Seventeen days until... Something...

Maybe it'll be eon8-ish?

Who knows.

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is officially freaky. and whats even more weird is that different countdowns happen when you roll over different areas.

What the hell are the other countdowns for?

this is officially freaky. and whats even more weird is that different countdowns happen when you roll over different areas.

More like six.

What the hell are the other countdowns for?

i dunno. i hardly even understand what this "purification" thing is.

Aww shit... There's SIX countdowns! The one in the lower left has only 16 hours left on it...

More like six.

i did not say anything about how many.

this is officially freaky. and whats even more weird is that different countdowns happen when you roll over different areas.

It's "freaky" because of what it tells you and what it doesn't. Like horror movies. It's probably just a joke.

Aww shit... There's SIX countdowns! The one in the lower left has only 16 hours left on it...

all of the small countdowns have the same number in the hours section.

yeah. and look what else I found:

Well, I know I'll be waiting for 18:00 GMT today, the 1st November, the 6th November, the 9th November, the 11th November, and 05:00 GMT on the 15th November. Though probably all that'll happen at those times is that that website will be updated.

Just ask him what it's all about. (http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thepurification.org%2F)

Aww shit... There's SIX countdowns! The one in the lower left has only 16 hours left on it...

less than that now.

Fucking riddles...

Fucking riddles...
yeah. that design with the two squares may also be part of this. why must it be so cryptic?

Well, I've figured out that with each mini-countdown expiring, one of the info boxes shows up.

Bastards telling us bit by bit what it is...

Well, I've figured out that with each mini-countdown expiring, one of the info boxes shows up.
That makes sense, what with the arrangement of them...

Still doesn't explain what's so special about 05:00 GMT on the 15th November. Though that would be 00:00 EST, am I right?

According to Wikipedia, 15th November 2006 is the 50th anniversary of the release of Elvis Presley's first film. Also, 15th November is Palestine Independence Day...

Well, I've figured out that with each mini-countdown expiring, one of the info boxes shows up.

so we should find soomething out relatively soon.

Not to mention signing of the Articles of Confederation... The first private catholic school opening... NBC starts up... First Geneva Convention is held... Shit... A lot of crap happened on the 15th...

Not to mention signing of the Articles of Confederation... The first private catholic school opening... NBC starts up... First Geneva Convention is held... Shit... A lot of crap happened on the 15th...

lot's of crap happens on any day. it's just that not all of it makes the news.

Not to mention signing of the Articles of Confederation... The first private catholic school opening... NBC starts up... First Geneva Convention is held... Shit... A lot of crap happened on the 15th...
I was just going with events with a significant anniversary this year (so like 10 years, 25 years, 50, 100, 250, 1000, etc.)

Well, I've figured out that with each mini-countdown expiring, one of the info boxes shows up.

Bastards telling us bit by bit what it is...

now, they said nothing about what it is, just why.

now, they said nothing about what it is, just why.

What will probably be last.

Where will probably be next.

How somewhere in the middle.

There's still two spots left...

Probably just some marketing gimmic for the release of a new game.
hohum

Well, it's either a genocidal neo-nazi ( :P ), or another silly Eon-8 experiment.

That, or it could be one of those Reality Game things. I know Halo did one.

Possibly Halo 3? Microsoft may be trying to rush it out for the Christmas market (especially if it can be used to hurt PS3's sales).

Old!

It's already been done before

OMG! only 4 hours left on the countdown in the bottom corner.

this is actually kind of exciting.



What do you think its advertising?

this is actually kind of exciting.



What do you think its advertising?

we will eventually find out. btw, less then 2 hours left in the bottom corner.

i dunno. i hardly even understand what this "purification" thing is.

It is the day Fred Phelps will die and the earth will be purified of him. :D

Never know, COULD be Halo 3. The Covenant do conquer Earth in that one, so that might be what the Purification is.

Then again, maybe not. It's probably Kevin Federline's new cologne or something.

Also, we know his phone number. I think you Yanks know what to do. *hands phone*

halo 3 is not coming out until 2007

What's all this about Halo 3? It's not coming till 07, isn't it?

What's all this about Halo 3? It's not coming till 07, isn't it?

no. then it would have come out 999 years ago. it is coming out in 2007.

Ok guys, listen. This is different from Eon8. In Eon8, they told us NOTHING. Here there's actually a plausible name to the thing, and they are slowly revealing information to us. This is entirely different from Eon8. And I checked, no big games or movies are coming out on the day the big countdown ends. This isn't some release gimmick.

only one hour until we get more info.


but it ight be useless and there will be 3 days to the next.

this is officially freaky. and whats even more weird is that different countdowns happen when you roll over different areas.
More like six.

Six

http://www.io.com/~jkweston/gif2/prisoner.jpg

is freaky.

Heh, I watched an episode of The Prisoner recently (I think it was near the end). Absolutely hilarious. They were trying to persuade him he was #5, not #6, and at one point they had a conversation along the lines of this...

#2: "5!"
#6: "6!"
#2: "5!"
#6: "6!"
#2: "5!"
#6: "6!"
#2: "5!"
#6: "6!"

...getting steadily louder all the time.

Half an hour until we get more info...

20 minutes....Oh well time to don a tramp costume and break out the ol' "end is nigh!" sign!

I googled the URL, look at this:

wierd, but at least our cats are safe.

17 minutes to go, bottom left

Best limited-run series - ever.

