 		[QUESTION] Artifact Location (city number sequences)
I was comparing StarImage4 to the artifact location .76 site and realized that each time I refreshed the .76 site it gave me a different visual configuration of stars. Dead end it would seem. But there must be a correlation between the .76 site and Starimage4 (obviously both referring to the 'Artifact Location.'

Has anyone been able to pin down the the number sequences next to the cities?

I'd venture to guess that the settings will change as we near server 5 activation.

I do not think this site was accidentally activated early. They may have guessed we'd stumble here in our brute force attempts to activate servers. The reasoning is that the randomized sequences may indeed be replced with relevant data once they are ready to send us the next steps.

 		Stupid flash tricks
If you press enter with the cities in view, a new set of random number generators with the same cities overlay on top of the original.

 		maybe it's not random
hi, im new to this, but anyway, what if the numbers aren't random, there are just a few sets, and we need to collect them all and use them for something, as a code or a passwrod or who knows. all spec, just thinkin'...

 		I'm pretty sure it blatantly states out "random".

Sorry but trying to decipher it would just lead us to nowhere and a lot of wasted time.

 		City number sequences
Well, it may be a code for those cities, but there is hope for out-of-towners:

The string is ten digits long - maybe a US phone number to call when un-randomized. The other end may provide the next BPC link, like talking to profvol49. Or at least another participatory thing in this viral.

zip codes +4 would be nine characters long and letters would not be used. Coordinates would mean some prefix numbers would already be known and locked (so stupid to randomize).

Well, hope this brightens up a dreary day (in the Northeast US).
