What if one of the potential flavor texts is from one of the La Capitan's deck? After all, the comment from MigrantP that the "124185" points to mentions Spain. Or is that a Red Herring?
I think it's more to do with the time zone issue than the location, as i didn't find anything in the capitan flavor text, but I didn't look at the art...

I was heading down a road of La Capitan as well. Somehow that just feels right
Chrological Hotspot flavor text "Augh! This pain I can feel my bones tearing me apart!"
I have wondered whether the pictures of the heroes and villains on the back of the "Villains" book have any relevence. Dark Visionary also keeps tripping something over the darkest timeline concept. We are missing something...

Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.
-Robert E. Howard, "The Tower of the Elephant"
On page one of the rulebook, look very carefully at the shadowing the the word sentinels. Only certain letters are shadowed. The shadowed letters spell NINES.
Ooohhh and on the cover all are, and Sentinels is 9 letters, and replaceme, and vengeance.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.

So, Tim Cosing being an anagram, maybe the insane ramblings are an amalgam of multiple flavor texts; therefore, pointing to something that may link them or be present(or absent) in all of them.
The closest I've found so far was Miss Information(VotM Deck), Endless Possibilities: "There are worlds of difference between what you see and what actually is, Maia"
This encompasses
the worst part between what you see and what actually is, the only truth now. You shall not feel my bones The protection of the most awful future Indeed...You are not real.
So maybe the alternate Wraith on the art is meaningful. That would link to the Intervene hack of the Wraith's computer that helped kick off this whole nonsense.

If that's the case, maybe why 9 is so important here. 9 villains of the multiverse who have matching flavor text. because La capitan has the card chronological hotspot which has the flavor text "Augh! This pain... I can feel my bones tearing me apart!" If this is the case, that covers two of the nine villains. So we are at
"the worst part between what you see and what actually is, the only truth now. You shall not feel my bones The protection of the most awful future Indeed...You are not real."
This is issue #4, by the way. and the one from miss information is issue #680, so probably no correlation there
"A delayed game is eventually good. A rushed game is bad forever"
timcosing, itscoming, replaceme, corncakes, and intervene all have nine letters. If you assign their letters the numbers 1 through 9, and then form a six-letter word by using the pattern 124185, you get:
timcosing: tictno
itscoming: itcino
replaceme: relrma
corncakes: concec
intervene: ineinr
I have tried all five of those as replacements for replaceme in the URL. They all lead to Page not found.
As noted, there are nine numbered pages in the rulebook. There are also ten sections of bio, one for each villain. I tried matching phrases from the 'itscoming' page to the various bios, hoping that I'd somehow find that there were nine sets of text that matched, and then I could try reordering the text according to the six digit pattern, but I couldn't match any of the text aside from unhelpfully small sets of words.
