If they want to claim back their old Persian grounds it does.

But on your picture you can see the poles on the horizontal road, but not on "my road". Edit: Another pic not showing poles: http://www.ert.gr/aerialphoto/photos/big_new/airport/airport34.jpg

Ok, the poles are either photoshopped in or mounted after the Google satellite took the pictures. I assume the picture is taken around here: http://rakrul.grimtask.com/lemnos1.png Now if you look at the terminal you can see shadows from the various poles there: http://rakrul.grimtask.com/lemnos2.png but if you look at the road, there are no shadows there: http://rakrul.grimtask.com/lemnos3.png Edit: I guess the 5 lines that are terminated to the middle of the pole, not being connected to anything, might be of significance?

So do we assume that the pic is from BIS' research trip or is it ingame?

According to wiki it's 477km2 so if it was a square it would be ~22x22km of landmass. How big is OA? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemnos

So is that a real picture with a chopper PS'ed in, or is this screenshot from the Awesome New Engine?

He was referring to Reddit to stop the spam... http://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/ It's not related to this...

Darius seems to be the first persian who invaded Greece. I don't understand why these persians who keep claiming that Persia will rise again and other nationalistic propaganda is using chinese signs in their propaganda...

They might have taken to heart what we discussed in a thread here some time ago, how the feeling in OFP was much better than in the Arma-series since you basically get everything handed to you and you're the most powerful in Arma. In OFP you were outnumbered and under-equipped and if you got a weapon with something other than iron-sights you felt like God. Here we might be some greek resistance fighthers fighting Iran which, probably after yet another revolution, is seeking to recoup the old persian empire. It doesn't add up with Miller though. Also, isn't Turkey in Nato now?

Well good for you that you think the ARG is absolutely perfect. Those of us who don't, would like to give some feedback so a future ARG would be more entertaining to us as well. For the record, I agree with you on the last sentence and I assume constructive criticism won't be deleted. I think it started off awesome, but since you're not able to tie the hints together you feel like there's no progress although the hacks are solved.

This ARG is turning into Lost season 2. I really like the idea behind it, but it's 7 hacks leading to 7 different directions. There's nothing you can conclude from it, which is kind of frustrating. Also AAN hasn't been updated in a week so we got no confirmation that we got it all. Although I suspect they're letting the wiki handle it now, there's no real confirmation. It's like Sudoku with one number filled in.

That's the real iranian hackers, not related to this...

Jesus unuldor, you got a lot of traveling ahead of you! ;)

Has AAN-online been hacked yet? Maybe they're next? (Nothing new there now though.)

It will also accept YoMama as a user if you want to go down that path. As a security measure it doesn't tell you if the username is valid or not. Then you could just brute-force the usernames and be halfway there. Now you need to nail both UID and PWD. ---------- Post added at 03:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 PM ---------- Uhm, unless you're physically in the same room as the server you need to hack the host and mirror the traffic to you through a tunnel which is no small feat. You can't just sniff the traffic of random IPs on the internet. What a security nightmare that would've been... Edit: Or, ofcourse, if you have remote access to server then you could install and run it there, but then there wouldn't be much point.

I think it's just a history resumé that will be relevant to whatever new product BIS will give you. It could also mean the end of Ten Rules of War. ;)

I've tried different combos of miller/Miller/scott/Scott/smiller etc with various dates 220692/22JUN92/221155 etc to no avail, but it would seem odd that it would be a valid login since it would imply that Scott logs into the hackers FTP. So I doubt that's a valid login, maybe p8h8 for username and 220692 or similar as PW.

I've read every single post here, I just forgot that it was renamed as I was too focused on the mkdoc-website back then (another dead-end of mine). It was a lot of pages ago after all. :)Anyways, although the mkultra/search project was real, mind-control in any real essence is still sci-fi.

D'oh! Wrong again on my part then. But I hope we won't see any mind control operations or other sci-fi things.

It only refers to MKSEARCH where MK = CIA. The mind control experiment was called MKULTRA and is not mentioned on the map so no mind control or other alien conspiracies. ;) I also think it's a bit far fetched that Iran will join in the invasion other than some puppetmaster-role with intelligence and spec-ops. Does China deliver hardware to Iran? My guess is that we start the game/expansion with US/UK soldiers being run out of Turkey by Iranians and then we have to defend Greece to halt the invasion of Europe. Then again I've been way off in every theory I have in this thread...

Have anyone looked at the thread IDs he posted in? i.e. are some of the threads old that was revived because the thread# matched something?

F... me, I suck at this stuff....

Someone else stated that the font used on the map-page is BIS', so you probably won't find a matching book.

Guys, "the code" is just the youtube URLs. You put in the "code" to youtube you got the videoes and the time stamp and then you get the words. It's just a hint, like the map and the sub. They're not providing us with 8 layers of hints. We solved the thrid hack, now we have to wait for the 4th one. Cheesy countdown clock here: http://grimtask.com/

Ok I surrender my cipher-path. :) From the youtube videoes: Broke out of every prison Man, I don't know (?! doesn't make sense) If you've ever seen a scarecrow, then you've seen me So obviously a scarecrow-looking person broke out of every prison. The second line (Rhianna) doesn't make any sense. It could be someone we know from earlier or a new villain in whatever new product BIS is tormenting us with.
