I don't see it as stealth marketing.. its just another way to get people to look who wouldn't be looking otherwise, yes, but they're not trying to make money on this game, from what I can see so far.

Its funny the knee jerk reactions that a Christian based ARG have stimulated. No one thought twice about the video murders on Ten Dead as being 'unhealthy', or the Electric Church's bizarre storyline, how about that "healthy" ARG called "The Human Pet".

And Chaotic Fiction ARGS by nature are stealthy and discrete and if you know anything about the REMNANT or what it will be, you will know that its nature is going to be 'underground'. Just because a church stands for honesty, doesn't mean they don't enjoy a good fictionalized game that might educate people about what they believe.

Dont discount it because it comes from a place you wouldnt normally think about as being ARGish...isnt that being a little closed minded?

You're right, I don't see them asking for money anywhere yet. (see below)

Why does a church using stealth marketing techniques to get more hits on their youtube video bother me? I have a mistrust of religious groups who aren't upfront about who they are and what they are doing. (Actually that mistrust probably applies to any game that uses fake tags to get more hits on their videos. ) If they want to be seen as just another marketer looking to increase youtube views, then they have accomplished that goal.

Just tell people who you are from day 1 - that way you reach people who would be happy to play.

If I have the right page it seems that the conference costs $39 (plus you get a free T-shirt) before January 15 and $47 after (no T-shirt)

Nothing says desperate like "Britney Spears" in the tag of your video.

With all of the REAL odd and covert things going on in the world, websites like EverythingIsGoingToChange.com do not thrill me but honestly freaks me out. It's almost as if phoney conspiracies like this are intentionally being created by huge corporations in an attempt to make ALL conspiracy theories look like a joke so that no one will believe them at all (and that is VERY dangerous to society, because then governments and businesses can commit major attrocities, cover it up, and then give a totally different story of what happened - and who then will believe anyone who comes forth with the truth!).

But, as far as this site goes (I'm assuming it is a promo for a video game or something...?), I just wanted to mention two interesting things that I noticed.

First, a person on another thread of this board says that the date he saw at the site was 10-12-07, and the creator of this thread says the date he saw way 10-18-07. I just saw the site for the first time today (Saturday 10-13-07) and the date given to me was 10-26-07. Very strange.

Secondly, although this site is a .com address, neither the Internet Explorer window tag for it nor the Yahoo! book mark name for this site shows it's .com name, but shows up as "EXPECT MORE..."

Just some oddities I wanted to mention.
But there seems to be some disagreement on one thing that I'd like to get input on. Namely, is this site associated with 01-18-08, or is it just an unrelated coincidence like EthanHaasWasRight.com, which is registered to the Freemason's Washington Memorial under the name of Albert Pike (the Sovereign Grand Pontiff of Freemasonry back in the 1800's)?

Thanks rose.

Just another question and a comment.

Could someone PLEASE tell me what "Viral Marketing" is? I've seen it used several times when browsing for stuff on 1-18-08. "Viral" implies something containing a virus, and in computer terms that is a VERY BAD thing.

Also, just a comment on something odd.
When you type "EverythingIsGoingToChange.com" into Yahoo's search browser, the only thing that comes up is two links to this site (that's how I found you guys)! The everythingisgoingtochange.com site itself doesn't even come up, nor does it show links to the YouTube videos.

hmg,

ok, first let me say your 'conspiracy theory theory.. is well rather humorous. LOL.

second, as someone else has stated.. ethan haas, 1-18-08 and any other tags on these two videos are only there to get the tag surfers attention. This arg has nothing to do with those games (or er lack of games, in the case of ethan)

if you've read all the posts in this thread, and read all the websites affiliated with this game, you'll find this is about a youth conference... maybe (and i hope there is) there will be something else but i doubt it will be a video game.
who knows though.

yahoo.com doesnt know everything.

if you want to learn some of the terminology try this forum:

hope this helps,

eta: oh and about the the .com not being in the book mark, when the page has an html tag naming the title, the book mark saves as the title of the page.. not the url. hth!

oh, and if you register (do it! it's free) you will be able to edit your previous posts.

There's nothing worse then people getting into anal debates over fiction (which is why I never layed D&D), but I will comment anyway....
