Shepherd Company ARG - Electric Sheep on Steam!
Nice! Good job, i never would have thought rob just because he already replied to that saying not to guess. I guess we will have to wait then, location and time is everything? Hmm.. Location migt be a problem, what if nobody lives in the right spot? im too tired to solve stuff right now though...
Had a quick read through this after playing Pasture and seeing the comments. A couple of thoughts:
The countdown expires at 20:19 UTC (the title of the web page backs this up). Blade Runner is set in November 2019 so there may be a parallel to draw here. No idea what though.
Team Fortress 2 is releasing the final part of its Mann vs Machine update today and the Day 2 MvM update mentioned the film Alien a lot and MvM is all to do with robots.
The fake music file also talks about a war effort and getting others involved to help you - i.e. co-op.
The ARG countdown timer expires around the time that the MvM Day 3 update should appear as well.
This Team Fortress link could also be a figment of my imagination.
The circuit diagrams and capitalisation/spelling of the countdown message are still a mystery to me. Will keep thinking...
tomc, the circuit has already been solved. We had to run G through it since it has the shepherd's cane next to it to get the letter "O." I guess I should update that section of the OP.
Just three hours away from the countdown hitting zero, and we still don't know what's up with the capitalization and spacing...
I doubt its related to tf2, unless We need to join some server or something at a certain time. Actually that might be close, these letters cant be some hidden ip can they?
edit:I'll be ready to check all clues so far as soon as that timer hits 0. although i feel like it will just go right to 24 hours, and keep repeating..... in that case i'll do it when it resets to 24 hours....
If the site is not replaced, the countdown will start to count negative time (you can tell by the javascript code in the source), so consider reloading!
If the lower/uppercase is considered zeroes and ones, we would have 5 byte:
29 70 5 167 217
if inverted (lower = 1, upper = 0):
226 185 250 88 38
maybe 4 of them are an ip, I tried to ping some combinations, but with no luck
Says 9 minutes left

IP and port? perhaps? 1 minute left, i'm going to be disappointed if nothing happens
// Soon you will have a zip.
// Its password will be her name.
for (int abc = 2; abc < 6; abc++)
cout << abs(4 - abc) + 1;
for (int def = 3; def < 6; def++)
cout << 3;
for (int ghi = 4; ghi < 7; ghi++)
cout << 2;
for (int jkl = 5; jkl < 8; jkl++)
cout << (int)pow(3.0, (jkl/2 - 1));
for (int mno = 6; mno < 10; mno++)
cout << abs(8 - mno) + 1;
for (int pqrs = 7; pqrs < 10; pqrs++)
cout << 3;
for (int tuv = 8; tuv > 5; tuv--)
cout << tuv / 2 - 1;
for (int wxyz = 9; wxyz > 6; wxyz--)
cout << wxyz - 6;
8/18, so in 3 days we get a zip, the pascode is the result of this script.
edit: zip folders are female?
NEGATIVE NUMBERS WOOOOO!

facts for the new page:
- title says "8/18"... a date => in three days?
- image alt text says "O Romeo, wherefore art thou parking?"
- image title says "There is more to this sheep than meets the eye."
- image url is https://dl.dropbox.com/u/94591457/images/818.png - same 8/18 reference
- the c++ comment says "Soon you will have a zip. Its password will be her name."
- the (c++) code executed gives a number:
32123332223993212333322321
link
no more hidden data
EDIT: guess, in three days he will upload an encrypted zip file
