 		[Trailhead?] Moirae (Don't Tell August)
Received this video response to my ARGfest coverage video on Youtube. It was posted September 4th (just over a week ago)

Appears fairly well done.

Not sure if this might be a lead-in to another youtube CF, or just a creative video series... But, considering it's labeled "Prologue", I'm sure there will be more to come.

It's posted by Till Hofmann (his only video post), and also posted by Froschblick (who has a number of video posts in his profile).

Tags for Till's are just: Moiraie, Prologue, Till, Hofmann
Tags for Frosch's are: alexander, litschka, moirae, prologue
And Frosch's video links to http://www.donttellaugust.com (which seems to be currently unavailable - not even registered)

Looking for "Alexander Litschka" we come to his MySpace profile which includes the same video on Myspace TV.

His myspace profile includes interests such as "Alice in Wonderland" and "Rabbits".

Anyhow, by the video, the Moiraes locked the character in this room or cage that he's in. Seems he's giving 2 choices to determine a man's fate - August (Nugenstern? can't tell the pronunciation on the last name).

Aaaand here we are - Alexander (likely a DJ who also goes by Froschblick) has a homepage: http://www.alexanderlitschka.de which then leads us to: http://alexanderlitschka.de/MOIRAE/Moirae/Moirae.html which includes the video, and what looks like it should be a countdown, but reads "ARG Transmission 33:33:33:33" (it's static there)

* More info on the Moirae at wikipedia

So who's Till Hofmann (google returns numerous results)?
Who's in the video?
Who is August somethingorother?
Why are there links to www.donttellaugust.com when the domain isn't even registered? (/me is tempted to nab the domain right now Razz)
What next?

edit: fixed Hofmann spelling (one 'f', two 'n's)

 		Looks freaking creepy but damn awesome. I think we may be a bit ahead though. Sounds like another waiting game to me.

 		Long time, thebruce.

I don't know, looks a bit too weird for my tastes, but I'll tag along for now, see where it's going.

 		Hmm, looks a bit "arty" but if it is a new ARG then I'm getting in on the ground floor, been a while since I've experienced an ARG, I'm getting the shakes.

 		I'd totally be interested in playing this one, but one question. How creepy are the videos? I did a very stupid thing before and watched a really scary ARG video, so...I need to know first.

 		Ooo, I like a whole lot. Modern creepy mixed with ancient mythology, just my bag. The production value seems pretty darn good too.

So, with some poking around, the Moirae page on Alexander's site has a blog archive page refered to in it's source. Archiv.html But there's nothing there yet except the option to subscribe to an RSS feed that doesn't work. However, it may just be a link problem as rss.xml seems to do the trick.

Also, the Froschblick youtube video has been removed. Perhaps he is the PM and didn't plan on youtube automatically associating the similar file with the IG one?

For anyone who wants to download and keep the video, it will be at this address for only the next 24 hours! After that you'll have to convert it yourself. Zabar conversion page

 		I'm likin' it!

Anyone get a load of the other Froschblick videos? The "Quickie" ones in particular? Fun stuff.

 		I'll watch for now.

Since it wasn't mentioned, it seems this game also has an RSS feed that isn't being utilized yet www.alexanderlitschka.de/MOIRAE/Moirae/rss.xml and there's a link off the Moirae page on alexanderlitschka.de to http://alexanderlitschka.de/MOIRAE/Moirae/Archiv.html. That page also seems dormant at the moment.

So the video is cool, but why leave all these links out there that lead to nothing? I'm also a little confused about what we're supposed to do now or even when we'll hear something else. I guess that'll all come together when we get the next video.
