It's most definitely in-game - site registered by Hazel Grian.

I'm fairly new, too (played one and working through a couple others). Near as I can tell a game-jack is when a game "hijacks" a legit site. Forinstance the lost your pet site.

The way I understand it, a gamejack is when someone tries to veer an existing ARG into material that they created (that was not part of the original ARG), in an attempt to deceive the players of the original ARG that the new ARG is part of the old ARG.

But I didn't think of whois-ing it. Smile

From the looks of things, our friend Eva has some time management issues.

This was pointed out by Sylvia on IRC.

Her first video blog was posted on Jan. 13th, a saturday. However, in this update, she says that she went out looking for Erwin on Friday and had an accident, the results of which we couldn't see in the first video. Did she just fail to mention them or what?

Perhaps it has to do with her "missing time" problem.

There's a few more pictures in the gallery. I don't have access to a black and white cat, so I just sent her a picture of my cat Hee-nay. He's the very sleepy looking tabby on the left.

Yeah, she just forgot to mention it, methinks. She did say that she was housebound, which would hint at her already having broken her leg.

Anybody see the new comment on Eva's blog? Does a valid-looking whois automatically disqualify a site from being IG?

Depends. Do a search for the domain name though and you'll see quite a link history. Unlikely that it's in game.
