Could be. A TV add for Cloverfield just before it came out ran with all the "i"s missing from the MPAA rating. It seemed to be a wink to Tom Tooman's "look for what you are mssng" a totally unrelated (as far as I know) ARG that was running at the same time.

And of course there's Slusho Smile


Any connection between the VI on the pic and slusho 6? Either way, the number 6 is a JJ signature and it wouldnt surprise me to see it included in a game again..

Good point! I read somewhere about this number as trademark of JJ Abrams. Even in Lost it were significant, and in Cloverfield there were many "coincidences" with this number.

Clicked around a little on http://www.dezibelmusik.de/ found this link: http://www.ncc-1701.com/

4 interesting flash videos....

Ncc-1701 is the code for the enterprise in the Star trek series.

Nothing interesting in the source, site owned by paramount so it should be safe to assume its IG.

Each time you refresh the site a different camera is listed as being offline.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
If you adjust the sliders the view will come into focus. As the counter gets closer to the right number a percentage level nears 100% The "100%" numbers for each camera are:
Camera 1 - 564
Camera 2 - 125
Camera 3 - 955
Camera 4 - 289

During the lull, I was thinking about this curious response to Malako on

http://www.lepost.fr/article/2009/04/15/1496367_appareil-rue-de-la-federation-et-rue-de-presles.html#mareaction

Quote:
Rom V I 17/04 18:34
The device in question May being that which was stolen of our group in this same zone. A man s' flees with it in this direction. He was large and wore a hat and a shirt with an image d' a sheep on the front. S' you like it not to turn over this apparatus to quelqu' a d' other. We offer a double reward.


I mean if its a bluff, why bother? MalakO clearly got a good look at the running man, and would know how he was dressed. And it is a good explanation of the "draw me a sheep" response from Malako. But then the name Rom V I is a bit too obvious.
I'm not saying its IG, just curious. (If somebody from here posted it, fess up!)

kosmopol do you own any sheep shirts? I'm a bit low on them right now Very Happy

The ncc-1701.com site actually went live about 16 months ago, at the same time that Paramount's official movie site (http://www.startrekmovie.com/) went live. The ncc-1701.com site originally was accessible by clicking on a small red dot on the home page of the official movie site.

The four 3-digit slider numbers you found by playing with the site are the same as when I first played with the site back in Jan 2008, so apparently nothing's changed.

My gut sense is that this site was meant to be either the trailhead or an early clue for the Star Trek ARG, but was abandoned or de-emphasized when Paramount changed the release date for the film and moved back all of its marketing plans. (For those of you that aren't aware, Star Trek originally was supposed to premiere in December 2008, but after seeing the rough cut of the film, the studio decided to sit on it an extra five months and position it as a summer blockbuster.)

Of course if ncc-1701.com is still a live site, it probably still has some role/purpose ...

http://www.ncc-1701.com/ is first official Star Trek ARG website (which weren't really activated), here is a huge thread about it: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=23942

Thank you for 100% numbers anyway Smile

http://www.ncc-1701.com/ is btw. till now unrelated to our ARG, but you never know (I just recall doubts and long discussions about Slusho.jp in its relation to Cloverfield ARG, but at the end they were related)

I think, we shall forget about dezibelmusik.de, since it is OOG and seems to accumulate various ARG websites, which don't belong to the same universe.

In Cloverfield times I've learned to recognize fake websites, since the fake websites/gamejacks were overfilled with all ARG items, they just shouted about their right to belong to the ARG. The real IG websites are, in opposition, very subtle, and you will perhaps only at the end really identify they relations to each others. I hope, I've a right feeling though (in ARG you never know Smile)

No problems, it happens to everybody of us in this weird ARG world Smile

I just very hope, Malak0 is really an IG character and not a genious gamejack...

"The Mineralogy of Star Trek" (didn't know there was such a thing)
Says that dilithium crystal has a "theoretical formula of Li2 Fe7 Al2 Si8 O27"
If another member shows up with the codename "Li" that would make VI of them.

Have faith in Malako!

