 		Actually, a lot(if not all) of co.cc websites get redirected to Mybookface if the original site gets taken down. Just found that out through a quick google search. So...who knows. I was never part of the other ARG you guys are talking about.

 		Ummm...

I think I speak for everyone when I say...

WTF?!

I can find no relation between the two games outside of the email address. I'm officially lost. But, that's a rather usual state for me to be in...

While I was sitting in the #trustGU chat, I got an IM from a mysterious source. Or rather, I got a friend request from a mysterious source, so I IMed him/her/it back. A source so mysterious that it practically twirled it's own moustache. I will post that exchange here.
[..]


Let me get this straight, because nobody else seems to wonder about this very first statement you made...
#trustGU chat on IRC?
How come that on a chat there you receive this trailhead from txkkxt?
Is this even connected to this thread or did you just happen to be in that chat and drop the name for no meaning?
If it's connected, then whichever way I look at this, it can't be good news.

Either
1. a Puritytowers chatter passes themselves of as txkkxt and tries to connect their game to that other game (the gmail address might very well not have been taken by the other game and they abused that)
2. a Puritytowers chatter IS txkkxt at the same time and those games are conected
3. like 2, but the games are not connected

I don't know about the nature of the #trustGU chat, but if it's not clearly established what is IG and OOG within that chat, I wouldn't trust anything that comes out of it.
As I read the Puritytowers "policy", I notice that players can both sites and are not to be trusted and keep secrets and all that stuff. Sounds like a good breeding ground for spreading confusion. Confused

I believe there is a difference between confusion and confusion.

Confused, yet? Razz

The earlier website address that was listed in the thread now redirects to this: http://mybookface.net/


The whois for mybookface puts its creation date in December 2008. I'm pretty sure it's just a cybersquatter.

None of the three games are connected. I have it on good authority from a source who wants to remain anonymous that the Ubiquasoft game will eventually be restarted but is on hold for at least the present. The Clock is Ticking, in which txkkxt is a character, is meant to be completely separate from the Ubiquasoft game. The error in the page who-is was just that, an error.

Y'all need to settle down.

 		Abraxas referenced three games in his post: trustGU, the Clock is Ticking and Ubiquasoft.

 		Confused as to how a mistake like that could happen, but I believe you, Dream.

In any case, I'm sort of glad to hear that this has been put on hold for the time being. I wanted to jump in on this, but with all of these other games going on, I don't know that I'd have time!

 		I guess that mistake can happen, if you try to run two or three games at the same time (no idea, if Puritytowers is by the same PM aka the mysterious "source" you are talking about).
Anyway, sounds to me like you should stay away from either of those games, if you don't want to run into at least one implosion. Razz
