 		[ARG?] "The Revolution". Something smells fishy.
I don't really play ARGs, but I found this... thing... And I thought that it'd be in the ARG community's best interests if I reported my findings.

I was browsing the World of Warcraft forums and I saw that someone posted some weird looking website. http://www.dfwr.org/
I poked around their forums and stuff, and the whole thing reeks of ARGness. The poster names are cryptic, and their messages are too.

I registered for the forums but I haven't gotten the confirmation email thingy yet, so I haven't been able to see the Private section.

So yeah, that's it. Have fun or whatever. I'm going to go back to waiting for the WoW servers to work.

 		NOOOO!!!
One of my biggest chances to finally upgrade a level in my ARGs skills and wait up to the revolution, but I'll get shot if I don't go to sleep soon (May get late to school.). I would prefer to stick to the revolution stuff, but it's really not my decision Sad ...
Still, I believe that yes, this is an ARG.
Please, if someone sees the revolution in his bare eyes while I'm asleep like a freaking morron missing the chance of my life, please contact me to evil_max6SPLAThotmail.com (For MSN messenger), or to evilmax6SPLATgmail.com (For email).
Thanks!

Edit: Checked the forums. No doubtly, it's an ARG. Or a bunch of lunatics. I believe we (I?) should wait 'till the revolution itself to start checking the clues spread on the forums.

2nd edit: OMG. One of the topics says "I love bees. What do you like?". If it's not the most obvious clue ever that this is an (Promotional?) ARG, I don't know what it is.

3RD EDIT, FOR GOD SAKE: Oops, havenīt seen the days stuff. Still, join us to this amusing ARG!

 		According to the source for the countdown, the Revolution will happen April 6, 2035. *cough* Recruiting a bit early aren't they?

Well, I think it is just an attempt to produce a meme like "All your Base are belong to us..."

DFWR.org Forum wrote:
It is an attempt at memetic (internet) culture thus far, empty of any real meaning, since none has been given.

It relates to Six Sigma, however, in Revolution's (the poster) own words.

Six Sigma is a business concept for reducing error, and is widely criticised. The apparent attempt to apply this model to ALL human endeavor is ill-advised, and would fail.


Not really an ARG perse, more a viral meme that is attempting to hijack the ARG delivery methods to insert it's insidious meme into our hearts. I blame the last full blood human for it's spread.


*Edit* It would help if I could format the tags correctly...

 		Oh dear lord. Its like, the next stage of NeuroCam.

Or possibly OhVerissimiltude (the Mtarix is real guy's) next thing.

Either way I can smell a load of pseudo-philisohpical drivel pulled right out of movies like The Matrix and Fight Club.

 		I think its neat, and there has been a distinct lack of cryptic internet gurus in my life since I left TMIR.

I signed up as Vanity, if anyone wants to follow my lead and sign up as the other Deadly Sins, since theres already a group named by numerics.
