I'm in. Hopefully it's not as crappy as The Inside Experience (similar set up, different company) turned out to be.
Doing the O.D.D. "quiz" now.
Edit: Accepted. I'm in. There's a case file on the site. Time to start reading.
Edit 2: Actually... I'm thinking this is part of the find me event trailhead.

^I played that. Blatant shill game :/
Anyway, did anybody notice the progress bar and how far from full it is? I think they're going to have something new soon (I hope!)

I'd love to play but there is no button to agree to the Terms of Service/Privacy Policy page, so I can't move on

Re: Alternet Reality ‘Truman Show’-Style Online Game Uses Actors, Not Animation Renna, I'm also having this same problem.
Ashe, are you using something other than IE, perhaps?

I had to switch to Google Chrome to get the agree button to show. Did not work with IE 9. Though I did notice the questions changing each time I tried registering on IE 9 before I switched. Thank you Ashe and Annamarie for pointing me in the right direction.

There have been several online articles about this venture on various forums and game sites, all the last couple of days. I believe their site may have gotten temporarily overwhelmed by all the hits.
A contact of mine has advised that they're working diligently on bringing things up to speed as soon as possible. So watch for updates here.

So in the meantime we wait. Looks pretty cool, can't wait for the next case to pop up.

I hate that I am in 169th place when I am actually tied for 3rd.

Drat, looks like I'll have to watch from the sidelines at least for the beginning of this. I don't own a cell phone. Well, I'll be a lurker, good luck guys!
