New Thread?

Flynn Lives was my first ARG and it was awesome! I am stoked to be involved in the Dark Knight Rises ARG.

Is it time to create a new thread for the game or do we keep it here?

Keep it here, it's not an ARG yet.

Damn! It's like sitting on the floor and watching cookies through the oven window when I was a kid!

What needs to happen for it to become an ARG?

You stopped doing that as a kid? I'm 24 and I still do that.

A (very unprobable) theory (or just wishful thinking):

The twitter account has been mentioning random people - some of them are following the account, some have tweeted using the hashtag. Some of them have done this hours ago, some just recently. So when the account mentions other people, the logical (and easiest) way to do so seems to be to just mention the ones who have done so most recently. But they don't. Could there be some code hidden there (maybe involving the first letter of the usernames or something)?

Can someone post a link to this twitter because i have searched quite a few places and can only find mentions of it rather than the thing itself (unless i'm being dim and have missed something.)

I might be dim too... Hell, I wouldn't have made it through Flynn Lives without the fine folks of unfiction...

http://twitter.com/#!/search/%23thefirerises

It isn't so much a twitter account as much as a hash tag.
So, just log into twitter and in the search bar, type in #thefirerises

There are over 900 tweets from @thefirerises account as of right now... even at one or two letters in each tweet, we'd be talking about a pretty substantial code, wouldn't we?

However exciting it may be, I reckon we're probably over-thinking it at the moment.

1. site with audio file
2. audio file analysed to find Twitter tag
3. twitter tag leads to image

...even though the complete image was leaked, we'll probably have to wait until tweeted version is complete.

I think I know what you mean. The bot on twitter.com/thefirerises right? Maybe.

I made a quick blog last night since I will be following this ARG (Which I understand is not technically an arg yet, since it's just one audio puzzle and group activity so far, but it's obviously going to be one). I'm new to blogging so I am sure there are things I got wrong, but I think it could be helpful. http://aestdkr.blogspot.com/ Hope it is helpful and enjoyable. Feedback harsh and otherwise appreciated.

Also I've found that The Superhero Hype board seems to be the main buzz place for this, as it was in the previous one (which I didn't even know until assuming as such researching the first one's timeline.) Though there isn't much to buzz about yet.

Well Here is hoping for a little bit of ARG plot soon.

EDIT: I changed the address to http://dkrisesarg.blogspot.com/ for reasons that should be obvious. =p Also added a relevant links bar to the side.

Any ideas why the would be tweeting dead accounts? I got three tweets, and re-tweeted....all of them are blank accounts.
