Well then I'm willing to believe that has nothing to do with this subject.

[MerRabbit]

So far my theory holds up, two updates have occurred at the end of a five day glyph cycle. Which puts the next update at around midnightish -12:15am EST
on the morning of the twenty first. Then following that another on the 22nd, as we change to Mol. Although I don't know if Mol will change or just become the new holder for the map link.

Cool Beans Peace

OK, so we indeed do have an update. Now the map appears to show clouds passing in the sky. Like the background has been animated.

Weird...

Once again, I don't really know what I'm looking for.

[ncfriend]

in addition to the clouds in motion, there appears to be a more stationary build up of "clouds" over our five cloud spots.

The more pronounced build up is over Colorado, building toward the west.
Our twin clouds (Topeka/Kansas City???) build up toward the northwest.
A smaller build up over the Minneapolis area toward the northeast and over Chicago to the east.
And a minute build up (if any) over over Indianapolis.

This is going to sound so corny... but it's almost like.. smoke signals.
Dont hit me.

[Bubasture]

After considering giving ncfriend a proper thrashing, I looked more into smoke signals.

[tygr20]

Falling in line with gcdoa's updates theory...

Weird how this game is sort of coordinating with the beginning of the atlantic hurricane season.

I have approximated the smoke clouds with what cities are located underneath. Now please note that this involved a lot of guesswork, and I am not completely satisfied with the Colorado Springs location.

Minnesota

[Bubasture]

Here's a list of addresses that may be relevant to the map. I tried searching for "red cloud" near the areas of stationary heavy cloud cover. All can be found via Google Maps.

Red Cloud St
Colorado Springs, CO 80911

Red Cloud Trail
Elbert, CO 80106

Red Cloud Ridge
Elbert, CO 80106

Red Cloud Rd
Woodland Park, CO 80863

Red Cloud Ln
Elgin, IL 60124

W Red Cloud Dr
Lockport, IL 60441


Also a list of cities with the "smoke signal" clouds:

Colorado Springs, CO
Kansas City, KS
Topeka, KS
Minneapolis, MN
Indianapolis, IN
Chicago, IL
Somewhere near Eureka Springs, AR

Maybe the zip codes or area codes can be strung together to make a phone number or IP address?

Edit: Damn, beat me to it.

Edit 2: "find what's mssng" could either place emphasis on the IN and IL locations (the i's) or lead us to look at the city of Red Cloud, NE.

[rushkoff]

just received mine

[MerRabbit]

You got scans there Rushkoff? It'd be nice to see some proof.

Like tygr says:
<tygr20> I want scans, and like ebay made me do with the wii, I want to see him holding the letter/stickers and a close up with some marking indicating it's his

I concur.

[ncfriend]

Hi Rushkoff... welcome! Register (its free.. and addictive... the first hit always is... ) at Unforums so you can upload some scans.

We, like the ARGvultures we are, like to pick over the remains


Things you three have in common: you're all humans. *cough*
so so far that's it..

[MerRabbit]

How's this for a connection SpaceBass runs a site dedicated to ARG's and Chaotic fiction both forms of viral marketing which according to your site you wrote a book about in say oh 1994?

[Jubilus]

I don't get it. Why would someone promoting this ARG send a letter to someone who isn't even affiliated with Unfiction?

Rushkoff, do you run a website promoting ARGs? Maybe this person is trying to promote the game through many different ARG outlets.

Edit: And, how would you even know to come to the Unfiction forums to say you got a letter in the first place?
