The Supposed Elevation of "Chosen" Ones

Have any you read the "expose" thread on the TXB forums? It's odd to say the least. It could be legit, or it could be fake--hard to say. Nevertheless, I submitted a "formal application".

It talks about the formation of an elitist colony, called "Wisdom", created by a "m8ker 360". This SN supposedly released the prize picture of yesterday's challenge 45 minutes before it was first solved anywhere. Multiple members of the TXB forums were contacted via AIM and told this info and info regarding the colony. They are being termed "the chosen ones". They were told to take applications from other colonists before forwarding them to m8ker 360.

Odd...

I've read it. I've posted an application just incase it is real. I don't think that it is. I believe it to be run by a kid, but I may be mistaken. Anyways, it's worth a gander but not to much credence put here, imo (4 what it's worth).

Hey guys, Hova092 from unfiction here.

first off, i would like to say that, in the event that this is real, i would like to congradulate u guys for an awesome opportunity. however, my only complaint is that this supposed "Wisdom" colony is being seen liek the freakin' second coming. honestly, i would liek to know how this info was released and also if THX has been offered a spot, being that it would only be right. as i said b4, if this is true (which i am not forming an opinion on, i am simple giving the benifit of the doubt) my hat goes of to Naga for, well, being chosen (not to bash ur charecter, but any idea on why YOU were chosen, btw?). i guess we will see the fate of the "chosen" ones in the coming weeks. please keep us at Unfiction posted...


honestly, i'm having a hard time believing this, being that they're taking this SOOOOOOO seriously, and also, what stops Naga from recruiting all his friends? it may be real, however, i think it's a sloppy attempt by the gamem8ker to keep ppl interested in a game whose prize has been leaked SOOO FAR in advance. also, anyone have the url for this "m,ystery" thread that was "found"?

WTF!!! GUIDING!!! is it me or is this like becoming annoying! i REFUSE to be lead by a) other ants!, b) ppl who have not proven themselves! what THX did was prove himself. he solved soemthing that was NOT a chalenge, which showed his dedication, and whats this about "straightening things out"? is it me or are the chosen few already riding a high horse? (i'm sorry if i seem overly angry, i just refuse to put hard work in something for me to be strictly considered a peon, while others who have worked liek me get spoils that were not gained through tasks. that sh!t pisses me off in real life, which is why i'm starting to play ARG's...lol)

Yep, I agree with what you say Hova. Anyone could have picked better "leaders" than the ones that were picked.

My biggest peeve about this is the new, unheard of AIM SN. Why the new one? Why now? Fake--sure smells like it. If only we could be prove it...

I was in the ourcolony AIM chat room, and there was an AIM name in there of m8ker 360. Looked pretty darn fake to me. Besides, why restrict this to Team Xbox stuff? It just doesn't make sense to me.

If it is true I think it's stupid that they got it, because I watched both forums solve the last clue and they weren't even close. They were talking about periodic table and Xenon well after the guy on the unfiction forums posted about the 3 and the 2010 stuff. So for them to be "chosen" is silly because they were acting like they were so far ahead of everybody because they had so much information, but in reality there were incredibly far from the answer.

Just my 2 cents. I really could careless I'm horrible at those puzzles.

i'd hate it if this causes decension among the colonies, but i think they made it TXB exclusive, because the representitive is from unfiction. it sorta seems like it is in retaliation, just like a week and a half later...

not to start a flame war here: but theres a reason unfiction is better than team xbox and that is unfiction teams care more about the puzzles, the challenge, and the game itself. Team xbox is concerned mainly with the prize images.

That isnt to say no one from either side cares about the other stuff, i want the prize images too but im really here for the fun of the game. TXB is bitter because yay and ARgolonists are better than there colonies, case and point.

Thats why their trying to create a creme de la creme colony, to compete with us. Who ever's bright idea it was however decided that they couldnt convince people to join unless they faked ingame-ness.

I'm from TXB, but I couldn't agree more. If I wanted to start a "elitist" colony I would definitely come here. TXB has been degenerating since those long challenges we had. Quite sad actually.

please, though we may be bitter about the state of each colony, please lets try not to cause a riff. i stated my claim, honestly, half out of anger, and the other half out of facts. i did not mean for us to start judging, and, though my allegiance lies with Unfiction, i beg ppl just to be smart about there decisions. joinging wisdom might not be so wise, but who are we to know yet. i may not believe it, but in the end it's just a game. we'll see how this pays off, and who will have vindication...

I won't believe a single word of this until it's posted on ourcolony.net. Which of course it won't be because it's total bull.
