[TRAILHEAD] The White Island Ibiza clubbing ARG its all gone a bit Pete Tong, as he's lost some tunes!

meta site?

guardian news about it:

Seems to be made by the same people who did the Occular Effect Arg.

Taking in hundreds of club nights and parties around Europe, thousands of clubbers and players, ancient mystical forces and a thrilling mystery, the White Island is set to be the talk of this year’s summer of dance music.
The White Island is the most ambitious ARG, or Alternate Reality Game, ever attempted. Based around the biggest dance music events and the hottest clubs and DJs of summer 2008, the game asks players from across the world to help solve the mystery behind a series of events that could threaten the very soul of Ibiza.
From the terrace of Space and the dance floor of Wonderland to the Summer’s biggest festivals, a cast of thousands of dance music fans will follow clues, solve puzzles and have the biggest summer of their life as they follow the story online and through a variety of multimedia.
if you register and login, you get to a puzzle page, which even a clubber thats been up for 24 hours on a variety of chemicals would be able to solve, assuming they have their eyes open. It leads to next part of the story:

I registered and decompile the flash page from http://www.thewhiteisland.com/puzzle.php
And got a picture out of there. But my question is : is there anything else that may be important when you decompile a flash page beside the images? If so let me know.
Here the image I found in it:

makyla, you can look in the scripts to see if there is hidden text. Also, someone should have a look in that globe jpg to see if something is stegged (I never seem to be able to detect stegged images).
also, whooop! whooop! *whistles* to Fi.

ty chippy. I checked the script and theres nothing in there of interest.
I tried to check the earth image to see if anything came out but nothing worked for me. But I'm not real good at either gimp or steg images. So like Chippy suggested maybe someone thats good at it should have a look at it
Now I'm not sure how this works really. Do we just check the sites to see if anything new is on there?or do we receive new clues by email?

Chippy, you might want to edit your initial post and make the topic include ARG or trailhead..
I am officially interested and loving the music!

I'm going to the Island later this year. So far this had given me lots of very good links for my trip. Closing parties here I come ( in a few mouths)

Hey all, I'm new to this so ignore me if it's nothing but in the top video on Elisabeth's page near the end it looks like it says 'the girl is with us now'
could this mean something?

If this is a new ARG, I'm in. I need to get a start somewhere, to learn, so i do hope this is a fairly new one, where I won't get lost trying to catch up.
I'll have a look at the pic, I have GIMP, but I don't know if I'll find anything. Still... why all the white at the top and bottom? Seems weird to me.

I'm sure you've all seen the symbol in the vid. Why does it link to the blog, i wonder? And why is the same symbol also shown horizontally on the initial page here?
http://thewhiteisland.com/index2.php
Sorry, don't know how relevant it is.. but I think this symbol may be appearing quite a lot, lol. i'll have a look at the blog and the link that someone found on the blog as well.
I can't hear what Pete is saying in that one video, as well. Is there some way to cut down the interference to hear what he's saying? It's so annoying when I can't hear ppl.
I also see what you meant by the end of the vid on the blog, with the message. But it seems to be written strangely (it is, duh) but what I mean is maybe something else is hidden? Gotta be more than that right? In teh source, i think it says the name of vid is "GirlsWithUs" or something. Near the top of the source code, anyway.

The picture in the Arrival video... I was looking at the picture in the arrival video on the blog, the picture on teh wall, and i noticed it said palma on it, I think anyway. I googled it and came up with a location: Palma, Spain.
I just thought it was coincidental that we now have a global map, and the word on the wall was a place in the world.
Don't know if it's relevant, but I thought I might as well share it.

Definitely on board here. Hopefully more comes to light soon. The symbol looks like an infinity sign or a mobius strip.
