Oooops, double post again... but it's an addendum to the last post..

Here are the speakers:
http://immersedconference.com/speakers.htm

Pastors Billy & Jennifer Huffman are the founding youth pastors of the Immersed Conference. They have been pastoring the next generation for the last decade and have a driving passion to redefine the youth culture of America based on the Word of God. They currently reside in sunny Seattle, WA. with their three exceptionally good-looking children: Judah, Caleb & Serenity. Pastor Billy's love for God and the next generation is contagious to all those who come in contact with him. He has been a role model for the many leaders that now run Generation Surge ministries, without him and his influence these people would not be who they are today. His gift in communicating the word of God will leave you thirsty and searching for more.



I stand corrected. Rose provided proof that the videos are indeed from a religious ministry.
Actually, I think their videos are a cute way to promote their conference IF they have nothing to do with the tags they listed.
But, as a minister, my only concern would be their YouTube tags linking them to secular things such as Britney Spears and 1-18-08.
Then again... that's just common advertising techniques to reach a target audience, namely, in this case, young folks. Nothing wrong with that, unless someone is offended through anti-religious bias under the absurd belief that people of faith shouldn't be allowed to participate equally in society. I for one enjoy Britney's music and am very interested in 1-18-08. So why shouldn't other religious folks be too?

I just want to let every one know that I am not going to get in to this squabble. The fact is that this is very well an arg and I would like to play it even if it does have religious undertones. I am not a god fearing citizen of this planet but I sure do like a good game and I hope this turns out to be one. Now can we play the game instead of quarreling?

Have no idea what an ARG is, Iam aware that the tags are there for attention. Never disputed this and I've no a clue why you think I have.


not saying you did dispute it, just letting you know that one arg has nothing to do with the others, from your posting of the ethan haas material on this thread, it seemed to me you thought they were connected.

Quote:
4) there are several websites which disagree... (it is a possibility that the website and the Christian conference have nothing in common whatsoever and that their shared name is merely coincidental... if you do a web search just on the phrase "everything is going to change" you will see MANY religious links which have nothing to do ith each other. I might recommend that everyone who sees "Christian scandal" in these videos, that they put a check on their automatic bias against Christianity. If anyone can verify proof of any connection between the two groups, let's not resort to slander).


I'm not into slander, if you'll read my posts in this thread, you'll see that.
Nothing i've written tonight was intended to be flaming or antagonistic... just information. sorry if it came off that way.

the connection is there, and i found tonight that if you are quick enough to be able to click that yellow dot that comes up on the /time.htm screen, it takes you straight to the immersed conference page that also has the video on it.

Thanks. Would have been nice to have just received an answer to the simple question, but I'll take the time to go out of my way to check the site.

Thanks for the info. This post is not meant to be as belligerant as it might come across (well, maybe just a tad, but no real offenses meant).

Same here. Brownie

my thoughts on the tag choices

ok, i do see they took Britney Spears off (yes, bad choice on that one) but i think the other tags are there only to grab the attention of the ARG players that they know already do tag searches for those ARGs.. and not them trying to be dishonest in their tagging.

Guys, my point is that they are using misleading tags to get attention. I explained why that bothered me. If it doesn't bother you, that is fine, but I would appreciate not being characterized as having knee-jerk reactions, or any other bias for or against religion.

My opinion is just my opinion.

I don't see this being an ARG, other than the fact they label it as such. All I see so far is a few videos promoting a conference and with dates that update.

what about the whispering in the video: "charlie is coming" and "charlie was here 2-15-08" written on the wall? Charlie's got to be somebody....
they wanted specifically ARG players to look at it, or else they would have tagged it a different way.

you dont see anything promising in that?

eta: Rose, I apologize for making you feel like that. I hope we can continue to play this, (if it does indeed lead somewhere).

If you want to look at previous marketing they have done
Go to the media page on immersedconference.com
If you click on the media player it will link you to the promos and videos from 2006, 2007 and the promo from 2008.

I don't want to discourage anyone from playing who finds this interesting.

I haven't seen any evidence of any other sites. I did look around to see if anything had been posted by the "director" of the Youtube videos, but didn't see anything.

I'm sure someone will post something more when a new video is posted.

lol, this is definitely a game.

The video on everythingisgoingtochange.com shows a frame at the end right before it goes to the gray and white image.

I believe this frame shows: nothingisgoingtochange.com.

nothingisgoingtochange requires a user name and a password to enter, so that's as far as I have gotten.

Edit: Also, the date now reads 11.16.07

Something odd, the domain name nothingisgoingtochange.com is registered by a totally different person, they even used a different domain name regesterant. The registeration was made in 2006, so either the ARG was being planned for a while or you read wrong:

[douglas@DougsDesktop ~]$ whois nothingisgoingtochange.com
[Querying whois.verisign-grs.com]

Odd, they apparently have no firewall, every single port on their system is open.
everythingisgoingtochange.com has a SMTP, IMAP, FTP, SSH, HTTPS, directory server, SMTPS, IMAPS, and POP3S servers on.

EDIT 2: When I connected to its SMTP sever, http://orthanc.site5.com/ was included in the HELP command. That site has a phpsysinfo script running, im assuming thats their server.

Just found this ans was intrigued. If this is a religious ARG, and they're talking about having to go underground and everything changing, maybe it's a post-Second Coming setting? Wish I could go up to Atlanta to chech things out...

Anyway, If it was post- Second Coming, that would explain any roundaboutness. (I don't think that's even a word...)

Yeah, that is odd. I may have made a mistake.

It's still an interesting coincidence that there is an opposite website that has a login script though. [/quote]

Now that I look at it after taking a nap, I don't really see what I saw before. lol

Arrow I might just be going a little crazy due to lack of sleep.
