Normal. It’s a debug warning that the render took an unusual amount of time and is expected as the animation is a little janky.

A reference to it from the ARG is possibly specific/unique, but the error isn’t.
DNS error 1016 is a standard error. Cloudflare (as the ‘proxy’ service) is unable to resolve the A record IP correctly (for numerous possible normal reasons).
You can confirm some weirdness by using nslookup/dig/host (or whatever you prefer) to see what’s alive, what isn’t and where it is pointing. Currently the IPs on the A records are serving 403s.

Yes, I mention it in the post.

I understand that error 1016 is common… as a developer, I know that. But the issue is that the current ARG itself is literally pointing to both the error and possibly the WT page itself.
This is something to investigate, since such a reference implies that error 1016 could have been triggered (which is possible, but as I mentioned before… it’s either by the host administrator or the website owner with the necessary access).

OK then.

Fix the DNS A record so it points to your public IPv4 address.
-
Fix the DNS AAAA record so it points to your public IPv6 address.
-
Verify that the destination CNAME record actually exists and resolves correctly on the internet.
-
Check that your server’s IP address is public and spelled correctly.

Wasn’t expecting anybody to be doing ground-level IT support in this thread…

And that kinda seems like that is exactly what we should be doing. Stop solving puzzles and just do some good ole tech support.
Especially since there were already people theorizing that the old WT website is possibly being brought back…

First of all, good and auspicious days travelers, I hope you are enjoying the expedition, those of us on xbox will have to wait a little while.
On another note, I made something silly, but since in an ARG you should never rule out any possibility, I tried this on twitter:
@Skyscraper_prj
memory bloc 1779922802
System: Core
Status: SECURITY_PROTOCOL_FAILURE
Module: System_Filtering_Platform
grant_access_to
(And I added the link to this forum)
unfortunately I didn’t get a response (as I expected)

Hi all, you don’t need to post updates here, there’s a thread tracking them:
Yes, I think it too. But I tried so many different things. On a map (not a cipher): 
, indexes by letters differences: , (haven’t tried simple letters indexes tho), shuffling (anagram): , caesar: , I tried changing the distances between the countries in morse code, but I didn’t get anything interesting…
This enigm seems really interesting, if you find anything, don’t forget to ping me plsss!

Jeez. I spend a couple of hours playing the expedition, and when I come back, we’ve moved on to a new stage.
Does anyone actually know what was done to trigger the change?

No, the error 1016 is a common DNS error

I was just like you, but from what I’ve read, the System Filtering Platform got offline and peoples were able to connect

With the filtering system down, I wonder if we can finally answer this question.
Maybe we use this as an opportunity to repost on social media some of our attempts at interactions with the page again? Remember that’s how the poem was stabilized.

Yes, I’ve read all the posts since I was last here. Something happened, the system filtering platform went offline, and we were granted access.
The most obvious effect seems to be that the Project Skyscraper social media accounts (I’m using Bluesky) now have live links to the ARG game pages.
But did this happen because of our actions? Did we do something to cause this, or was it just scheduled to happen anyway?
Looking at the way the web pages are now accessed through social media, it looks as though this is how the game was intended to be played from the start.

The reboot was not originally scheduled, according to one of the posts. I believe we scheduled the reboot and initiated access during the reboot process, and in the process brought down the system filtering platform. Probably scheduled in a sense that it was known that we would try and initiate the reboot.
