The only thing they mention on the website is Tagruato's drilling, probably because it directly 'attacks' Mother Earth, draining her 'lifeblood.' That and the little fact about the whales. Why would they care if people are injured? They are referred to as the enemy.


You beat me too it.

These guys are concerned about our ocean. They could care less about slusho and some stupid wax. Wink

Its our OCEANS that are being destroyed, and our precious fishes.

God forbid they take over a fish hatchery rather than pet shelters. hehe...

 		Can we please just stick a knife in this one already and call it IG? Rolling Eyes

I think we've all established there's a mountain of evidence that directly points to IG at this point. C'mon now people.

 		As interim head of the validity comittee, I say Tidowave.com is IG enough.

JJ has to keep throwing us breadcrumbs because we spend too much time and energy debating website validity and bitching about redundant posts. I haven't seen a single convincing gamejack site yet -- including bold futura.

It took days after the first pirated trailer video surfaced for folks here -- even "veterans" to accept it as IG. Also, the synopsis of that trailer was posted more than a month before the trailers released and folks kicked that accurate description to the curb as well.

 		Okay first off, Nice find!

Secondly for those of you who are saying this is NOT in game because of the inconsistancies and that the name doesn't make sense just look at Tagruato. We accept that as in game with no question YET the site is a supposed Japanese company WITHOUT a japanese translation to their website in fact all of those links and financial links are busted and reroute to the english pages. That makes no sense to me at all, but I let it slide. You all should probably do the same with this site.

Lastly I did some research on the Sunda Anemone they speak of. It is not a type of anemone they are talking about (as I think someone said earlier) but rather the area in which they live. The Sunda Arc is basically a Malaysian underwater (some parts above water) Volcanic Ring with a number of creatures indiginous to it. I can't find a specifically referenced anemone that only lives there as of yet, but I am still looking I just wanted to post my findings on The Sunda Area so that others can skip that part of the searching.

Any bad publicity about Tagruato is good substance for a site like Tidowave.com, no matter what it it's about...

Been visiting the site since august (sometime around the period everyone was seeing stuff in the mirrored movie posters...

We accept Tagruato.jp for a number of reasons. A picture at 1-18-08.com lead us to it. Additionally, the Slusho.jp site has a direct connection to Tag. Tag lists Slusho! among others as theirs. There are embedded logos in the Slusho! site of Tag. Tag is the big show now. TIDO is intruiging none the less. But some of this makes no sense as far as IG goes. Why do you make an effort to first lead people to Slusho! Make Slusho your iconic image and then the writers suddenly drop Slusho! and focus on Tag only and only Tags environmental issues.

That is why it does not make sense to me right now.

 		Someone should also send a mail to tidowave asking about the documentary with the old lady drinking 12 slushos,... Maybe they know more about the origins of the "leaked" info we got a while ago...

Morning, Doc Awk! I could not find anything new or revelating on the site though. Everything up there is what we already had known. Although I must admit the November 24 Google cache of the site is interesting.

Why no mention of the Tagruato product lines? I would think that TIDO would be all over that. The Effect site understands and responds appropriately and is more interesting. The Effect site is a better example of an IG site IMHO.

I am not calling this OOG yet, but my skepticism alarm is red flagging it right now. If TIDO did a post that did a game course correction or some piece of information, then fine.


Good morn' bud!! Tho the site seems to have revealed very little apart from what we
knew previously, I still perceive the mention of Toshiro's father-in-law's memorial
service as a subtle nod of sorts. To those whom the site does classify as IG, we, at
least, now have some names to identify and associate to those who oppose Ganu,
his corp., and his tactics (The Green Bandit & The Warriors of Mother-Earth, as
well as the potentially less relevant, Toshiro, etc.). The revelation is in the introduction…

Pessimism and optimism are a slippery slope - I tend to side with Demetri Martin
here…whether the glass is half full or half empty depends on what's in the glass. If
the glass has poopi in it (lol - I said poopi), then I say the glass is half empty. If the
glass contains Asti Spumante, then I vote half full - it's all a matter of opinion…
I suppose one could simply classify the glass as equally partitioned with air and
[blank] just as easy. Skepticism is a dangerous mistress - yet unquestionable faith
can be as well. For what it's worth, keep your skepticism at your right hand, but
don't let it guide you…

I'd agree with Lochoco for the most part as well...TIDOWave is against the source
of the problem, as they see it - the invasive, irresponsible, and irreversible
repercussions derived from deep sea drilling, etc.. If Les Guerriers de Mère-Terre
succeeds in waging war against Ganu and his parent corp., Tagruato, the other
antagonists, such as Slusho!, ParafFun, etc., should simply dissolve. Wouldn't be
surprised to see more of the subsidiaries mentioned at some point tho, perhaps in
an attempt to bolster their views as you suggested...

 		Hmm
This seems to have degraded into an us vs. them mentality, which is ridiculous. Can anyone point out the value of this site, what does it tell us, anything? Are there any clues there? If not, this is definitely OOG.

 		The site confirms that Tagruato is one bad gigantic company, willing to do anything to reach their goals, I consider that as a confirmation of other clues. Apart from that, there are plenty of other things worthy of investigating further, such as the dead scientist, the whereabouts of his files... So I wouldn't really state that this site is a dead end...

They're trying to tell a story. I assume they are doing things in some kind of order... The importance of Slusho! (even if there isn't much to it ) will be revealed in due time.

I don't think the site has provided anything further... yet... I think it will.

When Tagruato showed up, we all had our doubts for the same reason: we found the site through an obscure link, but we all had our doubts as to its validity. That doubt went away when Tagruato was mentioned on the Slusho! site, establishing it as being in the game without question.

We have no direct corroborating evidence for this site yet. Like I've said before: I'm *pretty* sure it's IG, but I won't be 100% convinced until I see direct mention of it from either the Tagruato site itself or from Jamie's video site.

One thing that bothers me about this site: why use Domains by Proxy? That goes against everything that's been done with IG sites in the past. We've used WHOIS information in the past to establish something being "in game"... why hide it now?

That's pretty ambiguous, and meaningless. I am assuming OOG unless something to the contrary surfaces. Things like design and mention of Tagruato are not definitive proof. Anyone could have photoshopped the header, anyone could have designed the website nicely.

EDIT: The number of gamejacks concerning Cloverfield makes this site warrant heavy suspicion.

No us vs. them - simply diligence on both parts...
The site hosts a wealth of new information to those willing to deem it IG.
If the site is OOG, it's obvious Euchre is behind it - as he is the only one
intelligent and tech savvy enough to pull it off with such couth. And
seeing as I know Euchre does not advocate game jacking, the site is
most certainly IG Wink
