I feel so betrayed.

I'm not sure I can play these ARGs anymore. They just hurt my soul to such a degree that I just can't further subject myself to their idiocy and general disregard for the love between two people.


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I loved Nancy...
*sniff*

WHY GOD WHY?!?

Code:

gloweevil.jpg : negative
[enigma@qube ~]$

Scrappy, if you are going to post a picture, at least be sure that it has a message stegged in it, for no discernible plot-related reason.

NO! NO!
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
You're wrong I tell you. Nancy was framed!


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
That Senate investigating committee, led by Hillary Blimpton has something to do with this. I just know it.


The truth is out there.

 		Don't talk to me until there's a post-nuclear ARG channel at chat-sol. Even post-apocalyptic games need all the tools. However, the text in the chat window should be glow-in-the-dark green to match the weevils, and flaming is required.
