I am not sure, if it's related to our story though Smile

Also, about the Georgia.png image, I think it's not about the state or the country, since the whole site is written in Georgia font...

Yes, but i mean, Georgia is a default Windows font, and is used in the whole site. Alberta may be a font too, but I think it's unrelated as it's unseen on the site.

Coolson, your image is quite interesting. There's clearly a message in that one, and the fact that it is hosted on the site but not linked tends to confirm the theory of some riddle game.

Why do you have a formspring if you won't answer any questions?

We can only answer certain questions. More details will be revealed as it approaches.


Maybe everything is already hosted, and will be linked regularly until the 3 august. I think we should try to solve this one in advance.

They said:


''We're sorry, but we cannot accept your application at this time. Please feel free to help spread 8𠖥1 in you're area, whether it be by word of mouth, fliers, or online portals.
Also, I would ask that you please not try to get 4chan involved with this any more than it already is. We don't want their stigma associated with 8𠖥1.

Sorry
mate...
Until next time,
remember to check
for cars when crossing the
street.

~18,000''

I'm thinking maybe, instead of a denial it's a test... It seems more like a clue, the last bit is completely unnecessary and a little odd. Question

EDIT: does anyone see the word ''smufs'' down the side of that strange piece of text?
Are they just messing with me? Confused

>I replied to the previous message with:

''May i ask, why has my application been denied?
I mean, why should i spread the word if i can't even get involved?

And i will not tell 4chan (it was just a suggestion, because there are a lot of people there)''



>I then got another reply:

''We accept people that we feel have a good idea what the project is about. You did not. I'm sorry.

All will be known on 8𠖥1.

~18,000''


Shocked any ideas?

intriguing, the clear reference to "smurfs".
I also just noticed on the home page the footer now says "Copyfight" - I don't recall that 'typo' existing earlier. Confused

Definitely an acrostic.
Indeed, "The Smurfs" will be released on august, the 3rd.
But seriously, what the hell ?

And what about ~18,000'' ? Around 18,000 seconds (5 hours) ?

And yeah, i noticed the "copyfight" thing, but it seems to be an anti-copyright (see Wikipedia). I think we didn't see it before because it's light gray, and some "standard" detail.

And, by the way, which wrong guess of their "project" did you send them ?
