[NSFW] [Trailhead possible] maybe a start
My friend told me to post this here..

My friend sam thinks this is an arg starter....


I was buying a toy from this site, (embarrased) when I finished putting my cc info in and clicked buy, I got some strange as hell number sequence.

It came in a popup window and said

The clock Strikes 12
58430024231
WELCOME TO THE END!

it was like 4:30 soooo....

here is the site, u guys can tell me what you think

www.sexycornerstore.com

[EDIT] Added NSFW tag --Giskard

I pretty much think we can close this without starting.

I'd sure as hell would play a sexy ARG that featured edible lingerie. Imagine an interactive game where perhaps you receive free lingerie shaped food! That'd be awesome.

Seriously, though, I think you didn't stumble on anything.

however racy the site may be, that number sequence could be a phone number backwards, but I'm officially not touching this one...

lol

If it's an ARG I think they are going to have to find a new delivery method as I doubt/hope nobody here would put in CC info and click "buy" looking for clues.

Although I assume this is a joke from someone familiar with the ARG community who thinks people will do exactly that, inadvertently buying themselves sex toys.

If I am wrong and this really did happen I would suggest canceling that credit card.

I must admit I gave deleting that url some thought from an admin point of view. I do not believe there's anything ARGish there at all and that just leaves a sneaking suspicion this might be plain old spam, and we're not too keen on that here.

We'll leave it up to anyone to figure it out for themselves though, I added an NSFW tag to the topic to make sure no one stumbles upon this unwittingly.

I wouldn't like to imagine the discussions about how it was progressing. Or what would constitute a solve.
