 		Try it again Joe but put a number in your name. That's what I did and it worked for me Smile

Ok so we need to go recruiting people for this.. same as Our Colony.

Welcome misery1 . As you may know you are here to play a game and soon you shall. In the mean time we need to grow bigger.

 		Mmmm.. I love recruiting people for unknown things. They're always like "well, what is it?" and I'm like "well, I don't know, but you need to sign up!" Hehe.

Any luck getting signed up Joe?

 		Do you think we could get a mod to split this topic up into a new C-cure one? It's kind of hijacking the thread.

 		Is this spam?
Just got an email, I would talk about this in the chat room but I'm having problems accessing so here goes:

So far, so spam... But go to the website, it's just a bit... odd... I mean, I signed up here all puzzley a week ago, and now I get this. It's also in my gmail which I never get spam in (I only use it in special places like this, most crap goes to my hotmail)...

It just seems a bit strange...

 		Is your e-mail scanned when it comes in?

I've seen e-mail sent out to masses with virii before, the weird e-mail is to get people to think "WTF?" and open the attachment for an explanation.

 		So, a friend of mine messaged me a few minutes or so ago asking me if I had instant messaged her from another name. I said no, she sent me the conversation.

Quote:
Sethpotism (12:30:51 AM): Is that a fact?
shes the slayer (12:32:41 AM): .... Yes?
shes the slayer (12:33:15 AM): Lmao sorry who might you be?
Sethpotism (12:33:20 AM): The truth.
shes the slayer (12:33:33 AM): How creepy.
shes the slayer (12:34:15 AM): What is the truth?
Sethpotism (12:34:26 AM): Me.
shes the slayer (12:35:08 AM): You're awfully cryptic..
shes the slayer (12:37:32 AM): Who are you?..
Sethpotism (12:37:55 AM): We already went over this.
shes the slayer (12:38:03 AM): What do you want from me then?
Sethpotism (12:38:25 AM): For you to stop messaging me.
shes the slayer (12:38:38 AM): Bye then.


The reason she messaged me is because I'm a big fan of actor Seth Green and well, um... "Sethpotism." Laughing In any case, she's a member of this message board, too - mostly because she was interested in the Unholy ARG. She had her AIM name listed in her profile, which further convinces me of the ARG possibility.
