I wonder to what extent this ARG is going to be agenda lead? I think I might trying playing it from an over exaggerating the problem point of view and see what happens.

You tube videos
I've ripped and embedded the first three you tube videos to here in case, you know, they disappear or anything.
If could use the embedded rather than the ripped it will save on my bandwidth.

Congrats on this week's winners. My name isn't listed on the Netizen roll call yet, even though I know I've registered. Anybody else have this problem?
Have you submitted anything? I'm pretty sure that you need to submit something before you'll be listed.

The comic style one reminds me of Sin City (the movie not the graphic novel) for some reason. It's kind of film noir-ish. I'm using it for my computer background.
Yay! Thats what I was hoping for ^_^

oh man so many comments to make...
first off did anyone get a very RUDE vibe from Nico? He sounded pretty upset that she didn't have more money for him. Makes me feel like if his old job can offer him more money he might join their side (and I don't know if we want that). Yet in the second half he said he was happy he told the 8tosc... just.. weird.
new site! I'm worried how this ranking thing will work. I already noticed that while i'm listed as the only one from colorado in the sidebar their is a video from someone else in co. plus are we going to have to constantly be submitting our stuff into them?
randomly i like the icon i got for my post. it's graffitti. it makes me happy.

how the rankings work
Scores: The way people get a higher score depends on what they contribute, and how often. We're looking for your stories about how the crisis is affecting you, and what you're doing to get through it.
New Faces: Here we are just saying 'hi' to people who have sent us their first story. Well, OK, we rank them too by how we like their stuff.
Areas: The area rankings are based on a combination of how much and how cool is the stuff people in the area are doing, and how many people from the area are doing anything. Sign up your neighbors!
There is a certain amount of furry logic though, not to mention I suspect some of my colleagues will succumb to arm twisting and go in and fiddle with the scores
chrisjill may have a screen shot of the original page
ETA: Congrats to artimaeis, poeticexplosion and xuratu who have been listed as this weeks winners

Supply uncertainty drives prices higher
Fuel prices jumped this week, led by gasoline which gained over a dollar a gallon on average. Oil distributors pointed to several "renegotiated" delivery contracts as proof that a long-rumored shortfall in the supply of U.S. oil has finally arrived. Oil producers were tight-lipped about the adjusted contracts, and as I write this it's still unclear how extensive the shortfall will turn out to be.
NATIONS COMPETE TO WIN CONTRACTS
The news set off a flurry of activity as nations bid to secure remaining contracts, driving oil prices to record highs. Strong developing nations such as China and India featured strongly in the negotiations, while poorer nations were effectively shut out.
U.S. GOVERNMENT PROMISES INVESTIGATION
U.S. Government officials urged calm "until all the facts are known," and promised that the U.S. would "compete effectively" for an uncompromised flow of oil. Industry observers noted that national reserves are very low, due to widespread declining production among the oil-exporting nations. More on this next week.
QUESTION: WHAT WILL $4/GAL GAS DO TO YOUR FINANCES?
Let us know in your blogs, emails, video and images, phone calls...
EDIT: This isn't a very seamless launch, we're going to have to suspend disbelief a lot for this one I think. Here's a podcast I don't think we're supposed to hear until tomorrow (though I'm not sure).
I just threw them together If anyone wants to use them, then feel free.
I decided to keep them blank, so people could customise them as needed.
But if their no use it doesnt matter - it gave me something to do!

Good idea...I'm going to Photoshop some icons and various fun things. I'll post them on the flickr when I finish them.
