Speaking of which, what do you mean by "the whole media?"



Well, he wasn't specific. When he tried to hire some people for free (!) he spoke that his ideas were revolutionary or something. But I still believe he fails.

If what I read is correct, and not a total falsehood, this "game" is just a guy's personal project intended to pad his portfolio as a demonstration of what he can do... Which, it seems to me, is rage when a project he spent over two years on fails to hold up under scrutiny for more than a week.

I guess ultimately the game was to see the PM's girlfriend naked without getting your full name posted on 4Chan.


I'm actually not so sure now either. Unless she's wearing colored contacts, photoshop was involved, or her eyes change color, it might not be her.

She has brown eyes in the cell (I think) and on the picture from the Junsui facebook, and the girl on Marckesano's photostream has blue eyes. Other than the eyes though they definitely look VERY similar.

So I am unsure about his intentions. Perhaps it is an experiment? Or something semi-ARG alike? I mean, still fictional, but not an ARG, but an sociological art project or so? I don't know... The image of a vicious Nemesis alike PM is kinda unfitting imho.


I couldn't help but laugh when I read this.

I'll continue sitting on the sidelines

the girl in the cell is NOT his girlfriend.
looks nothing like her.

btw, remember that Gwaschemasch'e's mother was Nedaxe Seteney.
THIS is why she is protective and paranoid. She's protecting her children/sisters.

http://menoftaste.com/ has changed their splash page to read

"MOSCOW - 23. August 2009

OAO Alfa-Tsentr announced today that they had been the target of a smear campaign orchestrated by hostile criminal syndicates on Internet forum boards. Roman Azef, CEO and president for the firm, described many of the allegations as "outrageous and irresponsible libel", including those reports from several major news outlets which raised possibility of the company's involvement in a recent series of "denial of service" internet attacks upon multiple American-based internet sites.

Azef addressed other allegations, denying his company's involvement with any wrongful detainment or incarceration of individuals, of Russian citizenry or otherwise. According to Mr. Azef, the denial of service attacks are believed to have originated in multiple international locations including the United States. He added that Alfa-Tsentr has been fully cooperating with authorities in the United States in their investigation

Based in Beloretsk, Russia, Alfa-Tsentr is a premier contractor of large infrastructure and mining projects as well as a respected operator within the global private security industry.



For more information:

Alfa-Tsentr.ru (English site)

Alexander Dubrovin - Public Relations Spokesperson"

I received an identical email, assuming it was sent to everyone who contact them. Looks like the info war is on.

EDIT: I've done some research into the name Roman Azef. This may or may not be related, and is simply speculation. The name may be a pseudonym based on the names Roman Malinovsky and Yevno Azef. The common thread between them is that they were both contemporaries apparently working as agents/members of the socialist revolution, as well as double agents working for the Okhrana, or Department for Defense of Public Security and Order. I haven't looked deeply yet but they were pretty shady individuals.

EDIT2: The cam feed is now entirely black, haven't monitored it for anymore activity. It now redirects to THENFRIEND on vimeo, oddly.

EDIT3: I believe the string of numbers on the cam has changed, possibly indicating new coords. Can anyone confirm this?

This is the best post on anything concerning this game so far. I lol'd.

Forgive me, but I'm a bit skeptical that it's worth digging any deeper into this. Is that -all- the information we have? Have you tried e-mailing Dubrovin to get Azef's contact info?

No, but this is a very new development. As to it's significance, this is really the only activity we have seen today so id assume it's something worth noting. To my knowledge Dubrovin has never responded to an email by anyone, and the only contact he had with players was a chat with red that is recorded on the wiki.

EDIT: well r.azefSPLATmenoftaste.com doesn't work.

I thought he had, or was that Alejandro or something-or-other? I must've gotten confused. Either way, I wonder what will happen now?

I thought that was from alfa tsentr. Either way nothing from Dubrovin himself.

Alright I feel morally obligated to ragequit by now, but I'm finally caught up and I can't help but be carried on by curiosity.

I have a feeling something's going on with this latest development. Azef's email at Men of Taste doesn't seem to work, but I sent Dubrovin an email just in case he's now responding. Azef's name is interesting but ultimately unimportant. I checked to see if it might work for the nonworking login on the Alfa-Tsentr site but it doesn't seem to. Does anyone know what's going on with the Junsui right now?
