The Facility Unlock Pattern
A observation of the series of facilities and projected dates...

So the first facility unlocked July 15
The next unlock is August 15

So we unlock a facility each month on the 15th
I am not sure how many facilities there are (was mentioned before because someone was messing around with the Http address) but if we follow this and there is a facility for each gum type that means there is a total of ELEVEN facilties

Following this we reach a projected END DATE of: May 15 < this is the unlock of the final facility

Of course they may not follow this pattern and I expect the actual end date to be farther ahead than May 15 because we will probably resolve it in a Real Life Event.

But I believe we can expect this ARG to last at least nine more months

That'd be great for me, a long game is like a thick book.
I heard theories that a lot of people were confident that there were eight.

As long as the story stays interesting and possibly give more and more cities a chance at a live drop I say huzzah. I may disagree with some of the methods of dropping breadcrumbs (looking at you Facebook announcements) but I'll see it through to the end.

For a advertisement for gum, its not too bad of a game. I hate the stupid music bounce game though.

Just something I thought of, if they do intend to release a facility every month on the 15th and end in may...that will be 5/15, and with it being 5 gum that seems more than coincidental. And if it will be that reliable, I like the idea because that mean we won't have a three month break from action *cough* Flynn Lives *cough*.

P.S. if you are reading this 42E, I loved Flynn Lives, just didn't love the long dead portions.

This of course makes a possibly false assumption of a few things IE 1 facility per month and that the initially discovered number of 8 facilities stays accurate and each facility pertains to a virtual level.

In other words, fun to speculate but we have zero way of knowing this is how things are planned.

That would be a logical guess and no one knows for sure but at the beginning when the site first came online we changed the filename of the "Facility 01" log file image and were able to find images for all facilities up to level 8 so that is why people are assuming 8 facilities.

Are those images still available?

Change the facility number at the end of this line to get the others - http://www.survivalcode.com/images/Profile/facility08.jpg

Neat! If you don't mind me asking, how did they fish that out?

If you look at the file properties of the image in your profile you can find the filename and then just keep changing the number at the end to see how high they go.
