 		[Trailhead?] Clarrisa Monesta
Possibly Psychosis-Trio related?
I was just friended by one "Clarrisa Monesta" on Facebook...

With only 2 other friends, and a protected profile, the 'arg character' flag was raised. However, in digging a little further (googling like mad), I can't find any info other than possible connections, and no previous mention by name at UF.

Current lead implies a possible connection with Psychosis-Trio (from 2008)

She's also friends with Waitress Smith (who is @waitress2 on twitter, and I believe waitress#2 here on uf), and one "Natasha Abelev".

Natasha Abelev was mentioned on Unfiction by ineffabelle here in 2008, in the Psychosis-Trio thread, however psychosis-trio.com is current not available.

Clarissa's facebook updates include cryptic comments include:
* why chaos monster?
* Clarrisa Monesta is chillin
* Clarrisa Monesta enjoyed playing- but its back to business now
* Clarrisa Monesta is looking......
And email is thechaosmonster-lookingforthetruthSPLATyahoo.co.uk

Checking up on 'chaos monster', nothing stands out, but some interesting quotes...
Quote:
(google w/"looking for the truth") source: http://othergroup.net/thoth/thoth03.txt
CHAOS MONSTER

Here we meet the darker, more menacing powers, possessing an
often-hidden link to aspects of the mother goddess or warrior-hero
type. Of these darker creatures none is more prominent than the
cosmic serpent or dragon, a monster that descends on the world to
preside over the twilight of the gods, and whose ultimate defeat
signals the birth of a new age or, symbolically, a new year.
Babylonian Tiamat. Egyptian dragon of Apep. Greek Typhon.
But within every culture, endless variations will be found: hundreds
of monsters repeating the primeval catastrophe, each providing a
different nuance, a different accent, a different way of remembering
the cosmic agent of Doomsday.

This has reference to Thoth, a deity of the Egyptian pantheon

But there are lots references to "chaos monster" online... so who knows.

Anyone have any connections? More info?

ETA: It could of course be possible that this is a real person and ARG player, who only just got a facebook, but why connect with a fictional character from 2 years ago? Just checked and her email is now protected... and google shows no other telling hits for her name (and Clarrisa is an odd/rare spelling, I'd presume). Not sure what to think yet... Confused

ETA2: hmm... she just added/liked SeoSlave, Whiskybar24, Mafia Wars... SeoSlave and Whiskybar24 pages are connected, but SeoSlave seems sort of..spammy? *confused*

 		Hmmmm.... Got requested as well. Psychosis Trio was one of the infamous XIII games that never completed. The thing is that the ride is good enough that it never seems to matter when they die. The fact that Kosmopol (Alex Vladi) was friended as well is encouraging... If Natas and Toasty get pinged...

ETA: All the 'psychosis-trio' generics (com, org, biz, etc.) are available, so no direct link, I don't think.

 		Yeah, looks like most of the "old school" players got friended, myself included. I thought it was a spammer at first considering there is nothing visible in the profile unless you accept the request, and ignored it until you mentioned it.

Considering my inclusion, if this is a game it'd definitely be someone who's been around.

Nighthawk—I was added by her too, just yesterday.

I also got a kinda,, well,, unusual message. Rolling Eyes

I don't think the message was OOG because it referred to you by your UnFiction handle but it was a very personal reference concerning some old trailheads we'd been down before.

They said they were part of Anonymous and were asking me a bunch of questions. Embarassed

Have you guys had a similar experience?

 		One of my game accounts got hacked (virusrogueSPLATgmail.com) so if you get anything from that, proceed with caution. Seems to direct to one of those 'Computer may be infected, download my malware' sites. All unfictioneers on the receive lists...

 		Not mine
I feel the need to post and warn all parties involved that this is not one of my games. It seems to be spam related, and hints of malicious intent.

Please refrain of contacting these people in hopes of it being an ARG.

I am however happy to see several people who still remember my games and would be eager to play in another game of mine. I am not retired, in fact I did 2 'mini' games in the last year that went under the radar of Unfiction for personal meta research purposes.

Although the scale and meta concept of my next game can be said to be too ambitious, I hope to launch it in the coming months.

I want to provide a break from the same pseudo-ARG commercial virals and the painfully underdeveloped and badly funded grassroots games.

I also want to break away entirely of what ARGs have become (or have always been). So expect to do things you havent done before, and a trailhead very different of what you are used to see.

Best of Regards
XIII
