ArmA 3: new ARG - Things we know so far.

[Iroquois Pliskin 0]

I don't know how much more progress we can really make until Tuesday. In our inbox, we have another message that says we have to meet an informant at the Lighthouse Restaurant between March 5th and March 8th.

I'm guessing that's in-game and that on March 8th that informant could disappear... through a patch.

Yup, that's what I'm thinking. It could also be hardcoded to "disappear" on the 8th without a patch needing to be pushed.

Their profits are going to be through the roof with the amount of mojito-melteme's being ordered...

Tbh, seeing that Steam can update everyone's copy at the same time, could be a patch. :p Pretty cool if it's a timer, tho.

Just like to say thank you to everyone who's helped with this! Too bad I suck at this kind of thing, but its interesting seeing whats at the next stage... and the way they've put this together is pretty damn amazing.

Someone find out how to access it.

ln /sbin/sendmail

sendmail /folder/guide.pdf

Its nothing important though

But players can also run offline, which would prevent updates. They may or may not have it hardcoded, but if they wanted the informant to disappear regardless whether or not someone is online that's probably how they'd go about it.

Rifle manual. Guide etc ?

Hmm. What's .htaccess?

But when did those 'few weeks start'? That message could have been there for a while now, unless it takes action from the first public image of it? Who knows...

That's the ASL/elevation... don't ask me how I know. :) Camp Maxwell is higher still, and that hill just South of it is third-highest on the Southern half of Stratis.

Plus its not super spooky secret map, its the southern end of Stratis.
