Sorry for the double-post, but I just received this:

Quote:
Greetings,

As the Communications Director of the Institute for Human Continuity, I'd like to thank you for taking an active role in preparing yourself for 2012. Please note your ticket is only valid for one person. Therefore, we strongly suggest that you encourage your friends and family to register for lottery numbers at TheIHC.com.

The IHC has uncovered evidence indicating that the disasters of 2012 are both real and unavoidable. We believe with 94% certainty that exactly four years from today, cataclysmic events will devastate our planet and many who inhabit it. December 21, 2012 cannot be ignored.

Though the future is uncertain, there are several things we can and must do to prepare. You have already begun by entering the IHC lottery and visiting our website. In the coming weeks, I will be hosting an online discussion during which I will answer your questions and provide additional knowledge on how you can continue to prepare. You may submit your written questions to me via twitter and email. We will also be accepting video questions and will have more details for you in the coming weeks.

I look forward to receiving your questions and working together to ensure that the end is just the beginning.

Sincerely,

Dr. Sorėn Ulfert, PhD
Communications Director
The Institute for Human Continuity

Online discussion, huh?

NEW STUFF

If you go to Who will Survive? there's a brand spanking new, AWESOME, trailer up. When the numbers 2012 come up at the end, it says something on them. Anybody have a clue. All I can make out is:

INTO A PLACE
GUE APOCALYPSE

*squeeeee!*

Oh man, I can't wait for this movie. I love "destruction porn" movies. It's fun to just turn off your brain and watch stuff explode/fall apart/sink/submerge and all that.

I entered my name in the lottery and got my ticket. I like all the websites associated with this...Woody Harrelson is AWESOME.
Anyway, besides all these websites popping up and such, it doesn't so much seem ARG-ish as much as just plain ol' viral marketing.

Check out the interview link in this email thread - this sh*t is real:

"Hello John,

Thanks for the help the other day. I emailed the links to the interview I gave on "The Grassy Knoll" to this address you recommended . . . did you get that email? I just want to make sure I spelled this address of yours correctly. Let me know, b/c I didn't see any response.

Anyways, I thought you might be interested to see this bit of news from the UK Guardian I came across when doing the research for this weeks show I'm about to record:

"Rebuild or retreat: US debates evacuation of Gulf coastline"
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2007/oct/11/usa.environment

The evidence is piling up, ain't it?

Take care and God Bless, and I'll continue to keep you in the loop as I learn more; I hope you will do the same. My interview link is pasted below.

The interview below originally aired on a show called the "Grassy Knoll" but has since been archived and must be purchased. However you can still download for free at the link below. The highlighted words in the online article link directly to the sources that I referenced when putting this all together (some have since been removed, but I have the originals):

Coastline evacuation interview:

Hmm...the code input is new. I went to the whowillsurvive2012.com site before Terminator: Salvation and didn't see this. Must have recently been added.

The code is pretty easy to figure out...just turn the wheel until you get all 3 symbols glowing blue. There's also green-glowing symbols, same deal there...find the 3 green symbols and line 'em up.
Also, red symbols.

They all show brief images of destruction. Blue for water, Green for earth, Red for fire. Simple enough. Mixing the colors doesn't do anything, and getting all three mini-images doesn't unlock anything further, at least nothing I notice.

Yup, got that letter as well - at the bottom of the letter is some cryptic looking error messages:

Quote:
%%[Error: ; OffendingCommand: ]%%
%%[Error: ; Missing Font : Font 'IHCletterhead' expected in folder /press/assets/fonts : Font not found: ]%%
%%[Warning: ; Font substitution : Font 'IHCletterhead' missing : Substitution font 'Helvetica' in use ; ]%%


Going to http://instituteforhumancontinuity.com/press/assets/fonts (or even just .../press/assets/) shows no font, as stated - but there *is* a video there (su_video.mov) that doesn't seem to appear on the rest of the site, talking about the IHC's new "Ambassador" program (as also described in the ARGFest letter).

There is also a Twitter account to follow: @TheIHC . Just one tweet up there for now (talking about the Ambassador program being launched at Comic-Con next weekend, as was also described in the letter). I was really hoping there would be an 'IHCletterhead' font somewhere - my thought was that, by finding the font and using it, some other message would be displayed - but I've been unable to find anything.

So I guess, keep an eye on the site and Twitter, and wait for Comic-Con...

ETA: There is also a phone number (888-363-2012) - goes to the voicemail box of Soren Ulfert (Communications Director and author of the letter) where you can leave a message. I called, got the message, and hung up like a big chicken without recording anything Very Happy

I just recieved this email yesterday.
So those of you heading to Comic Con, be on the lookout.
July 22, 2009

I am happy to announce that, at Comic-Con in San Diego, the IHC will be looking for people to participate in our prestigious IHC Ambassador program. Our Ambassadors will receive access to exclusive resources and information from the IHC.

I would particularly urge you to do your utmost to become an Ambassador.

If you or someone you know is planning to go to Comic-Con, be on the lookout for the postcard we will distribute there. You'll also want to follow @TheIHC on Twitter. This will be the main way in which we will communicate information about how one can become an Ambassador. We'll also be seeking Ambassadors among those who can't make it to San Diego, so it's crucial to follow us on Twitter.

Thank you in advance for your efforts. Remember together we can ensure the end is just the beginning.

Sincerely,

Dr. Soren Ulfert
Communications Director
(888) 363-2012
Twitter: @TheIHC
