Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I played the symbol arrangemnt game and got a fake desktop with the recycle bin, 'internet' that gives you the username SEEKER and no password, and if you move the flashing 2012-03-01 there is folder with a link in it. The link downloads a .zip and once opening the few zipping and rezipped folder you get an mp3 with a guys voice saying, i think, "Arg 1st, 20-28." Beats me gang.

Hey - it seems you are missing the file within the recycle bin - that file is the clue to help you get the password for the Internet button.

The Mp3 is really damn strange sounding... I wish I had some kind of proper sound program so that I could dissect it - I too hear the date but there is something else there too to which I can't really make out no matter how loudly I listen.

 		Wow nice find I know there is a way to map that out (sorry trying to keep it under hypothetical spoiler tags) but I don't know how to/what program I need do it.

 		I tried to get the anomaly yesterday and ended up in some strange error loop, now the flash runs so slowly it barely moves. I've let the website run for more than 30 mins, and still can't get the moon to appear. I've tried clearing my cache to help, but still have the same issues. I'd like to follow along, but apparently my computer and that website aren't compatible. <sigh>

Agreed, everything is moving very slowly for me, I can't get it past the "Precaching" stage and this is very interesting, as I'm trying to get more into ARGs. I hope it works eventually.


Edit: Immediately following Dante's post, it actually started working. Really interesting stuff, glad it did start working. Looking forward to following this with you guys.

 		Mr./Ms. PM if you are reading this:

Given the number of potential players who seem to having trouble loading in/exploring your site, perhaps you might want to consider reducing some of the flashy elements or otherwise simplifying things so that you can reach a larger playerbase. Technical roadblocks are a stoopid barrier to entry.

Or maybe add a second, less-flashy version as an option for them, keeping the flashy version up for those who want it.

Also, for those having problems, the site seems to work really well in Google Chrome, whereas I was having some problems with it in Internet Explorer.

 		Saved the file mentioned above, very interesting, the actual mp3 is behind a handful of empty folders holding others.

As you can see when you open the file the names say:

EDIT2: Also made IRC Channel #interdimensionalgames

Yeah I had this problem yesterday too -- the moon seemed to completely disappear FOR GOOD when it went off the screen to the left (i let it sit open for over an hour!). I tried it again however around midnight (pacific time!) last night and it seemed to work fine. The moon now goes off the left and re-appears a few minutes later across the bottom... and then moves to the right... doing a full orbit.

Also I believe clearing the cache won't do anything because it is local cookies of some kind (the cookies are not saved the normal way, but rather are "pre-cached" directly to your system.)... as ive tried to clear cookies and cache and everything I could with no luck to reset the puzzle game.

Also my computer and connection are kind of crappy (the several loading screens take some time)... but it all seems to still work perfectly fine with Firefox. I didnt know people still use IE lol

I'm not sure about any other sounds in the mp3, but he's saying
"March first twenty twenty-eight".

If you're using a chat client like mIRC the server is irc.chat-solutions.org, or you can use the java applet at www.chat-solutions.org/chat once on type "/join #iDGi" with out the quotes.
