If the game were in session, and we weren't e-mailed about it, what were we actually giving them our addresses for? I mean, sure, there are a million possible answers, but I still think that telling us when the game starts makes more sense.

More to the point, if we were stuck on a clue (such as the ...484848... number) for this long, they would give us some prodding in the right direction. They've done that before. So far, they haven't even done so much as tell us that it is a clue. This leads me to believe that if it's a clue, it's one we're not meant to understand yet.

I'm going to take the wishful thinking approach, and agree with the 22/1/5 (next Saturday) theory.

In reply to KSG.
As puppet masters are they obliged to prod us in the right direction?
Also I have doubts as to the validity of the email form which I raised in another topic thread. The crux of which is I think there may be a code to enter in this field that takes us elsewhere.

I can agree with your view though. I have no evidence yet to back this spec up, just a 'something doesn't seem right feeling' which doesn't account for much.

Hey if nothing else I'm keeping busy until it does start.

[KSG]

They're not obliged to prod us, it's just that they did in the pre-game. I figure if we are missing a clue, we've been missing it for about a month (?), so they're probably getting impatient with us.

I didn't see your post about the e-mail form, but that's an interesting theory.

Can't blame you for wanting to kill time, either. I hate waiting.

[mr_good_trips]

Trouble is, with killing time, I don't consider myself particualrly gifted in the arts of encryption but I could think of so many ways that the number could be encrypted.
I have broken it down into pairs etc pairs using alternate numbers.
Could certain numbers be page numbes from alice in wonderland perhaps(given the lewis carrol link)
is it possible that the sums of the revealed pairs give us some clue
see its got me so mad ive come over all ee cumming

Actually one thing I did notice in it all that I haven't seen posted is that the 2210 could be seperated into 22 and 10.
Then seperating the long number at the instances of these numbers you get 2 new numbers
221545484848465 and 100503215. How do these relate to one another.

Aaaaaarghhhhhhh

I'm going to agree on it being this saturday - because I have an interview for a science thing - and that would be the most annoying day for me!

Munchkin-There we have it! Murphey's Law clearly states that the game will begin in one week!

mr_good_tips-Gah! Like that code wasn't unsolvable enough, now we get to solve it and the relevance to 2210!

Sorry I see you are american, do they have darts over there?
Its a british pub game. Three darts are thrown at a board that is divided into numbers from one to twenty. Each numbered section then has a double and treble zone. ie 20 40 60 if you see what I mean. Also there is a 25 and 50 point bullseye in the middle.
So any number from 1 to 20, it's double, it's treble, or 25 and 50 can be scored with a single dart.
46 cannot.
There you go. An evening in a british pub.

Mr. Good Trips, not only does America indeed have darts, we have also made games for them. The one I p[rogrammed was for the nintendo system. Look for it in the classics

[Slithy]

Yep, it's not as popular here as it is in G.B., but most bars here have a dartboard or two.

Back in the day, I used to like to hit the bars and play a few rounds of cricket with my friends.

There is simply nothing more fun than consuming mass quantities of alcoholic beverages while, at the same time, throwing sharp, pointy projectiles across a crowded bar room.
