New Tidowave Update (Are They Giving Up?)

Horns down. If we go quiet, it won't be permanent. May the great mother protect her servants in their greatest time of need. She guides our hands.

Hmm. I guess they are finally giving up. I wonder what Tagruato will say about it. If they say anything.

Edit:
Maybe they aren't giving up, but it sure does sound like they are at least backing off. For now. Maybe this means we won't have any more lame clues that don't lead to anything.

Horns down?????


What the hell are they Texas Alums or something?

Truly lame...TIDO started with the biggest bang out there and never amounted to a thing basically. Sad

I hope they all end up in Cartman's basement.

not giving up. sounds like they are going to attack. not going quietly. horns down. sounds like attack mode. and basically saying "god help us" but rather mother earth.

Maybe this means that the ARG is over for now...
...but it will begin again at some time in the future...hopefully with a planned sequel.

I take it to mean that after tomorrow, we can expect an update from TIDO. It might not be this week...maybe not this month, but sometime.
My guess is we will hear from them about the same time that the next part of Kinshin is released.

It sounds like MGP is the result.

i think what we should be looking at is "IF we go quiet"
they could still provide quite the up roar, or if they decide to go into hiding now, it will only for a short time, "it won't be permanent"
so i wouldn't say there giving up. just laying low.

as we already now.

I agree with an attack. When an animal prepares for an attack, they put their head down because they are pulling their front muscles down readying themselves for a pounce. Think of a bull when it charges at something. Horns down. The "If we go quietly..." could mean if they do whatever they are going to do the right way, it will work out. Then again, a thought just occured to me that it could mean they made a deal with Tagruato. If they step back from the company, the company will not rain holy hell down on their heads. Sounds silly and so like something that TIDOWave would never do in a million years, but when you are cornered and have nowhere else to go, sometimes the toughest decision to make is the one you HAVE to.

Some options to mull over, but I still think it is an attack. I don't think it is over. I have a feeling they will keep the game going for awhile after the movie to tie all the loose ends up. Maybe until the DVD comes out. By then, they could have made any number of ARG stuff to put on it that would help us figure out just WTF is going on.

I agree the horns down thing means they are about to act.
Plus the IF suggests whatever they are doing may cause them to go quiet for awhile ( like they are especially chatty Rolling Eyes ).

I think they are going to make a snatch at Ganu in NYC.
Bad move IMHO but hippies don't put a lot of thought into these things usually.

This group seems to see the earth as their mother, and they her servants. This being the case this seems to be a sort of 'prayer' that the earth itself will protect them in their time of need. Think they're going to become the cult of MGP?

... and then this time in band camp....


"horns down" means that it's time to stop the loud show and wait for the next call to action, as of my days in junior high band. Everyone is to lay low and sit still, but not give up the fight, instead of sending out loud signals from which Tagruato can rain hell upon them.
