Well hell, the game is still on, now we just have a better idea of what is IG and what isn't.

I, for one, have enjoyed the player-created ARG so far. I'll follow this thing through to the end.

The "official" admission regarding the Hack/Wacky Job should help in beginning anew. It went straight over my lil head that some felt that Simeon Hobbes was other than a nice fan-arg. Smile

Update on the Simeon Hobbes Blog titled Weirdos and Other Strangers with TEH pamphlet. Shocked

The seminar described in the pamphlet is full of goodies, hints and old friends which I won't spoil. However, Day Two has a lecture on "AUM" with which I was unfamiliar. LINK HERE

EDIT: to avoid stalking someone INRW

Hmmm...the web address that's under the logo on the pamphlet wasn't very clear so I looked up domains ending .co.?? and the first one to pop up was co.cc giving:

http://the8thspoke.co.cc/

On the news page there's a link to the archive which oddly links to this:

http://the8thspoke.co.cc/newsarchive.htm

It also gives a contact email address of contactSPLATthe8thspoke.co.cc.

Finally (for now) on the News page there are two blank images titled Alpha and Beta.

edit: Now he's posted a higher res version of the leaflet giving the address to us on a plate Sad

I've just run stegspy on the original pamphlet and it comes up as positive (Steganography found at marker position 140437 - Hiderman program detected!) but my software can't see any more - does anyone else have anything more sophisticated (I've tried viewing it in Hex but couldn't see anything)?

Edit: I've just tried to open it with Hiderman but it says there's nothing there. Must be a false positive.

Edit 2: The image on the news archive page has been edited to include a comment: 9:27PM EST. Be here.

Photoshopping the aidoneus.jpg reveals a Constellation. Suspect it's Capricorn or the Greek Aigokeros which "literally means, Goat-Horned"

Wow...lots of LOST references in that 8th spoke page. "Namaste", "Valenzetti" (of the Valenzetti equation), etc.

Makes me all nostalgic (for last season) Laughing

Nice find on that constellation image, too! I knew there had to be something to it, but you guys beat me to it.

Edit: Hmm...a contact area. I'm going to email them and see what I need to do to be accepted into the 8th Spoke foundation.

Edit 2: Okay, sent an email expressing interest in joining the group, we'll see if this leads anywhere.

'Scuse my ignorance but according to this page EST is used during the winter while EDT is used in the summer. In the UK we've long since passed into our summertime hours - is it not the same in the US? Either way it looks like it'll be the middle of the night here when whatever happens happens. Sad
