That is actualy one of the coolest javascripts that I have seen in a long time. Smile

Be warned, what you are looking at on those other forums is digging right through the curtin and hitting the ground behind it. The "admin" directory is the actual backend of the server, I highly doubt it's another thing set up for us to see.

There is no valid node/password. It's programmed to return connection failed no matter what is in there. Smile

Metacortex is live

Oops. Pushed wrong button and posted this as a new topic, so I'm repeating it here:

Site went live shortly after midnight. First message changed from "stand by" to "finalizing" then site went active. Now displays a home page with News, product, contact, and login tabs. At least two new sites:

http://www.metadex.net/
http://www.theaquapolis.com/

This is now looking like a full-blown ARG, with a least 4 websites known about so far. We should start a new forum/topic thingy.

EDIT: make that 6 sites

text in flash intro

The following text flashes intermitently on the screen during the opening flash on metacortex site:

this.x=(bw.ns4||bw.undefined)?.this.css.left:this.world.in.pain;
this.y=(bw.ns4||bw.dreamlinestate)? this.css.top:this.css.pixelTop;

then a bit later:

{this.cxl.visibility="community"}

If anyone is interested in working on a trail/guide please PM me.. I also think this is a good time to set a standard place to meet.. This is very much like the beast so a yahoo group seems in order.. what does everyone think?

We also need to set up an IRC channel.. can someone please raise these issues on the other two forums involved.

text in screen saver downloaded from Metacortex

Wired reality
Serving you...
Into the 21st century
METACORTEX

Then down in the lower righthand corner some small text flickers briefly:

logging user info
b_moveBy(x,y){this.x=this.x+x;x,y)

It vanishes to be replaced by:

The desktop theme, constituted from bit, hidden a message.
Now, i haven't decode the entire message (it's hypnotic), but the translated first four lines take us to this review of a movie: Metropolis

"The machine turns,turns and must keep on turning--for ever.It is death if it stands still. A thousand millions scrabbled the crust of the earth.The weels began to turn.... Wheels must turn steadily, but cannot turn untended. There must be men to tend them,men as steady as the wheels upon thier axles,sane men, obedient men, stable in contentment."
Brave New World, Aldous Huxley

Spoilers below. Now, I am not playing this game like a normal arg (mainly because everyone else on The Last Free City isn't) so what follows was obtained via decompilation and guesswork (you were warned!):
