Jiroe...
It was around 8:45 pm, Pacific time.

The naming of those .GIFs is bugging me, though.
Here's a dump of their names, in order:
Code:
282 9 80 15 203 265 181 112 73 264 212 165 1 194 100 89 222 132 264 66 277 58 101 200 160 160 159 73 178 22 81 217 145 38 152 33 51 103 51 142 218 188 190 193 57 79 250 85 73 228 104 99 264 241 103 185 129 9 93 104 5 120 296 11 223 222 285 217 190 86 93 277 218 276 61 19

That hasn't changed since last time I looked.
They're not Octal and they don't represent IP nodes as the numbers are too large. (Well, I guess they COULD be Octal versions of EXTENDED ASCII values).
There are several dupes and in one case, the dupes are consecutive (160)

Also... The list is now back to the exact same as I saw it last night, which was on another machine and using a different ISP.

Hmm...

I wonder if those numbers are the number of times a particular location has hit the site? But I don't know if that's right because still, Chicago isn't showing up. If that theory was right, there should be one there.

Also, the dot's show up as sXX.gif, like s100.gif. I also noticed that the secure login area is named S53:A. My first thought was that if there's an S53 dot, it might match a place, but there's no 53 on your list.

EDIT: Removed duplicate info.

Also, I noticed that the hidden string always begins with ES-12.

You're not the only one, I only understand the dot/location thing. I mainly follow ARGs now to just be a part of the experience, watching things as they unfold, as I don't understand code breaking and the like.

And if things get too tech-y and I get bored, I don't have to wait long for a new ARG rumor to emerge to pay attention to.

So hang in there.

I'm in the midwest too....surely all of the midwest people deserve at least one dot.

EDIT: And forgive me if someone has already said this above, but as i don't understand techno-language either, i may have missed this...but when i went to the deployment log page, three of the logs were a shade different color than the other logs.

Well guys.. I can safely say those dots in deployment tracker aren't changing. At least not in the past day.

I took an image using Print Screen last night and comparing it to right now..., theres been no change in the dot array.

So.. yeah.

It's certainly possible that the dots on the map are tracks of IP addresses, but if so, some of them are coming from odd places.

One is in the northern region of the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia well away from any major cities, one appears to be in Northern Peru, and one appears to be located in the area of Lubumbashi, at the southern end of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Africa. And those are just a few examples of the stranger locations on the map.

Eon8 seems to have a wide reach.

I got the plaintext for all the MD5 hashes I pulled off the tracker page, last night. It's just a series of sequentially numbered date entries:

Dang, good job on that. Did you just brute force different strings to find them?

And what about the hidden strings on the home page? I don't know if those were mixed in with the Deployment Logs or not, but I didn't see them among your list. Here's a sample:

Code:

And here I thought I was the only game voyeur. Wink

I like to watch. Sometimes I add comments. Sometimes, just sometimes, it's something relevant.

No, I'm not that good. I was going to start doing the whole Rainbow tables creation thing and then found this:

We might be getting somewhere now. I visited again and got a new rotation of hidden codes. Here's the MD5 hashes and what they decode to. We might be able to find a message now.

Code:
800618943025315F869E4E1F09471012 - F

The hidden hex on the main page today reads (with MD5 value):

Code:
F186217753C37B9B9F958D906208506E - O
5206560A306A2E085A437FD258EB57CE - V

A5F3C6A11B03839D46AF9FB43C97C188 - K
D20CAEC3B48A1EEF164CB4CA81BA2587 - L


Can't see how that is useful, but who knows.

Edit: It appears to change each time I refresh the page.

Here's the decrypted set from Rowan's post.

Code:
D3D9446802A44259755D38E6D163E820 - 10
AAB3238922BCC25A6F606EB525FFDC56 - 14

D3D9446802A44259755D38E6D163E820 - 10


Work calls at the moment. I'll check back in a bit.

EDIT: I refreshed a few times to see if a pattern would emerge. Maybe someone else can make sense of it? Or maybe it's just gibberish.

EDIT 2: Chicago finally got a dot.

Michigan has a few dots now, looks like we Michiganders have finally been noticed.
