Well, I can't give you a positive answer, but I can say that the three Matrix forum Metacortex threads that I was following originally all died quiet whimpering little deaths a while ago. Well, some died more abruptly than others, one still gets intelligent posts sporadically (as in, a few times a week at most), but none are actively following the game. There was a fourth Matrix forum that had a thread that I'd never read, so I dunno about that one...and wasn't comingsoon following the game too? I'd never read that one either, dunno...

I'd be pretty surprised if there were other substantial groups playing the game...but feel free to go ahead and surprise me, I'm curious now.

Well, someone got to this question before I did. i've been wondering the same thing.

The Coming Soon thread ought to be taken out of your lists of discussions. It was closed due to spamming.

I have a thread here at cinecon: Unlocking Metacortex. I keep it updated. However, as if to prove bWF's theory (aka "Matrix sucks"), when the matrix fans found out this might not be matrix related they've all but stopped replying. I get a few replies every now and then. Recently got a couple intelligent ones. But despite my posts of the agent, er, pics of some guy in a suit wearing sunglasses and an earpiece, I don't get much feekback. Oh, well. I like doing my little updates no matter who reads them.

[EDIT] I believe there was another thread started in the Coming Soon forums, but people don't take it seriously, so... nothing to see there.

The SomethingAwful.com forums have a tiny thread that very loosely follows the ARG. Last I checked (yesterday), they were still hung up on the tapestry puzzle and there was no mention of CDs or physical locations.

Of course, finding the thread [needle] among the pages and pages of threads about childish crap [haystack] took quite a while--but, then, the threads about childish stuff is what SA is all about.

This forum Collective Detective seems to have a lot of recent posts. Beth's files are at the top. But they don't know about all the offline action either except for the phone call.

[Omnie]

Oh, heh, I was going to mention Collective Detective, but I forgot. They kind of died away too...the last post that I saw was from Nov. 3. These latest ones were posted yesterday and involve someone trying to translate Beth's AI man files. He was directed to this forum.

It's because we're just so cool.

[niobexrev]

I really doubt any other forum is quite on top of things as we are. It's not bragging, it's just because if you're like me (and a lot of people are probably worse) you check for updates at the top of the hour and maybe in the middle if you feel like it. However I'm not part of the all nighter crew. I'm not bashing them. They're the ones solving the damn puzzles. Just bitter whenever something happens and I'm asleep when it happens.

[Azathoth666]

Heh... you and me both niobexrev... I tend to flick back and forth and hit "refresh" every time I change a window to see if there are any new posts... and it's people like you and I who are always just behind on the puzzle solves (and right at the forefront of the spec and discussion). I know timezones don't help us, but still.

Big props to the peeps with the hardcore addiction: 'Thrax, Bri, Chancesend, yeahyeah, xnbomb... you guys are just at the top of the list that springs to mind, but I think it's a testament to the creative talent gathered here that people like me who sit on these forums all day at work and check back every 10-15 minutes for updates are TOO SLOW!

Much respect to the Metacortex Family!

Then we need a name!

Re: Then we need a name!

[Semioclast]

I like that one

[Tobester]

Re: I like that one

[Ehsan]

Okay make some more suggestions about the name and I'll collect them and run a sticky poll..

that way we'll have a name for everyone involved even on other channels or chat rooms.. maybe even your friends and family can be spoonbenders.. or something

Cloudmakers sounds grand.. spoonbenders sounds.. umm.. kitcheny.. maybe we can figure it out once we find out what our role is in this game!

[Muffin]
