 		[TRAILHEAD][ARG]The Sect Is Here
Alternate Reality Game for "Riese" Webseries
http://www.thesectishere.com

Alternate reality game for a webseries coming out in November starring a bunch of people from sci-fi type shows (Sanctuary, Stargate Atlantis, Stargate Universe) launched earlier today at the above url.

Website features highly stylized propaganda posters, a couple videos, and a page with flickering letters (the "Cause" and "Support the Sect" links) -- I haven't managed to isolate which letters are flickering, but it presumably leads to a way of contacting The Sect.

The webseries will be a steampunk fantasy -- this game seems to be about The Sect, a religious organization that recently gained dominance in the kingdom of Eleysia.

Other discussions are going on at the Riese Forums: these forums may or may not be considered in-game, as someone who posted as "The Sect" (account created today) left the following message.

Quote:
This is no game. Blasphemy will not be tolerated.

You have been warned.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I've found www.thisisnotthep ...... Scroll down on the last part to see the last letters for the URL.

I tried http://www.thisisnotthepath.com which leads to a very weird site. on the site in the source code it says :

line is not secure. 092509.


The page title is "D-Code" Still don't know what that means though.

 		Hahahahaha....basebasebasebasebase. That's awesome.

EDIT: and natas, i think the title is telling you to "D-code" the hidden text. I'm really amused right now.

 		Also, probably just an oversight by the flash programmer, but if you click the "The Cause" tab, "happening" is spelled incorrectly.

 		I just wanted to stop in here and say hello. Someone mentioned Unforumm on the Riese forum, so I thought I would come check it out. I am new to ARGs, so go easy on me. Smile I am very excited about this one, though, and am on my way to check out some of the others being discussed here.

 		New Email
Welcome to the Future
Quote:
New follower,

Welcome to the one true path.

You have chosen wisely to align yourself with The Sect, a force bringing on a new era of prosperity.

We will call you to action shortly. In the mean time, please visit your nearest monastery to begin indoctrination. Should you refuse to comply, Sect magisters will arrive shortly to escort you.

Again, welcome to the future.

The Sect

 		This seems fun. The site's pretty cool, but when I tried to send my information to them, the send icon like, flashed when I clicked it, but there was no indication that anything was sent! Is that the norm?
