 www.lost.eu/530be -- ARG or not?

www.lost.eu/530be

is this considered an ARG? or is this something else entirely? i'm still new to the whole idea of ARGs (i became interested 2 days ago because of Game Informer), but this site seems interesting. they're trying to get 7,000,000 players, and once they do, they said that all players who survive level one will be welcomed into level two (if a level two exists, which they're strongly hinting at). it seems distinctly ARG-ish, and it looks like if they succeed, it's gonna be the biggest freakin' ARG yet (as far as i can tell). so join up if you're interested. it looks to have potential...

Just from the fact that they're asking for players, and the point seems to be simply to get players, I would say no. Looks more like some sort of global performance art project than an ARG.

This is spam. He gets points for everyone who joins from his referrals.

Can someone delete this, or remove the numbers/letters after the domain?

why does that make it spam?

if people want to join using my invite, they join using my invite. if they don't, they can to to www.lost.eu and look up someone else's invite if they're still interested in the game. and if they're not interested, they don't join.

if you still think it's spam, then get a mod to delete it, i don't care. i just thought i would see if i could get the number of players closer to 7 million, and i figured why not use my invitation/URL?

once again, the game home page is www.lost.eu

there are other links to join there if you'd rather not join using my invitation.

Indeed there are other links to join, such as the one in my signature Wink

No, it's not an ARG. I just joined cos it seemed interesting. Apparently other people do too, because several have signed up from my link. Whether its' spam, I don't know

hahaha another thing people can do (and have done) if they want to join but think i'm a spammer or unoriginal or boring, is sign up, but give me a creativity score of 0/5.

I knew this felt familiar, and so I tracked it down in Timewasters under Hell:
