I'm curious as to why she was making her binary posts 'n' such in the occult lj comm? I guess, maybe to pull people in, but seems like more people were complaining then interested.


She did the same in other communities not even related with this kind of stuff. Possibly to get attention. She even posted the image of the orange eyes in the middle of a livejournal thread, apparently about football.
Again, the interests list could also be for the sake of getting attention, and just that.

I'd say it's because they are merely kids that think the occult is cool, rather than ARGers who actually want to solve puzzles and decipher random crazy stuff. Instead of being interested (like us), they were angered (because they want to be spoonfed occult nonsense rather than play an ARG).

Also, my quick search into 4chan gave in nothing. /x/ (the paranormal forum) has nothing, and /b/ (random, internet's hell)... I'm not exactly one to get in there.

Thus, I'll leave 4chan out of question, and ask her later why she used an ED link, if there's any sense behind it.

Why should she care if anybody is angered?
If there is even one user from this occult forum who plays now, it was worth it. If not... who cares.

She got us interested, that is good enough, imo. =D


I got to know of her when I was in a IRC channel, and a friend of mine told me this "instigationplus" had just added her as a friend. I went to check, saw imediatly this could be an ARG or similar. Thus, I jumped into the train.

Both Aiobhan and myself (long time friends) were picked up through the first post in the occult forum, so I guess that's something...

Second one for me. I was in Deus City for a while, but lack of internet made me lose interest in it, and also, I wasn't in it since the beggining.

We caught this one at a good time. Just tag along in the mistery~

Was just reading the ARG Player tutorial, the section about hidden files in images.

Is it worth to give a try and see if any of the images have something "inside" them? Like the orange eye, just got too much of my attention.

Finding an ARG as its starting up isn't that hard.

Finding one that you can join from the start that actually doesn't putter out and continues to the end is rare.

Found the JP Morgan one. Still no idea on the correlation/relation, other than the whole Mayday thing.

I agree with Ubergeek.

I'd also like to say that I know you're sitting on this page and refreshing it every 2 minutes, Z.

Hell, I'm doing about the same. Also, I'm trying to grasp this whole MayDay thing.

Edit: Off to work, I need a break for a few hours.
