 		I posted this in the other thread but I will throw it in here instead as it is probably more appropriate to continue this thread as opposed to the other.

I am wondering if these Blogs and espeically the "Survival Kit" isn't a way to communicate with Teddy. Maybe for whatever reason he has/had internet access but no other way of communicating. So maybe they are trying to tell him to do or start something?

 		I think there is something wrong with the "survival kit" price. Idk but 30$ for all this doesn't make sense. swiss army knife alone is about 20-30$ let alone the compass and the flare gun.

 		Hi people, perhaps it's OOG and offtopic, but though interesting.
I've just written about it.

I found strange site http://godstilllovesus.org/, a kind of Christian rebellious Greenpeace-alike actionists (like Bandit Vert?). Or perhaps something else.

Anyways, they also write about Tagruato and Slusho!. But like they don't know it's a viral contents.

Somebody named ElderThing wrote under a very sympthomatic topic "Mankind's Violation of Nature", at 2nd December:

Quote:
...Now, something else I've been hearing a lot about is deep sea drilling. First it was for oil, and that was bad enough, but on the news now they're talking about a Japanese company called Tagruato which is drilling for something no one understands on the ocean floor.

Have any of you heard anything about that? What do you think? Have we overstepped our boundaries?


And he got an answer by BlueSox:

Quote:
[...]Tagruato:
A Google search seems to indicate that the unique aspect of this company is that they've managed to build equipment capable of functioning at far greater depths than any other company, and thus can tap oil/petroleum reserves that were previously unreachable. I think the more interesting topic than "have we overstepped our boundaries" is, what are we going to do when peak oil finally hits?

[For those unfamiliar with the term: over time, the demand for oil grows steadily. At the same time, technology allows us to drill and produce more and more oil, and the rates of increase have been roughly similar. However, the amount of oil in the world is finite, and the easier to reach oil reserves are running out. Eventually, it is inevitable that technology will fail to advance fast enough, or we will simply drain all the oil reserves, and the amount of oil produced will peak, and start to drop off. Meanwhile, barring major behavioral changes by all of humanity, the demand will continue to grow. From there, it's simple economics: demand rises AND supply falls, so price goes WAY WAY up. The scary think about peak oil is that unlike other end-of-the-world-or-at-least-civilization-as-we-know-it scenarios, peak oil is going to happen, and there's nothing we can do to stop it.]


What is that? Some people mistake a fictious company for real one and use it for their own theories about mankind destroying the nature?

Or it's something more?

Btw, Whois

Uh... WTH?!?

Don't know what to make of this one... The search page comes up with the results, but that thread isn't there anymore. Returns a big fat "not found".

The site's real, that's a given; I seriously doubt they went in and faked over 2,300 posts... But, then again, not a bad job to generate 2,300 posts on a site nobody's heard of and has only existed for two months.

This guy "ElderThing" talks about Slusho! and Tagruato like they're the real deal...

http://godstilllovesus.org/users/ElderThing/posts

...but for someone who knows absolutely nothing about this company and is simply scouring the net for research, it wouldn't be surprising. I mean, Tagruato is probably generating more traffic than the oil companies at this point.

But there is no trace of the thread. Searching for anything OOG (Slusho, Cloverfield, Abrams, etc...) comes up blank. If this thread doesn't exist, why are the results coming up in search? If the search would come up regardless of whether the thread's been deleted or not, why don't we see anyone setting the record straight that this company isn't real? "ElderThing" is the *only* one to use the words Tagruato and Slusho! anywhere.

But the religious implications of all this seem too direct. This reference, in game or not, makes no sense.

And they use DomainsByProxy, which is odd for a site like this.

 		viral
Well...this gives a new perspective on how "Viral" things can become now a days.

Things are definitely getting interesting it seems, and this also makes the meaning of OOG a bit more expansive eh?

EDIT: Is it just me or does the symbol on that website seem very familiar? I can't place it.



EDIT2: I've no relation to this "ElderThing" guy...he must be from a different lineage of Elders. Cool

Screwy I say the guy is a nut case and this just goes to show...YOU CAN'T believe EVERYTHING on the internet. Although, somepeople still do...

Laughing I wonder what kind of grade they would get if they used those resources in their Thesis? Laughing

 		Gonna follow this....
Now I am curious to see how serious the people on that site take the Tagruato/Slusho things.
I know it's totally unrelated here....but to me this has potential to get very very curious.
Then when the movie comes out, I will be curious to see if they clue into any of it being a viral marketing campaign.

 		I think the Elder guy, or that website/group that believe Tagruato and Slusho! are real, is actually pretty humorous. Someone needs to tell them whats going on..lol

 		Here is Google's cache of the thread before it was deleted:
http://209.85.207.104/search?q=cache:OB1ILX0WZ3QJ:godstilllovesus.org/forums/1/topics/56+%22Mankind%27s+Violation+of+Nature%22&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us&client=firefox-a

I think it was deleted cause it was just a big argument.
Anyways, I think the OP just stumbled upon tagruato in google while doing a search, then looked at it (the site does look deceptively real). they went on to believe that both it & slusho are real.

Someone should have posted up the other IG websites like tidowave, lol.

 		Interesting detail. Somebody has found that forum per accident.

ive been reading some of the posts on this thread and need to strongly remind anyone new to the search that the urchin traker means nothing to the game, its just used as a tool to see how many people visit a site.


Please take notice that in my post I made sure to state that just because the tracker was there didn't make it in game. I was merely pointing it out because people earlier one had been stating that there was no Tracker so it must not be in game... And just because I only have 15 posts doesn't mean I'm "new to the search", check the join date.

Thank you, and good day.


Edit: An additional question -

The only hits for GloboChem are from a Mr Show sketch. I skimmed through the cast & crew list to compare to Cloverfield but didn't find any matches...so why the nod to Globochem?


HBO and Paramount--same parent company.

 		www.godstillovesus.org is a contest? Question


Uhhh looks like Slusho! contest rules. http://godstilllovesus.org/rules.html

EDIT: Does Paramount have anything to do with Time Warner?

EDIT #2: Whoever found this site, it is trippy.

EDIT #3: I give up. Rolling Eyes
