I don't think it's 42e, this arg lacks some basic needs, like more clues, and it's the first I know of that seperates players.

It's on 42e servers.
It has similar design styles.
Similar site functionality.

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...
Holy mother of ARGs. You got one that far out, and I thought the west Europe packages were shocking.

Also, I'll log in shortly. If Chrome packages are having birth year errors, I should have one as well.

Edit: Confirmed. My Birth year is set to 1981 as well. Pretty odd. Let me cross reference a few things...

"Wrigley" "1981"

Almost every National League card in the Donruss 1981 set used a picture taken at Wrigley Field. This was one of the last of many generous moves by the Wrigley ownership. Remember, though, the team was sold during the 1981 season to the Tribune Company.

That's the most I can really find on Wrigley AND 1981. Chance of the Wrigley Field doing something with this is moderate.

At the field, the Cubs will be having a Home game so the possibility of something happening with them is possible. With a 1:20 PM start time, after an inning or two, something may happen. I MIGHT venture into the area to be on the safe side.


I am in Australia... not yet received my package, and I noticed the other day that my birth year was wrong (1981 instead of um older) and unchangeable)

If this plays out as-is, expect a chrome. Let's use you as a bit of a control.

Apparently I didn't enter in my phone number when it came to playing this, just entered it now, so it's all good. I got a black package and my birth year and date ect is still the same 1988. It is correct... Soooo? I don't know.

the Flight patterns of the Fly on the website seem to be selected to optimize movement away from the mouse cursor. To map it out properly, I suspect you'd need to travel your mouse cursor over the path it takes each time, so as to get a picture out of it.

However, when I did that, there's a position area (slightly above two of the antennae that come out of the top of the body of the "timer device") where the fly's path takes it back too close to the mouse cursor, and it continues to keep zipping around for a little bit.

I don't know if it's the path that's important though, but I noted that Morse code has been used in this ARG already. Maybe the fact that it seems to switch from 2 flyaways, to sometimes 3, might be a Morse code pattern?

The sound of the 3rd movement is distinctive.

Oh, and apparently I've got most of you beat (unfortunately Wink ) I was born in 1971.

well just to toss this out there 1 of the earlier messages with the scanner code or mores code was "test" or something along those lines, maybe they are trying to test to see how a world wide campaign can go and wrigly is sponsoring them to get a ton of publicity out of it? (which would mean wrigly field will be giving out alot of stuff on the 30th or something will happen there)


o and i just noticed something, video the fly (hitting it as fast as u can to make it move consonantly) for a good 2-4 minutes then each line it makes (i think some of u are right about mores code cuz 1 or 2 times it moves short to make a .) go go go =D

Just gonna throw a little something strange out here, though it has plenty of reason to be ignored, as there is no definite evidence it's related.

I woke up this morning to find a missed call and voicemail from a 916 area code number. I live in this area, so it's not that suspicious to me, but I thought it might be ARG anyway for some reason. Listening to the voicemail, the message had been prerecorded and mostly cut off, but I could just catch a bit of the last word before hanging up. After several listenings, I figured it sounded most like "focus".

I haven't called the number back yet, and I feel I shouldn't disclose the number both just in case it is and just in case it isn't related. Again, no concrete evidence to suggest a connection, but I thought I'd just put it out there.

It's late and I don't feel like logging in, but I never received an e-mail from this 'fellhawke' which I don't even know is confirmed (could you guys point me to that if it is). I didn't put my phone number in which is why I didn't get the phone call (changed that just now). Did every one who got the e-mail have their phone number listed as well?

Hey all, felt the need to chime in. I received my chrome package on the 18th, but my DOB, 1992, and contact info is still in-tact.
Excited for what's to come in this mysterious game Smile

fellhawke is a user here. He probably doesn't feel welcome anymore because everyone is jealous or suspicious of him. Anyway, he'll be getting another call or email today. If he's up to it, he could fill us in on anything he's allowed to pass by us...

I'm in the uk here...
I just got my envelope (i'm on team silver). Same contents as everyone else... Note and helicopter with led.

I'm only on page 29 so bear with me but... are a lot of people getting calls and emails?
Also are we just waiting for the countdown to be over now (about 6 days to go...)?

This is my first arg (i actually signed up to unfiction like 5 minutes ago) so if i'm asking something obvious and stupid feel free to correct me. Very Happy
