The fact is that, unlike with Tagruato, there are all these inconsistencies, and nothing directly pointing to this site from an in game website. There are all these little bits that make us reluctant to believe its IG completely.

Personally, I hope its in game, and I just want confirmation. Like them been the group T.I.D.O.Wave been mentioned on Tagruato. Also hopefully they will explain the name, because it still doesnt sit right with me, and doesnt fit with the other names by that group.

 		Proof of IG status?!
ok, first off I don't see how anyone could believe that bold futura was IG, as the original page was an escalator & a robot warrior. I see they have upgraded since then ut with immediately OOG, why bother? Maybe they have deceived people now?

Here is my logic for tidowave.com being IG (as long as the timeline I saw was correct):
- 1st Tagruato hack came on Thanksgiving weekend (meaning 11/23-25/07).
- Noone found a meaning in the photo placed there takign them anywhere.
- Site was "re-hacked" (cause we missed something?)
- tidowave.com discovered 12/2/07 by a dedicated follower (or even possibly thrown out by game managers, but original poster here looks legit)

I did a Google.com search on "tidowave.com" Google has a cache of the site from 11/23/07 - the day OF or BEFORE the hack.

Hopefully the link & info below posts well to the forum, if not go to google & DIY to confirm (before they update their cache with a new crawl from all the new hype!!!):

This is G o o g l e's cache of http://tidowave.com/ as retrieved on Nov 23, 2007 01:17:22 GMT.

 		I say its hard to beleive anyone could beleive this site is OG.

It is sooo IG, from additional informaiton from the stuff we already know, beleiveable facts about Tagruato and the design all leads me to beleive this is an IG site

Surely that settles it. Either we accept this is IG or we have to dismiss the hack as well.

Excellent work jfiscus

To play devil's advocate, you yourself are providing the same definition of a "gamejack": a site created based on information we already know that appears to be part of the game itself.

Google cache seems to confirm it as IG. Nothing on the Internet Archive, but I didn't expect anything there anyway.

 		anyone wondered whether we should send details of the mysterious note in slusho deliveries to T.I.D.O. It may be that they do not know of this message.

we should write an e-mail collaborating together with the wording describing the note, and if they request it to be forwarded we should do so.

I don't think the PM's could point any more directly from within an IG site (Tagruato),
providing the "hack" is IG. Roman numerals I - IV are easily correlated to their specific
embedded watermark images (TIDO), while Roman numeral V isn't associated with any
hidden image or word, but rather the tidal wave, or "the great wave" itself…

I thought the name itself was a rather clever play on words as well - T.I.D.O. Wave =
tidal wave - "Defending our oceans in the T.I.D.O. Wave against Tagruato"…fits right
along with protecting mountains in the P.E.A.K. Offensive against Broad Galvanic and
defending our river water in the D.R.A.I.N. Movement against GloboChem Labs, which,
btw, we have no acronyms for either. Roman numeral V doesn't point to any letter(s)…
tho it seems to point to what one could consider the "ocean", it seems less of a stretch to
correlate it to "wave". If Roman numeral V correlated to an O, the PM's would have
buried another watermark name that began with an O within the wave itself to maintain
uniformity I would think. At the very least, the second O in TIDOO is a stretch - TIDO
Wave is a more tailored fit.

Seems as if some are stuck on the inconclusiveness of an obvious acronym as it may
pertain to IG status - the only acronym we do have is the one we made up out
of desperation and creativity to achieve some type of progression and meaning…which
kinda makes the necessity for an acronym irrelevant. Don't get me wrong - TIDOO is
clever as it corresponds to the tagline "Tagruato Is Destroying Our Oceans", but there is
nothing to support the second O…that bothered me until Eliss located this site.

The site was registered 11 days prior to the first Tagruato hack -
everyone has to decide for themselves, but…

* the Tagruato "hack" is OOG = T.I.D.O. Wave.com is OOG.
* the Tagruato "hack" is IG = T.I.D.O. Wave.com is IG

Logically it's one or the other - especially considering the additional information
regarding Kazui Ichigawa's death and memorial service as it correlates to the updated
message via Tagruato…

 		Of course.

I was about to do it but Airteff did it. And also sent donation monies. Check this very thread at page 8. Comments need moderation though so we'll see what happens...

Edit : this is regarding keeno_82uk's upper post.

I sent them a message yesterday, just asking if they knew that someone at Slusho! was sending out messages about incidents at Chuai. No reply yet. :/ Maybe someone should forward them the note or something.

 		Or even send an indesign scan of the note to put on a t-shirt, since the only way to send stuff is thru the tidowavetshirts gmail accnt

 		Agree with Doc!, Have only 2 ways to go on this. I believe this could be IG, Hopefully this will provide some more information as to:

1) Why Chuai Station is not operational as these activists groups tend to keep a eye on things.

2) Maybe some info on frickn Teddy!

and BTW, Doc put out that smoke will stunt your growth youngman!

 		I agree with the theory that we were supposed to figure it out earlier and that is why we got the second hack. TIDOO was our creation, not theirs, because, let's face it, they wouldn't want us searching through 11 million pages of cute dolls to find a new site.

Now can someone please get down to the serious business of finding a new clue please ! Very Happy

Morning, Doc Awk! I could not find anything new or revelating on the site though. Everything up there is what we already had known. Although I must admit the November 24 Google cache of the site is interesting.

Why no mention of the Tagruato product lines? I would think that TIDO would be all over that. The Effect site understands and responds appropriately and is more interesting. The Effect site is a better example of an IG site IMHO.

I am not calling this OOG yet, but my skepticism alarm is red flagging it right now. If TIDO did a post that did a game course correction or some piece of information, then fine.

Maybe the reason that there is no mention of Slusho or ParafFun is because any 'side effect' would only hurt humans. Tidowave seems to have little concern for human suffering -

The only thing they mention on the website is Tagruato's drilling, probably because it directly 'attacks' Mother Earth, draining her 'lifeblood.' That and the little fact about the whales. Why would they care if people are injured? They are referred to as the enemy.
