Are we the ONLY ourcolony?

[Slippy]

I agree.

[Hova092]

ny thoughts wxactly. i think we maybe part of a bigger thing (sweping generalizations finished). i wanna see how this plays off AFTER the 12....

I highly doubt it. Search engines make it too easy to cross reference sites with even the slightest connection to Xbox 360 or Next Gen. The language barrier is also not strong enough, because even though most american don't speak other languages, most foreign Internet users DO speak english (or know enough to surf and get information on the net effectively). So unless these "parallel" campaigns had nothing to do Xbox 360 or Next Gen or E3 or MTV... then I doubt we'll have other teams to compete against.

nola, i see ur arguement, and though excessively logicall, i must say that i really believe that there is soemthing that we must be represented against....also...why only america? i mean, i love my country to death, but wy only us? microsoft KNOWS they lost round one to PS2. why not try and go to that market. also, i am taking into acount that this is an ARG-ish competition, one which ISN'T meant to garner an uber-fanbase. however, is america the only place tat ARG's flurish? i just doubt their reasoning.

[Hova092]

also
whats to say that they other "colony" websiites arn't under a far less obvious name? what if ours is taylored to an "ant colony" while another is taylored to a ladder, with it's members being the "bars that allow accension to truth"? i think if soemone was googlin to find an xbox360 arg, they would not find one, being that this site does not mention the words xbox360 directly. i know i didn't? i foudn this through gamespot! granted, if u googles for our colony, u'd find it, but u'd have to know what the name was first. there also is the idea that gamespot or IGN would've FOUND those other ARG sites, but idk, i think there are others....

Well I'm from Finland and I have to say that after joining this colony it took me a while to find this forum. While searching I didn't find any other place for ARGolonists. I haven't been very active in solving the puzzles but it's been very interesting just to spectate. Maybe that's because I don't have much to give in most of the challenges but if something from my field comes out I'll be sure to help out.

I totally agree with Nola. in fact, I'm, from the Netherlands myself, and there's no such thing as a dutch version of ourcolony, or a European one even. also, every single console- or gaming-related website you visit will mention ourcolony and no other website.

[BillDuke]

No finnish version either..
If I remember correctly when joining this game somewhere it was said that each colony shoud get members from all over the world to get best out of their colonies. And wasn't there a way to collect points by sticking ourcolony logos to known places of different cities and taking a picture of them? Finlands capital city Helsinki was on of those cities. I'm sure I saw a list somewhere...

So if there is one big world colony i will not count on ilovebees-style reward at the end. I can't imagine myself traveling from Poland to USA, just for pick up the phone call with info about "secret x360 party" around the place. I don't want to be discriminated just because i'm not from the United States.

[tomtom224]

[Hova092]
