indeed i did.

i'm starting to get into this super-cryptic thing. it's like a jackson pollock painting, or a Rorschach test. what does it mean? well, what do you want it to mean?

has anyone considered the serious possibility that Hatshoe (whoever he/she is) is simply f*cking with us? I ask this because I'm also following Marble Hornets, and in that case, there's enough outlay of effort and capital to be fairly certain that the creators have something serious in mind and will probably finish it. movie cameras, sets, actors, etc., etc.

but in the case of Hatshoe, really the effort required on the part of the PM so far has been pretty minimal. not that i'm criticizing. i don't want glittery videos with high production quality; i'm only pointing it out to say that i am starting to wonder if this is honestly a game *at all* or just a really weird, cryptic public performance piece.

Hi guys, great to see a new page up. I got a mail from Hatshoe finally, don't know if it's just me but I somehow doubt it. I shall post it below.

In regards to the question 'Is this even a game?' I'm also leaning towards no, but whatever it is it's extremely intriguing and I'm enjoying the interaction too much to care!

Did the usual b&c checks on the new page and the message I got and nothing I could see. For your perusal:

Wow, that actually seems promising.

I sent hatshoe a photo of one of my tattoos. He asked if we could be related, as he never knew his parents. I said it is possible, as I only just found my Mother. We are also still discussing gefilte fish and the snot that they come in.

I have thought this wasn't a game from the start. That makes it, in fact, exactly my type of game - the not game game. Hatshoe is a good friend

[fezzik]

My only hesitation with the conclusion that it's not a game is the whole "twowithout" adventure, and the occasional message indicating that there's more than meets the eye. For example, the email which discussed being a pedagogue and entering what we find. Those indicate that, at least at some point, the PM had some kind of game in mind. I'll be curious to see if that was just a blip on the radar or whether the "game" part is about to kick into a higher gear.

Is it just me, or does Read not have a link to it's page on the main page? It shows read, but there seems to be no hyperlink.

[PerdíElJuego]

Read does have a link to the main page.

(btw if anybody hasn't noticed yet -- I'm lostthegame; I'm just too lazy to login)

[chaos]

random thought, probably unrelated..

tab-selecting the links on the hatshoe main page selects them in a wierd way

anyone think this' important/what could cause it?

[if it's just some browser thing, i use firefox]

[fezzik]

I think he meant that the main page doesn't have a link to Read...but it does.

The tab order is defined by the order that they occur in the index.html file. I have tried to discern some sense to the way those are laid out in there; it isn't alphabetical or chronological or spatial. But I haven't had any luck. So while it may mean something, I don't know what it is.
