Honest question: how do you know all of this? Obviously your name suggests experience in this field but what is it exactly that you do? Asked purely out of curiosity.
Guys want to try again in 3 minutes?
It looks like this.
overlay of what has been posted after 10pm, yes it does look like it.
I don't see an infinity symbol in that overlay at all.
Picture got smaller than the 10 pm one...

Can you hear it? No, not yet. It has not yet arrived. But together we can receive its call.
Imagine combining the observations of thousands across the globe on an object meandering through the heavens. The resulting array would be quite large. Quite powerful. This is your task.
Alone it will not be enough. Coordination and timing is needed. Observations must be made simultaneously.
There will always be limitations in clarity, so the results must be archived for study. Highly technical observers may be required. Detailed frequency analysis is recommended."
Can anyone confirm if that image is perfectly symmetrical?
Yeah we need more people in on this.
Time for the IRC folks to call in the botnets.
So the image getting smaller confirms that it needs a large number of hits at the same time right?
Is that from Anathem, or something Bungie posted somewhere?These bits sounds startlingly like the plot to the Neal Stephenson book Anathem. I'm okay with this.
I disagree. Unless everyone reloads their node for a while the hits need to be within 5 minutes of each other.Yep. No specific time needed, just the traffic.
I disagree. I think there is something very specific about the timing.Yep. No specific time needed, just the traffic.
I think it's event driven, available at specific times but we have to rally the forces at that time to discover it.Can you hear it? No, not yet. It has not yet arrived. But together we can receive its call.

Ohhhh. Now I see it, haha.

I'm not saying that it can be spread over a day, just that the "10PM" thing had nothing to do with it.
That doesn't fit the pattern though. As the traffic to the site increased, the image increased.. however it was at it's most developed in the window of the 10pm event. 25 minutes later, the image decreased.
If it was overall hits the image should still be developing. It seems that large amounts of hits simultaneously are needed for development.
Your node will remain active for 5 minutes, but may be reactivated as necessary.
Distributed, synchronous effort required.

It must means when you log onto the site you activate a node (on the geomask picture) which lasts 5 mins, then disappears again.
agreed. Remember that the sites says "Distributed, synchronous effort required."

Concurrent number of Steam users seems to peak at around 11:00am, PST. Would that be the best time to try and coordinate a global strike on the ARG?
We need to plan ahead. Pick a date/time, spread the word, and see the results. Maybe 48 hours from now -- 8pm Pacific on Wednesday?
