  • I think an issue may be the way the nodes light up. If Australia is as key a piece as we think it is, even with a good turnout from the area we may end up not lighting up the proper sector because Australia's population is pretty much entirely coastal. We'd always be missing the middle of whatever sector they light up.

      Here's what I'm doing to keep the activity up. I'm using a tool called Selenium to record and playback activity. I have it setup right now to open the ARG, enter the correct glyph, and then restart the process after a minute. It's fire and forget, and doesn't even take away focus of your work while it is running in the background. Step 1. Download Firefox. Step 2. Download [url=http://release.seleniumhq.org/selenium-ide/1.10.0/selenium-ide-1.10.0.xpi]Selenium IDE for Firefox[/url] and install it. Step 3. Download [url=https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/flow-control/]Flow Control for Selenium IDE[/url] and install it. Step 4. Download [url=http://db.tt/7ZX3Dgde]Test Case[/url]. Step 5. Start Selenium (Firefox Menu->Web Developer->Selenium IDE), and Open the Test Case file. Step 6. Success...

              Does this ARG seem.... i dont know... a bit pointless to anyone else? [url=http://www.ilovebees.com]ILB[/url] worked because no one knew what it was. It was insanely cryptic and only those dedicated to the ARG had any any clue that Bungie was behind it or that it was leading to a new Halo game. With Iris, everyone expected a third Halo so the shock-and-awe aspect was out the window. Iris worked because it was [i]truly[/i] viral. It started with emails, moved to the forums and website and was perpetuated by cryptic posts by "AI" users on b.net. The puzzles were very interactive and people who solved them were "[i]rewarded[/i]" for their efforts. (As far as I know, some users are still awaiting prizes. lol) Now we have this... We already know what it is. (Hell, every unlocked image is marked "Bungie" and "Destiny".) We already know when it will end. We already know what's waiting on the other side (Granted, we don't know exactly how the ARG will end -- I'm sure there will be some "holy crap" moment in one of the images -- but we know what it's leading to); we [i]know[/i] Bungie will reveal their new game "Destiny" on Sunday, February 17. They've told us on facebook and twitter, and many gaming sites have featured stories about the release already. I just don't see the point of this one. There isn't even any challenge to it. It's not a puzzle, it's just a coordinated effort. The only hard part about it (after the initial breakthrough of FF Transforming the images) is managing to get enough people online at the same time... which is not fun; just frustrating. The process has been automated now as well! No one even needs to do [i]anything[/i]! Just click the buttons every five minutes and you're done. In a few hours, out pops another image. And what if we don't get the link in time? We miss out on a chunk of a narrative? (Actually, not quite... you can still go back and complete previous days. We'd just need to coordinate again at a later date. It's just delayed.) So what?! I get it: it's probably related to Destiny's back story. But we're going to learn that in four days anyway! What is the point? (brb gotta click the things again) Where was I? Oh, right. Guys! Bungie's new game is coming out soon! This is so exciting! I can't wait for Sunday!

                                  • New Theory based off the added phrase to the instructions page yesterday: [quote]Think not of locations, but the spacings between, as seen from each target. While one hemisphere provides a strong center, the other must heed the call in order to bring light to the unknown[/quote] Imagine for a second that each person adds a dot to a real world map back on Bungie's servers - not the dotted image on the right side of each day's puzzle. Now imagine that each pair of dots on the hidden map give a magnitude. Two people in the center of the US would have a small magnitude (Line A - B). But if someone logged in from Australia (C)there would now be 3 magnitudes {A-B, A-C, B - C}. One small magnitude from A-B, and two very large magnitudes A-C and B-C. This could populate the dotted visible image with 3 dots. One dot near the center and two dots near the edge of the image (given some rotation possibly based on time of day). Now imagine you have a cluster of people within the US. All you need is 1 person to log on from Australia and then you instantly get a cluster of points near the outer region of the image because you automatically gain the magnitudes from that one person to the entire cluster of people within the US. So like the instructions say it's not about the location. It's about the spaces between the location that allow us to see different areas. The hemisphere part is only slightly relevant just because you can't get any further apart from another single person than half the world. So it may not just be we need people in the southern hemisphere. Another possible method for getting rotation would be that you actually use the direction from person 1 to person 2 and use that vector to populate a dot. (You automatically get the positive and negative vector which makes since since the FFT is mirrored that way anyways) I don't know if this changes anything but I would be interested in setting up some experiments on the earlier day's puzzles to test out this theory if someone is interested.
