Edge Yourself(c) http://www.edgeyourself.com/
Very mysterious. And for some reason, a little unsettling. I think I'll write to them from my second, backup email address. Don't know why. Maybe the recent rash of book shilling and lanyard selling has jaded me against new ARG-like discoveries.
I watch and wait.

I got the same response. I have no idea what it means. ARGs are a bit difficult for me to figure out, but I like to follow along .

Good.
The sentences seem so oddly put together it almost seems there has to be a puzzle in there somewhere.

konamouse, I actually found the link on the House of Leaves message board.
Although I absolutely love that book, I only pop into that forum once in a blue moon (if not rarer) because I find it so bitchy and cliquey in there. They are mercilessly cruel to noobs who post something that has already been mentioned (basically telling you that you *MUST* read through thousands of archived posts before you are allowed to post anything yourself) and if you dare to speak out in any way against the "Old Boys Club" (ruled by the enigmatic and highly volatile "fatwoul") then you are told in no uncertain times to "fornicate off" by that entire faction.
It's really sad because I'd love to be able to talk to people about the book and some of my thoughts on it, but have been totally turned off the official forum for the above reasons.

I haven't got this new email yet (although I did get the first).
Hope I haven't slipped through the cracks.

PaleFigure,
I also got the first, but no sign of the second. Perhaps they're sending them in stages, or only to a few ...

EDGE YOURSELF WIRE SERVICE <ISSUE TWO> Got the email today, and the attachment, but the header was labelled issue two. Perhaps they are sending them out staggered ... but why? So many registrants ... a deliberate ploy? Have I not looked closely enough at Issue Two and seen the subtle changes? I don't know! But I'm curious ... and it seems to indicate that a website update will signal the beginning of something that we are being thanked for patiently waiting for. Fingers crossed!

Yup Aiesha, I got the same as you just the other day.
So I guess now it's just a matter of waiting until the site updates...

Stage one has apparently started to wake up.
Not a lot there yet, a cute warning screen (struck out text very reminiscent of House of Leaves ) but I'm guessing this is more of an interest hook than a genuine trailhead at this stage.
