 		[ARG/RPG/SOMETHING?] Akishin
Not that this should be taken as a Phaedraic Endorsement, or anything Razz, but do we know anything about this Akishin thingie? Some sort of RPG/ARG cross, supposedly?

Anyway, trout me if this is old news.

 		the view-source of http://www.madketchup.co.uk/akishin.htm

shows the only things that show up in the "game"

Quote:
room001 = "You should not be here..."
room002 = "You set off into the woods heading north. After a few hours march it begins to get dark. You can camp here for the night (a) or press on, hoping to find habitation (b)."
room003 = "There is a suitable site just off the path. You make camp and eat a meal from your provisions before settling down to sleep for the night."
room004 = "ERROR - 263. Incorrect login attempt reported."
room005 = "You press on into the darkness, a few moments later a bear trap snaps shut on your leg for 9 HP damage. Cursing your ill-fortune you can choose to make camp after all (a) or continue to press on (b)."


i don't know what to make of this..should we be trying to log in to something? or maybe the game is only meant to be played by the alpha testers?
Quote:
Akishin: The players take the parts of hereditary guardians of the world, in this RPG/ARG cross which is set in the present day. Initially, the players have no idea of the true nature of reality, but gradually more is revealed to them until the time comes when they must make a defining choice. The game cleverly weaves real-life events with the game plot-line to create a truly immersive experience. Uses the bespoke Akishin AlterWeb browser - websites, messaging and emails for a different universe! Currently in limited Alpha test (you know who you are!).


:edit: also the binary that shows up in the "game" comes up as nothing in the binary translator..so nothing there.

 		I clicked around a bit and then clicked "start" and the message "You should not be here..." appeared plus the binary string "10011010010011001001" in the window on the right which is 632009 in decimal.
I see the string has been seen, just wanted to have the exact thing posted for sake of completion.
