My reasoning for that it's OOG is that not sensible legitimate puppet master would release the new websites like he did. Get a bunch of fake email addresses to spam a new reporter about a website, and make it so that the website nor the video contained any information showing the ARG was continuing?

It's like using a monkey as your chauffeur. You're not sure if the monkey knows how to drive or not, and it could very well take you to wherever you want to go, but you'll be damned if this is how things are supposed to be working.

that STILL doesn't offer any proof to make it "out of game".

are you a sensible legitimate puppet master? you friends with any?

c'mon now.

TP from the looks of your join date, you weren't here for most of the ARG, if any.

Fact of the point is that all previous websites were obviously ingame. This is completely contradictory to past trends.

It's common sense. I could use the monkey example again but I don't like repeating myself for those who can't read a first time.

Well, I imagine it could be any of a number of ways. The one you suggested, "ah-lay-dee-ga-ma". Or, "ah-la-DIG-ma"...possibly "ah-la-DIE-ma", or "ah-la-DEE-ma", or even "ah-LAY-di-ma".

firstly, you can't judge anyone based on their join date. I have been following the ARG since last July.

secondly, you can talk about a monkey all you want and I can read it... and read it... and read it. that won't change anything.

you are not from Paramount. you don't know JJ Abrams personally. you are not a viral marketing specialist.

You have NO IDEA what this website could be.

TP and Kraker i hope its In Game but its probally out of game. But no one knows for sure yet, i think the 2nd Kishin manga that will be releashed later this month will be our first update in a while. And yea Kraker you cant tell what someone knows about their join date, but it is funny its a day after the movie came out. So dont get your hopes up though TP its more than 70% OOG.

Just thought I'd throw out the fact that another way to arrange the numbers "00-11-22-88" is as "1-18-2008: 2". As in the sequel to the movie we refered to as 1-18-08 for the longest time.
Just a thought. Don't hit me.


What?

00:11:22:88 = 1-18-08: 2

How? It's quite complicated, but try to follow me on this.

00:11:22:88

1. Replace the first 0 with the first 1, thus creating:
10:01:22:88

2. With that, replace the 2nd 0 with the 2nd 1
11:00:22:88

3. Put the first 8 where the 1st 1 used to be.
11:80:22:08

4. Next, place the 2 after the 8, and move every number that used to be before the 2 up.
11:82:20:08

5. Put the last 2 at the end.
11:82:00:82

6. If done correctly, this should be interpreted as 1-18-2008: 2.


assuming this is true and this is in-game (however in my opinion I think its all phoney...even though i would like it to be true)...

so(without raising debate about the dates again) does that mean it could be assumed that it is going to take place on the same date as the first film...whether it be some time after the first film ends...or the same time from another perspective...

Guys, calm down and get along.

Kraker, don't assume anything or jump to conclusions. Halo 3's Viral Marketing wasn't even obviously legit until the mass email from Microsoft. If it's for Cloverfield II, it's a new ARG and thus wouldn't follow the same paths that the first ARG followed.

TP516, even though you've been following since July, you are still new to the forums. Join date does mean something to some people. It all has to do with knowing how exactly how things work on the forums and that experience only comes from actually posting.

So, everyone just calm down until we find out what is really going on. And there is no evidence that the video is even connected to the site, it appeared long after the first video disappeared and after the site was found. There is no evidence either way about the site itself. Sure the way it was found is dubious, but there is no evidence that the emails didn't come from an official source.

Things will go a lot easier without hostility here, just focus on what we do know for sure.

Anyway...

Personally, I have no clue about this one. Could be either way for me. However, we didn't get ARG sites until after the teaser for Cloverfield, and we didn't get an ARG for Halo 2 or 3 or even Jericho's second season until after the announcement of those projects. It just seems illogical that this would start now. It may be for something else (a la Haas) but at this stage, I don't see any reason not to follow it. I'd just talk about it in CF with Potential rather than in the Cloverfield section.

I can usually detect a troll over a mile away and TP516 doesn't come up on my "Troll-dar", just a bit "enthusiastic".

That being said, I tend to agree with Kraker on it being OOG. Doesn't feel IG to me, but there is not hard proof one way or the other. Like the Slashfilm article said, it's probably some type of fan based movement designed to get everyone in lather.

Don't get me wrong, I'd like there to be a start up of a new ARE/G, but if you think about it, unless a sequel was green-lighted before Cloverfield was released or immediately after (and all reports state this has not happened), logistically there is no way this could get off the ground this quickly...Abrams is busy filming Trek, Reeves is scheduled to direct another movie (Invisible Man or something?) and Goddard has to write the damm thing.

There is no hostility.

I just won't allow someone like Kraker acting like he knows everything. I don't know about all of you, but I dont take some of these members bullshit.

you can argue and debate all you want... please. do! it keeps things exciting. but don't tell me that it IS out of game just because it's "contradicting" everything from the past.

unless you have PROOF, it is your opinion; it's your statement. It's NOT a fact.

in fact.. I personally believe it's probably OOG. I was the one who commented, yesterday, about the video being fake and the website's quality. But I never imposed my opinion as a fact. I was NOT arrogant either.

On the internet, many of you can hide behind your computer screens and be someone else. Give attitude. Act a certain way.

Be real and don't be stupid. Don't call me out on being a troll.

I have better things to do, then be a troll on UnFiction Forums.

I come here because I enjoy the conversation and the exciting speculation --- not to be flamed on by obsessed Cloverfield fans who do nothing but refresh the forum every other second.

now... let the discussion continue! Very Happy

It's too early to say anything. All I can say by now is that "Aladygma" sounds like a great word for a sequel EVEN for spanish-speakers. Sounds like mysterious and scientific at a time.

If it's the name for a sequel, that's great. Most likely a scientific name for MGP but maybe another ... event's title too.

And who exactly "discovered" or was told about that site? Pardon my ignorance in this matters but if I make a website with a strange domain name, how could you guys know about it without me telling you about it?

Hugs, and greetings to you all ... from the beach! Razz

P.S. It's 01:05 hrs. here so I'm off to bed! Nite!

start date. 00 | 11 | 22 | 88. © a l a d y g m a. coming soon next day?
