This appears to just be exposition to me. No obvious clues.

So, what exactly is this guy trying to achieve by ruining the reputations of various powerful men, anyway? Any spec?

I mean, this is obvious, but I just want to write it for the trail-followin newbies, but this is further proof that we're dealing with a shadow government.

Shadow Government (Definition): a government running secretly behind a standing government, usually with more power than the "public" government., using their secret and powerful status to dominate and control world events and fortunes.

[spec] hospital

actually, speaking of hospital as a front and gateway into nightmares, this is all very "Silent Hill"-ish.... I'm not saying anything, but the parallels are actually kind of cool. (No, DM doesn't think this is SH related, just neat-o.)

while we're on the topic of this sounding like other things, I have to say that the IRC chat (specifically, Darkness' plan) reminded me of FF7. Come on - standing in front of hope (instead of the lifestream,) giant meteor hitting the Earth...sure, the chronology is backwards, but I still think it sounds familiar.

I'm sure you know what I'm talking about, DM, what with that avatar.

The fact is, the well of original fantasy elements is about dry. However, considering that this is an ARG, I think it is being applied very well.

Baelfael, I do hear what you're saying. Next thing they'll be calling these crystals Materia and we'll have to fight against Jenova... (Ok, so a FF ARG wouldn't be that horrible, actually...) Cool
