 		I was accepted too, not saying who I am though because they used my real name.

 		I think I'll start a fictitious blog for the ARG, detailing my "efforts" to study and hunt the supernatural. Cool Heh heh.

Oh, would it?? D: Oops, I wouldn't mean to do that.

You must remember, I'm new to ARGs (see # of posts). It's gamejacking to elaborate of my fictional player character?

 		To the extend that:

a) it is not something required by the game itself (ie there are no clear incentives to create in-character blogs at the moment)
and
b) it might mislead/confuse/misdirect other players thinking that you are part of the game

then yes.

Usually what happens if games want you to be in-character they will provide you with a safe in-game area and they respect the "uF is completely out of game" rule. Smile

Ah, I see. Oh well, I guess I must put my creative excitement on hold for the moment. :-/

Having said that, it would not surprise me if this game required some creative essay skills from the players (most likely in the form of projects, incentive point system, etc) so you might not have to wait for too long. Smile

Well I might add that the intent should be to confuse/mislead/misdirect players... I think if someone's playing "in character", but makes sure the community knows it's just their in-character blog, it wouldn't be gamejacking =) (eg put a link back to unfiction, or a disclaimer or something)
As long as in-game and out-of-game is clear, imo.

Or in short leelzebub, what you do outside of UF is entirely up to you, but for the good of the community, let people know if it's in-game or out-of-game Smile

(that said, I'm not a huge fan of games where you role-play someone you're not anyway, where you don't "play" yourself, but that's just me =)

 		Hello all, I'm here too. Research, rank 2 on account of my amazing having-a-twitter-account-for-ARGs-skills. If only all jobs were this easy to get.

 		Well most likely this is not an in-game cloo but rather a website snafu on the PM's part.

But you never know with those nifty ARGs. In any case there are two versions of "Our Agents" page.

Version 1: http://saver.co/agents.php
Version 2: http://saver.co/our-agents/

 		Possible Stupid Move
So I was reading through the posts earlier, and I saw that the head of media was amendable to being contacted - so I did. Haven't heard back yet, but I'm wondering if I might have just screwed up my chances on advancement. Damn n00b mistake...

I'm chalking that up to a technical oversight. Is V2 linked to on the site, or is it simply the legacy page that was never removed?
