 		Looking for an ARG involving a 'Shadow Government'
Those who remember the grass-roots ARG "Seen James", will recall there was an aspect of a "Shadow Government" which players were slowly uncovering.

I'm looking for an ARG which has a similiar style to it.

Does anyone know of any current ARGs running or the promises of a soon-to-be-launched ARG in this style of narrative?

 		Not sure about the shadow government in "Seen James" (just checked the archived thread and didn't see a walkthrough) but there's three ongoing games that utilize elements of the concept as I see it. Disclaimer, I'm only playing Deus City so my summaries of the first two could be way off base.

Overwatch (can be found in News and Rumors as www.tradecraftjournal.com) -- the government had a project going on that's very much hush hush, which might fit with "shadow"

Frank Sturgis (can be found in News and Rumors) -- some corporate guy was assassinated, all of this is tied in to prominent deaths of the past, like JFK EDIT: oops...apparently this game imploded (but in a nice, respectable, upfront way) without my noticing

Deus City (has its own sub-forum) -- there's a government in the future, but it's very Big Brother-esque and you're not really sure who's in control.[/b]

Thanks for the response! I took a look at Overwatch and it seems they closed the original rabbit hole for that one. I like to follow an ARG from the beginning and it seems they've taken that away for this one.

I signed up for Deus City and am trying to approach it from a pure level - IE: Not reading any of the posts on Unforum and just trying to get information from the web site and the PMs themselves. So far I only feel like being someone who is helping the government of the future, so until I get information to make that change I believe my karma will be quite red. <grin>
