In relation to my last post, I remember also that the Halo 3 ARG played on the Ancient Astronaut theory -- subsequently weaving in their plot (the mystery 'sigil' that was purportedly found in Africa, which was actually a symbol used in the series). The use of real life events or characters may not be entirely unusual -- but as this involves;

a. China
b. A middle-eastern military official

-- I must say I will remove myself from digging up any more information. In my mind, they've succeeded in arousing some interest; however, this plays on unfamiliar and -- for me -- dangerous ground.

Well, cheers! This has been fun.

Hey guys, yeah sorry I did log into that forum linked in the source code and posted to it, to see if they knew anything. Havent checked back, though.

I went to the website and entered my email, I dont give a #. It is a creepy website. Im just wondering how this throws U2s Bono a day off...

i,ve just gone through all the sites that were in rot13 and in someway thay all lead back to each other and to the same user names ,scotiblade and netninja...there is very little content that is supplied directly from the site, it is always from a user.

whatever they are selling i hope it dosent need the red monday name as i delive it is trademarked as a scotish IT company.

i EQed the mp3 file and the sound quality is too precise and does not eliminate enough high and low frequencys to be a small mic in a phone.

plus its in stereo , as already mentioned.

The noise at the end of the mp3 is the emergency alert system noise with a weird tone seq just before. 100 percent sure.

Hmm....i am too intrigued to not follow this. If it is indeed viral marketing, its one done at a good job IMO. I just might do the things its asking me to do for fun. Or IS IT just for fun.........

Intersting nevertheless......

And its so cryptic too......

Alright, most of this is jargon to me, could you inform me again what could happen on this date next month? Does it have to do w/ war, technology?

Given the basic theme of the materials that have been floating around, the former seems somewhat likely (in game, anyway).

I'm no code expert but this simple one jumped out at me.
It simply says "the code is gabriel".
That's my take on it.

not a bad piece of game promotion indeeed lets just hope its a really good game otherwise that will be a mass waste of time....

AFAIK, the poster Ayanami is just another player. But there could be more to it than that.

You hit the nail on the head there
I'm not going to lengths on here, but the above said name is also part of the crew that is working to solve this puzzle. I will keep that info confidential...

If you do feel the need to dig a little deeper, I suggest you check out the unfiction forums regarding this.

So Steve, what leads you to believe that this is a snare tactic?
