Could you link to the first instance? The only previous instance I find is a registered one-poster, and I can assure they are certainly not from the exact same source.

Yep, it's been mentioned. And check this out

Any idea what it could have to do with Super 8? Other than just the Air Force ref?


I think it somehow ties in with the Area 51 material being freighted to a secure location in Ohio. STALOG is an acronym for Study of Automation of the Logistic System. Logistics is defined as:
Quote:
the branch of military science having to do with procuring, maintaining, and transporting materiel, personnel, and facilities

But when I think logistics, I usually just think of the movement of freight.

The US Air Force has hundreds of secret codes that could be used in this ARG, but it's very broad and trying to find a solid connection could be nearly impossible... let's keep doing research though we may uncover an undeniable connectio.

 		Seriously, forealiously, if TPTB really wanted us to read through a text heavy manual for an old computer program that would lead to 2 things.

1. The game would be SO BORING no one would want to play it. What's next? Do 8th grade algebra homework in order to find a passcode? Then read War and Peace to find a website? I doubt anyone trying to make any type of "Game" would force players to do something so boring.

2. The link would be on the website.

The program running is just to place the game in time, we're in 2002 in the game it seems and initial information is "coming from" 1977. That is all we need to know, the game should be good enough to show us the rest.

 		I gotta agree with Nighthawk.

I can understand having people who work for the viral interacting with fans, I mean hell, that's kind of what a viral IS. However, having those same workers drop hints as blatant and as "helpful" as what was posted is taking it a little too far.

The whole point of a viral marketing campaign is to both be mysterious in its presentation in order to hype people up for the end result, as well as rake in a lot of money when the final reveal is...well, revealed.

So, once again, I agree with Nighthawk. Those links posted by guests should be ignored.

Yeah, that 's the second time a "guest" has chimed in with that particular piece of information. I have been all over that file and can find no link that will help us. Anyone else?

[EDIT] And since it's the second time... I'm willing to bet we haven't examined this as closely as we should.


"Grass root" PMs might pull the stunt of providing hints through a guest account, but I can say with a high degree of confidence that these PMs will never resort to that.

A guest account posting a link without any explanation whatsoever, at least as far as this game is concerned, is something to be ignored in my book.

I dunno, that would assume that we're looking at a real PDP-11 emulator, instead of Flash movie of one, no?

OK, looked through it, tried a bunch of commands instead of answering Y or N. Nothing happens, that I can see.
