Don't think so, as can be seen here, you can see what seem to be the first two letters, "as".

But they're not capitalized so perhaps not.


further down the page, the city doesn't have the leading 'as', so i think it was originally "a town known as ---" and it was poorly edited.

betcha that blurred out city is Bookerville -- didn't that game have a virus too?

From what I can see of the blurred out city, it sure looks like Bookerville. I just read through the old thread, and there WAS a virus involved, too. Here's the thread for anyone who wants to read it: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=26277&sid=549c28bb61817d0100a5d64a36f8b8a5

EDIT: After seeing DM's latest tweet ("May as well be dead"), I asked who or what may as well be dead, and was told:

 		Two days ago Defiant.Master sent me an IM, wherein he address me as "Zero". I figured it must have something to do with an ARG, so I played along. We talked for about 45 minutes before:

I log all IMs for posterity. If anyone would like to read up, simply reply here and I'll fetch a link.

 		An update:

Defiant logged on moments ago. He was pretty cavalier, given the circumstances.

Me: That's certainly good.
defiant.master: indeed
defiant.master: have you made a choice yet?
Me: A choice is to be made given a set of options. I was never given any options from which to choose, and I'm certainly not clairvoyant. However, whatever you need from me, want, I am more than willing.
defiant.master: options were given but they are not to be seen. if you side with me then you have decided
Me: I have decided.
defiant.master is typing a message.
defiant.master: Good -- I have to go take care of something but i will return shortly.
Me: Okay. Good luck.

 		Similar to the way he approached me via email, asked if I could be trusted etc. He gave me some message about his "rigg" maybe compromised and that his transmission would be delayed - thing is, he's had time to chat to other since then but not sent me anything, so I'm wondering about the seeming lack of consistancy as to whether he is able to communicate or not.

I'm talking with him right now, trying to figure out some things.

 		Yeah he's back in touch now.

The transmission has been sent.


Though I'm a bit confused now, because I've seen no change of any of the sites and nothing significant from his twitter, so I'm at a slight loss as to what this transmission was. So I sent this responce:

Quote:
Sorry if I missed something... what actually is the transmission? I'm not finding anything new on any of the sites etc.



Zero.


We'll see what he says.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Edit: Oh! I was dumb Confused he sent back "You will find it where you've found everything before." So I figured it must be the site, and yeah, the .jpg that was on the mainpage has now become a little flash file, at first it just looks like the normal logo but then it changes to a little animation and an audio file plays.

It's Defiant Master himself chatting, talking about the virus. The virus apparently is more than just a normal virus, it changes peoples DNA and makes them superhuman/gives them superhuman abilities, and due to this will likely kill them. Interesting!

(P.S. The plot remains almost identical to that of Tyler Greek.)

Double post. No clue how to delete this one though.

Zero.




I was just about to post that here. Can I suggest that we get in contact with each other, whether it be Yahoo/WLM/AIM or anything else? It might help to work together on something like this, and real-time communication would be a lot easier.

 		Might be a good idea, editing my posts each time I realise something/get something new, but sometimes it leads to miscommunication etc.

Don't mind talking on MSN/WLM (I still call it MSN even though its WLM now Razz), if you want to talk there my address for it is demonlordtyrusSPLATyahoo.co.uk (yes, yahoo)

 		Hah! I've gotten into the TR website, seems there security wasn't so good. It looks as though its still in construction, though, so if you'd rather wait until we're probably supposed to get on the site, I'll spoiler the way in.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
If you look at the source HTML on trcorporation.net, you'll see the images for the login form are in the folder assets, and if you go to www.trcorporation.net/assets - yep, FTP access. So in this folder is a few files, mostly their CSS formats for pages, though there is one image of some chemicals.

The most interesting file, though, is menu2.php, this seems to be the header for trcorporation's main site that we'll access when we crack the password box. The only link on this menu that seems to work is employment (leads to http://www.trcorporation.net/getajob/), and few of the links there seem to work either.


The question now is, do I tell DM about this in case its a PM mistake, and he might shutdown access to the site? Very Happy

Latest email from Defiant made me giggle given my little "hack" of trcorp.

The TR main site is built to be unhackable. when we created it we made sure that no one could access it at all with out the password and username.

 		Defiant Master has a new follower on twitter, http://twitter.com/superviseslave The only reason I'm posting it here is that they only have one tweet, it's to DM, and it's pretty ominous: "we are the source." Could be IG, could just be a player I guess.

Cross-referenced the two names and found that our buddy DM tweeted in response to that:

"The source is impure." approximately one hour after superviseslave tweeted to DM.

 		Missed something
Whoops, sorry guys, seems I missed another angle on this whole thing because an email has incorrectly sent to my SPAM folder and so I ignored it, it contained the following:
Quote:

From: Aaron Cooper <Aaron>
Subject: Corrospondence needded
To: "zero" <demonlordtyrus>
Date: Tuesday, 12 January, 2010, 23:06


Hello,
My name is Aaron Cooper [CEO of Technology Resolute] and it has come to my attention that you've been talking to a fomer employee of mine.
I would just like to warn you that he is a highly unstable do to a brief exposure to a highly radioactive substance [Xenomutagen] and he is not to be trusted.

Yours Truly,
Aaron


So there's two sides to this. Currently I'm playing it that this Aaron Cooper's words have made me a bit more dubious of DM, but that the evidence DM showed me makes me wonder, I basically emailed back to that affect and we'll see where it goes. It can't hurt to keep this guy's trust for now atleast.

Ohoho, quite an interesting revelation we got here. Could this Aaron fellow possibly be the "superviseslave" on Twitter?

And speaking of Twitter, there have been some new, err, "tweets".

@Defiant_Master So, the logical answer would be that they are preparing something, I assume. Either that, or they don't need us /yet/.

@Defiant_Master Perhaps they don't want us.
