I know, right?
But the PCV thing is a good point, and in any case it’s highly likely this is just an old ARG that resurfaced and caused some misguided enthusiasm. When was the website last updated?

True, but there isn’t any evidence that we’re not the first one to play it.
My guess would be that uploading the string about the inevitable RC scenario to the field studies “server” causes BMRF to close for this “thorough safety inspection”. A research facility wouldn’t announce on their website that a sceduled experiment will cause a catastrophy and thus the site (and the facility) is closed.
[edit] someone already checked the history of the BMRF site. CBA to find the link.
Yeah probably nothing, best to ignore it
I know, but that wouldn’t make a difference anyhow.
But we stopped the Resonance Cascade, guys! You should be happy!
Edit: fff ninjas. I was talking to Andy0101.
that explains the quote at the bottom of the locked page…
Your efforts will be unknown, your name never spoken, however you will forever live on in our hearts and minds as the hero of our present.
Know that you eternally stand shoulder to shoulder with the free man.

Oh, who would like to collaborate on the website? [COLOR=‘black’]riot
I am. I wasn’t arguing against the point being used to prove the ARG isn’t BM’s, but rather that it was not in development at the time of the incident, as it was used by all the marines in OP4, including Shepard, as seen on the HD grunt model.
Edit: for some reason I’m now wondering if digital time travel requires an internet connection, and if it’s still up after the Combine came.
Somebody should drop an email to the creator of this ARG. That Trevor Brennan guy, I mean…
FUCK! IS it over? GOD DANG IT! It was a very good game
Well, on the off chance he was contacted by the BM dev team to tease us for the release, do you think he would tell you?
And what happens on the 25th?!?
nothing methinks it’s over
I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
Interstingly, Olivia Wilkins does exist, but not in the exact same context as in this ARG:

Edit: https://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/123513531/abstract
Edit: She’s also a teenage girl, but that’s not significant at all.
My guess is, the RC either happens or not. Not sure, how we would be informed if the RC did happen, though. We didn’t stop it last month…
Wait, how does a monthly looped ARG even work?
Also, somebody email bmi.arg@gmail.com Maybe attach the cookie to prove we’ve solved it (by ‘we’ I mean Narthorn, of course)
I dunno. Maybe the website shuts down and gives emergency messages and stuff if you haven’t hacked it yet and have the cookie.
Edit: But I think we’ve disproved the possibility of BM having anything to do with this. I bet the admins haven’t moved it to the HL section yet because they’re watching us look for any clue to BM’s release date in vain, laughing with evil glee.
Isn’t getting the cookie = preventing RC = solving the ARG?
Are there any loose ends left suggesting there’s more to this?
Well, duh!
That’s what I just said. If you have the cookie, the “RC” won’t happen.
We’re discussing one: the 25th of this month.
Thats not what you just said. Replacing “have” with “got” in your post does explain it, though…
Fair enough.
Er, yeah. Minor grammatical slip-up there. I should have said “…if you haven’t hacked it yet and don’t have the cookie.”
Edit: I think this is proof this thread has dried up. There’s nothing to do but wait until the 25th (Why must everything good happen in the future?!) and update the website. [COLOR=‘Black’]cough cough
