IMHO, LonesomeOctober is a fan of ARGs and of making fun of cultural aspects. The Owen responding video is probably one of the funniest things I've seen on Youtube.

Lonesome October is also clearly not unfamiliar with the ARG scene, as he gives fairly detailed shout-outs to both the Beast and to Cathy's Book.

Well, Cassiiswatching myspace may not be afiliated with cassieiswatching youtube but is certanly playing a game.

I'm on her friends list, and I send a PM telling her I could help. Got this as a reply:

let me.


Anyone has any clue as to what taht link could be? I tried a inurl search on google and using it on tinyurl, but no luck whatsoever.

On her myspace there are four pics. The beastsign, this:



And these two tarot cards:





Then, her profile now says "the truth is in the fourth house" and "two cards are found"

So I wrote another PM, asking where the rest of the card were, and she replied with that map with the red crosses.

Finally I send another PM, just in case this very confusing lead of spin offs reaslly turns into a game, I'll post it as a spoiler:

We've basically confirmed that the myspace Cassie is fake, due to the video on YouTube forbiding embedding shortly after it was discovered, and the youtube profile updating with "Bree tells lies....so does myspace..." shortly after. What we've got there is likely a gamejacker, possibly trying to promote the band that keeps popping up around the myspace, with 'Cassie's song'.

Also, the myspace never tells us anything that youtube Cassie hasn't already.

I know the myspace is fake, I myself posted that a couple of post up. But I'm new to the ARG scene, and this got me wondering. After all, the cassieiswatching is itself a spin off LG15, so maybe mysapce is a spinoff game of cassieisswatching.

But then, I am a huge noob here. It is common to have people trying to mislead a game, gamejacking a lead and making their own stuff? Or is it that this whole LG15 is out of the hands of 'the creators'?

Have there any case where one ARG spawned another one?

Yeah, what is called 'gamejacking' is trying to post misleading or false clues that can really wreck havok on the actual game. They are best to be ignored. Games have spawned from other games but usually AFTER the orginal game has concluded. But things like these are just people trying to get attention/hoping the creators will write them into the story.

Well this may or may not be a full ARG, but if this is the kind of excitment you get from playing ARGs, then I got myself a new hobby.

I-ll go now and keep hitting reload on that damn LG15 forum untill I see a link.

Anybody know what this is:

It's now the default pic on Cassie's Myspace.


Update:

Someone else found it: http://altreligion.about.com/library/glossary/bldefsmarkbeast.htm


it's now changed:


The zip for Ontario, Canada?

UPDATE: yeah.. that'd be ontario, california. I'm an idiot. I knew that didn't make sense and typed it anyway.

We've had one set up in #lg15 from the original thread in Timewasters.

Of course, I'm still not entirely convinced that the cassieiswatching thing is being run by the same people who did LG15 (after all, they have been pretty busy with the media the past few days), but #lg15 is as good of a place as any if you guys wanna use it.

Well, at least some good has come out of this ... new members to the fourms. Welcome! Very Happy


Thanks. This whole head hunt thing left me so hungry for a good ARG that I've been trying to join all the new rumors, even that morbid AV thing, since my tolerance levels are pretty high.

I keep hopes about cassie. Maybe there is some hidden meaning to the tarot card, and she meant that most people who commented were wrong to see just a card. Maybe someone did took the real clue and will come out with it.

In any case, the hype was really exciting, and I got to post first on a popular video, wich may be juvenile, but was a fun rush.
