Join discord voice chat and #conspiracy-theory-clues channel to find people following the clues.
The video on the access website shows a windows 95 looking desktop with the names of discord users as files on desktop (such as LostPanther.ms), command prompt windows pop up showing various commands and listing the first people to complete pre-variant verification.
The steps to get the pre-variant discord role are:
1. Join the discord server
2. Go to the #roles-and-assignment channel and click “Get Claws role!” button to ascend to the rank of claw
3. Go into the #claws-only chat room and type M:\Verify @YourUsername
When you do this, a bot named Midnight Protocol will message you:
Verification System Initialized
Awaiting Passcode

Reply with the code 14421PCGSPD and you will get a message like this with your information in it:
/// Passcode Accepted

User: XXXXX
UUID: ##################
Verification Number: ###/// No Further Action Required
Private Communication Channel Opened…
After doing that you are granted the role of pre-variant and you can start playing the alternate reality game. It was the first people who figured this out whose names are in the video on the website. There is an update to the system every night at midnight where various commands are added or changed. Usually people gather in voice channels around midnight to discuss. All commands start with M:\ the bots tells you that you need a loadout to start the mission and your loadout will be ready in 24 hours. the different sectors tell you that there are characters running missions in them. the command M:\map tells you there is a map protocol (which means its a website) and there is an mp3 file called alleyways. the password to the map website is 206 because the duration of alleyways is 2:06 in the spotify playlist.
A group of people spent the whole weekend grinding nonstop, trying every different command they could think of and logging all their discoveries in a google doc.
New website is discovered at midnightsociety.com/map – password 206 (length of the song alleyways)
