and hey presto i found it.

On the message boards mentioned above there is the following post here

Quote:

What they don't want you to know
Let me introduce myself. My name is Susan Phillips, and I am the mother of Andrew Phillips, an avid game player who plays any game he can get his hands on. I am extremely proud to be his mother, but as of right now, I am in an extreme crisis.

The games that my son loved have now consumed his life. He is currently in a hospital bed in a comatose state. And I blame this all on the game called "The World".

You may think I am nuts, but I know I am right. He was not prior to seizures, he is not an epileptic, he is not anything except the son I love. He has no medical problems, but yet I found him, on his floor, writhing in pain because of this game and how it is made!

"The World" is an accident waiting to happen! And the CC Corporation, the makers, are doing nothing, NOTHING, to help myself and my son! Instead, they put resources into shutting me up, so I don't put their company or their assets in danger.

I have made this blog to broadcast my message to all gamers, to avoid "The World" and to avoid playing this game! It can hurt you! I know I sound nuts, and I know none of this is documented in the papers, but please believe me, this game put my son in the hospital... and God... please let him pull through.



with a link to the blog http://www.mothersagainsttheworld.blogspot.com



also there's a chat room on the usual server at #hackarg

Duh. I can't believe I didn't think of it before. But, I am good at stating the obvious.

That flash...somebody owes me a new computer screen - this one's now covered in coffee.

I think I'm going to go hide under a blanket.

Okay.. "new" person joining.

While I was checking out the mothers' blog, I noticed a link for signing a petition. So, I click on it. Looks normal. On the petition, there is also a link for "view signatures". Now, I do recognize a lot of the names... except for one... the very first one... Alex Michaels... it's not the mothers' name so I don't know how important it may be.

EDIT: Someone has way too much time on their hands to post such a long "LOL" comment. Just my opinion.

Alright, I'm in. I've been looking for a game that I can really sink my teeth into. I've also been studying the mentality of gamers ever since the game World of Warcraft came into the scene, and stole a few of my friends away, if you get my drift. I hate video games, but I understand them and the people who play them, so I'm definitely in.

Secondly, I've been paying a great deal of attention to SugarPink. Naturally I'm sure everyone has checked her blog by now. There seems to be quite a few comments in her blog, which more then likely seem to be other online gamers. Has anyone actually come in contact with this person yet? I attempted to send her an email.

Quote:
I know this seems like a good time to be fearful, but I have done some research and I'm sure you've noticed that there are several people who are willing to help you. I wish to help you in anyway possible, and I'm no threat to you what-so-ever. As you more then likely know the makers of "The World" are becoming increasingly interested in what is transpiring. So before anything else happens to anyone else, please respond to my email.

Regards,

Chantalle♥


Awaiting Response

[EDIT]

Also, this bit of text from the website got me thinking.

Quote:
There is someone, whom I believe, has a problem with my world. the world.

Why don't you go talk to them?

You will probably find it very enlightening.

Find them. Then come back to me. I'm sure you'll understand my game that much more. Au revoir.


I'm sure talking to sugarpink, who now "has a problem with the world" should be spoken to, just like the script says. She's also an expert of the game, thus we'd become "enlightened" and more knowledgeable of the game.

I think that the person who has a problem with Era's world now, is more than likely his mother Susan in contrast to Cora.

Yes, Susan does seem to have a problem with "The World" video game, but so does Cora. Although she left a comment in Susan's blog telling her not to place blame on CC Corp, Cora also writes in her blog that she is very distraught over what has happened and decided that she will "hang up the visor"

Also, I highly doubt that Susan can enlighten us to the specifics of the game, Cora would be more likely to let us know about the game, and what exactly happened, since I believe she may have be with Era when the accident occurred

Although I have attempted to contact both parties, at the moment I think substantial information will come for Cora.

Hmm, I see your point, butI still think that Andrew is referencing his mother. I suppose all we can do is wait for more contacts between Cora, Susan and ourselves. I have emailed Andrew as well as both Cora and Susan, but no reply as of yet.

Naturally, I believe attempting to contact all the people we can is crucial at this part of the game. The only way that will really verify whether or not this is a game is whether or not we get a puzzle, or whether or not we get contacted by one of these people... or better yet.... contacted by these people, with a puzzle ^_^;

Did I miss something? We have Andrew's e-mail? Or do you mean you posted on his blog? Confused

I just got home and there was a voicemail on my machine. I'll transcribe it best I can (I accidentally deleted it).

The message ended there, he must have hung up, we don't have a time limit on our machine.
