 		[OOG][UPDATE] The Effect responds to Ganu's open letter
To Hell With Tagruato!
The nerve, the gall, the audacity of Ganu Yoshida's (Tagruato's) slander and insults to the truth reached new heights today with the following statement posted on their website:


"Unfortunately, last week was a dark time for Tagruato, this company I love so dearly. I tried to contain the event for the sake of police investigation but now it is the time to come clean and tell our story to the world.

Our newest and brightest oil rigging development, Chuai Station, was attacked by a terrorist environment group called Tidowave. They released a series of explosions on the station, causing the loss of life and bringing the rig down into its knees. Tagruato has faced threats from this group for many years and has, with the help of our friends in the police forces, fought off many prior attacks. This blow, however, was too strong to miss us..."


Don't you love how they try to disguise a failed cover up as an attempt to help "police" in their investigation. And even if you're gullible enough to muscle that down, whose "police" are we talking about? Tagruato's uniformed mercenaries if at all. We've all seen the images of Chuai Station disaster, and nowhere is there even a hint of an explosion. In fact, the very lack of an apparent cause is half the story.

The one truth that can be gleaned from Tagruato's increasingly desperate attempts to shift blame to our comrades at T.I.D.O. Wave is that they'll resort to any length to try and hide what truly took place at Chuai Station. Such utter desperation is frightening in its implications. A corporate made disaster the likes of which threatens to ruin a giant like Tagruato would have to be on a scale that has never before been visited on mankind.

You need to post a link to something like this or its credibility will be questioned.

So pony up the link son!

It wasn't clear from the initial post but "The Effect" refers to a player-run site that attempts to play into the fictional universe of the movie, masquerading as an in-game protest group opposed to Tagruato. I think the idea was conceived around here somewhere and many people on this board probably assume it's common knowledge. Smile

 		Ah ty Senoir!

Having missed that I thought it might be a TIDOwave name I hadn't heard. Thread should be labeled OOG I am thinking?

Is is indeed an UnForums collaborative creation. It is OOG.

 		This blog actually strikes me as one of the coolest things to sprout from this chaotic system. And hey, maybe you'll care too if the PMs happen to acknowledge it in-game at some point. Smile

There's a comment on TIDOwave from them, with a link to the website, so you could say they already have.

Because not only has another ARG actually been altered by a fan-sent email, it also adds another layer of depth to the ARG by having the fans participate in the storyline...which is basically how most ARG's work.
