Why Chicago? I would assume they mean 5 time zones behind GMT, aka EST.

That was my point. New York is *not* currently in EST (Eastern Standard Time) but EDT, which is currently = GMT -4 hours.

If you go to the World Clock page for Chicago they tell you that it is currently in daylight savings mode and its current time zone offset is GMT -5 hours -- they're not counting the *number* of time zones away from GMT but the settings on the clocks, where GMT has no daylight savings time.

Ohhh, my bad. So it's what, 6 hours away?

It's already expired, hasn't it? I mean that's 15:10 GMT = 11:10 EDT.

The last time I clicked through to the blog was sometime yesterday, and it worked then...

And no, I haven't found Liza either.

I'm still getting the blog when I go to the site, but it does a constant refresh as well. So glad someone posted the site or I'd have missed it LOL.

oh, duh, 10:10 AM, darn 24-hour clock.

Yes, it expired, probably at the moment the redirect from the blog was switched on.

Do the numbers at the bottom of the page on http://apacemindset.com/ mean anything? They change really quickly and I can't tell if they repeat or not. I thought they were the countdown but that has already passed.

As near as I can tell from the source code, it is some kind of script rng2.js.

That was bugging me also waitress, I can't make anything of it. Also, what does the omega or ohm symbol mean? I'm still trying to catch up with this game.

I am not sure how the Omega symbol ties in with the story.
I like the anagram of Space and Time, that seems to fit very well with what has happened so far.

I did a whois on apacemindset.com and found this email address apace.mindsetSPLATgooglemail.com. I am going to send them an email as soon as I can figure out what to say to them. Smile

The numbers are entirely random.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I know because the script says they are.

Basically (0-10) * 1000 + 100. So you end up with 100 - 10100 in 1000 unit steps... 100, 1100, 2100...10100. Randomly inserted into the days/hours/mins/sec spots of a normal countdown.

The symbol is either an Omega or an Ohm Very Happy. Or about a dozen and a half other things. Wiki entry.

I don't think either buys us anything. I'm actually thinking that we are just now getting into the game proper, that the rest has been a set up, but take that with a grain of salt.

Thanks Pancito, now I can quit trying to write down all of those numbers. Smile I totally can't see where it says they are random in the source.

Fourth line after:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
// If you want to manually customise the counter display, then edit this line:
.....
After the if statement. This is the else...(fall through). (I think. See disclaimer below.)
.....
CD_OBJS[id].innerHTML = (Math.floor(Math.random()*10)*1000+100) + " " + (Math.floor(Math.random()*11)*1000+100) + " " + (Math.floor(Math.random()*11)*1000+100) + " " + (Math.floor(Math.random()*11)*1000+100);


Which means that the first number can't be 10100. I think. It's been a loooooong time since I've written code.

Apace Mindset has been updated - under the title it now says "Providing you with a pure glimpse of the future." There's an "about us" section as well, and a "staff" page. Apparantly they are involved in paranormal studies...Time travel, mind reading, and shapeshifting are mentioned.

Not much

They updated the staff page. I googled all of the names and didn't find much. I found separate profiles for Mike Forester and Patricia Valentine on facebook but I don't think that they're IG. I also found professional profiles for both names on Linkedin.com but once again I think they might not be IG either. Also, they misspelled technician. For finding Liza Marsh, has anyone tried Extending her name to be Elizabeth? Just a suggestion.

*scratches head* Searching all of their names together doesn't bring up the site as a result.
