As the website was established in 1999, I don't think it's involved, but certainly an interesting read!

The only thing on the page is a ListMania! list about Mac computer stuff.

In the elder time chosen men had talked with the entombed Old Ones in dreams, but then something happened. The great stone city R'lyeh, with its monoliths and sepulchres, had sunk beneath the waves; and the deep waters, full of the one primal mystery through which not even thought can pass, had cut off the spectral intercourse. But memory never died, and the high-priests said that the city would rise again when the stars were right.

So it would be really entertaining if BA St. Feline were actually in league with Teh Evar So Fearsome Old Ones* and were just luring us toward disaster by pretending to be trying to avert it.


*Yes, I know this is going to annoy the Lovecraft fans, but I read the Call of Cthulu a long time ago and got to the end of the second story and just started laughing because the big scary thing being built up to turned out to be...an octopus.

HOORAY! I live just minutes from Cassadaga!

After missing a lot of the action from Perplex City (which I love nonetheless), it will be fun to play a game that takes place right next door!

Calling her now!

EDIT: found a proxy that got me around it, and a wishlist item is dated 2006. Looks like a neat coincidence and nothing more

Ok, I know I've said that a couple of times before and failed miserably, but this time I mean it: I'm back, count me in.


Maybe. I mean, I'll really try hard.

Woo. It's been a long, long while since I've played an ARG, but this is too interesting to pass up.

I know this first came up like seven pages ago, but I figured I'd bring it up. Leviathan is usually thought to be a Nile crocodile, and Behemoth is usually thought to be a hippopotamus, and least in terms of the Biblical usage. Leviathan is also a metaphor used for the sea itself, and St. Thomas Aquinas called Leviathan the demon of envy. The Leviathan became a common term for the sperm whale in Moby Dick. So... there you have it.

Finally, please tell me I'm not the only one who got scared and thought this was a huge advertisement for the new Bright Eyes album at the first mention of Cassadaga.

EDIT: I just called the number. It rang once, I heard a click, what sounded like someone talking (though it was barely audible), another, louder click, silence for 15 or 20 seconds, another loud click, then the operator. Anyone else have weird stuff like that?

I am a perpetual lurker on these things, but I thought I'd throw this info into the discussion. I searched all of the personals in the US and Canadian cities on craigslist for bseeingu and came up with this list:

Austin http://austin.craigslist.org/mis/311591739.html
Baltimore http://baltimore.craigslist.org/mis/311569124.html
Binghamton http://binghamton.craigslist.org/mis/311574771.html
Gainesville http://gainesville.craigslist.org/mis/311571151.html
Houston http://houston.craigslist.org/mis/311581432.html
Louisville http://louisville.craigslist.org/mis/311593398.html
Lynchburg http://lynchburg.craigslist.org/mis/311580382.html
Milwaukee http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/mis/311583433.html
Providence http://providence.craigslist.org/mis/311564036.html
Penn State (or State College) http://pennstate.craigslist.org/mis/311578481.html
Kitchener http://kitchener.craigslist.org/mis/311567561.html
Windsor http://windsor.craigslist.org/mis/311577207.html
Winnipeg http://winnipeg.craigslist.org/mis/311590898.html

I know most of these have been found, but I think there are a few new ones in there. Also, there are thirteen, and, as has been mentioned, all of them were posted on Friday the 13th (except for Louisville, which was posted 5 minutes after midnight EDT on the 14th). Seems appropriate in light of the black cat.

I am supposed to be writing a paper right now, but this is much more interesting!

Hi All!

I mostly lurked/spec'ed a little in the ole ILB, and it's cool to see some of the names I remember from that still around these places (thebruce, I seem to recall a rather heated OT debate that we had )

I'll hopefully be a little more active for this go 'round.

I'm in France at the moment, so I'm even more disconnected from the states with the non-electronic ARGing, but even Winnipeg got a package, so you never know!

...goes to dig out the ancient Lovecraft paperbacks read in high school.

He was from PROVIDENCE? Seems...so...mundane....

[mclare]

I'm new as well, and I definitely did not need this so close to finals.

[Rasputin42x69]

I got the ARGN email as well. It's been ages since I swam in the ARG pool, this might be the thing to get me to jump back in. Definitely keeping an eye on this one.
