Wait, hold on a second. Hackers, connection to nuclear testing/Trinity site, an agency that shouldn't exist, conspiracy, hidden headquarters?

Anybody else getting Visce vibes?

I hope this isnt another dues city thing like tcosta ended up as, or part of visce, This would make a great ARG, and im not very much into dues city or visce

[someguy99]

I agree

I don't really know about Deus City or Visce, but hope that this is a separate thing, because I want to get in on the ground level of a new ARG.

So, I'm kinda putting things into order for myself, as far as plot goes:

*Set in a dystopic future (2021? I'm assuming this because of the screen name hacksaw2021) in which some sort of worldwide government has built a supercomputer which houses a "library of secrets" has gained self-awareness.

*A group of 14 hackers broke into the system, and since then been killed off, one by one, with only one remaining. (Although their cause of deaths seem to vary, i.e. car crash, drug overdose.)

*The government is now pissed.

But other than that, I've heard people noting the video as high quality, but has anyone else noticed how cheesy the SWAT-like soldiers seem? Their guns have shiny lights on them.

...and she keeps changing her location. When I checked it was Afghanistan.

I'm kind of with Esteed on this one...Trinity test site, hackers, middle east, bases....I got the Visce vibe too. But still....

I would love it if it was tied in with the Visce site, but I have a feeling it isn't. I was having a good time with that one when it all just seemed to fizzle out.

The underground facility looks very much like a particle accelerator I've seen somewhere under Texas.

Hi All,

Being a noob at ARG's I was wondering if those of you with more experience at this could tell me if this is the normal way an ARG works?

It is over 2 weeks since the initial Hacksaw clip was posted on YouTube.com and we know that Hacksaw checked her account around 3 days ago, yet nothing seems to be changing from her end.

Is it usual for long periods of time to pass without something changing / being added?

Could this long pause mean that we have already been given all the information that we need to go to the next level but we just need to find it? Or do we just wait for the PM's to give us additional clues?

On another note, does anyone know how to read barcodes? Could the barcode at the beginning and end of the clip mean something?

Thanks for you patience.

We've already tried the barcode but came up with nothing so far. In addition, I was also wondering if this kind of waiting period was common with ARG's (since this is my first after ILB and my first on this site).

I keep thinking that maybe we missed something that was supposed to lead us elsewhere, but I can't think of anything. Of course, that's the definition of something we missed...
