Misunderstanding. PMs aren't allowed to post on UF or use UF info against the player base, as UF is out of game. They can do whatever they want anyplace else, we aren't the ARG Police. It's really distasteful and frowned upon generally by the comunity to get KL00s/hints from PMs in an OUT OF GAME WAY - such as thru twitter or personal blogs - {aside from a game breaker such as "yes, that place 2 hours away you plan on driving to is correct" or "shit, that screen is INDEED supposed to be playing a KL00 for you, something must be borked - sorry you sat there for three hours" type stuff} but again, not the ARG Police, they do what they want.

No wonder they sometimes get a little surly.

Yes, true. And I suppose, <meta>Star Trek PMs are professionally enough to avoid such hints. The only one time I - perhaps - got a hint was an anonymous comment to my blog with news footage (German version) in the times of Cloverfield ARG. But perhaps it was a player.

Another thing is surely @bevbrecher and @aliceforrest700 while of Star Trek ARGs - they were kinda "mentors" or random followers, who were actually something between meta-reality and alternate-world. They were actually the hint givers (perhaps to assist chaotic player folk and to lead them across the full ARG schedule, hehe). So perhaps we just have to get closer view to our recent new twitter and facebook followers and contacts. Again, it was only Star Trek ARG #1, so perhaps this time they will do something fully different </meta>

And since "Digital Mitosis" seems to be out of game, thank you tehJTK for asking Bob, let just forget it.

sidenote: If anyone would like to help fill out the Star Trek wiki, I'm not sure how complete the coverage of the previous ARG is. I've cleaned up the current pages a bit to help categorize them, but this is the full list of pages (not that many).
Just getting it prepped for this one. The home page has been updated, but the areyouthe1701.com page has no archived content yet, nor does the timeline (which really should just include the discovery of the site Razz)

Don't forget last ST ARG there were emails sent to only a couple of people with clues in them. The news quickly spread but it was to just a privileged few.

Also, for anyone having problems with IRC, I've set up Mibbit for web-based chat at http://startrek.wikibruce.com/Chat
Hopefully that works for people if not using mIRC!

Thank you thebruce! I'll check out the wiki whether we need some updates. And also thanx for setting up the wiki.

@LtPiper
True! We should also watch out for strange emails right now.

Man this wait is killing me! I've shelled out the big bucks to see the 9 minute preview and seen 3 other movies over the holidays. All of which had the trailer in front of them. I know this might be a bit off base and I know the PM's will "tell us when we begin" but if i remember correctly, the ARG for super 8 started out of some random comments about the train crashing and Josh Minkers craigslist. Do you guys think there is any chance that we need to be looking elsewhere for clues?

Any ideas on what to search for? "John Harrison" is such a common name. Maybe just "are you the 1701?" On reddit? Or wherever...

Rather difficult to do I know, but I think we need to wait. After registration the site says "Thank you, we will tell you when the search begins." Seems pretty conclusive to me. Also, I doubt the PMs would go live during the Christmas octave (in case there were any technical issues.)

I'm going with the theory that others on this forum have stated - in that there will be an update on the 17th January (1701) Although you beautiful Americanians do prefer your Month first and your Day second (which therefore would make it 0117)

Then again, doesn't Benedict Cumberbatch's character in the movie have a British accent? "Shall we begin?" sounds like something he would say. Maybe this ARG will be about his character's background/development??

or they could be waiting until the trailer with the hidden URL comes out in all other countries so they can register and partake.. last ST arg had worldwide locations and required people in those countries physical involvement..

Then theres the registration thing.. Like Poppeteers, they had to sort thru all the replies and print up and send back those certificates.. Many possibilities but it all adds up to ..
hurry up and wait!!!!

The trailer is out in all countries by now. I saw it in Lima last week just before of the Hobbit (I think that indicates most of the big countries participating had already their trailers, and also: internet...). I think it might just be a waiting game until the 17th.

@jumbotron: Yup. 17-01 is more understandable than 01-17

God, I hope so. John Harrison seems like a absolutely delicious character ( not to mention, so is the guy playing him Twisted Evil ). The character has been kept so secret, that introducing his backstory through an arg is something that JJ would do..
