I don't know if anyone else has been checking, but the notes in the source code are still changing. I don't know if it's changed more times than this.

-- What has she done --
-- She is dangerous --
-- They must be stopped --
-- They mustn't be stopped --
-- What of our plan? --
-- They will witness it soon --

-- It ends tommorow --
-- But we still have another --
-- The Gateway closes, it is not possible to maintain our presence here for long --
-- Do we have enough data --
-- We have sufficient stimuli response on the rest --
-- Then it will be decided on the first of the year --
-- Is one of their days long enough --
-- There is no other choice --
-- Let us begin --
-- Prepare the host --


----
ALSO! With the help of... everybody on this thread, I went through and gathered all the source-code notes I could find, and made a list. It's very-very long. All times are EST (because that's where I am), and EST is 3 hours ahead of the west coast. THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY WHO POSTED SOURCE CODE NOTES AND TRANSLATIONS!! I didn't do any of the translations and only contributed a few notes.

Examining incoming data. Timespace continuums steadily approaching critical point, gateway protocols initiated. Information still incomplete. Requesting further data for analysis.

ASOS Brigade website only displays this now:

Quote:
It happens tonight
An era ends yet begins
Gateway closes now


Polls are gone, video is gone, updates are gone. What are they up to now?

I bet the VA announcement for Haruhi and the rest is going to be the BIG one, and they're going to announce it through another video.

Thanks penguin! New source code too:

Quote:
-- Unable to maintain data stream, emergency stream dump initiated -->
--¡Á¡÷¡¡¡ô¡¡Í­¡¡Æñ¡¡¤¦¡¢¡¡³Ú¡¡¡¡¤·¡¡¡¨¤Ã¤¿¡£¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Ëô¡¡²ñ¡¡¤¨¡×¡¡¤Æ¡¡£´¡¡¤«¤Ã¤¿¡£º¸¡¡ÍÍ¡ö¡¡¤Ê¡¡¤é¡£ -->
-- NO CARRIER -->


I have no idea what that second note means o.o;

And this means I have to stay up until 3 am to see if something happens at 'midnight'! >.<

The second line is in EUC-JP, with a few junk characters mixed in. And yes, something will happen at midnight PST.

No vote for Haruhi? That's surprising. Unless they're still saving that.

Or unless they've had their Haruhi picked out from the beginning, and the midnight event is their announcement.

I think that they have already picked out the various voice actors and just want to see what the fans opinions are.

I still think I'm going to hit that site just before Midnight though...hope it doesn't crash!

With the quote above the countdown now reading:
Quote:
????.?> Setting has been reset to last week. Can only maintain for 24 hours. You must find her within that timeframe.

it feels to me that the all-important poll will be established at midnight PST and go down at that same time Tuesday.

Now it says...

It will reappear tommorow normally if all goes well. Do not fail.


I think it means that the old polls will reappear. Definately seems to be Haruhi's voice actor poll...

Boy, they sure are clever.

Anyway, I'm glad they're using the same timezone as the one I'm in. I don't have to do any math in my head.
