via Nicolas Bulchak over at ATS, follow these instructions to get the wave unit. Looks like there's a meter showing how close to 1k units they're getting...?

Am I flipping my lid here, or can you get ANOTHER Wave Unit just by refreshing the page and sending more pomegranates through Key 16?

Not sure, but even if it's linked to cookies, you can almost definitely do it once per browser.

I don't think it would work like that or everyone would be F5'in like mad. I mean sure you can see the video, but i doubt it would count to the 1000, right?

Fresh info:
You can get as many wave units as you want, and each of them will "up" the counter by one. But from either different proxies/browsers/ip's/anything.

Yep, confirming what jocaypa said, the relevant call is to an /add-to-counter.php function that happens just as the dial is being tuned to display the progress. When I went through a minute or two ago, we were at count=191.

EDIT: and we're now up to 197.

Please put your spoiler information in to spoiler tags, thanks Smile

Some of us don't want to know what this is about until the reveal of 1000.

I guess i'll do one for each browser I have then. Also, Share this on your relevant Social Networks Wink

iRobotZombie: you can keep using your regular browser of choice as long as you refresh the page each time and redo the trigger phrase that launches the wave unit delivery video. I actually had multiple tabs open for a while, so I could cut back on the wait time between beginning and ending animations.

EDIT: current count is at 257.

I'm totally digging the style and design but I'm having too many issues with the interface. My message being automatically sent before my message is finished, miscounts on my clicks and a series of other frustrating problems. It's not my connection speed...am I seriously the only one with this issue?

Somehow we're back at the beginning. It doesn't seems to be key 16 anymore, since when we ask who are you, it's back at a revolutionary.
Also, unlike when you're in key 16, the guy answers the menu option

Anyone thinking this may be Bioshock, you have good reason to think so.

However, I will say most major marketing ARGs are often very streamlined to maximize exposure to a larger market, so I'm doubting the theory, regardless ,this is just the beginning of what's looking to be possibly the years best ARG.

Happy Illumination Night! Vive la revolution!

1K limit has been breached, so anyone who goes through now gets to proceed directly to the big reveal.

I'll be honest, does anyone feel like a lot more effort was put into the small ARG campaign rather than the animated short they just saw. I'm slightly disappointed after an ARG Trailhead with such production values...
