Yeah, this is gonna be a long month or so. Haven't really been around or anything since ilovebees, so I had no idea about this one. As soon as the site's back up, I'm gonna join the ARGolonist colony.

By the way, i duno if anyone's mentioned this exactly because I only read 2 or three pages (getting tired). Anyhow, here's how i think it "works".

1: They said that it can't be done alone. Well, since there are 36 locations (around the world), that's probably the reason.

2: I think that someone from the team must post one of the fliers up at that location (one of the 36) and take a picture of it and put it on human clock. Not sure exactly on that part though.

Again, I haven't read everything yet. i will tomorrow when I am more conscious.

You would think that microsoft would be able to better anticipate the amount of traffic that would come to the website and be better prepared for it. It's kinda pathetic that they can't keep the site up and running when it is the one of the largest corporations in the world.

It's probably not Microsoft per-say that is running this server or game; most likely it's another company contracted out by MS who underestimated their hardware and software needs.

Give it time.

from what ive seen and heard, it sounds like microsoft might release a lil spoiler about Xbox 2/Next/Xenon/360/whatever when the timer ends.


I hope so, if that is what you want to happen. Just, please don't be too let down if that is just an unfounded rumour.

I would think that a experienced PM team, like 4orty2wo, would be able to anticipate the onslaught. Has it been confirmed that they are doing this? Not that they would confirm it....

They limited login names to 8 characters? So now Mukaikubo can't log in.

Frelling joy.


EDIT: WTF? Did they reset everything?

Just wondering... >.>

Hey, I'm a new member of the Argolonists. I was just wondering if anyone knew that "gamem8ker" is an Xbox Live member as well. I'm going to add him to my list and try to catch him/her online tomorrow. Also, when did this ARG officially begin? "gamem8ker" has been a member on bungie.net as of 3/14/2005 and I'm suspicious as of the credibility of the name.

EDIT: And... they're also a member on IGN.com... I guess this is redundant ^^;

I'm new too. I know, you've got a heavy influx of people and such, but out of the teams this seemed more interesting, and reading up on ARG and UNFiction, i think i've found something i'll enjoy past the whole colony incident (other than endless nights on World of Warcraft Embarassed ).

Boy houdy!

I just made a few seperate posts on these subjects. Since Our Colony now has a folder, I figure it's best to start giving things their own threads so we don't have to slog though this one to find info.

AS i write this ALL directories and files have been deleted at approx 6:07 EST (Sydney, Australia) Now there is just a blank page with the follwing words: "The Colony is growing quickly. Please be patient." Which promted me to goto www.thecolony.net which was nothing...... The source of the page has the creator as Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 7.1 The site also is running: win19843 Microsoft FTP Service (Version 5.0). so it gives me the idea that it is a proper MS server and marketing campain. Afer more snooping around i have discovered a mirror located at http://130.94.21.178 which is online and seems to be a mirror. When you type in anything it gives an error and re-directs the page with the The colony is growing blah blah page. This seems like fun Very Happy Ill keep looking around and post what i find.

EDIT: http://130.94.21.178/register/team.aspx register a new team. Just had a look the brotherhood is way infront unfortunately. Im joining the ARGologists by the way.The gallery looks interesting some pics in there which are intriging.

EDIT AGAIN: Well 40 min after it was taken offline it is back again. The leader board is a little stuffed up but apart from that it seems fine. Nup down after 4 minutes giving an error when registering..

Exact countdown date/time

I'm new here but I'd thought that I'd just throw this in.
The exact time that the countdown is aiming for (as per the javascript) is:
May 12, 2005 20:00:00

I'll join ARGoligists when things calm down a bit.
