This is neat. I don't watch it, but didn't ABC do the same sorta thing for Alias. I remember an attempted link to the Mole and the phony search engine that lead you to nothing but dead ends, unless, of course, you clicked on the link that looked like this: <o> It led you to some site about a painter who likes to put "codes" into his artwork. It was all created for that Alias show, but dunno what that might mean.

Does anyone know what that was all about?

This is a tease. This is only a tease. If this were an actual emergency...it would not be a tease! Thanks for the "link", eee!

Regards,
Red Lady

Maybe we have to find the clue to the password.

Hmmm....Username JPrufrock perhaps?

Below's a vidcap from the ABC promo -- if you look carefully you can make out some of ther headlines, if I get a chance I'll see if I can get a vidcap with less overlay.

Right now I'm not clear if PushTimes.com is supposed to represent The Push newspaper in the show (much like http://www.smallvilletorch.com is intended to represent the school newspaper for The WB's "Smallville" show.)

Apparently the site wasn't always locked--but overeager clue finders have already visited. Some of the stuff has been archived and a few of the puzzles have been solved already!

Oh my nerves kyngladye...they are a very overeager group!

THIS is what Push Times used to look like. It may be revamped now.

P.S. Make sure you click on the population sign at the top and move your cursor back to the sign--a message will pop up for you.

Has Anyone cracked the code to hear the messages?

LAST EDITED ON 08-27-02 AT 10:08 PM (EST)

I tried to get tip #1, but there was "no file found" After tinkering with the tuner, I could hear two different messages.

Message 1. "This is George from accounting. We need to get security down here immediately. There is 1.2 million missing from the vault."
Set tuner (from left to right) +3, -1, +2, +3, 0.

Message 2. (Music- like a commercial on the radio or TV) I couldn't really hear the rest. Too scratchy for me. The message sounds like it's in the background. edited because someone else says that it sounds like a train conducter stating something about San Juan Capistrano.
Set tuner (from left to right) +3, -1, +1, -1, +3.

Hope this gets everybody started in the right direction.

i think the no file found was the clue. after rereading it carfully, it certianly didn't sound like the normal file not found that i get. if you click on the link that's there, it takes you to a whole new site, that i think involves push. on that site there are 2 more websites-http://www.versailles-casino.com/ and www.pushchamber.com see what's there-there are soooo many things to explore!

Koko was on the porch, trying to catch mosquitos on the screen, the problem being that they were all on the outside. "And you're supposed to be a smart cat," Qwilleran said.

One thing puzzles me about all these "spoiler" clues floating around...how can the producers of the show provide preview hints to an on-line audience when, in fact, there will no doubt be a "less technically-sophisticated" viewing audience to consider. Is it really fair to give on-line peeps advance clues?

Regards,

I think ABC learned from Alias that this web subculture thing is really good advertising and maintains viewer interest between episodes. The whole Milo Rambaldi cult world (and there were multiple specially created websites) that was created became much more effective than they expected. Kids surfing the net who weren't originally watching Alias got hooked.

What they didn't do was give out important information that couldn't be found in the show. It was just more accessible - the same as you couldn't have easily found some of the hidden Mole clues without taping the show. I just hope they aren't going to rely on some clues only being available on these PN sites. I think that would be unfair and make the show less interesting.

Um... there was an online Alias game??? Wow, I watch that show (well, at least I did when Bachelorettes in Alaska wasn't on ) and I never knew that... guess I'm definitely out pf that lopp, LOL

Wasn't really a game - just a bunch of fake info which contained some helpful "hidden" stuff. Try:

http://www.followersoframbaldi.com
http://www.find-whatever.com

The second site is a fake search engine (only the <0> symbol now works and leads to the first site)

Also if you look at Katie's execution interview from Mole 2 on the ABC site, the opening says she "spent some time chatting with the users of .... Find-Whatever.com". There was some play on these boards on the fact that Rambaldi is an anagram for Admiral B, and that the mention on the ABC Mole site was another "hidden" clue. Can you spell incest??

There were also other fake sites which I now forget (I think SD6 had one). Edit: The following site details some/all of the links that were established for Alias (I just retrieved the URL from my secret vault!). You can see how intricate it was:

http://sd-6.com/mystery/

But it was a lot like what is being set up for PN, although PN's sites look a lot more complicated already, which I guess you might expect if $1 million is involved!!

Push, Nevada supposedly will advertise Alias on their site.

And the gas pumps at the only gas station had "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" on the screens. *I'm assuming since the show's been cancelled, that might change*

A couple of weeks ago I got a private message from a newbie on the board that told me to go to the source for solving puzzles.

this was the address given http://www.normandiecasino.com

So, now if you go there under Promos you will find that Push, Nevada was filmed there.

Just curious, has anybody tried sending an e-mail to one of the addresses under personal ads. They might reply with a clue of some sort.

I sent to #98

Call me for a good time (765) 994-6637 (fake #)

I got back (less than a minute later):

From: "locallistings" <locallistings@pushtimes.com>
Subject: Re: Call me for a good time

Thanks for writing back. I was nervous about putting out an ad, but I
am thrilled to know people out there are searching too. Do you like
steak?

I sent a message to 92, I don't think the message I sent matters, but here's what I got:

Have you seen West Side Story? Seymour’s just got it on DVD. Meet me there Friday at 7, grab dinner at Shaw’s, and then go back to my place to watch. I make popcorn the old fashioned way.

Both Seymour's and shaws can be found in the business listings if that means anything.

I sent one to all of them now. The only one that wasn't a hokey message (like meet me at the bowling alley and ask for Iris) was #93.

That one just said:

Almost every scene in Push Nevada has a RED CHAIR. Martha's boarding house, Sila's office, Sloman's...just to name a few. There's also other some other clues at this site: http://pushnv.virtue.net

hmmmm. Like they said. "Redundancies".

I'm new here, but could that be an AIM account? I head somewhere that they do have automated AIM's now...

The same e-mail thing can be done with the classifides. There was also an interesting car accident listed that they needed witnesses for, might mean something in an upcoming episode.

Sorry if this was reported somewhere else, but I just logged onto pushtimes, and a note popped up to click on a link - www.enochonline.com - so I did and my whole system "crashed" (I had to reboot). Anyone else get that?

No, I got into the site OK. I had problems opening the fax that's available - it uses Acrobat Reader.
There is also link there under "dialectic" to a Yahoo message board that I haven't ventured on to.