PHPChatUser1: "Ca"?
PHPChatUser1: 誰かいる?誰か何かタイプしてよ。
PHPChatUser1: ふざけないで、何か入力してってば!!早く!!
PHPChatUser3: Beruhig dich mal. Ich bin hier, überraschenderweise. Ich glaube, dass ich tatsächlich die Flugbahn herausgefunden habe. Naja, ich bin nah dran. Vielleicht sollte ich „Ca" fragen.
PHPChatUser1: "Fe"と僕で周波に取り組んでたんだ。でも、彼僕に連絡してこなくなって。彼大丈夫?
PHPChatUser3: Du solltest dich entspannen und Spass an der Sache haben! Nimm es als eine Möglichkeit. Wir sind größer und stärker als die meisten. Frauen werden dich endlich wahrnehmen. Sie haben mich bestimmt schon bemerkt.
PHPChatUser1: 君本気?僕ら、誰も信用できないんだってば!いつ捕まって殺されるかもしれないんだよ!!僕、全然眠れもしないのに、君は想像も出来ないくらい多くの人間の命を危険にさらして。
PHPChatUser3: Versuche, dich nicht darauf zu fokussieren.
PHPChatUser5: "Ca" is dead.
PHPChatUser1: 何?どうして分かったの?
PHPChatUser4: Sólo porque él no está aquí no significa que está muerto.
PHPChatUser1: 彼を探し出さなきゃ!彼の所に行っていい?彼の道具が必要なんだ、多分僕が行くべきだと思う。
PHPChatUser5: There's nothing to find. Except the device. He lost it, and now one of them has our only comm. unit! Why do you think he gave us its location? He is gone.
PHPChatUser3: Das kannst du nicht wissen!!
PHPChatUser1: "Ca"?どうしたらいいんだろ?僕、行くべき?
PHPChatUser3: Ihr Name ist „O", du Trottel!! Wie schwer ist es, sich diese dämlichen Codes zu merken? Bist du denn ein kompletter Vollidiot? Hast ein Bild deiner hässlichen Mutter neben deinem Bett – bin überrascht, dass du nicht jede Nacht in deinem eigenen Urin aufwachst.
PHPChatUser1: これって間違ってるよ、やばい予感がする。全部間違いだったんだ!家に帰ったほうがいいよ!!
PHPChatUser4: Ya no es la nuestra.
PHPChatUser5: There is NO going back! There is NO Federation to stop him, we MUST move on without "Ca"!! Their ONLY fighting chance is if we get this thing sent!!
PHPChatUser3: OK, keiner braucht dein Gequatsche. Ich mache das für Karnis. Übrigens, ich bin nah dran an den Koordinaten, für die wir es anvisieren müssen.
PHPChatUser5: And I am on the magnetic field, we didn't calibrate for interference.
PHPChatUser4: Puedo mandarte alguna información en la frecuencia, ¿Adónde debo mandarla?
PHPChatUser5: Hold it for now, it's useless without getting Ca's wave pattern.
PHPChatUser4: Estaremos bien. Presta buena atención.
PHPChatUser3: Sind wir fertig hier?
PHPChatUser5: I'll post locations as I find the key fields. I'll need you to go them exactly when I say.
PHPChatUser3: Ok, das war's dann. Jeder macht jetzt seinen Job.
PHPChatUser5: Pictures are tough here, but we must start sending each other the access points - @PHPChatUser5. Not sure yet how to get Ca's – but the input site will soon be live for all our fixes, hopefully generates something that works.
PHPChatUser3: Ich hoffe, die finden mich.
PHPChatUser5: Don't do anything stupid!
____PHPChatUser3 has disconnected____
PHPChatUser1: 僕もう行かなきゃ。全部、もう一度考え直さないと。
PHPChatUser5: Wait, we have to talk about how you're handling this.
____PHPChatUser1 has disconnected____
PHPChatUser4: No te preocupes. No trabajabas bien solo antes, y sé que podemos resolver estas cosas juntos.
PHPChatUser5: What does that mean?
PHPChatUser4: Nada, es sólo que la idea de estar dejado desamparado contigo me suena divertida.
PHPChatUser5: What?
PHPChatUser4: Piénsalo y en mí.
PHPChatUser5: Don't do this, not now.

I can't do a proper translation but... seems Ca is dead, and it was his doohickey. There's talk of co-ordinates and frequencies... definitely sounds like something being transmitted.

Oh, and something to do with Ca's death... I think it says he was last seen or headed for the aiport.

I'll defer to someone else's superior translating skills. Smile

So, it appears that CA was the guy who ran down the street in Paris at the intersection (it was his very first run) and he dropped the 'device' there which Malak0 has now.
Notice the mention of the Federation and wave patterns of which CA has apparently died without passing his on..

Bits and pieces but this looks to be for real. Will have to wait for a translation..and the input site will soon be live.. next clue?

Here is a translation of the german parts (i'm a native german)

PHPChatUser3: Beruhig dich mal. Ich bin hier, überraschenderweise. Ich glaube, dass ich tatsächlich die Flugbahn herausgefunden habe. Naja, ich bin nah dran. Vielleicht sollte ich „Ca" fragen.
Calm down. I'm here, surprisingly. I believe that I relaly have found the trajectory (flight path?). Well, I am close to. Maybe I should ask "Ca".

# PHPChatUser3: Du solltest dich entspannen und Spass an der Sache haben! Nimm es als eine Möglichkeit. Wir sind größer und stärker als die meisten. Frauen werden dich endlich wahrnehmen. Sie haben mich bestimmt schon bemerkt.
You should relax and have fun with this thing! Take it as an opportunity. We are bigger and stronger than most (people?). Women will finally take notice of you. They must have noticed me by now.

# PHPChatUser3: Versuche, dich nicht darauf zu fokussieren.
Try not to focus on it.

# PHPChatUser3: Ihr Name ist „O", du Trottel!! Wie schwer ist es, sich diese dämlichen Codes zu merken? Bist du denn ein kompletter Vollidiot? Hast ein Bild deiner hässlichen Mutter neben deinem Bett – bin überrascht, dass du nicht jede Nacht in deinem eigenen Urin aufwachst.
Her name is „0" you idiot!!! How hard is it, to remember those stupid codes? Are you a total idiot? Do you have an image of your mother beneath your bed – I am surprised, that you do not wake up in your own urine each night.

# PHPChatUser3: OK, keiner braucht dein Gequatsche. Ich mache das für Karnis. Übrigens, ich bin nah dran an den Koordinaten, für die wir es anvisieren müssen.
Ok, nobody needs your talking. I'm doing this for Karnis. Btw, I am near the coordinates, we have to aim it for (notice: That's a bit strange sentence in german so the translation might not be fully accurate. As I think that this might be a crucial point, I try to describe the sentence: There seems to be something that they can aim at some target. The writers is near the coordinates that this thing should aim at)

# PHPChatUser3: Sind wir fertig hier?
Are we done here?

# PHPChatUser3: Ok, das war's dann. Jeder macht jetzt seinen Job.
Ok, that's it. Everyone is doing his job.

# PHPChatUser3: Ich hoffe, die finden mich.
I hope they find me.
