 		New PM Looking for Help/Tips with his ARG
Also looking for people to work with
I currently have a bit of the plot of an excellent (IMO) ARG, but require your help with some really simple stuff, mainly brainstorming effects and techniques to apply to a website.

The premise is your navigating a cryptic website with a time limit, attempting to find something, you don't know what, if there is anything to find, and all you have to go on are a series of exceptionally cryptic (and the vast majority of the time red herring) clues.

The website itself will be a mess, like someone threw random code in a blending machine and slapped a URL on it, buttons that don't work, drop down menus with 10 blank options, lines of complete gibberish, random videos that are generally utterly disturbing and rather confusing.

Of course I can't reveal anything, but the overall feel of the site will be a strong grungy, dirty, creepy feeling. Add a dash of mysteriousness and a very curious URL name and you have a ARG ready to go!

Atm I am looking for simply a series of creepy terms, words, situations, objects, things, whatever, that are, well creepy/grungy.

I am also soon going to be looking to build a team of individuals with the skills to help me build this website, as I really don't have them myself. In fact I doubt I'd be necessarily leading the site, as being the guy with the plot.

Please help, and I'd also like to avoid the simply generic creepy things like snakes, cemeteries, whatever, and focus on lesser used grungy ideas/objects.

Thank you for your help, any tips or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

 		Most of my plot has been worked out and I think I can start looking for people to help me with this ARG. ATM I am looking for people to assist with building the main website, and actors to pose as in game characters.

This will be a very involved set up of the plot, so you need to be both convincing and willing to take the time to post updates/blogs/create facebook pages/etc

I also am looking for someone willing to admin a forum, along with some people to build the videos/images for the site. Please contact me through PM or email me at lionhart180SPLATgmail.com

Thank you.

 		An Admind has volunteered and the forum is under work, thank you ^^

Now looking for someone skilled with photoshop/video editting, etc, to create the images and videos for my site.

Also need a handful of people to volunteer to pose facebook pages/blogs etc of characters, and maintain them for a notable amount of time in the hopes of creating a level of realism to the plot.

Also looking for someone very skilled at setting up an entire website, and very skilled with scripting said site, including cookies, and many complex systems for it.

DO not need any skill with databases/etc though, there is no signing up for this site, it is simple a LOT of urls, links, pages, etc. You just need to be good at effects and advanced scripting of the page.

Finally looking for someone willing to create a simple program, VB< whatever, that allows a user to input in a text box normal english, and have it outputted through a special cipher I have created.

This will help in aiding the writing of large amounts of ciphered text, unless there is someone instead willing to have the job of ciphering text given to them (it will be VERY boring I can tell you that much DSmile

Please contact me via PM, all help is extremely appreciated, and you will be given credit, along with a certain special privilege that will make this ARG a step above the average one.
