I'd go. And as I type this, am looking at the FDO™'s tour schedule to see if this matches up (since he also was given this case thing if my memory serves me rightly). And he doesn't show up to NY until the 20th. All the same, interesting. Interesting. I’d go.

I was looking at the post in a very myopic light. After rereading my comment and then your follow up, I feel like a heel. JC, With what you have been given from Case Man and the information sent from Armacham it is up to you. Since you are not the only one targeted by both Case Man and Armacham you can be pretty sure that you aren't going to be the only one with the extra knowledge there should you go. A little more digging to get more info on how to harden your mind before you go? I'm not sure what all is out there other than what you've posted already as I haven't had the time to delve into this myself. There must be ways to secure yourself and be able to pass the exams to "move up" to the next level. Plus, knowing what Case Man has told you, you are better preparred than those who have not received his information. I echo 3rd Bob's sentiment, go for it. WP 3B,

JC,

The one waving at you? Yeah, that one. That's the point. You appear to have missed it by a long shot. Or at least some of it. J.C. knows that this is an ARG...as do we all. Go back to the first Silver Case video and listen as he says so. But that's metagame thinking. Half the fun of an ARG is "buying in" to the reality presented and playing along. And ever since passing through the rabbit hole (in this case, watching the DVD and/or opening the case), JC's done just that. As did the other commentors before you. So, yeah, in Regular Reality, it'd be relatively* safe for JC to go to the event in NYC. But within the ARG, there is a legitimate question on if it is safe or not. * As safe as any plane trip to NYC. Something could happen any time, but usually doesn't. JC: Free trip to NYC, and a chance to break this mystery open? I'd go. Case Man's at least given you some sort of warning, so even if you don't trust him fully, you know not to trust Armacham 100% either. Like not accepting anything they offer to drink. :) If nothing else, you might get a novel idea out of the experience. WP: See that dot waaaaaaaaay over there? The one waving at you? Yeah, that one.

Go. Make the call and book the trip. Your not paying. Its a rabbit hole. Its not 'real' as in them stealing or implanting things into your mind or changing you. You created an ARG with Dark Arts. If Dark Arts had this, would you participate? Would you be let down if a person chosen to participate this way in your ARG didnt? Twitter while your in NYC. I would love to have that chance. WP JC,

I called it did I not? :) Go for it... free trip to NYC!! I bet it would be a hell of an experience!! Plus you may be genetically altered to possess psychic powers!! Think of the possibilities - you could mentally influence a battle between FOX and Universal for the rights to 7th Son! :) Do it dude... do it!!! :) Dude!!

OMG I don't think I would go if I were u, unless of course they don't ask you to sign a waiver. If you have to sign something then no ... but then again if they don't ask you to sign a waiver then maybe it is all a scam??? go with your gut feel on this one. WHF???
