also where is the bold futura logo or tagruato logo? definitely OOG. Very Happy


Here it is...

(page image)


...I think the creator of this site might be having a look at what us at uf think of his site...

Anyway, has anyone tried the contact details to see what they come back with?

I'm pretty sure whoever it is is watching this thread.
You'll notice that's actually an edited version of the logo, sans the human form. Using the original outright might just violate the copyright of the real owners.

You'll notice this was updated again on a weekend, something we've never seen the official sites do.

I need some sort of link to tagruato or slusho, to make me think anything but OOG. All i can say tho is, this person gets an A++ for sheer effort.

Tagruato still doesnt link to it as well, although I'm not seeing the misspelling (but I could have missed it)


Actually, TWO blatant spelling/grammar errors: "Tomorrows" should have an apostrophe (tomorrow's), and "conception" is a term for makin' babies....our hoaxster was looking for "concept," not "conception."

And again, the #1 test above all else is the Tagruato link, as you mentioned.

If it was IG, tagruato.jp would damn well link to it. Period.
It doesn't. So OOG fanjack, totally. Period.

Hey man , we haven't seen you that much in a while, welcome back. Smile


To me the designers of this gamejack site missed the main thrust of what the Tagruato site was trying to point out. Ganu developed machines that would function in extreme conditions. (In my theory he did this through his research in extremophiles which might be the DSI but that's besides the point). This microchip stuff doesn't jive with the extreme condition technology thrust of the Tagruato site:

"Tagruato has long been developing vehicles and machinery that will operate at the same capacity as the bulldozers and cranes you pass on the freeway each day, but also function at the ocean's greatest depths"

"There are great reservoirs under the ocean floor that no one can get to due to obstruction by physical elements," explained Jo at the December 18th press conference. "With these new technologies in place, Tagruato will destroy any barrier."

"Ganu's introduction of the Tagruato deep sea drilling techniques has revolutionized off-shore drilling,"

"Our scientists and engineers have created drilling technology that can withstand degrees of extreme pressure, cold, and heat never before thought possible. This groundbreaking feat of industrial triumph allows for research and retrieval in areas previously unexplored by man."

"we go deep. Capable of excavation at distances exceeding 7,000 meters of water and 9,200 meters of seabed, the greatest depths of the oceans have been opened for business."

"A machine made with Bold Futura parts works where others fall to pieces. A vehicle made with Bold Futura equipment will travel where others cannot reach. Our unique ability to function in areas of severe temperature or pressure can have desirable implications for our clients."

"Ganu Yoshida was in search of an avenue to support his off-shore drilling revelations."

"With our ground-breaking deep-sea drilling technology"

It had not been yet, nope.
Good job!

To those complimenting those likely gamejackers making this site, take note that most of the work is really done for them, and they just edit the inserted text and manipulate a few images. In this case the 'tough work' included deleting music.
Hope they didn't break a sweat. Laughing

Actually a template was found at www.dynamicfactory.us
for the original site about a week ago here , earlier in the thread.

No biggy, definitetly a readily available template...lol

I think it was called 3D Tech......

[edit] - noticed the more recent template was for the updated site (nice find noone)...double confirmation Wink

Indeed, this new version has a new source.
I think that was intentional on the part of the site's creators, hoping that maybe choosing from a different site might obscure the fact that it is still just a template someone else made. We would, of course, look to the first template site to find a 'new' version of the site there first. By hoping we'd not find the new source of the template they'd try to sustain the illusion that it's genuine.

Seems like they'd get clever and just use bits and pieces of what's available - like was done with Slusho's site. They would then have to create a layout and add in the other bits of media...
Oh wait, that would require work...

From [OOG] warbloid.com ...New website

Its never hard to tell when something is out of game.


When I first saw the buildings on this "new" Bold Futura website, it reminded me of the Warbloid site.

I'm guessing it's the same people.

I guess I was as right back then as I am now.

"Enter Site", me clicks and a new window opens up GAH! What poopy web design.

Anyway, are any of you thinking that just maybe we won't be getting individual pages for all of the subsidiaries of Tagruato? I'm looking back to the timeline of events thus far and I'm thinking its becoming less likely by the day. If that's the case that kind of debunks a whole lot of speculation done on here. I think it may give a little weight to some of the Slusho focus too.

Speaking of poopy websites, I'm sure if there is a problem already at the Chuai station whoever the webmaster of tagruato.jp is would still have done some sort of update on the damn site. "Chuai station opening soon" changed from the September 2007 opening date still posted on the site. Methinks someone is dropping the ball a little by neglecting the Tagruato site completely. Hypothetically if there was a a real Tagruato company and these monster shininagans were taking place, someone not in the know of all the craziness would still be in charge of the website. If he didn't get the word from his higher ups to update the Chuai station to "Opened" then I'm sure he would have done something as to not make the site look so out of date. Even if Yoshida himself was battling Cthulu out at sea someone back home would want to make the website as up to date as possible. Eh, its just a little tacky to me. Confused

^^I've thought we won't get individual sites from when we first got Tagruato. Just like we won't get different language translations. The site summaries moved the story along all it needed to.
But you know, if THE POWERS THAT BE see the anticipation of these sites opening they might feel obligated to throw together some pages but it will just be expanding the experience and not leading it anywhere new.

I never seen the Jamie and Teddy page coming but I (like almost everyone else) was expecting the Ganu company to show up and spent long hours searching for it. The next step I'm not sure of, hopefully way more attention to Myspace, the Slusho competition and (I'm really hoping for this one) a Greenpeace-like anti-Tagruato site with maybe the appearance of one mystery man -- Teddy Hannsen.
IMO if the subsiduaries sites show up it wasn't a planned thing but one just because of fan pressure. I think they would of linked to a under -maintenaince/construction page instead of back to tagruatos' main page if they were coming, we've always been told clearly that a new Slusho page was coming.

The Pm surely knows that we were to scour the tagruato website. I'm sure that the website will help us identify an IG clue/new site. I feel that the pm are planting the seeds within the known sites (the mitt-cheese-donkey, the detail of a work day) and that we will find the meaning only when supposed to, but only if we remember those details as a whole.
