 		WorldOyster is nuntium, huh?

Looks like someone is funnin' with us. If you check out nuntium's only post from March 29

Quote:
EVIL eyes that can not see,
a mother's loss of sanity.

A SImple message, once carved in teeth
of wicked monsters sleeping beneath.

once a SUrprise, now come to light
embARKed and ready for the fight

RETS your head and weary mind,
all good answers come in time.

ELaborate I can not do.
You must look within to find what's true.


...and read the capitalized letters backwards, you get "Lester Kraus is alive." And "nuntium" means "messenger" in Latin.

ETA: green ice queen pointed this out back in March, too.

 		No way. You mean all this we've been doing is for naught? Julie doesn't exist? No more leads? This could very well mean the end of our ARG...
Ouch. This hurts. Sad

 		Oh man......should have thought it all sounded too good to be true - it was pretty convenient that everything ran so smoothly once we'd found out we had someone based in NYC.

I feel kinda dumb. And this puts us...where, exactly, in the ARG?

They were very convincing though, it has to be said.

 		This is terrible. All I can say is Saturn Girl called it. And things were looking good for a while there, too.

 		new wav file
HI guys been lurking for a while now, I havent really had anything to contribute so that's whay I've been quite. The movies website has changed again. It says that this is more than a movie, more than a game, you sent one of your own thinking I am Gertrude, I am not Gertrude. This is paraphrased of course, but you get the gist. So if we assume that yes, worldoyster was in game and duped us. And now they are saying that they have one of our own, I guess that would be worldoyster, who is not one of us. Sooooo that means that we really aren't playing right? they are just leading us on, or even (cooler, my opinion) into a TRAP! But on the other hand if one of us had "met" Gertrude then the whole it's not a movie thing wouldn't work, right?

 		Just to clarify, the IP points to someone at a University, not a studio, as being behind this. Pretty lame. Confused

Hmm, hate to have to break into the thread, but since it looks like we have a player who's gone to meet a game character and apparently disappeared, I feel I need to say something.

Here are the facts, and I'll let you all draw your own conclusion.

1-WorldOyster does not live in NYC, according to his/her static IP address.

2-The users WorldOyster and nuntium are posting from the same static IP.

Registering multiple accounts and posting as an in-game character (especially one who mysteriously disappears) is a) not very original; and b) a violation of the Unfiction Terms of Service.

I've emailed this person for an explanation, but as yet have not received a response. If I don't hear anything, the accounts will be suspended and IP banned for abuse.



Pardon me while I slam my head off of my desk.

...

I'm gonna e-mail Gertrude and see if I can get some answers. I feel like such an idiot.

Edit: Never mind.

 		Well spotted RDP.

I'm prettty surprised at all this - not that we've been duped, but that the PM's don't seem to have done much to cover their tracks. There's Mr Spooky voice telling us off for sending WorldOyster into the clutches of god knows who, and we're supposed to be shocked or terrified by this - except it's so obviously IG (do they seriously expect us to believe that a real person has been kidnapped?) - even if they hadn't been sloppy about WorldOyster's IP address, the cover would have been blown anyway when the unholy site was updated. That's all fair enough for progressing the game, but couldn't they have got us in touch with Julie outside of the forum? This whole ARG has been a series of flaunted rules on the part of the PM, and I'm starting to think again that it's all an elaborate spoof.

Pretty pissed off right now.

 		Ok found it.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"It is now time each and every one of you realizes that this is more than just a movie. More than just a game. So easily fooled. All of you. You sent one of your own thinking they were going to meet me... Gertrude. Guess what? I'm not Gertrude. This is your last warning. Stop digging. Little Julie was the first. Don't be the next."


I have Firefox so I didn't hear it Anywho, I'm a little pissed off that in-game characters have been posting on the boards. This is ARGJacking at it's stupidiest. I mean, come on guys, have a clue. You try to make an ARG to make your upcoming movie look cool, and you just sabotage it!

 		yeah that does bum me out. But pardon me for not remembering, I did a quick read thru to see If I missed the name. But who is Julie? I saw Hope, Gertrude, Martha, Lester Kraus, even Jordan, but no Julie. Did I miss it somewhere?
