I already posted in the window tracker thread, but figured i’d update here, too; i just got my window confirmation email for 11113.

Fun little meta-tidbit, because
1: some users got their confirmations yesterday despite it being a sunday,
2: i sent the email around 5pm MDT yesterday but only got the response this morning,

One can infer whichever entity (read: real-world ARG manager) is behind project-skyscraper has a typical active cycle that starts somewhere around the top of this current hour (~7am MDT, or 1pm UTC).

On the one hand, one could further assume that this means project skyscraper is being handled by someone whose workday just started (which, assuming a regular workday schedule of 9a-5p implies they’re located on the east coast of the US (or central canada/south america; UTC-6 if i’m time zoning correctly?)

On the other hand its also just after lunch for anyone in , say, Guildford / Cambridge, UK (14:30). ANd there’s no proof i’m the first email out or anything, either. But hey, I had to justify cross-posting in two threads somehow, right? :wink:

Some folk have been tracking the PM’s activity for a while now, particularly @Vau1t .

There seems to be at least 2 people playing Archie/System etc in shifts. An EU and a NA agent.

Still no solid confirmation that the ARG is official (HG hiring an ARG company), fan based, or something in the middle (like fans approaching HG with the idea of an ARG for NMS10).

Regardless of the result, it’s been fun fun fun. Brought so many of us travellers from various communities together for a common goal once again :slight_smile:

Anybody ever stop and think at one time every pixel represents a player. We are looking at a representation of what 213k players look like. That’s crazy

When it very first started populating I though it was a star field, it looked like it might be that sort of scale.

Yes, and VC has a huge task ahead if they all want a colour, not envious.

It’s a little messy and there’s a couple gaps where my process didn’t capture the Architect’s ETARC activity (and a big gap when they took an intentional break), but here’s a graph of the Architect’s activity based on 12 samples an hour and represented in UTC time:
