@Cog,

Herro Been gone for awhile since the Cloverfield stuff. I discovered the TIDOwave site and that's about the only contribution to a game I've ever made. I'll be watching this develop.

You make that sound so minor. To find a new website in a JJ Abrams viral is like discovering a shipwreck treasure! It's not like you get to follow a link from a solved puzzle or existing site resource like in a more conventional ARG, you almost have to be Sherlock Holmes to find anything in JJ's virals.
Good to have you back around for this!

degravedi, here!
I started off on uF with Monster Hunter Club for the movie The Host. Some of my favorite ARGs were Project Abraham, Kronos480BC, and my absolute obsession, The Dark Knight. I also have a soft spot in my heart for the short but very sweet Pastry ARG. I was around for the beginning of the Cloverfield ARG but ended up finding it too hard to follow (mostly the posters, not the game itself. You guys were insane! ); I have since come to deeply regret not forcing myself to keep up. I'm currently playing Flynn Lives and Ministry of Argon, while hoping for more out of Inception and Dead Space 2. And like so many others, I'm still waiting around for Rachel's Walk (*poke, poke* You know who you are...).
I feel like I should have a favorite German word since my grandparents live there, my mother was born there, and I've got duel citizenship. However, for whatever reason, my mother never taught me to speak it. Although, if I had to make such a decision I guess I'd have to say Schadenfreude (although it's probably best to specify that I like the sound of the word, not necessarily it's definition).

Hello world.
My name is Robbie, no FSU sadly. Since someone registered with plain ole' Robbie before I found uF I threw my alma matter in front and BAM, FSURobbie was born.
I got into ARG's with Cloverfield, though I was primarily a lurker. Why So Serious? brought me into the fold hardcore and I've had a hard time staying away since. I've actually been on the peripheral of ARG's for much longer. I remember getting an offer to play the Majestic years ago and even though I was interested I was too cheap and passed thanks to the subscription fee. I've been kicking myself about that for a few years now.
Anyways, I try and contribute as I can but I'm not a puzzle whiz so I primarily just follow you geniuses around and add in my two cents as I am able. Sometimes I can create a graphic or two if necessary...
That's it.
German word: Zeitgeist.

Hi, my name is Jason AKA Magus00 and I'm a Clover-holic.
I understand that Super 8 isn't Cloverfield-related but still looks like it will have much of the same feel of the viral/ARG so I am totally on board.
Found Unforums after a certain trailer pointed to a date of 1-18-08. Since then, I have followed but not much participated in several ARGS. I also followed the Slender Man/Marble Hornets videos quite extensively.

Hey I'm Bloogun. You can call me Bloo. I'm new to this site but not new to ARGs. I'm 18 and I followed Cloverfield. I'm also really into music so I've been following iamamiwhoami and was into Trent Reznor's Year Zero.
I am technologically not as advanced as some people here with codes and decrypting and what not, but I love analyzing and discussion and I would love to join for this new ARG. Woop. Let it begin

Might as well introduce myself here.
I've been around for some time. Went to Ares Station, kept bees while drinking a Slusho. Previously I've kept mostly to myself, trying to figure stuff out while lurking in the shadowy outskirts of the forums.
Well, I've been looking forward to being a part of SOMETHING for a while, and this looks like the perfect piece of CF to start with. Abrams, Spielberg, train wrecks, what's not to like?
I hope I can contribute to this experience one way or the other.
