You too may discover what lies at the heart of the city.

Register your details below and await your signal on 12th May, 12:00pm GMT.

Good luck to you."

It's most likely not from the same group.
The Design Zoo, which hosted Black Helix had all of their pages on their own servers. This site is hosted on a different server by another provider :
Code:
   
   Domain Name: INVISIBLEBELFAST.COM
   Registrar: WEBFUSION LTD.
   Whois Server: whois.123-reg.co.uk
   Referral URL: http://www.123-reg.co.uk
   Name Server: NS0.EIGENHOST.NET
   Name Server: NS1.EIGENHOST.NET
   Status: ok
   Updated Date: 01-apr-2011
   Creation Date: 01-mar-2011
   Expiration Date: 01-mar-2012


On topic :

Found this in page page sourcecode when looking at the search engine keywords :

So it looks like we might need people who are located around Belfast again.

 		Gah... this is too curious!

I swore off ARGs set outside the country, especially after how anticlimactic Black Helix ended, but...

Fine! I'm in! Here we go again...

 		Minz did you mean:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
To help Ana to solve her mystery you should attend the Water Clock play at the QFT belfast, she will be there to watch the clues unfold.

The Water Clock appears to be part of the game not just a time when they are there: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/studio-ni/message/7148


It cut off at the To for me too.

 		Vetis, yes thats what I meant to post.
Somehow the forums dont seem to like html tags very much xD

As to when Ana might show up at the QFT :

My guess is that the game will start there at the end of the countdown on their site.
Currently it's at :
Code:
15:9:45:48
(D:H:m:s)

 		The homepage has been updated, but it's just more buildup. Typo in the first paragraph, cute.

 		this week
hey soz i kind of went awol for a bit there. its really kicking off already, wondered if anyone else has found a spot where we are gathering information?
I have have already solved the first clue on the website, eventhough the clue hasn't been released yet... purely by chance i have to add!

if you want it, it's in response to the "i know the answer button" on the www.invisiblebelfast.com website:

the next clue is as follows:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
In Belfast, there are shifting parallel realities. Everyone, to avoid offense or injury, must learn to jump between dimensions. Learn to inhabit layers of the material, geographic, and visceral.

Belfast isn't like Beirut, although you've never been there. It's what it is: Agendas, bricks and mortar, interfaces. Others in the structure like you. Veritas.

Look harder. There are layers beneath layers; memories and identities are inscribed on the walls of the maze.

 		map
@tasder in twitter got the following message from @visiblebelfast:

Quote:
@tasder every presence has a shadow, every movement leaves a trace. There is a map of the city which shows the bridge that was never built.


having done a bit of research there was two options the Northern ireland to Scotland high speed train planned or more likely the M4 that was designed in the 60's. The bridge would have gone over the Lagan which ties in with the story and after looking closely ties in with the background of the website and the clear map thing Ana got in the post:
