i believe there may be an error in the puzzle...
[spoiler]instead of a "T" for the first letter, it may be a "S" (maybe supposed to be 45,1,3 instead of 45,1,6?). if that's the case, the letters we have would be: S-NT-Y-UT-POST

this led me to www.sentryoutpost.com

...

not 100% sure, but fairly certain that this is where the puzzle is supposed to lead us... comments?

Based on the registration alone I'd say this is a good shout - nice work! Having had a quick look at the site, however, I'm a bit unsure - the things that spring out are:

- last post was on Friday 13th, same day the packages were sent
- the site looks well developed - there's a fair bit of text, the wiki's active and has more than a handful of changes, and the forum is quiet but active. this kind of suggests that this is OOG...
- on the other hand, it's convenient that the server crashed at the start of January and that all the history was lost - less new content to create if this is IG.

Anyway, all told I'm not sure. It must be worth having a more detailed look at though.

Edit: other people posted whilst I was writing the above - based on comments from Dante & Caterpillar, I'm inclined to agree that this is almost certainly IG. You'll forgive my naivety - this is my first corporate ARG and I may have underestimated the resources and the level of work that goes into prepping these! Embarassed

From a forum post:

Quote:

I think that people are missing the old excitement. The thrill of the fight is what kept us together. We don't quite have the numbers to fight like we did, but they'll come if we give them something worth coming for. So, we need to post a bit more on the forums. We're not slackers, I'm sure that we've all seen or heard things that made us instantly think of the Sentries. I don't know how many times something has crossed my desk where I thought "wow, the Sentries would be all over this!" But, I haven't taken it that next step. If we all make a commitment to take that step and to bring stuff here, the forums will fill right back up, old friends will return, new friends will find us, and it will be like the crash never happened!

Seems like a reference both to the minimal data and a sort of "build it and they will come"....

Thread status is "solved", but what about the other letters? The ones from the column "book citation" (http://bsuwiki.arghive.com/RedNumbers)
Could be another website ending with the word GHOST... Smile
