sapagoo found this article which might indicate that Will Star is a real person.

Could it be that this ARG is going to blur the lines between what is strictly in-game and what is strictly OOG/real world?

http://www.willstar.tv/watch.html is an image containing http://www.cityzen.tv/. That site is almost certainly OOG.

Still, this whole "blurring the lines" thing is kinda creepy. Mommy, I'm scared.

If he's involved, he may not acknowledge a PM. Ask him about Ian or "DJH4X".

Here is the WHOIS for scratch.com, although I'm sure it's mostly OOG. But hey.. for the sake of being thorough...

It's not all the info. Register.com prints the information as an image, so I simply copied what seemed important.

The Stunt Specialists lists Will's nickname as Will da Beast.
http://www.thestuntspecialists.com/
A sly reference, perhaps?

The exploding stunt photo definitely looks fake, as does the description:

if you register at the willstar.tv forums, there's a forum called Area 51 that is password protected (you have to be logged in to see the different forums).

Is it OOG? I'm not so sure. Will Star sent an email to Ian today, so he's at least partially in-game.

Shocked

Will has acknowledged that he knows about Ian on his forum. I think this is a pretty good lead and I think we should try and squeeze him for information.

I'm still trying to work out whether Will is a real person (I think he is) - I guess the best way to find out would be for someone to go to his scratch session on Thursday (friad I can't because there's the small matter of the Atlantic in my way Sad

)

If we don't get anywhere on the willstar.tv forum I may try contacting the Scratch DJ Academy on Monday and see if they can put me in touch.

Oh - and Will says noone is getting into Area 51 (spoilsport)

BTW - I'm pretty new to the ARG scene and spent all of last night digesting the whole concept and all the info we've got so far. I'd appreciate it if anyone could let me know if I'm doing anything wrong!! Embarassed

Will's now asking what anyone would do to get into Area 51

Well I guess I got my answer as to whether Will is a real person or not...

He had put a puzzle on his forum about getting into Area 52

The saga over Area 52 is being discussed over in the Puzzle Section.

Is anyone in the NYC area thinking about going to Will's DJ session tonight?
