Mine still shows my correct DOB.

I'm leaning more towards planned plot device than glitch at the moment.

this is really annoying me why hasnt anyone put all the information together to rlly figure it out, (and to those who think it is gum it is probably a type of promotion where they use them to get it out while promoting them at the same time (indirectly) to keep you in the dark about the real stuff)

so far what was used for this

Morse code

interactive computer bar-codes (ICB)

Count down website (mission ice fly) MIF

testsubjectneeded website (test your senses) (TSN)

Flashing LED lights inside Packages(sometime diff colors black and silver(silver=also known as Chrome,Silver,White) (someone said b4 about smell/texture of stuff mine smelled strongly of plastic mixed with something metallic, also i noticed my flyer(black thing attachd to led) on the 1 ring above the "mission icefly" it had dots(just saw it again on the small card with the message "pulse" below the icefly on the right side looks identicle(and its seethrough and if u hold it up to a light look from the white side looks like a Z or S(the dots)(also if u look at it from the back side bottom right is a black dot(the rest looks normal but a clear black dot on the bottom right) (like a printer made a mistake) but the rest of it was perfect on the silver part, almost looks like it could be ment to look like a fresh piece of metal(just me being thorough/crazy) (with more ICB)

long warning list (TSN site) (starts big ends up small)

Magazine adds (5gum)

comic book adds (5gum)

email/phonecall (from fellhawke) I got another email from them. Subject: "The Operator"

-------Will you be ready when fate calls upon you to step up and lead the pack? Strike. Submerge. Freeze. Fly. Strike. Submerge. Freeze. Fly. This is not a test. This not the future. This is now. Countdown. Shutdown. Reboot. Mission: IceFly is defrosting.

Regards,
The Operator.) i now think they are trying to find leaders in communitys (and keep it secret) to lead us for something (big ass world wide event hopefully) which they prob cross refrenced the personality test with location and other information they could of gatherd to pick a good leader(or someone who would at least do it/try)

Phrases part of this campaign so far


"Ever feel a thousand pianos strike the same chord"
"the pulse is growing"
"Mission Icefly"
"research is vitaly needed for human kind"
"preservation project"
"we are born of darkness and silence"
"Strike. Submerge. Freeze. Fly"
"the ice is melting (or something like that)"


Options for TSN

1-begining of a piano song(repeated)- intense compasionit

2-2 pictures 1 of safari of giraffes the other aura borialis (serenity on aura side Bewilderment on Giraffe side)

3-(taste bud ignition) current state of mind -Euphoric Suspicious

4-(breathe in through your audofactory zone) identify your feelings Enthusiasim Lonlieness

5-(accesing textural sensitivity nodes) Describes your condition Anxious Inspired
then you get the imprint


anyone taken apart the LED light yet cuz it looks like its more then just a led light (someone whos good with that stuff)

also anyone have yet to take off the bubble wrap and look on the package for a message/code or something?

@omomnomgum AUDO FILE--(page 23)(might be morase code or something) if you slow it down extremly it almost sounds like someone tapping on metal rapidly)

(just to toss this out there the "5gum thing on facebook had a guy picking up a phone)

also @1981 the guy who said "sold cubs share" id bet alot of money the next clue (when the eyris opens) at the same time at 2pm (for me) on the 30th will be a simaliar event at the Chicago cubs statdium (POSSIBLY) if its something more then just a regular campain (ilovebees PART 2)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1981 ronald regan was shot in the chest =O

thats everything i went over (frgt to add the "orange white and blue" leds and a few have diffrent timings (rlly rlly rare)

overall for the chrome(silver/chrome/(some ppl call it white) package team will prob have a diffrent set of goals from black package team (or its a "you get this but only black or chrome gets in"hope this isnt the case) What im hoping most is Black Vrs Chrome (the wining team gets 10-50% of their team chosen (possibly depending on what it is (thinking of the 5gum videos (guy posted about this earlier)) about some of the videos having wordings which sounded like they have a test facility (kinda like a Charlie and the Chocolate factory GUM style 2.0 real world style))


also Blue White Orange lights = BWO BOW WOB WBO OBW
Project icefly = PIF FIP IFP or IF FI
testsubjectsneeded = TSN NST STN NTS
black/chrome packages = B (C or S for silver)
T S N F I P (p may not be part of it) B W O
could be something -shrug-

We are both creatures of the senses
you and i - we inhabit the same reality (<---hints at something)
shimmering just below the perceivable world (<---sounds like artists when they see more then what we can see)
THE PULSE IS GROWING-CAN YOU FEEL IT- (when you listen to techno you can feel your blood move or just a sensation run through your body sometimes maybe it has something to do with the mission icefly site)

1 last thing someone said about the batterys, have you tried putting the correct batteries in? or something along those lines

Mission imposible 4 anyone?????

thats all i could find ADD TO IT plz~~~ and figure this out fast =o

What do you mean about Cubs Stadium? Don't tell me I have to go to Wrigley Field. If I have to, screw it, I'm wearing my White Sox gear.

There's nothing to figure out yet. At least, there is nothing to interact with. No physical place to solve a puzzle. Nothing. We wait until the countdown ends, except for fellhawke who's getting the 'blue' treatment.

lol it wouldn't suprise me, if i was rich id go everywhere possible to check (love these things) hell id even walk there

maybe these could be tools for the puzzle to come? (im hoping)

dunno if this is anything but i held the led light between my thumb and point finger on the sides while it was flashing and it felt like a current of electricity or vibration almost comming from it o.o (when u hold the side top and bottom screw in part at the same time)

So The post by beezlbub got my brain moving agian.. thanks.
I had a thought. The Icefly moves in predetermined patterns. Has anyone tried tracking these movements to see if they possibly spell out a word, or symbol or something?
It might be a long shot, but hey, we have 7 days left.. might as well consume some time right. Will tracing paper prevent your computer screen from getting damaged?

Yes, but if it's a LCD, be careful. If you have a CRT, try a dry erase marker. I'll try the same thing as well.

Edit: I just took my dry eraseboard and marked down some of the plots lit was following. I can't see anything offhand, but let my know it you do. The circles are where the fly started the angles from. Mostly 2s a few 3s and a couple 4s. The circled numbers are the order the rows went in.

Haven't logged in lately but can't help with the birthyear issue; 1981 IS my birthyear. Lol. (MY evil plan is working, muahahah!) My package hasn't arrive yet either.

I thought the icefly patterns seemed not entirely random, seems worth playing around with those tracings.
Can't do it on the road though.
Hopefully will have more to add once I'm back at home.

Okay, so, I've noticed that the people who have the 1981 problem seem to all have received silver packages, including me.

Can anyone with a black package refute this?

I personally think it's a glitch but if it was only people with silver packages that would be strangely coincidental

Hi guys!

Just wanted to tell you all that I think the strangest thing that ever happened in a viral campaign has just occurred to me.

They mailed the package to Hungary!

Never expected that...

I wish I could, but I have a black package, and my birth date is still correct.
