Wow. Been away from ARGs since Aware 2, played the Da Vinci Code and Kyle XY though (really got into XY).
I love the production on this, just the right thing to get me back in the game.
So should I do the old routine of mirroring+crawling and SWF decompiling? I looked around, don't think I saw a hint of that (Sorry if I missed it.)

Speaking of paper token.

Where my mind is right now.

I got excited and thought this was the key to a substitution code, but there's duplication of letters. Maybe Redemption isn't the right word?


I'm an arg nub. I'm bound to have misfires everywhere. I do think there is something to this phrase and it 's spacing. I just don't know what yet.

By all means, check out other words.

Also my laptop's power cable is busted so no more image edits for me for a bit, but playing with the image as is fading things in and out and not including vitruvian man, it does look a lot like the gyroscopic vehicle from the one commercial with a person in it and everything.

I'm just surprised I'm the image edit whiz so to speak working on this. I woulda thought there woulda been at least a dozen people well versed in photoshop who woulda already worked all this shiz.

 		^^ The nature of ARGs means everyone will misfire, I feel that's supposed to happen- if it doesn't, you're not going hogwild enough! Very Happy
A crawler goes through all links available on a site to get every page visit-able, mirroring downloads a solid copy of the website to compare to future changes later on (For example, the stuff that was added today would be very visibly different when compared to how the site looked last night.)
Decompiling would pull out all the resources in a .swf file, allowing anyone to look for hidden images, unused resources, etc.
I went through the intro.swf and icefly.swf, nothing too fancy, and certainly nothing game changing, but I got a newfound appreciation for the work that went into animating the icefly itself. It's art.

 		Think it's a rent-a-line/monthly/annual payment, and those other extensions are other paying customers unrelated to this? I haven't called and used extensions, I couldn't leave a voicemail (pressing 2 to leave a voice messages instantly gets me "Voice message sent." and it hangs up on me.

 		ditto. alot of ppl are saying these are older arg lines...but i wonder why they are connected to this? and if they aren't, why didn't they fix the number before they gave it to us?

 		Probably something to do with the 'DECOY' thing mentioned earlier. All the sites are there to throw us off track?

 		Idk if this was brought up, I haven't seen anything about it, but someone on twitter said that there was morse code at the end of the phone message when you dial 786. Got exhibit24.net. Once in you can login with the info there and look at the files and links. Definitely related since the phone call message is on there.
