Okay, this looks like it was translated at dictionary.com. I can't remember, are you the one who can't speak English? That's okay, I think it's cool, I mean damn, I could never be involved in something like this if it was outside my language barrier. So hats off to you, you're doing great.


Thanks... english isn't my primary language so it's a bit difficult to explain what i think... Sorry if that get confusing....

 		Back to the Topic
Okay back to the topic of Missing Persons, here are my questions:
Who is looking for him and her? It was not Beth or Phillip because in an earlier email, Phillip says he 'came across the site' so who is looking for these two people.
Who are they?It is safe to assume that the male is James Avery (based on Phillip's email) but the woman. Marcus Ormond on his piece paper makes reference to her and her 'clean' history. Is she Jame's ex-wife? That assumption seems to be based on the two of them disappearing together but that does not mean because this woman is missing she his ex-wife. Could she be a worker at Metacortechs who was working with Avery and hence explains MLO's surprise at 'why her, too'.
Just my thoughts on these two people.

 		If you click on the Wongmo t-shirt link on wongmo's homepage it brings up a box that says:

We're sorry.
T-shirts currently SOLD OUT.

An anagram of SOLD OUT is LOST DUO. There has got to be a reason for the emphasis on the words SOLD OUT.

The discussion is about whether or not this ARG takes place in the Matrix universe, not whether or not it is "official". The question of relativity to the Matrix is an important one as it impacts not only solutions to unsolved puzzles, but the willingness of some participants to continue.


Alright buddy that's it. Do you honestly think that all the Matrix fans will leave if (and that's a big IF) this ARG turns out to be nonMatrix related? Your self-righteous remarks on other people's opinions about whether or not this is a Matrix spinoff is annoying and tiresome. Maybe you should change your name to mean "Matrix fans suck". Because that's what I'm getting from you. Listen we can all have our own opinions about this game. And so can you. Because that's all it is, just opinions, just beliefs based on pure speculation. Quit acting like it's the gospel truth.

My statements about Matrix relativity are based on a simple premise: There is no proof that this game takes place in the Matrix universe, therefore, it does not take place in the Matrix universe. If there is proof of this ARG taking place in the Matrix universe, please present it. Otherwise, perhaps it is time to shift paradigms and look at this game from a new angle.


Based on this statement, I honestly have to come to the conclusion that you needed a tutor in your science class. "because there's no proof that this ARG takes place in the Matrix, then that means this ARG does not take place in the Matrix." Truthfully? Can I be truthful and honest here? That is just about the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Just because there is no proof that this ARG takes place in the Matrix, it doesn't mean that it does not. Just say it's a personal belief of yours, just your opinion, and get on with it.

The PM's have resorted to the unprecedented action of telling a moderator that the players have missed major elements of both story and puzzles. This tells me that the PM's are frustrated and the majority of players are not getting "it" because they are viewing things through Matrix-colored glasses.


Again, preachy preachy preachy. Get off the damn soapbox, because what makes you think that they are not talking about you as well?

I believe (notice how I used the word believe) that the PMs are annoyed that we're just simply missing something here possibly with "The Nekodas" or something, and maybe it's NOT that all us poor little victims of fanaticism of mainstream American Hollywood big budget "babies" like the Matrix are looking through our Matrix colored glasses. Again, maybe, just maybe.

 		Niobexrev, chill man. Think about it - the dude keeps coming back here to try to convince us of stuff he has no proof of, and to try to discourage us from playing something he's not contributing to anyway. You're not the pathetic one here. No need wasting your time defending yourself to him.

 		The building pic, and Thomas Anderson, and Metacortechs/Metacortex, indicates with no doubts that IS a matrix related game...

The paranormal activity, indicated as Glitches, and it's "normal" point of view by the researchers, it indicates very strongly the presence of "Matrix Philosophy"... what we call PARANORMAL ACTIVITIES in budhism philosophy is seen as NORMAL... and Budhism is commonly seen in conversations like: Merovingian says: Life is all about Cause and Effect... and Neo adds it's about choices...


Other note: About Beth's picture that can be seen in other sites... indicates someting false and/or reproduced based on "other reality"

Well, the 'no doubts' bit doesn't go for everybody, so I'd be a bit more careful throwing it around like this. This could well be an ARG based on a yet-to-be-released movie about paranormal activity, or more specifically, about the biblical plagues re-occurring. As they needed a huge company that would be involved for this ARG, they chose Metacortex, mentioned in the Matrix, and, as an inside-joke to Matrix fans, they added the fact that Thomas Anderson has been "transferred", as to say "nothing here to see folks".

Now I'm not saying I think this is true, I'm only saying that you can twist it any way you like at this point, and I am absolutely not "sure without a doubt" so I cannot really see how you could be.
