 		[MSNfound] Is this anything?
Go to http://search.msn.com.

Type in "Cy" and hit Search.

That first link looks a little odd, don't you think?

No, I can't tell you how I found this.

 		Ok, well the only thing that's a little odd about it is that the link leads to an "msnfound.com" site...

So it looks like it is or will be some MSN ad. Unless MSNfound is a private hosting thingy... which I don't think it is. Cuz I am always right. Except that one time. We don't talk about that one time. Nope. Laughing

 		An MSN-based ARG???

is the website based on weird MSN search results? Possibly they are doing a game to promote their new search?

 		I'm sorry, I cannot deal with the idea that, after a withering nuclear winter in the world of ARGs, two potential ARGs may be introduced in one night.... one hour, actually.

This makes me dizzy.

EDIT: I've seen the hypnodragon thing before.... WHAT THE HECK IS IT DOING ON THE VIDEO!!!?

 		From a search of "Cy simulation software"

Quote:
Scientist named Lorenz did a weather simulation years and years ago, and it started behaving in ways that looked like real weather. Then he found that if he altered his input data by one one-hundredth, he got different results. We're our own little experiment in chaos theory. Butterfly effect.


Soudns argish to me, if a bit open about the company hosting it...


EDIT: i'm just editing this so I don't post thrice in a row. I'm sorry, but "Enron and Afghanistan connection?" doesn't that seem a little political for an arg? Or am I assuming to much to say its even argish?

 		This is weird. Every time you go to the site, there's a new search term in the search box and whenever you go to the search there's a link to the site but a new blurb and when you go to the site there's a new search term. And so it goes. I'm on five clicks right now. The search term is "Cy geographic cure".

 		No ARG people. AT least I don't think so. Go to http://www.msnfound.com/index.htm It looks like it's just an ad ploy for msnfound. Let me know what you think.

EDIT:
There is some kookiness though, as there's a link that tells you to search "hypnodragon" that gives you a weird little video, and then there's CY telling you to search CY ("that's C-Y Einstein"). That just leads you back to his site however. Maybe there'll be more to this.

I'm really, really feeling dizzy. I must stop posting. This will sort itself out...

I'm sorry, are you implying I don't have skills?
I have sweet ninja skills....

EDIT: if this is not a game.... why do these people have emails?
EDIT: most of the things they tell you to search for have appeaed on milkandcookies.com In fact, all i've seen so far have.

I can tell you from my MxO experience that the Illuminati are a faction in Matrix Online, I see alot of their members, plus they are very active in the community and are just as kind. I believe they are allied with the Machines, but I'm not sure if that would have something to do with it. I'm also not sure why they are looking into it, but I can ask around if you wish me to.

I can't seem to download the movies for some reason, so just to clarify: Is the audio and video screwy for everyone, or is it just my old computer and crappy dialup connection?

That means very little, unfortunately--the Illuminati are the classic conspiracy group. There are lots of people who claim the Bavarian Illuminati are behind the world's governments or some such.

 		No, no, what I'm saying is that the Illuminati are a player run faction in Matrix. Like I'm a member of the Shadows of the Infinite, they're members of the Illuminati. Just a little while ago they gave away alot of information in a contest (info being money). They are a group of players that have come together in a group. I don't know why they have MSN Found on their forums, but I can ask some friends to see why it is there.
