Out of curiosity, how did you find this blog in the first place? Just looking up Omnifam, Jamie Kane, Giantology or Pherotones doesn't give me any hits for this site in the first few pages of Google.

It seems to me to be a blog of a person, a real person perhaps, who just happens to mention different ARGs without really playing them...? I didn't read it all yet, I plan on doing that now, but so far the person is talking up Pherotones pretty heavily {someone who knows it is a contest and is trying to win perhaps?} and he mentions Omnifam as being run by "con artists" {i think we are going to have a couple unhappy PMs perhaps?}

I guess I'll comment at some point and see if i get a cryptogram of some sort.

[EDIT]he not only mentions where he works, but lists the website. Maybe it'll be worth a gander... http://www.huhcorp.com/ [/EDIT]
[EDIT#2] Huhcorp is hysterical...

I'm reading over the Huh Corp website now, and I have two things to say.

1. They can't be serious
2. It's laugh out loud funny.

Quote "Our professional design solutions will give you the confidence to succeed. And our web site will make you think we know what we're doing."

Edit- Ok looks like the blog poster is full of it, if he claims to work for Huh Corp. From what I can find through google is that this has been around at least three years. Sounds like he borrowed it for his own use.

The Huh Corp site's been mentioned in #uf a few times since '04, but I don't think anyone's ever mentioned the Narcoleptic Barracuda.

I guess we Omnifam PMs better lawyer up.

Hilarious! That Barracuda site is a little odd though. Could be an ARG (i see how it could become one)...eh, i don't know.

Whoever made HuhCorp is my hero(s)

Hey! I've been lurking for a couple of weeks following the ILB2 rip - but I find this much more interesting. It would be cool if it turns out to be 'something' - if nothing else, the guy is funny. Razz

I noticed on his blog a mention of Giantology and that the head guy is missing and has a secret identity too. And also his new favorite band People in Planes - P.I.P is similar too his ex- girlfriends name - Pip. Not sure if that's anything...

Anyway, I'll be keeping an eye on this one and hopefully learning a thing or two from you veterans. Wink

To answer some questions--

I searched Google Blogs for certain keywords (Jamie Kane, Omnifam, Pherotones, etc.) and came up with that NB blog. A ton of others, too--mostly old LJs and such that didn't really help me out too much...as well as some stuff in German. His seemed pretty recent, and kept coming up.

And lawyering up? Once again, I'm confused. Oh no...we wouldn't want to see NB get in trouble. He seems paranoid about life enough as it is without that.

And, Chewy, wanted some input because these things are a bit confusing to an outsider...though I'm completely perplexed and intrigued by Edoc Laundry. Also, wasn't sure if this was going to start a new ARG because I'd like to play one from the beginning.

Deck?
