<ARG> Prototype 161 Cross posted from Despolier Seems there is a new game that has been mentioned over at Despoiler. This is the website...
http://prototype161.com/
They seem to be doing some recruitment for the game that will launch in July...
They sent SpaceBass a letter excepting him in as an investigator.. The letter is posted there as well...
Edit:
Ok i signed up and it says they will be contacting me. They also have an events calendar available. Seems like they are going to be doing interviews in RL
They also go on to mention they offer services that have "unique" methods with a 100% satisfaction and guarantee rate....

This looks interesting. The only issue I have is "New agent recruitment will take place on the evening of Saturday, July 12th in New York City"???

Man. It seems they'll only accept you as an agent if you get "tested" at a live event. Seems they're at gaming conventions.
Oh well, I signed up anyways.

I see that they are doing "interviews" in New York and LA among other places... Can they please come down south??

http://www.prototype161.com/missing/nyc.jpg
also: http://prototype161.com/login and http://prototype161.com/signup which seems broken at the moment.

Really? Think this could be connected with the game Prototype then?

Wonder if the "LMTH" (HTML) reference in Space's letter means anything
prototype161 form LMTH."E UR"
I can't find a "RUE" or "EUR" page.
There are a few agents , though.

Signed up but it seems like the events in LA will not actually be agent recruiting, more like previews at the expo...shame too this looks really interesting.

Maybe (please hopefully) people who can't actually become agents and run around the cities to find real items will still be able to contribute online in some way.

Improv Everywhere got the trailhead too. I'm not sure what to make of that, but it makes me want to expect something humorous.
