this can't be a birthdate can it? unless we reverse it and it becomes 09/16/51

that doesn't mean a damn thing either though

or you can take 156190 and divide by 24 until you get to 11.298467, maybe the first heist will be starting at 11:29?

I'm really just grabbing at straws here...

Chiraag Mundhe's missing a number under his "photo", could that # be 156190? Same number of digits as the rest...

It was stopped because the site was being bogged down by people reloding it.

I think.

Sweet.

Are you guys sure?  'Cuz I've got a hard time believing they didn't stop it at that number on purpose, otherwise.

Whistle while you work.  Patience is key.

I think it will now count back down to 0, then the Heist will begin!

Or, it'll count back to 0 then back up to another random number, then back down to 0 and have you all going crazy.

Note: It probably is actually because people were refreshing it like mad. tongue

People were scripting the match link and it was doing something awful to the servers, so they reconfig'd it.

By that logic, Phill Ryu was born 11/61/29...yeah that almost makes sense.

um... 11:59pm means 23:29... in other words, a minute before midnight.

looks like they might be using 8th November in the loosest terms...

specially cos it means that almost noone on this thing is going to get the briefing before the 9th. I mean, here its going to be out at 07:59 (GMT), East Coast, 01:59..

I still think this is going to end up being Chiraag's Number (on the about page)

Coincidence? Not on MacHeist.
