Is DomeCentral coming across as a person or a computer to you folks?

It has kind of auto-bot vibe to the things I'm reading.

I think its a person pretending to be a computer, the responses have been slightly different and Stormalong (I think) got a slightly amusing reply Razz

 		I agree with the person pretending to be a computer, because the responses are all customized to the question asked, that is the way it seems to me.

 		uhh
DomeCentral (9:37:51 PM): Could you state that again
DomeCentral (9:37:56 PM): for the rcord
DomeCentral (9:37:59 PM): record

can computers make typos... and then realize they made a mistake and then correct themselves... im sure they can... but why would someone program a computer to be wrong

 		DomeCentral is definitely a person because he remembered me from a previous game. I know that for sure because of the password he gave me. Guess I'm not allowed to say anymore, but I was pretty excited about it.

 		Well... it was more of a reference to a little conversation I had with the PM last time. Plus he said they've been waiting for me when I told my email address.

I think so too, both mine and my Partners passwords are based on our screennames.

I played SubcityCentral last Summer, which was a virtuquest game and registered with them, plus had the phonecall from City Of Domes, so they know who I am.

But my partner is new to all this, she's not registered with virtuquest or ever played an ARG before.

 		My password is not based on my screenname, but they do know who I am as i won second prize in the last CEO game. Beyond that im staying schtum about my login like a good citizen! lol

I am very surprised that we havent yet been told what colour we are, I thought that would become apparent when we got the logins. Theres no real need to run if your not a red.

 		Maybe they wanted to show you they recognised you by giving you the unique password you have?

I think we are all gonna be Reds, therefore we will all need to run! Shocked

Yes, I have no AIM profile and my password is not based on my screen name, but a personal hobby of mine. Which is kinda creepy considering to determine this, the PMs somehow found my somewhat obfuscated website.

Big fat [SPEC]But my hunch is that eventually they will start to announce generations that are up for carousel (e.g. 8s or 2s or what have you). I don't know if anyone will ever have a specfic color.[/SPEC]
