I'm american, and I have definitely heard the phrase "Christ almighty" before.

And then....

[Lawgiver]

This is probably dead, but I've lived in both Pennsylvania, California, and Utah and I've heard the phrase "Christ almighty" before in all of those states, I've also heard " Good God almighty" and "Bruce Almighty" too if that helps.

if searching a site like that one, it helps to spell it how they would. that would be allmighty, not almighty.

its a very common phrase.

[Kelis]

It is a very common phrase. As a matter of fact, I use it every time I try to figure out what that damn number means and get nothing!

It probably helps to spell it like it's spelled - almighty.

For information there were 32 examples of s**t and 1 example of holy s**t. There were also 12 examples of Jeez and 18 of cr*p.

As I said it is not conclusive and I never said it was never said in America, I just said I felt it jarred.

Personally, I don't think the card was ever directed at Unfiction. It was directed at people outside the ARG community to try to get them interested, and since we're all already playing it really wouldn't have mattered if we had never seen it here.

Sure, it gave us something to do and talk about (and that cursed number), but it never really gave us any information that we didn't already have, so I doubt that the PMs would have been too concerned if we didn't have a high-res scan straight away.

Yeah, that's why I said "Personally, I think..." instead of claiming it as fact.

I agree there is a chance that the couple of things on the card that haven't been solved yet (if they are solvable at all) could contain important game information, but I don't think that is likely judging by the rest of the card.

[tanner]

how many folks other than ARGers would have got the Hello World out of the building lights?

that why i think its meant for us

but i could be wrong and often am

[KSG]

I don't think that counts as evidence, because (unless I've missed something) we never actually needed to decode "hello world." It was just there. Even if it had been meant to draw the average person into the game, they might still have used that image, just because.

That said, I agree with you. The card was probably meant for ARGers. I think it's clear from the various ads that have been placed that the PMs have more effective means of getting attention.

I guess we'll never be sure until we know if that number meant anything....