Aww shit... There's SIX countdowns! The one in the lower left has only 16 hours left on it...

There are 8 count-downs, upper left, upper right, lower left and lower right and between all of those there's another one. And number nine is the big one;)

I still wonder what "<--! [Post Declarative Communication] A paradox A labyrinth A cartograph to show the way Alterations are needed Disorganize to communicate Your cats are safe The End is the Beginning --> " is supposed to mean.

All I can think of is mass genocide.....

does anyone know what neurocam is yet?
I can tell you what it isn't...:p

What:

Earth. Sky. Heaven. They will all see people renewed. Redeemed from the corruption of what was once held as sacred. This is the time of restoration for the many who once stood, immovable from the truth.

but google the purification prings that page up.

Bottom left countdown done. Replaced by rollover with text
Earth. Sky. Heaven. They will all see a people renewed. Redeemed from the corruption of what was once held sacred. This is the time of restoration for the many who once stood, immovable from truth.

Next one is coming in three days. It's the one on the right.

might be some wacko fundie thing since it says "the corruption of what once was sacred".

Next one is coming in three days. It's the one on the right.

and it will proly just restate one of the previous ones, like it was with "what", which just popped up.

I can tell you what it isn't...:p

well so long as it all stays in austrlia...

Halloween in most places

This is either a cunning dig at the average intelligence of people from Arkansas, or posted by someone who hasn't had a look at the website. I'm not sure which...

Halloween in most places

well it is definately NOT counting down to halloween.

umm, when i look at this countdown thing there are only four smaller countdown and in the corners the info boxes appear in the same way the countdowns do. they don't really say much, just gibberish really.

um... we already know that. whan each of the smaller countdowns ends, it is replaced with an infobox, containing more gibberish. what is confusing us is that above that flash thing, which reads: <--!

Might be both. Or neither. I might not know when Halloween is. You might not know what I meant. It is all very mysterious with no easy solution.

someone said there were 6 countdowns though. and then later on someone else said there were 8.

There's 8 countdowns TOTAL. There's 4 left. There were 5 six hours ago.

oh alright then

There's 8 countdowns TOTAL. There's 4 left. There were 5 six hours ago.
There were 9 countdowns originally - the 8 hidden ones, of which four have now been revealed, and the one in the centre. So there are now 5.

Really? This is light entertainment to me. I'm interested in where it's leading, but I fully expect it to be some sort of pseudo-religious hoax.

I hope I get eaten first. Well, reasonably close to first. Hopefully.

Nah, it'll be some rubbish computer game or film.

Listen!

Does it actually seem like it's counting down to a game or a movie? No.

Are any games or films being scheduled to be released on the date? No.

If anything, it sounds more like a prediction of some apoclyptic event.

What it seems like is totally subjective. If a game were to be released on that date, there would be no need for the mystery. People are predicting all the same things as they were with Eon8. Like I said, OLD, it's been done before. However, this attempt to suck popularity out of something already done exactly the same, is being successful it seems.

I don't think anyone would try to redo Eon8 so soon after it finished, simply because so many people would just dismiss it as 'another Eon8'. Unless the guy behind it is a moron. Or an evil genius. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish the two.

I can't believe how seriously you're taking this. :p

I don't think anyone's ever said welcome to General to me...:(

I hope I get eaten first. Well, reasonably close to first. Hopefully.

and why is that?

Thanks. You're only about 9 months late.
so you don't realise that when you say it late, it is usually an idiomatic expresion meaning "it happens all the time here"

I don't think anyone's ever said welcome to General to me...:(
Welcome to General. :p

Welcome to General. :p
I somehow knew you'd say that, and I was considering putting in my previous post that I don't want to be welcomed here by someone who's been here less than half as long as I have. But never mind. :)

and why is that?

This (http://www.piratejesus.com/nerdcore/data/cthulhu/) is why.

You can fetch your own coat.

When I have finished building my fantastic super glorious sparkling time machine, it is I who will have been here the longer!

*Manic laughter*

I'm surprised that nobody here found this or mentioned it. http://ask.metafilter.com/mefi/47757
The post is very long, but they already found out what all of the counter's says with the exception of the last one among many other things. Whoever made the countdown, has been reading their posts, and that's why it says your cats are safe.

How could you do that?! I even put a smiley face at the end of my post to show I was being nice. :( You've made me all sad again.

And I never had a coat! Ha ha! (It's the small victories I gets the most pleasure from).

Ok, you do that. I'll just stay here and wait for the point where your two accounts on this forum meet and implode. :D

Those people are crazy.

let's see if they are right, and take a look at what happens when the right countdown expires.

Oddly enough, that countdown coincides with a party I'm throwing for a friend of mine. :)

The proliferations of glitz will not overcome those who believe
PM is an unbeliever :p

what the hell? it was on 17 days more than a day ago and still is...


Also, the bottom left one hasn't appeared for me and should have by now..


And when I re-open the page in another tab, I get different times between them. It's fucking up..

November 15 is also my birthday. This year, i turn 22.

While I am mostly used to just lurking these forums, I cannot resist to chip in that 15th November is also my birthday when I become 23. Fortunately as far as I know I have born AM 5:44 GMT which is 44 minutes later than that countdown.

But that countdown is scary. I hope there is not anything that they know what I don't. No spoiling my birthday :)

And that thing IS intriguing.
