If you read the profile info it states that it is an arg. There is a strange video with morse code, which translates to
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Thirteen

That's all i have for now. I did search but i couldn't find anything posted about this.

Thanks, I'll keep an eye on it. Something about people announcing something is an ARG just totally kills it for me though. mmph.

I remember reading about the crystal skulls years ago. In any case, they have alot to do with the Mayans if I remember correctly....which is questionable.

EDIT: oooo....culty stuff...scary....

Yeah I'll tag along for this one, remember these being on Arthur C Clark.

There's a few links on the page, but I think they are all just advertising, nothing looks of interest. The only other item of note is the skullgroup2 image, which has 12 arranged in a dodecagram with the 13th in the middle. The 12 pointed star is used a lot for wicca/ witchcraft etc. I believe.

EDIT: Also the poem on the YouTube page, the first letters read SAVE WORLD read backwards.

SPEC:

Just wild speculation here.

It could be something like the Clive Cussler book "Polar Shift".
I think there was some link to the Mayans and the crystal skulls in there. Not to mention the end of the world (a required part of any good action novel).

Sounds interesting! I'm up for it.

Here is what Violetskull says on their youtube profile:

Quote:

Do not reject us
Lust destroys you
Rest we will help
Others lost us
We are here now

Everyone needs us
Violet will help you
All should seek us
Soon!!!!!!!


By the way, did anyone notice the only subscriber Violetskull has is ovdasupay?
Maybe this is a mere coincidence or maybe there is nothing to it, but there is a character in the E.V.A. ARG with the same name. I can't help but wonder if maybe these two are the same and maybe even the possibility that he might have some involvement in this ARG...

It's just a thought...

(please feel free to trout me... i haven't really been involved with this game until now)

SPEC:

the 13 crystal skulls are contacting us now. If you watch the video in 'favorites' it talks about the possibility of the skulls holding information, like a computer chip.

this would explain why the email sent is in binary.

also, the email was sent by roseskull
the youtube user is violetskull

i would assume there are 11 other colored skulls that we will hear from.

i might just spend some time on this one this christmas break Smile

sorry, didnt sign in.

also, here is a website with the picture from the countdown page.

http://www.angelvalley.org/gathering_crystalskulls.html

about half way down there page there is the picture again with the star and all the skulls are colored. maybe that is violet in the middle? I dont know , I am a boy, it looks purple to me.

anyways, it is an interesting read and I think it relates strongly to the story of this game, as weird/crazy/cultish as it is.
