Is there a link to the timer or something?

@PathosII changed their profile banner. I think it is new concept art.

Nice! Hopefully the uncropped versions of these banners will appear on the Dark Swarm site soon.

Regarding keeping track of the ARG via the Info Portal, Ash and I do plan to cover the ARG after it's finished, but not during. Only Ash and I edit the Portal, and adding a real-time, up-to-date accounting of an on-going event like this would be too much work for us both at the moment. Besides this, the Weebly platform itself is fucking awful, and using it for continual, real-time updates will be a nightmare, so steer clear of that place if you plan to make an ARG site. I recommend a Wiki-like page which anyone can edit directly. That way you can employ the efforts of everyone here and at 4chan/reddit, rather than the whole process being bottlenecked by having to go through me and Ash.

If you go to the terminal here:
http://somagame.com/YuXIm5/pathos2_cnsl/

You can type "cd wau" (no quotes) to enter the <wau> directory, then type "run count.exe" to view the countdown. I can't remember if you have to login as Reed first or not, though...

Code: (Select All)

run /wau/count.exe

I may not understand how to do anything to progress me through this site - since I missed all that - but I know basic command line interaction.

Code: (Select All)

>count.exe
01:01:46:20

Edit: In my Time Zone(GMT +10): Thursday, 28 May 2015 at 9:56:28 PM is when count.exe reaches 0.

Actually, if you are referring to the structure gel video, it showed up a couple of days ago in the ARG. It still is a pretty impressive number

[Damascus Rose]

it says published may 27

[Ashtoreth]

it says published may 27

The video was unlisted at first, the date must have changed when they made it public.

>run wau/count

Update: count hit negative...? No longer negative. Stuck at 00:00:00:00.
Now its a matter of figuring out the User name.
