I've got a really strong feeling this is dead McGritts, Blindspot hasn't been updated for a few days, Hope's Youtube remains the same, emails are still unanswered and she hasn't updated her blog once since she created it. The last email I received was along the lines of 'too busy to reply to this' which I thought was odd. I dunno, something may be brewing. Spoke to another former follower today and they said they are just gonna watch for now, this 'email soap opera' isn't doing it for them. Must admit I agree, so I'm gonna leave this for a bit and see if anything actually requiring our participation happens. I was really miffed with the reponse Schrijvertje received on Blindspot and be it TINAG or not I felt that was rude and offensive pushing the limits of artistic integrity a little. Since the onset we have been given nothing to do, no puzzles to solve, no cryptograms, no image decoding, no complex backstory no plethora of related sites and so on and so forth and yet I have stuck with it as I found the characters engaging. Since we seem to have reached the stage where regardless of what we email the same old rhetoric is spouted again and again and he story lurches ever on advancing at a rate of a snail I shall hang around and hope for an arg that has more substance and engages the mind a little. It's a damn shame for all those who invested their time and energy in this but I'm joining the growing list of people who truly do not care if Hendler updates his blog or not.
By the way guys, see you in the next arg Very Happy

Sheesh... just got back from a lovely holiday and trying to catch up...

Sorry I seem to have missed all the good stuff. Nice work on decoding the (non)clues they've layed out...

Like you, not sure where it's all leading, if anywhere. Seems like it's turned out to be more of a story with (some) interactivity than an actual ARG... oh well...

I know Phantom, a real crying shame but in the end there was never anything for us to do. I have mailed the PM's asking for an explanation or conclusion or anything that might explain what it was all about but they are dead in every aspect ingame or otherwise. Nevermind I guess.

lI don't know, its hard for me to believe this is dead. It has to many little complexities in the details, there had to be a reason for this. Maybe something has happened. Maybe the blogs haven't been updated for a reason. Maybe this is just part of the story, just a piece of something bigger.

Keep looking for another ARG if you must, I will too, but I will continue to follow this as well.

I really do hope you get a reply McGritts and I sincerely hope that your faith is not without merit yougetmehigh but I have grave misgivings. I have voiced the theory numerous times throughout this that what NcGritts has said is true, simply it was all ad hoc, responsive, made up as they went along. They had begun to contradict themselves, retract the story, ingnore our messages, rely too much on simply saying "...I cannot talk about it...." and were frequently employing the plot device of Hendler-throws-a-strop to avoid explaining any of the inconsitencies we encountered. The evidence to support the theory that it was ill managed and badly executed is so numerous it cannot be ignored and it is a sad fact that so desperate are we to be involved in this that even when the cease to update or respond or plan we excuse it as 'Maybe the blogs haven't been updated for a reason.' We created the ARG around fractured inconsistencies, we found sites that had nothing to do with it, invented plots that didn't exist and saw relevance where there was none and what angers me the most is that I states sooo long ago that this was happening and yet I allowed myself to be caught up in it.
My theory is that none of us will receive a reply or explanation as, let's face it, we received very little reponse when whatever mockery this was was running.
A crying shame that the great and the good around here were so deceived, myself included, but I know there are some who put so much more into this than I did.
Can't imagine how that feels but luckily my suspicions preventd me from defending this mess from the onset as others have done.
