 		Ok I'm seeing something different, I don't know if you are seeing it too, you might need to clear your cache, but the map is different from that pic now.

 		Changes to ajkin map
Iowa now in Eastern territory
I think!@! this means that the Eastern government is gaining ground on the Cheyenne government. The map now shows a flashing line about to go under Missouri too, so then it will be two states taken back from the Cheyenne government.

 		Sorry guys
Sorry, i didn't mean for us to start discussing Jericho views here on this site that probably don't have a direct link to the game.

My thought was that since areyouaborder was found after this site and we have an apparent border here on the adjkin site that they would tie in together.

 		The re-appearing border in Missouri would possibly explain the one screencap from Season 2 saying "Indian Springs, Missouri" as that hamlet is near the top of the re-appearing border for Missouri.

All right, I'm just now getting into all of this again, but the things that stand out to me, in addition to the borders, are the green +, and the gray smoke like objects. There are 5 of the smoke looking things, and 5 maybe 6 (way down at the bottom left side) of the green +.

Does anyone have any ideas about these? Also, I saw a possible correlation between the current view to the old radiation map on the sacredhatcasino.com site. It appears that this particular area is part of the most widely affected areas on the other map too.

 		CBS is slowly lifting the curtain as we solve things now:

They've revamped the website. Thought I'd throw this out there.

Patton- never be sorry for any spec here. Only expect, at times, to be trouted. Smile This game is revolving around Jericho- information from the show could prove vital to the game.

I think there are actually 6. The spec from way back when is proven via the CBS blog- the smoke spots are some of the more important towns that were hit.

CBS Blog wrote:
These images included scars, added by Tom, representing the known locations of the explosions.


From East to West- Indianapolis, Chicago(or the Chicagoland area, anyway), Minneapolis(or possibly St. Paul), Kansas City, Topeka, and the last is kind of ambiguous- probably Colorado Springs(too far south to be Denver).

 		If the smoke is to be where the nukes hit, then Denver is one of them, confirmed in an episode of Jericho.

Into the Black Hills
The adventure with Poe's raven helped our players unlocked a new destination: Black Hills Radio Control. Here, Tooman had embedded several Morse Code clues. The first, a fragment of Civil War by Roman lyrical poet Lucan was decoded and posted on Unfiction. Lucan was writing during Nero's reign (so be suspicious if any Jericho residents break out a fiddle in Season 2). Tom's other codes helped players to solve a larger puzzle, and unlocked a major clue dissemination that players have been using for months now: the radio towers.

At this newly unlocked site players tuned into Tom's personal radio tower network to scan frequencies and pick up signals across the Midwest. Signals were discovered from the military, from cities that had been hit in the attacks and from characters in the ARG (like Ryan Archer). It's taken some truly amazing teamwork by the Nuts posting on Unfiction to crack all these codes! Read more about how they did it in the Black Hills Radio Control thread.

Beyond the Walls of Jericho
Developing an ARG is tricky business. Some elements of the experience are clue dissemination tools like Black Hills Radio, but sometimes it's nice to put some faces to the clicks, beeps and whizzes. Surreptitiously, the radio transmitted a signal that lead players to a blog maintained by a young Kansas newspaper writer, Danny. By reading the entries, players can get a sense of how a town—not entirely unlike Jericho struggled to survive in the wake of the attacks.

Also and I'm not sure if anyones seen this before, but there is also another Wikipedia link that discusses ARG"s.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate_reality_game

At the bottom of the article it states that the page was last updated on 1/29/08.
I'm not sure if it was just updated or if its entirely new. Has anyone seen this before?

Some Things Are Sacred
Black Hills Radio Control has provided players with a steady stream of chatter, clues and web site directives, but probably none as substantial as the Sacred Hat Casino. Like the Blackjack Fairgrounds, the Sacred Hat Casino plays a much different role for nearby denizens than it did prior to the attacks.


Formerly a popular tourist destination managed by Tom's father, the casino's now a central depot for re-established health, education, trading and communications systems. From a game play and Jericho fan perspective, the site offers a chance to dig deep into the online lives of a post-attack Cheyenne community and get a sense of how the destruction's fallout permeates every aspect of daily life.


Because Tom designed the site, it's loaded with games, secrets and encoded methods of communication. For example, decoding the Mayan glyphs on the teepee uncovers a message: "it will happen." Adding this to the URL unlocks a secret game, a post-attack riff on blackjack, called "23", with cards designed from Mayan glyphs. Mastering this game (we don't want to give away how!) leads to a second Sacred Hat game, focused on Divination. For more on the site and these two games, check out the player thread in the Unfiction forums! In the next entry, we'll visit some corporate friends of ours…

If Wall Street Still Exists, Check Under JNAR
Jennings & Rall. It's a name that's been floating around the Jericho community since it appeared on the board at the Blackjack Fairgrounds. How big a role will J&R play in Jericho's second season? You'll find out soon enough.

The site was discovered when members of the Jericho community received J&R press releases in their email in-boxes. Were they really from the company? It's hard to tell.

Reply emails solicited a further response from Tom Tooman that linked our "Nuts" with the unFiction community that was becoming increasingly familiar with Tom's antics.

Before long, everybody was meeting and greeting on unFiction, discussing the details of the Jennings & Rall web site. Is this real? When will the Ravenwood section unlock?

Some of these questions have since been answered…dig into the forums and see what if this company means well, or if their involvement means more trouble for everyone in the western United States, from Tom Tooman to Jake Green and beyond…

Cheyenne Whoa-Oh Radio

The voice of government. Well, one government anyway. Via a Cheyenne Government communication dispatched to web site UGO.com, players were invited to tune into a specific radio frequency (via Tom's Black Hills Radio Control) to hear government messages.

These messages chronicled all forms of aid, support and infrastructure repair with respect to restoration "west of the blue line". To get the scoop on all the dispatches from Radio Cheyenne, hit up the unFiction forums.
