Just a note but I googled the notstalkerviraladvertising and there's a couple other people out there who actually have distinguished the date as DECEMBER 24, 1981 as opposed to DECEMBER 29, 1986.

No offense, but they are wrong, it is DECEMBER 29, 1986. The Morse for 4 and 9 are similar as are 1 and 6 - same patterns, but the dots and dashes are reversed:
4: ....-
9: ----.
1: .----
6: -....


No offence taken Toasty my old friend lol. - I just thought I'd throw it out there, as I noticed it Very Happy

Stuff like this is always up in the air, especially with our little TINAG code. Saying "notstalkerviraladvertising" could mean "Yes, this is viral advertising!", or they could have no idea about TINAG and actually mean that it's not.

Yeah but gtfoplz generally isn't a term used by people in ARGs unless the person trapped is a 1337 h4x0r type.

Quote:

ITALY TIGHTENS SECURITY AMID TERRORIST THREATS
By ROBERTO SURO, SPECIAL TO THE NEW YORK TIMES (NYT

Security forces are on high alert at Leonardo da Vinci Airport and other potential terrorist targets around Rome, Government officials said today. The added precautions were in part a response to recent terrorist threats against Italy, the officials said. Police officers armed with submachine guns were out in large ...

and does the phrase notstalkeradvertising lead onward or just clarify?

There was speculation earlier that this could be part of a campaign for the upcoming sequel to Stalker:Oblivion Lost - this would put that idea to rest.


I still think it's related to Stalker: Clear Sky, but that's just me.

Whether it is or it isn't, putting those statements in the feed is awkward by any means.

This probably isn't very constructive, but did anyone else think of six-sided dice when they saw d6?

Anyway, I'll be keeping an eye on this. I'll investigate this at a more respectable hour and hopefully I'll find something.

I'm going to say that the ransacked office image has one definite thing and two maybes: One definite pair of legs at the top right (possibly walking away) and Maybe 1) a dead body in the center and 20 smoke or "something" obscuring the left side. I dont have anything to back up the last two, thats why their "maybes".

And what do those squares mean? in the second to last (i think) image.

Maybe our poor soul has had some awesome Cheyrnobel (spelling?) ARG and has waited for the video game to die down. Then someone brings it up and he gets all pissed. That might make some sense

True, but Chernobyl is kind of a.....gruesome subject. But then again.....

Your theory makes the most sense.
