subject Feed your head!

A hook dangles in front of you, glinting in the sun.

Your curiosity of course gets the best of you, so you reach out and grab it.

Take it!

 		Hmm, the site is a debate about creation and destruction.

 		The "choose" page gives me more of a cult recruitment vibe than ARG rabbithole.

 		Yeah, I sent something and answered false dichotomy with ambiguity. We'll see...

I get how it could be false dichotomy, but how do you use ambiguity in this sense?

 		My 'art' was pretty ambiguous... As were my answers. pseudonym, age=99.99%, contact=well you obviously know... I did a kind of flame collage, since I figured flame was both con & destructive, depending. Waiting for a reply. Sheesh, Philosophy 101.

 		Hey guys, I've never posted in one of these sections before but my friend approached me with this link and asked for my help figuring it out:

http://citizensfourourbetterment.com

Now, it seems to be counting down from 60,000 and the messages change daily. if you click the links to the left it sends you to a 'maze' page. I've looked into it and what i can find out is that it's related to some fueled by ramen/ Decaydance thing, but I'm still not really sure. The fact that both Pete Wentz and William Becket have posted blogs about this makes me skeptical, but still, though ya'll might want to take a shot at it and see what you could find. Enjoy Smile

Edited to fix link: the link was a new one where you have to fill in the info to get something in the mail. I'm gonna move this somewhere else since the label websites were 'hacked' and now no one knows whats going on lol

I wouldn't call it an ARG, but that record label also did a puzzle trail for Panic at the Disco early this year -- our discussion of it is here in the archives

I tried clicking links, never found the maze, and ran into some forbidden page, so I might not be doing it "right".

(i'd say, if you already have a potential trailhead, go ahead and start a thread -- this is for News and Rumors after all -- and keep this thread on topic for indecipherable spam emails)

 		I think you need to have a read here: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1593226/20080821/fall_out_boy.jhtml

citizensFORourbenefit.com is a viral campaign for Fall Out Boy
citizensFOURourbenefit.com is a viral/gamejack by the band Copeland to try and get some recognition out of Fall Out Boy fans that miss the typo.

 		Sure thing! Very Happy And thanks to you too, you just made us aware of not one but two separate virals! It sure is going to be hard to tell them apart though without some good labeling.

 		I was going to start a thread for it but I dont think I will since we already know what it's for but it is going to get confusing distinguishing between the two especially since Decay just got hacked
