Except that was only used on the whois, nowhere on the site itself. I don't think the expectation is that most people following such a campaign are going to go rooting in the whois info, or use that as 'IG' interaction. This is like seeing a Gmail address for the Slusho distribution emails - which isn't what we've seen.

True and fair enough.

Actually no, the picture came on Friday the 28th:

The Tagruato site discovery came the next day because we had to translate the recipe to get things to search with, namely the "kaitei no mitsu" which led us to the Menuism post, and subsequently to the company name Tagruato. The review was posted on Monday the 24th, and we can guess that tagruato.jp was waiting for us somewhere between Monday and Friday evening.

Late hour and egocentrism getting the best of me - I remember posting the Tagruato.jp find on the 29th, but forgot the events leading to it started the day before.

So am I crazy or did Eliss delete a post about the lack of reference to the ParafFun recall?

Eliss did make a post after my first. I'm generally not one to double-post and there should have been a post between my two.

 		I'm almost willing to bet my entire paycheck on the missing Chuai Station workers being spies/agents of TIDO, which in turn, caused the crackdown there.

Also, maybe that Tagruato hack was legit after all?

By legit do you mean a real world hack, or a genuine IG action?

 		Please, please let this site be legit. I can't see anyone spending this much time on a gamejack, especially the front page of a gamejack (which I love, BTW). But I guess there is always some guy with no life who would. But anyway, please be IG.

In game.


It seems, for now, too legit to be otherwise. I'm not sure if the info was already out there, but the site gave us info that we did not have before. That alone inked it for me. And even if the hack itself was OOG (I'm starting to understand these acronyms now), I'm still convinced that this site as a whole itself is.

The fact that they presented us with that new information, if indeed it was new, and then praised a hack almost seems to have things falling into place moreso than they were before. Think about it.

    Tagruato is hacked
    *The site is restored
    *That researcher dies
    *People go missing in Chuai, and Tagruato mentions a lockdown and some swift punishment only AFTER an "incident". There's no reason for punishment nor a lockdown after anything less than sabotage. A fistfight ain't cuttin' it. People fight all the time. Nothing new there.
    *We find this site
    *We THEN find out the specifics of the researcher's dead family(the campsite, etc)
    *They PRAISE the hackers, though they do not admit (or refute, for that matter) being a part of it because it would be political suicide that would tarnish an otherwise clean group with an honorable mission statement
    *Not to mention the things they tells us that we didn't know before; they're a psuedomilitant environmentalist group, Chuai is disrupting whale migration patterns.


Or maybe I'm just way off and jumping the gun. I'm still trying to figure out how this is going to be related to the actual effin film.[/list]

 		the g-mail address...
I haven't had a chance to look through the site enough to really see what you're talking about firsthand, but it makes sense to me that since this isn't a corporate website, and it's members might want to remain anonymous, the contact info would have a less traceble e-mail. Or it could be that they're unprofesional. Either way, I think it makes sense, and is IG.

 		This might cross over into [spec], but assuming this is in game, it's interesting how Kazui and most of his blood related family died of a "gas" explosion, perhaps of the rapidly expanding, internal torso type that we've recently seen.

Either that, or foul play by the missing son in law, Toshiro.

.......and talking about Tagruato being evil 'since 1945' - when we already know the company name wasn't Tagruato until about 2004, certainly no earlier than 1989.


This I can't agree with. There are many companies over the years that have changed they're name and are now only refered to in and as they are currently known. Two prime examples would be. KFC once named Kentuky Fried Chicken, now called Kitchen Fried Chicken. Modern documentries refer to it as simply KFC. Id even go as far as to say that there are some here who never even knew what the Org KFC stood for. Another prime example that I loath to mention, but is good for my point here would be WWE World Wrestling Entertainment. This company is now only refered to by that name. Nobody say well way back when we used to be called the WWF. And again some won't even know it was called WWF.

In this case I'm betting that this guy on the site would only know it and refer to it as it is called today. He wouldn't say logically say "They've been evil sind 2004 and before that they where called ...... and where evil then too back to 1945.

Understand my point here? Quite simply over the years and generations people would never know the company as it was so it is only refered to how they know it best. It would be common knowledge for everyone what its called today and only the people researching the company or purposely looking into it's past would even come across it's old name.

On a completely different note... My guess about this sites legitemacy would have to be favorable. Yeah I buy it. I think the idea sprung from the hacker who got into Tagruato. They figured that this would be a cool peice to put together. Surely if there is a big corporation like Tagruato then there must be some Anti-Tag groups or organizations. heh I thihk its pretty cool.

 		Just posted a comment on death of Tag biologist, it appeared instantly which seemed a bit OOGish, anyone else tried or have thoughts?

With regard to the vaidtiy of the site, first impression for me was "...at last, something new..."

Agree too with Underwaterdonkey too, love the front page.

 		While we're on the subject of the company's name, what exactly do those characters mean "Cruel-itin board" mean? Perhaps I can get a friend of mine to translate.

 		It is cruel-etin board and not cruel-itin board. And thats a variant of bull-etin board.

Maybe those guys should know about the Whistle Blower...

 		Update, it now says that the comment is awaiting moderation.

Re-'Cruel-itin Board', isn't it just a play on Bulletin Board?

 		WTF

they're talking about Globochem Labs...Isnt Globochem the name of a fake evil company in HBO's Mr Show ???????????

EDIT : maybe Ichigawa was the Whistle Blower, or at least he knew the guy or sent him some info...he quit a few days before dying which matches the memo thing...
