I may be in.

The video link is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exrhcojq_js if I got it right, but it says that the video just has been uploaded and will be available in some time.

yep, got it too, and to be clear, the message for that video code says

The video you have requested is not available.
If you have recently uploaded this video, you may need to wait a few minutes for the video to process.
Sorry about that.

Which is the same for any non-existent video. So. yup.

It would seem to me that the randomness of uppercase and lowercase letters in U-Tube url's would seem to make the mathematical probability of the uploader actually getting a url that would work out this way pretty low.

That would leave me to believe that the "8" might have some purpose here.

I will reply to the e-mail and see if the PM is willing to provide a nudge.

I got an email last night that I assume is connected to this.

Okay... Anyone know what Sikh could mean? As far I can tell, it's a religion, and the root word has nothing to do with numbers. "Six" seems far too obvious, though. Anyone have an idea?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikh

Also. I'm thinking that maybe the numbers are the time, so the date might be encoded in the gauge's (the one on the top with the rabbit) URL. Weird thing: when I open the image directly, it doesn't have the "4 months until Alice dies" text on it. Try it. Maybe it need to be embedded from that blog to work?

EDIT: Never mind. The text is white, and I was viewing it on a white background... Embarassed

I got the email too. Which is amusing, considering how long I've mostly been out of the ARG scene. But this one's drawn me back.

Looking back over some of the older entries on Alice's blog now, one thing jumps out at me: The recording of the static from her radio. I can hear vague whispering sounds in there, but I have neither the programs/equipment or the skill necessary to do any kind of editing to investigate. Anybody better at that sort of thing want to take a whack at it?
