Made a few more changes. It's up on the blog. Next, the satellite story.

-Investors should be concerned, and potential investors should think twice before you invest in Yoshida's irresponsible and irrational belief system...

-Tagruato's space grab...

-"geostationary" over what and whom, exactly?

Deny any responsibility on the hacking again.

But support it.

So I'm feeling pretty good about The Effect's website. It's fast. Google appears to like it. Not too complicated, but with a little flair. I've run out of ideas. I would appreciate some fresh cracks at the banner/header. Not that the current one isn't great, but it could be better given some of the skills I've seen on display around here. Also, while we're fully staffed (3 other people have blog access), I'm starting to get the sense that either the idea isn't as exciting as it was, or some people have felt marginalized or excluded. Sorry if the latter is the case. That said, if you've been biting your tongue, don't. I'm a big boy and much prefer honesty over tact.

As for the header, I'm still trying to get two friends to design a couple...they're both good at graphic design, so whatever I get them to churn out should be pretty cool, if they ever do it...they're lazy people, lol.

Personally, I'm very tired today, so, tomorrow, I should start getting back into this.

Interesting. The meta descriptions in the source are entertaining, but the whois comes up godaddy/DBP. I smell another gamejack/fansight.

Gonna see if I can shake out some sort of breathless, 'omg, what evils lurk in the hearts of Tagruato!' thing about the space exploration tonight, like I did for the good doctor. I've been keeping my eye in, but the last few days have been a bit hectic, so I haven't been as noisy.

But the latest articles look good - it'll be interesting to see where Taggie goes from here.

Tagruato Satellite Launch - Another Example of Reckless Activity by Ganu Yoshida?

Tagruato recently published an article on their website championing their latest frivolous toy - a geostationary satellite that they have recently launched into space. Not content with controlling and exploiting our oceans, our homeless animals and our elderly, they are seemingly driven to have a monopoly on our natural resources and our very lives. The shadowy secrecy surrounding this satellite means that their motives for constructing such a device, which seems arbitrary, given their focus on destroying our oceans' ecosystems, could be endless, ranging from monitoring the general public from the sky to ruthlessly attempting to locate profit-turning minerals (as exhibited by their latest attempts to exploit the third-world country of Tanzania's mineral deposits, masquerading as a well-meaning corporation by passing off the attempt as a pursuit of medical breakthroughs, a lie Tagruato has spun to justify previous exploitation of poor countries and defenseless ecosystems).

What is even more shocking is the disregard malevolent company CEO Ganu Yoshida displayed in ordering the satellite to launch, overriding the abortion of the launch despite the terrible weather at the launchpad and the possible dangers that launching the satellite in such weather could have entailed. This recklessness is just another in a long list of examples of Yoshida disregarding rationality and cautiousness in favour of unethical, dangerous practices, following in the path of his 'gifting' of Slusho! to elderly people and to homeless animals for reasons that are far more suspect than those he tells the unwary public. What is next for this irrational man?

If Ganu Yoshida can disregard the safety of the elderly, animals, and even his own employees and financial interests (the latter being something we'd suspect the man to care about), what is to stop him from endangering others, perhaps even the everyday person on the street? Yoshida and Tagruato must be stopped, before they damage our Earth catastrophically and permanently.

--------------------------------------------------

So, whaddya think? Criticism is welcome.

i don't know if you guys wanna post anything or discuss among "the effect", but an interesting piece of paper was allegedly received with a slusho t-shirt. references people missing, and whatnot. just thought it might be cool if the effect started pushing for answers as to what is going on at the chuai station.

Personally, I don't think we should post re:the piece of paper until a) it's corroborated, b) we know what the Japanese on the other side says, and c) we give it a couple of days. If we've got a whistle-blower in Tagruato, we don't want to make Tagruato aware of it just yet - if we're playing the game that way, we don't want to make Tagruato suspicious and compromise our source.

Not that we're IG, of course. I'm speaking from an OOG-but-playing-as-if-IG sense.

^ Exactly. The assumptions we've made about "The Cause" are bad enough.

Looks good to me. You comfortable uploading it? I'd only pepper it with the relevant links: satellite and Tanzania articles. I'd thought about going back and responding to all the press releases on Tagruato, but I like your approach better.
