 		If that is it, it doesn't seem very ARGish to me. If this is it I think I'll be passing on it.

Forum has a test post and an intro post.

Someone should start a thread now, if they want to follow this, since really it's not spam Razz

 		Looks to me like a M:TG type game. Younger audience, floating somewhere below ARG, somewhere above online game. I think it will eventually be a sign up, build your character, do battle sort of thing, with this cerebru machine as the encapsulation for it all.

 		I started a thread, for all the good it may do....you're right it doesn't seem very arg-ish *sad*
this may end up being a dud, but I'll give it a go

 		Fairly sure this is an ARG... sent to my gmail.

Sender was dreamguideSPLATrachelswalk.com. On visiting rachelswalk.com, it's an image of an open window with a hand holding a doll in a forest, no less, and the text reading "A world's fate rests in the mind of a child..." and "The walk of dreams will begin Winter 2008." A field to enter your email below. "Enter your email address and follow your dreams..."

 		Whatever it is, I signed up as well. Definitely seems ARGy.

 		Rachel's Walk
I got the Rachel's Walk email too and signed up. I looked at both the source code and the whois info and nothing really jumped out at me.

Winter 2008 sure seems like a long time to wait for it to start. I might forget all about it (but then again, I only have the seven working brain cells left and forget a lot of stuff anyway).

 		I know this seems like a silly spot to put this and if necessary could be moved later but I just received this email and thought I'd share it with the class.

 		Found this on Craigslist: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/mis/762922320.html

Don't know how long it will stay up, copying original text:

Subject:
Sara watch for dead guys about your kidnapping /chriss bernal & father - 109 (los gatos)

Body:
they are all dead now sara I Know everything


Followed Google to the Myspace page of someone named just Frank
http://www.myspace.com/1flaz

Read his bio, very strange. Google has little information for me.

 		The post has already been flagged for removal from craigslist. And the myspace page is just weird. He's got lots of pics on his page, but some of em look like he took a bunch of pics of his head and superimposed them over various landmarks. He gives me the creeps, threatening to shoot folks like that.

EDIT: Found out that Dick Bernal and the Jubilee church are real people, so I doubt this guy is little more than a delusional.

 		Well, that's a shame.

Still, a little bizarre reality is better than nothing.

 		Just got this from dubl_a_ronSPLAThotmail.com:

i am aaron. my last name isnt important as of now. i have sinned many times. i would like to telll my story. help me. its up to you now.

http://www.youtube.com/user/akshunproductions

Which leads to a utube acct., obviously. video of car wreck stills. Didn't have my headphones on, so I don't know what the audio is. I'm already saving the world twice over at the moment and don't really have the resources to help an individual. Unless it's a cheerleader. Harsh, I know, but... Anyone else?

ETA: Evidently goes with this:

 		I got the same message... through this site's IM. Somewhat of a turn off in that regard.

Not much to go on with the YouTube page.
