XD Sorry to say, I don't really like the Star Trek shows either. I'm interested in this though and the new movie looks good.

 		well let's see if we can't get a decent guide and resource available at http://startrek.wikibruce.com/PHPChat

I'm going to work on it some tomorrow... there's not a lot, really, but video contents and chat transcript/translations, right?

 		JJ's and ST's universe collide
Tagruato in Star Trek

Thank you for this information, it was new for me! I suppose, JJ Abrams wanted to hide some easter eggs in Star Trek, but he also fear of all the Star Trek fans, who could be upset from somebody mixing his own universe (JJ Abrams with Slusho etc.) into their familiar Star Trek universe.


I'm not too sure on that. JJ has stated there's a brief mention of Slusho in a bar scene and Tagruato, Slusho's parent company, does make a cameo in Star Trek.

Yeah, or lovely Tagruato! Smile
I've made a GIF-screencap of the video btw.


@thebruce0:
Thanx for installment of phpchat-wiki.
Perhaps it make sense if we post there the original in foreign languages for later reference. I think I'll update the chat so far.

PHPChatUser 5 i think we still don't know. the thing we can say for certain is that he/she at least speaks english.


Presumably PHPChatUser 5 = Si?
And Si was the .jp binary address or idishnow.com

The last few nuggets of conversation would suggest there'll be something up and coming on those.

By the by, did the whois for idishnow.com

Looks like idishnow.com might be OOG.

Edit: E-mailed 'Willy' waiting to hear back.

 		Interesting...

I mailed to Hori Kei and said

Quote:
"Ca"は大丈夫ですか？
ちょっと心配しますけど。。。


(Is "Ca" OK? I do a little worry about him)

Now waiting for reply. (I suppose, if Hori Kei is the PHPChatUser1, he were mad to know, what's going on with "Ca").

 		Ehm... What?

I've got an email by Malak0.

subject ASSEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Assez, c'est assez. Puisque personne ne réalise à quel point cet appareil est stupéfiant, je vais en faire une vidéo pour vous le montrer. Peut-être que l'un de vous est assez intelligent et mature pour me dire comment le mettre en marche, que je puisse retrouver son vrai propriétaire. Je sais qu'aucun d'entre vous ne l'est puisque vous avez tous cru à ma fausse description de la couleur. Je publierai la vidéo demain ou dans les prochains jours.

which is in artificial translation does mean...

Enough, this is enough. Since no one realizes to which not at all this device is stunning, I go to do a video for you to show it. Maybe that the one of you is rather intelligent and mature to say me how it to put in market, that I can rediscover his true owner. I know that none of you is not it since you all believed my false description of the color. I will publish the video tomorrow or in the next days.

OK, a video in youtube? Or in his blog? I cannot wait.
P.S. And the color was not correct Wink

 		Got the same e-mail about half an hour ago. Just a slighty different translation, which makes a few important points clear:

Maybe one of you is intelligent and mature enough to tell me how to turn it on, so I can find it's real owner. I know it's none of you because you believed in my false descriptions of the color. I'll post the video tomorrow or the next day.


This guy's a bit of a jackass. If he's an in-game character, I don't find him fun. If he's not, I feel for him... been getting bombarded with strange e-mails for a week now =)

Very...Talk about milking an ARG for maximum exposure. Forget pimping Star Trek, they are pimping Viacom at large baby!

Ni is a negative... so it's more like;

"not Robau, not Kirk, not Ca, not a man of an OVNI, not Nero - I am called Malak0"

I wonder if these are all names that people have called him or assumed he is, when emailing him?

Kirk and Ca are obviously linked to the story... Robau? OVNI? Nero? No clue.

I get re-directed to "Star Trek | Official Movie Site".

*shrug*

Maybe Viacom was just the holding page. It's all very snazzy looking there now. XD

 		Nero et al. are names from the upcoming Star Trek movie. I think Nero is the name of the main bad dude.

Also, saying we got the colour wrong suggests we've missed something which describes the device somewhere. One of the videos? one of Cobrasnake's photos?

That or Malak0 is a gamejacking s**t-hawk.
