Crack the Code Reality Game SABOTAGE

[konamouse]

So, doing the usual UF-trained spying. View Source (nothing really jumping out).
Whois shows GoDaddy registration without any contact data (created 15 May 2006) for both RealSabotage.com and RealityGameStation.com.
Couldn't find anything Googling BERG, LLC.
Found this in Terms of Service:

E-mail Address of Designated Agent: bcookSPLATseorefugee.com
Not sure about this place: http://www.seorefugee.com/
Reverse IP on the Whois found another site:
http://whois.domaintools.com/domainhatcher.com with Benjamin Cook listed.

Needs a new webmaster. Shouldn't put stuff out on the server that should be saved for later:

Doesn't look like the contest is up yet.

Ho-hum.

ETA: Because I am bored:

Statement #1 for both Porta and Popham is true, ergo Statement #2 for Popham is false.

So, this is what I have:

Porta (P)
1 - T
2 - F
3 - ?
4 - ?

P1 is true, therefore O2 must be false. (P1 is true because if it were false, 3 of the 4 statements would have to be false, and only two can be.)

P2 is false, because it doesn't work out if you enter a T value for it. Therefore, S2 is true.

If P3 is true, S3 is false.

If P4 is true, S1 is false and O3 is false.

Spencer (S)
1 - ?
2 - T
3 - ?
4 - ?

If S1 is true, then P4 and O3 are false.

S2 is true.

If S3 is true, then P3 is false, O4 is false, and W3 is true.

If S4 is true, then W2 and W4 are false.

Popham (O)
1 - T
2 - F
3 - ?
4 - ?

O1 is true (because if it weren't, three statements total would have to be false).

O2 is false (because it conflicts with P1, which is true).

If O3 is true, then P4 and S1 must be false.

If O4 is true, then S2 and W3 must be false.

Wheatstone (W)
1 - ?
2 - ?
3 - ?
4 - ?

If W1 is true (which does not necessarily make W4 true), S4 is false.

If W2 is true, P1 is false and S2 is true.

If W3 is true, O4 is false.

If W4 is true, then W1 must also be true, S4 must be false, and P1 must be false.

And hm, either I made a mistake in outlining the dependent relationships, or there's a flaw in the puzzle, because entering T for both P3 and P4 results in problems in the other people's statements, but I have now lost interest and am going to bed.

So, another site hosted on the IP was googled, but I had to go into the cache to see stuff posted by skitzzo and found this.

His MySpace profile (linked from LeeLeak's MySpace).

Benjamin Cook's "Pops" is a professional website designer.

Stuff in SEOrefugee which seems to be run by Ben and his Pop.

So, is this a reality tv show? Is it an ARG? Or, is it an experiment in SEO?
You decide after reading this.

While there seems to be a game in this, I think the SEO association is very obvious... looks like a way of raising pagerank or creating linkfarms or whatever they do for SEO... or at the very least they're trying to increase traffic to a legit site by spamming different boards (which I doubt is legit because he said "short term project")

I don't think we should contribute to that and thus remove all the hyperlinks if this is allowed to go on. Change the URL to something else and just notify everyone who wants to visit the actual site of how to do that, without giving them search engine benefits.
