Just want everyone to know that even though I am pretty overwhelmed at work I will be doing everything I can to follow along and contribute to this.

If you look at REDSNet, I'd start contributing gallery pictures. It's fun, good for you, and passes the time! =P

transcripts of Superstruct GEAS videos I'm transcribing the GEAS videos on the five superthreats here:

First three are done. The next two should be up by next week.
Enjoy!

Hi everybody! On the first page, I posted about who I would be, a person celebrating the end of the world.
Now that the ARG is coming though, I have to wonder about the "gimmick" for the blog I'll make. The "gimmick" is that I'll report on the instablity on the planet Earth. Not about the global food crisis or the lack of prepration against the Syndmore, but just, you know, the standard genocides, rebellions, terrorist attacks, wars, and nuclear posturing.
Why? Because I like that sort of political mayhem and revolutions.
But I am afraid that other people may not like it, and when I asked one person who said he is going to play this ARG, he stated that since his character is trying to survive, he won't really care about what happening outside. I like knowing what happening outside, since international relations interrelate, but...eh.
So that's what I am wondering. Is there demand or interest in a blog about wars?

This is what we'll have to watch out for: "We could have chosen to work together. Instead, we've got competing industries building technologies, products, and infrastructures that just aren't compatible. And today we're paying the price."
Will the superthreats spawn super factions?

suggestion for play I found an interesting post on how to play Superstruct here.
I am thinking about setting up a team blog centering around the Detroit area.
Anyone other than Copystar from the Detroit area?

Here's my blog.
http://superthreats.blogspot.com/
Subscribe to it, if you can. I'll document any interesting things that I find in the 2019's videos and press releases. Things that are interesting:
--The monarchy appears to have been overthrown in Kuwait, and a Democratic Republic is formed. Is this Democratic Republic a very radical "Islamic" one?
--A bomb blast in Ukraine shuts down one of the oil pipelines and Russia was rather quick to blame 'terrorists'. Could the bomb blast merely be an 'excuse' for Russia to shut off the oil pipelines and blackmail Europe? Also, the bomb blast could have been done by anti-Russian rebels...Ukraine is slowly drifting in a somewhat pro-Russia direction in the present, and I think that the pro-Ukrainians may want to resist that rather violently.
--For a supercomputer, GEAS seems to be using lots of human volunteers.
--The use of Drones in order to spy on government officals would hamper any private negogiations that could lead to peace occuring. This can lead to power-sharing agreements and conterversial peace treaties never bearing any fruit. Extermists would just send in drones, reveal the fact that their leader is making concessions, and inflame the entire population against the leader, thereby preventing the leader from actually making the concessions. But you need concessions in order to have peace. If there is to be any hope for peace, secret negogiations need to be restored...so drones need to be gotten rid of.
An extreme method of saving the human race:
--Take advantage of "Outlaw Planet". Form your own milita group/terrorist organization and get yourself a bunker. Wait out the chaos while ensuring the group stay alive and recruit. Once the majority of the human race is dead, breed like Adam and Eve, and restore the race back to promience. Extreme, but most likely to work.
I'm going to need to look at more videos though to see more stuff.

I just created my blog for the game - the first post is what I sent into Jane a while back, but I'll obviously be updating with fresh stuff as the game launches.

(and before anyone says anything, I know the game takes place in 2019, 2012 has just been part of my various usernames since forever...)
