Aerith's right - as the game goes on and more people log onto the secret site, you'd expect the dots to get brighter or more numerous or something. But they've stayed consistently random (oxymoron, but you know what I mean, with how the secret site changes every time you refresh).

Hmm, I guess it is possible that it is just using records of the last X visitors or so, so it always shows a constant number of white dots.

But it is looking less likely. Occam's Razor suggests the white dots are just randomly selected from a fixed set of locations.

Is anyone else seeing to purple/fuschia colored dots in eastern Canada?

Depending on how you're looking at the globe (back to front, upside down, anything's possible with a constantly-moving+spinning globe), if it's Canada, it's probably Stephenville.

Have you noticed that the secret site is accesible trough this domain???:

www.164109150213.com

if you telnet 164.109.150.213 to port 80, you get a response with an email address:support@164109150213.com

I try sending an email to supportSPLAT164109150213.com, but there is no an email server response...

I think 200.136.36.14 is Akamai Technologies.
Per wikipedia, it's just "a company that provides a distributed computing platform for global Internet content and application delivery."

Okay so I and some other people saw this briefly yesterday -- the GRAPH on the omphaputer changed to show a different curve post-1815 (rather than rising steadily toward 2008, it stayed low and falling). After a while, though, the graph reverted back to the familiar rising curve (when I say 'reverted', I mean, after I reloaded the site, the graph looked as it has always looked). Well, just now I saw that it was showing the changed curve again, so I grabbed a screenshot. What does it mean??

EDIT: after zooming in and scrolling over to 2008, I noticed that the very tail of the graph is showing some funny stuff that suggests this has been updated to show post-2008 time... new screenshot added.

Hi all, I am new here and have never played anything like this game before. But its intreging and it got me hooked so far.

I did a little bit of digging into the secret site and forgive me if this was known already (I did a search and couldnt find it on this site)

I am pretty sure it doesn't mean anything, but to make this analysis of the secret site as complete as possible. I downloaded the .swf and opened to have a look in what is in there.

It appears to have been created by someone called Jens Krause www.websector.de

But again I am 99% sure that he really has nothing to do with this accept for creating the site.
