I found this LJ under the External Links section of the Wikipedia article for ARGs, listed as "A new alternate reality experience that appears to be in development." After reading a lot of the topics on this forum, it occured to me that the link might have been added by the game's PM as a trailhead, especially since the edit was made from an anonymous IP, and it's the only edit they've done under that IP.

In any case, the LJ itself is well-written and peppered with unsettling connections and trends. Has anyone else seen this? Can someone take a look? I'm going to have hella nightmares about this.

Bad form, posting your announce in wiki, doesn't that violate their terms of service. Ala Jamie Kaine?

From what I understand the problem with the Jamie Kaine wikipedia entry was that it treated Jamie Kaine as a real person and not a fictional character. This entry is admitting that it's an ARG. Is this really supposed to be the rabbithole? I guess TIAG. Rolling Eyes

EDIT: Just took a quick look and does this look familar?

The part that makes me uncertain is the lack of interactivity, as far as I can see. I can't find any real clues that a player could follow up on, despite the plethora of events in the blog that can be pieced into a mystery story. The only thing I can find is that he links to some "Magic Trevor" flash animations, one of which involves making cows disappear, which reminds me of the cow multilation story in the blog. He links to episodes 1 and 2, but if you watch the third, it flashes, "CALL 0800 GET COATS!" The number gets a message that tells you to call another number, which appears to be a phone sex line.

I guess I'm probably overreacting.

All right, well it makes me feel better to know that the phone number is nothing, but I still feel like the disappearing cows thing is deliberate.

You're disappointed in the chupacabra? It's a goat-sucker!! Well, maybe in this case a cow and chicken sucker. So a vachecabra? Chupapollo? (I speak a little French, not Spanish). But I do know one thing:

Fear the chupacabra!
