Real Bri/x/ Incident. Anonymous
Two, maybe three - perhaps more or less, I've lost track of recent time - days ago, someone added me on MSN. Their e-mail, which I won't give out here, was rather ambiguous and hinted towards some kind of philosophical meaning. At first I assumed it was someone I knew or who knew me, and accepted them, not bothering to IM them.

After about a day passed and I got nothing in response from them, I sent my own greetings, asking if I knew them. I got no response to this. Later, I once again said simply "hi," and received only "Hello." Further attempts at communication yielded nothing.

Just within the last half-hour, I said "Hello" again after I saw that they were online, and what happened in the screenshot took place. Some time elapsed between the question and my response, because I was consulting a friend (also a fellow /x/er) about what my response would be, at which time I ultimately decided to leave it up to chance. Flipping a coin, it came out as tails - which meant I was going to say yes.

I responded rather off-handedly with "Why not?" and the person logged off of MSN shortly afterwards. I'm not sure if I answered incorrectly, or if there was even a right answer - or if perhaps whatever that is will continue later on, or if I'm just being messed with by someone. The one thing that strikes me is that only about a week (maybe less, maybe more - I mentioned my inability to keep a completely accurate timeframe in my head at the moment) or so ago, I visited the Neurocam website and discussed it with the friend I mentioned earlier. Do you think it has anything to do with that, /x/ers? The e-mail, if you think about it, had a minor connection to Neurocam, though it wouldn't make 100% sense given my geographical location. Not to mention it seems to follow the general in-the-dark patterns that you would find if you read up on Neurocam.

This is not copypasta, this is genuine original content, and I'm genuinely frightened. And curious. What does /x/ think?

Oh, and I would have posted the e-mail address but I'm somewhat afraid I'd be killed or beaten to shit or something similar for doing so. I already gave you a hint, if you find it out of your own accord then good for you, I don't suppose that would really be my fault.

This reeks of ARG. OP, are you a member of Unforums, ARGnet, or anything of that sort? Puppetmaster like to contact random people to provide their trailheads.

Unless of course, this IS a trailhead, and YOU are the puppetmaster.

OP.

>>826730
Well clearly I can prove nothing to you, but if you believe my word alone, no, I'm not signed up to any of those things. I'll be truthful, I didn't even know what ARG stood for until I read the thread about the Wyoming something or other earlier, and I still don't really understand what it means.

It's always possible there are a few people who could be pulling a silly joke on me, but it seems pretty elaborate just to mess with my head, don't you think? Only two or three of my friends are mad geniuses, so.

OP.

After being informed more about "ARG"'s, I've come to the conclusion that it's /most likely/ not anything of the sort. The only person who might have the intelligence to effectively orchestrate this is the friend I've mentioned, but how far could he take it? He doesn't know me in reality.

Believe me when I say none of the people I know or have ever met in reality have enough time, intelligence, and interest in messing with me to produce an ARG using myself as a victim. The odds are pretty small that this isn't a third party I'm unfamiliar with.

>>826730here.

I'm going to assume that you're not the puppetmaster. For the time being, I'm going to assume that this is indeed a grassroots ARG, and that you are being contacted by a would-be puppetmaster.

In this case, no, he's not trying to mess with your head. In fact, you're doing what the puppetmaster wants: spreading the word. 4chan has an untapped potential for trailheads. I'm sure he didn't expect this to be posted on 4chan, though.

ARG rule #1: A whisper is louder than a shout.

OP, do me a favor. Head to Unforums, News and Rumours section. You don't need to register. You're going to see a thread near the top that says: "Could that email or IM be a trailhead, or SPAM?". Post everything there, e-mail address, screencap, and all.

What the fuck is a trailhead and a puppetmaster? Some demonic cult shit?
>> Anonymous
>>826773

Trailhead: The initial site, e-mail, IM, etc. that gets the Alternate Reality Game going. They can be anywhere, at anytime. It usually takes a while before they're noticed.

Puppetmaster: The writer and creator of the ARG. He writes the e-mails, posts the blogs, sets up the websites, etc. He also creates puzzles and narratives that the player is to piece together.

Hi Catalyst.

This seems very much like an ARG, even though you say it doesn't seem like one to you. Really, all they've done so far is contact you on MSN; not exactly a hard-to-orchestrate feat. Assuming anything further comes of this, you will most likely be contacted: usually there is some interaction to draw people in before the puzzles start. So it's unlikely you'll need to figure anything out right now. Let us know on the Unforum site if you do get anything more.

>>826802

Before I would have been perfect okay with sharing the email. After reading the thread though I'm a little scared too (mostly because you were).

The screen name however was SCP-134. Odd that anyone could get my email as I hardly use it and I've just recently started using MSN again.
>> Catalyst
>>826803
At this point I'm divided 50/50 and I'm wondering how this could happen if I'm not signed up to any sites like this, and only know a few people who MIGHT want to do this to me but most likely wouldn't. There's also the point that, should that other anon be serious about also getting the same IM, we're both two completely unrelated people (I myself don't have my e-mail listed anywhere publicly to my knowledge) that were randomly selected for an ARG? That seems a bit unlikely, to say the least.

>>826796
If you're serious, add the e-mail to the anon who posted a bit ago with his e-mail listed and we can discuss it on MSN. We've already got one other anon and we're talking about it, along with Neurocam. Same goes to anyone else who has received the IM or just generally wants to discuss this.

You were probably chosen at random. Or, someone you know is the puppetmaster. Oh, and I see you took my advice. Great Job!

As for Neurocam, do you think it might be a red herring? I'll post the Neurocam topic from Unforums:

"Get out of your mind" is a Neurocam catchphrase. Either the message had something to do with those guys, or your friend is dicking with you. That is, unless you're just trying to screw with us.

For all of you theorizing about Neurocam, read their website already, damnit. It's just an ARG, and apparently has something to do with one "Robin Hely," seeing as the stuff is hosted on her site:

Don't judge too harshly. ARGs are great when executed properly. I see them as part of the future of gaming: always multiplayer, both casuals and hardcores can enjoy them, and the experience changes with gameplay.

Is it for sure an ARG/art thing? Because from what I've read on the Unforums thread, they all seem pretty convinced that it IS real.

Of course, I browsed the first six pages before deeming it major tl;dr and skipping to the last page. I probably missed stuff. I'm not too familiar with Neurocam, or ARGs in general.
