i reckon the problem is with the programming and they just bustled together a few things telling us to wait so they could sort it out. sounds to me lik things will be back online at some point today.
Remember: Good things come to those that wait!

its only been a week

I think I know what will happen.

Just remember where you heard it first!

Pedro Guzmam will log into his myspace account at 5 o' clock today GMT, this is when the UK finish work usually. (High volume of people on net!). He will turn his profile to non private, and on that site there will either be the number we need or some form of clue to get the number. We all get this number at about the same time then we will be onto

Domino #9 http://www.lafuentedemusica.com/# will have next clue

Domino #10 http://www.guiradobuitrago.com/# will have next clue

and Domino #11 http://inclinarelpunto.com/# will have next clue.

then well. not sure yet!

are you mistaking the join button whilst in-game with the join button on their site?

if so, click "guinness" at the bottom of the in-game screen, then when in next window click "join in". hope that helps Wink

I know, i'm at work and I just know when I have a meeting or if I dont keep checking the myspace something will happen in that time!

I had the same problem earlier, not knowing how to register. I eventually found out. You should get an email confirming registration, I would make sure you do this else I dont think you can win.

Good luck mate!

Radio Boludo

For those who wanted an update on the radio translations,

1.) "And now MAURICIO CHURRASCO, who asks for his favorite song - EL ELEFANTE DE LA SANGRE DE FLAUTA. However, when repeated by the presenter, he says EL ELEFANTE CON LA SANGRE DE FLAUTA.

2.) Radio Boludo - Route 123 has a congestion due to a lorry loaded with MATCHSTICKS.

3.) A "high five" to all lorry drivers AL SUR DE LA FLORIDA (south of La Florida) which is a city/place in Argentina where cow meat and CARNICERIAS are famous.

4.) Now an interview w/ DIEGO PAZ, a famous artist. He tells then, he's painted for 37 years and he was inspired by the nature. After that he makes some comments about the TIPPING POINT FESTIVAL, which was awesome, fulfilled with GREAT SURPRISES, wonderful.

5.) Radio Boludo broadcasting at 150.000 Watts. 119.5 now playing. Thanks for listening to Radio Boludo.

6.) This hour was sponsored by Guinness Brewery, the preferred beer on Radio Boludo.

7.) 28ºC is the temperature in the city centre.

And BOLUDO is an Argentinean slang (not seen anywhere re other Spanish speaking countries) which means many things, i.e. to cheer a friend, to address bad words, etc... however, in this Guinness game, I truly believe it is only a clue as people know the ad's taken place in Argentina.

Boludo

When I googled Boludo I got:

"From the Argentine language, meaning having huge balls. Making you stupid. Often used when greeting a friend or in a dispute."

Are Guinness trying to say Stout adds a few pounds to your testicles??

BREAKTHROUGH!
???

just recieved this e-mail

off theresaSPLATdiageogb-info.com <theresa>

Hi,

Many thanks for your query. Unfortunately I am unable to help with your query regarding La Fiesta de Toppling. However, I was forwarded the below from Argentina. It may be of interest to you:

Buenos Dias amigo,

I see you are lost. You come to others in search of help. The internet holds the secret to our past but, sadly, I cannot pretend to understand it.

However, my friend, do not despair! Remember that you are not alone on your incredible journey. Others seek the ultimate reward. Perhaps together you can unlock the code?

Cosas buenas llegan a los que esperan!

Juan Ramon (Mayor).


what do you make of that then???

also takes you to this page..

Boludo is slang for 'cool' in Argentina. At least according to my Spanish wife who has spent far more time in Argentina than I have.

And yes, from my computer also... everything is brighter / clearer.

Diego Paz is indeed now written on the picture (wasn't before); Arpa Taller de Autos is clearer and now written backwards and upside down; book is now very similar to a pint of Guinness (including the harp draw)...

What time does the clock show on an US computer? Here it shows 15:55pm (UK time) and the clock works normally, despite still being locked.
