 		Recruitment
We have ceased active recruitment until January 2005. However, those that penetrate between now and then will be considered for the 5th circle. Lux, this is your first and only warning: Speak of us again in public and be banned from the circle.

 		but the promises broke and the make-believe ran out
Everybody wants a good ARG, but this thing has been sitting around for a year or so.
Their initial attempts were really weak with an unoriginal story line and dreadful writing.
I wouldn't hold my breath on this being anything worthwhile.

 		Ok
Admittedly, I did kinda blow it when I was talking to that Christ Titan character, who as far as I could tell, was not a character from the game. Embarassed

dmon_mon, I think you're just jelaous that you couldn't solve the puzzles before a girl could. Twisted Evil

Ok, I'll shut up now before I get flogged again.

 		Newbie observations
I am new to the whole ARG thing. So what I have gathered from exploring El Centro is that we should be feeding ham&cheese croissants to non-jumping penguins while contemplating our embedded Omega layers and sucking down coffee. I have no idea what I'm doing, but at least it's not boring. Smile

Too late sister!

Chris happens to be my boyfriend. No he is not a character in the game. He discovered it at the Live Donut Event in Arcata, CA and gave an account of the alternate reality he experienced when he contacted the game.

He was shook up for days. He has a witness to the guy with hollow eye sockets. We all think he took it a bit seriously, but have been enjoying a harder reality game where it is real. You navigate the synchronicities along a story line.

The surrealists played these kinds of consciousness games...there is a link to it in the library at El-Centro!

We thinks that too much corporate ARG has tamed the beast...

El-Centro is dangerous, it will disrupt your sleep patterns...

 		rumors about all of the
Fer instance...

I go to the link to El-Centro from here at News & Roumers...

go straight to the cut up engine and take a random swipe of text and cut it up...

the title is "Rumors about all of the"...

can you see the "fnords"?

 		Gil is easy if you know how to talk to him.

At most of these sites, the chatbots are based on the same concept.

Gil, like the others, is just a modified Eliza bot.

I've gotten tons of stuff from him. But I can't solve the other kinds of puzzles! Donuts and such!

EDIT:

All I can say is: holy crap.

I don't know if I can talk about it, but this ARG looks incredible. I honestly don't know where this ARG ends and reality begins.
As I go deeper and deeper into this this (with Gil's help of course), I am amazed at the scope of all of this. You'll see...

I think I've experinced multiple ARGasms (sudden moments of enlightenment)
I don't even know what's real anymore...

Does H even know?
