[Website] Are You A Border?
www.areyouaborder.com

We are no longer a news and a rumor... Hence this separate thread!
Hopefully I'll get around to reposting all our finds tomorrow. In the meantime, here are the bare essentials:

Site discovered by: drizjr
How did we find it? Following an update on www.ajkin.com (see trailhead thread), we got the phrase "Are you a" written in Morse code across borderlines. drizjr made the logical leap to "are you a border", and here we all are.

Click here to read the site analysis by yours truly.

edit to remove [NEW] tag. ~drizjr

SOLVED...
...or is it?

The html page on blackhillsradiocontrol.com is called dearther. After days of pondering this, I suddenly thought that it was an anagram for "Red Earth", which is the password on ayab.

Enter it, and you see the raven fly away with the earth...

...and then...


...Nothing.

Huh?

Nice one! ...But wtf does it mean?


Is Tooman tryin to tell us that giant ravens are going to eat the earth or something. If so that would be...


The best ARG EVER!!! (lol)

But seriously, I'm going to have to ponder this little mystery...

EDIT: Wait...Red Cloud...Red Earth? This "Red" password trend seems to be progressing bigger each new thing we find. Maybe the next password will be Red Galaxy, then Red Universe...Red Heaven? Not sure, but it just seemed odd to me.

(Omg, Double post)


Hey, while workin my creative little mind, I thought I might put the iris from the eye that the raven tears out on ayab, on the earth from ayab.

Resembles something crashing into the earth....slightly.

Could be insignificant, but what the heck? Why not try it?



hmmmm...

i had the same thoughts on the "red", only about the elements....
earth, air, fire, water..etc.... red cloud (air), red earth..etc. etc.

felt like a doof when Het mentioned the anagram for Dearther.. doh!.. those are the first things I usually think to check.. lol.

Red Giant might be a next logical step if that's the case.

Hmmm...

Just had a brain poop!


"Red Earth" made me think...

It says in the Bible that when the earth ends all the Egyptian plagues will be repeated. One of these plagues is that the waters will turn to blood.

So...the earth is two thirds water, correct?

If it says Red Earth...maybe that is referring to the plague? I dunno, but I thought it was a coincidence since this game screams apocalypse...

Red Earth could be a pointed reference to blood-stained earth in many areas covering many conflicts.
Or, it could be a reference to mankind in general using the terminology of the ancients from the Fertile Crescent.
Or, just the technical definition of soil with a high oxide content.

Not sure if this is just the angle of the earth but I found this odd...


On the picture of the earth...where's Antarctica?

Probably the angle of the earth, but its worth looking into....

Angle of the Earth. The bottom of SA doesn't show, neither does South Africa.

Yeah, your right. I'm just lookin for something that leads us further...


this is kinda frustrating...because the puzzles lead to more puzzles. We haven't a clue what any of this means...


...there isn't a storyline from what I can tell.

wow you guys have come a long way since the barcode/ajkn puzzle that I left off at..lol im not even gonna attempt to jump in at this point, but I just wanted to throw this out there, since you guys were discussing the meaning of "Red Earth"

Mars is referred to as the "Red" planet.. and scientists say that at one point it could have supported life... maybe this whole thing is telling us that Earth is heading in the same direction that Mars did with the whole destruction theme... just a thought!

anyways, good luck guys! this seems to have gotten even more complicated with this whole radio frequency thing but you guys got a lot of smart people workin together.. this game doesnt stand a chance lol have fun!
