 		I'm sad of the reputation the french people are giving of us. I hate it and makes me ashame of it. But i'm french and i can't deny it. I'm sorry for all of them who made you feel not welcomed. I wish all this will be resolved and it could be team work again...

Sad

 		 About us...
[quote="Coffeebean"]She did not just come here and post in French did she?! ....
It's quite funny actually and I suspect that most of them have never played an ARG before or even heard of one.

First I'm sorry about the French posting here... I just cut and paste Mr. Paul message and since you are asking us to do bilingual posting on our side I tought I could do the same here... I won't do it again Embarassed

As far as I know, you are right, most of us are at our first experience on ARG games and trying very hard to understand how to play it, so be indulgent to us and come help us... It will be aprreciate Very Happy

 		Bella, I have left a reply at HQ for you and everyone.

First tip for ARG in this forum: Double posting is considered bad form. That means two in a row or more. Most will go back and edit the post before if they want to add something or edit something out. Sometimes double posting is overlooked for completely different topics....which I did a few pages back when we opened new forum.

Madam, no need to apologize for entire country Smile


I think everyone is just frustrated at this point. We need stuff happening 24/7 to keep most ARGers happy. Since the first mission took so long, the blog didnt work out, the forum can be seen by anyone, and all the translating can wear anyone down. I know Bella posted that I was mad....I am not. There may very well be a simple answer from the yahoo group that might clear up things, I do not know, and I am not jumping to conclusions. All I know is that I was part of that group, proved my existence in Cosa Nostra, and then go there and it says "Join Group" and no posts can be clicked upon. And yes, I was signed in with my yahoo name.

Now about the Starbucks coupons, this will be just like EBAY.....I have one offer so far and bidding will close tomorrow at midnight Wink

While that's something nobody here will dispute; In this case, it's because Ciao Bella is posting as a guest.

 		ah, I see. Good point. Guests cannot edit their posts.

I have been reinstated into the yahoo group. Apparently they thought I was Makyla....which I am not. And to Makyla, if there is any way that you are using my email (RoxelleCN) please cease and desist.

The first HQ blog, ppl were saying that when they logged in, they were in someone elses email, can anyone confirm that mine was one?

The Yahoo group for the Cosa Nostra is getting a post a minute... all in French.


123 out of 462 are by one person (26%) at yahoo
341 posts out of 69 pages (avg. 5 posts per page) at CN HQ by same

Some are now being translated to english. My point is, probably 85% is not really about the mission/game. It's about if they are leaving, and six people have to say good night, and what they are fixing for dinner, or if they are going to the store or doing laundry. It's a joke and most can be attributed to one person.

On other news: Alot of people are showing up on Facebook. In game characters....(hint hint) Search for them.

I have also found:
http://twitter.com/FBI
http://twitter.com/cosanostra
http://twitter.com/witness

No updates/posts have been made for first two, so no way to tell if in game or not. But everyone might want to sign up in case this is used in future.
The witness one is protected (cannot see any posts) so I think this may not be part of game.

At least one confirmation that my email has been used. And the funny part is, I CANT use that email. lol I thought I had forgotten password, but maybe it wouldnt let me login if others were using it? So I reset it, but have to wait 5 days to retrieve question to reset. Once I get it, I will delete that account. It was new account, just to login to blogger HQ, so no worries about any information being sent there or any confidential/private personal info either. Well, at least one mystery has been solved in this case!

Yep. That was it. I assumed at the time that it was a phoney, because how can I get into someone's email w/o a pass. I think I even sent an email to the addy. Just checked... sent 4/14 with subject=wtf? I think you've got a lawsuit if you want it. Or at least some Starbucks.

 		OOG
serious problem
Anyone know shannie? shanni? French speaking, from Canada and probably on FBI team.

Just so everyone knows, I did not send anyone email from that account. I believe it to be someone from FBI team. Someone posed as me for the entire week, and went fishing for info from Cosa Nostra by using my email RoxelleCNSPLATgmail.com. I don't think that she got into the yahoo group, but I do not know. Makyla is still in question also. Anyways, this person spent alot of time sending emails everywhere, made an acct at hotmail with my name (maybe spelled incorrectly RoxellCN) and used words that my mother would wash my mouth out with soap for.

My original idea was to have a diff name on CN than here, to be 'incognito'' fullfilling my new mafia job.....but when blogger attached my gmail acct to blogger.....all went crazy.

This person's excuse was, hey it let me log in so why not use it? And then claimed not to be that great on the internet, but had changed every single setting in my account for time zone, country, language was in French (you know how I love to translate!) and more. This person spent time sending emails to and from herself to cover her tracks......but get this: NEVER deleted any emails, lol

So, if everyone can help me out by looking thru posts for shanni, thanks.
Private message me if you sent any emails to/from mine so I can eliminate those. (Marie and Lisa, I think I know who those are)
ty

edit: Just very thankful that I did not use my real email acct. So a warning for everyone, even though this is supposed to be a fun game, there are still some that will cross the line to win an ipod. Protect yourself, always.

 		Wow, I'm sorry that happened to you. I'm also sorry to say that I think that is the last straw for me and I'm dropping out. This game just hasn't been fun from the start. Sad

I have to agree. I am throwing in the towel. I can think of no good reason to keep beating this particular dead horse.
