Looking at "From Fiction", the webMISTRESS's (theres a pic on HER lj) "better half"'s lj, I see a recurring theme of the "otakukin" mentioned in the vigenere blog post, which I had to look up. Basically it's when one believes that they have the soul of an anime or manga character (expected something like that.)

And poking around her LJ, this looks either really really well planned (detailed posts dating from before 2006, although with lj you can change the date) or completely OOG (if there IS a game). Look at her profile: http://overlord-mordax.livejournal.com/profile (and note the AIM). Maybe we're meant to disregard older posts.

I just realized that I, too, got the email, and I've never been in contact with her before, so maybe it is a game. At this point I can't tell.

EDIT: I also replied to the "accidental" email, being pretty generic. We'll see what happens.

EDIT 2: Well here's the reply:
Quote:
Angela,

Yeah, sorry about that, I feel really embarrassed. A ton of people got that message, and to be honest, some of them I wish they hadn't. I got a troll at my LJ earlier that I'm sure came from that email. *sigh* On the other hand, I guess its put my website out there, if I want to look at the bright side of my mistake. As for being nosy, I'd be the last one to discourage curiosity. I find that in life it is often rewarded.

Sae


I think maybe I'll talk with her a bit...

(BTW, for the anime-challenged, Xelloss appears to be a character from the Slayers franchise.)

Hint: Take a look at who posted the comment... look at her profile.

Ha.. wasting your anger on them is silly, Sae-chan. They are below us and barely worth our attention. To quote Master: "Humans are insects to me." I do hope I regain my form before going home, as well, I will admit. I have a mental list of people I want to kill in a horrible way.
I cannot wait to leave this world behind.
Glory to our Masters and to our beautiful black mazoku souls. ♥


Also, they've noticed our interest: http://overlord-mordax.livejournal.com/129632.html?thread=365920#t365920

Interesting... I can't tell what this is. Seems to be a lot of other otatkukin out there, FWIW.

It seems as though we're being watched.

After listing the email in my LJ I got a comment.

http://thegonzogrift.livejournal.com/61412.html

One of the comments is from Sletia. She wasn't very polite... contending that the email was private. I told her that I found that awfully fishy considering I have never known "Sae" let alone given her permission to contact me.

I still have no idea if this is actually a game. Maybe that's the point?

They seem to be pretty communicative through LJ. Maybe that's how I'll stay in contact with them.

Um, I don't know how you figure my comment wasn't very polite... I just clarified that it was a misunderstanding.
I don't know Mordax's connection to people on this forum, nor who she has as contacts or anything. I was just trying to say that to just disregard it as it was an accident.
It's not a game. We're just otakukin talking about our past lives, and she made a shrine to Xelloss and she was letting me know she finished it. That's all it is.

Well, if it is a game, and I'm to go a head and say it's not a very well thought up one. I'll leave this to you guys I guess. Feel free to use my journal as a reference.

I only let her know about this topic because we're trying to figure out who is flaming her in her LJ. I thought maybe she'd recognize the forum... maybe she used to come here.
Why is everyone insisting this is a game? I'm confused. Confused

Ha! srsly.

But you know, what kind of got my wheels turning. If you look in both of these journals profiles you'll notice that they're both paid accounts. If you just wanted to have a journal to vent in, why would you pay for an account?

Hi Sletia! Not to speak for the entire unfiction community, but I'm pretty confident that we're not your trolls. Veteran ARG players don't troll, in my experience.

Since you seem unaware of what we're about (and rather than direct you to a FAQ you'd probably be uninterested in), ARG = Alternate Reality Game. Blurring the lines between reality and make-believe is one of the things that makes it fun, and one of the catch phrases for the genre is "This Is Not A Game" or TINAG. Hope that clears things up for you a bit, and sorry for the confusion. Smile

FWIW, I saw your comment on Gonzo's LJ and thought it was more informal than rude. Potato, potahto. However I do approve of Gonzo's avatar here. Very Happy

I think we can stick a fork in this one, folks. Too bad, I'd love an anime/manga ARG...

There are lots of reasons to have a paid account. I've come theeees close to upgrading my LJ many times. 'Course I haven't used it in so long that I can't remember many of those reasons now - but one is that you get a lot more userpics. With free accounts, you only get 6.

Hey, can you do us a favor and post on your LJ to confirm you're who you claim to be, and aren't a gamejack?

Just want to make sure I have all my bases covered.

I still want to know how she got my ARG-only email adress Confused What has she PM'd?

Anyway if she's reading the thread and this ISN'T a game, thanks for emailing me back anyway and I was genuinely curious ^_^

I find it very hard to believe that this is not a game. Several people who should not have been in Sae's adress book were. And do normal people use complex ciphers in comments?

On the other hand, if this is a game, then posting on unfiction (OOG) is highly unorthodox, in my opinion. I'd like some comformation that this Sletia isn't a gamejack as well.

Yeah I noticed that as well this morning. She sent me a quick IM (of which i needed save because I'm an idiot) we spoke for a moment and I asked her why my e-mail address was in her contacts. She told me that she things Xelloss put it there because he wanted me to be contacted. She asked me to add her as a friend on LJ and I asked her to tell me when Xelloss returns.

Either this is a game, or this girl really thinks she's an otakukin... I don't know which scenario is more disturbing.
