I was cleaning out all my old contacts in my ARG email account, when I noticed details[-at-]vaporlofts.com. Out of curiosity I decided to send an email. Not really thinking I would get a reply or at most an auto responder I just sent "?" and that's it. Well about four hours later I received this:

vaporlofts wrote:

"What'd he say to you?"

"Oh... well, about Life being a game and all. And how you should play it according to the rules. He was pretty nice about it. I mean, he didn't hit the ceiling or anything. He just kept talking about Life being a game and all. You know."

"Life is a game, boy. Life is a game that one plays according to the rules."

"Yes, sir. I know it is. I know it."

Game, my ass. Some game. If you get on the side where all the hot-shots are, then it's a game, all right - I'll admit that. But if you get on the other side, where there aren't any hot-shots, then what's a game about it? Nothing. No game.


Now I don't think this is the start of another round of vaporlofts nor do I think we should start bombarding them with emails. I just thought It was kind of interesting so I decided to share it. I am interested in any spec anyone may have regarding it's meaning. Perhaps it's dialog from a book? IDK.

Edit: I knew I recognized that quote, It just took me a bit. It's from:
The Catcher In The Rye.

 		Might this be their way of telling us "Screw you guys, I'm going home," particularly due to the lukewarm reaction (but positive and negative) of their game ending the way it did? Hehehe. If so, I likes.
