Is it the Artist formerly known as Prince, currently known as Prince again and who was coined Victor by the media at the time he was not known as Prince, because they could not find a word for the symbol the Artist had chosen for his name??

The quoted bit is mine.

Breaking it down:
Once X receives Y,... The Z will be employed on this date.
Sure, I can see why the other proper nouns are given acronyms in parentheses, but why is the verb "employed" both capitalized AND abreviated with an acronym?

The only reason, i would suspect, is to give you MSSTARRE -- "marsters"?

in both subject and body yesterday, and received the same e-mail as SpaceBass today.

It's not an automated reply, so I guess they're checking them individually, so they accept various correct answers, as long as the format is correct.

I'm in....But does anyone get the vibe that this company is shilling for itself? An ARG starting at a website that makes ARGs?

I was working under the assumption that they were using subdomains rather than registering a bunch of unique addresses to get things rolling. It takes a bit more suspension of disbelief to get past that, but I would hope if the game takes off, they'll expand it onto the web.

Well, after rereading the page again (and shoving my coffee fueled cynicism aside) it looks more and more to me like they are just a third party in the upcoming game. The company claims to the one behind ExperienceIT and the 8march2003 promotions, so I would think that would indicate that the quiz is a way to generate a player base for whomever their client is - hence the requirement to send an e-mail, and the "personalized" responses.

That thought left my mind as I guzzled another cup and starting thinking about the fact that X-IT and 08/03/03 were both just promotional ventures to garner interest in products...one non-commerical, the other decidely so.

Of course, wasn't The Beast primarily the same thing, more or less?

Sometimes I amaze myself with my ability to prattle on and on and say absolutely nothing - You need a paralegal, Ozy? Wink

Actually, they disclaim any affiliation with the 8march2003 promotion, and delayed their launch so as not to be associated with it.
