 		Ooh, check out www.c-cure.co.uk.

This looks ARGish! Looks like a puzzle... if you type something in the box it tells you to go away. That's nice.

Also, why does the E-mail say saturday the 15th of April? The 15th was a friday.

 		It IS an ARG! I think...
Can't believe Jam06 found this; I'd have just binned it straight away.

It's very late here, but I took a look at the site and opened the GIF in Textpad on a hunch. Sure enough, this greeted me at the bottom of the page.

If that ain't a cryptic trialhead I don't know what is!

If you'd care to see how many posts I've made you'll notice that I really don't know what is Embarassed But it looks dead suspicious to me. Off to try passwords...

EDIT: I am on a late night sleep-deprived roll! I found out what the wierd message was all about (good old Gogle!)

It's a quotation by some guy called Thomas Fuller. I didn't stick around long enough to find out more about him; his name was the password.

EDIT#2 WTF?? Now it says I'm the leader. Whatever that means. I'd gladly give the responsibility to someone else (seems only fair to give it to Jam_06, I feel kinda mean now Sad) but it looks like I can't till midnight tomorrow (but I have no clue as to what timezone). At least.

Also, I can't invite anybody like it says now. All the links are broken at the mo. Damn thing! I don't want to wait a whole 22 hours!

 		I have absolutely no idea what's going on, but if you go to http://www.c-cure.co.uk/lounge, and use my login info - username "bottomley" and password "charon" (I think), then you can see the empty glory that I'm seeing.

I don't think it does what it did before, does it? Comes up with a request for registration if you type Thomas Fuller at the main screen?

Hm I guess there's not too much to do now but sit and wait. Should this still be in this thread? Is there a proto-arg thread somewhere, for possible games?

The really strange thing is that I just posted those details on a public forum. They might not be there for too long!

 		Mmm.. sounds interesting. So how long do we have to wait until we can follow the leader? Very Happy

Edited: Checked it out.. you can invite people now. Looks like the same concept as OurColony is running on..

 		What's OurColony?

Ooh, it says new stuff, yippee! I am also an idiot for thinking that I had 24 hours to wait. I am tired. Coffee

 		Wah! I still don't get this. It's all a case of too much too soon, I think. So the next question must be - what now? I think in a few minutes I will take the login details down, and then I guess I shoud start inviting people. But in between those two I'm going to sleep (it's nearly 3AM here!).

 		Well, I shall invite some people, though I don't know any of you guy's emails - I think I'll just leave the "leader" login details up there for people to use and abuse as they see fit. That seems the easiest way to do things in my opinion. I'll appeal to people's sense of sportsmanship and honour not to transfer leadership. That would be mean, and then how could other people invite themselves?

Or have I got something wrong about the basic concept of this game?

Jam_06, I know as much as you do Sad

EDIT: Goodnight! I'll check back here tomorrow and see what's gone on Smile
Ah, sleep, perchance to dream... [/sup]
