I am constantly impressed at how much people can read into a website that basically gives you nothing.

If only people spent this much time and effort on games actually playing instead of on sites that show no indication of being an ARG. Because, you know, just because it's in News & Rumors doesn't mean that it is an ARG. Just look at the Spam thread if you don't believe me


I heart rowan. And thanks for pointing that out, because I was so confused with that forlorn atrocious abomination known as the Origen thread being in News & Rumours. I thought it was the next best ARG evar! But now that they moved it to the banishment forums (where everyone is a moderator!) I can finally see it for what it really is: a bedridden pile of mutilated flapdoodle!

origin, 1833 - originally "the stuff they feed fools on" [Marryat]; an arbitrary formation.

In other words, balderdash. Tommyrot. A gallimaufry of logorrhea, as it were.

And for those of you (like me) who had no idea what Sin Vraal said...

Gallimauphry - A jumble / A hodgepodge
Logorrhea - Excessive use of words

Not all girls, DM... just Phaedra. She's one kooky, intelligent cat.

I mean, she's a heteroclite, perspicacious non compos.
