Hi... this is my first post here at Hatrack. OSC is one of my favorite authors... Ender's Game really got me into reading when I was younger.

Anyway, I'm posting because I thought you all might be interested or might know something about this...? I know it's not OSC related but, thought you might find it interesting:

HelpMeVeronica.com

It's pretty detailed... and if you click on the video itself, it takes you to the YouTube page with fake people posting comments, and some of them even have fake LJs where they post about it. Sounds a little like an ARG? Or a marketing ploy?

What do you all think?

It's interesting -- very obviously fake, but interesting nonetheless.

I'll admit I'm wondering what'll happen next.

What's an "ARG"?

I believe it means Alternate Reality Game. Wikipedia it, they are pretty interesting.
